What I was told from the people that read my essay, they said it was confusing and hard to follow. Sadly, this is something I hear very often. When I write my essays, especially my rough draft, I do a lot of thinking, and I write when I think. However, I try to cram so …
I attend the University of New England which has thousands of people, but this is no comparison to what my high school was like. I came from a school of only 150 kids a class. It was crazy, everyone new everyone. However, I’m not the only one that has this issue. Marie’s interviewee spoke about …
I will say that reading this essay a second time made a lot more sense. It made so much more sense, that I even crossed out some of my original annotations because they were wrong. One thing I did differently this time a round is I defined some many words I didn’t understand. These words …
I agree with Galen’s argument that people can have many selves. I believe that in just one day, a person can express themself in different ways that make it appear as if they have many selves. Take this for example. Let’s say that you’re having a conversation with your strict college professor in the morning. …
One of the first things I took note of while reading this essay was the argument between redemption and contamination writing.

Anne Lamont’s writing technique is a really interesting approach on how to write a rough draft. However, mine can actually compare to this technique. I can also agree that a first draft is supposed to be ‘careless’ and full of thoughts. If you read my essay, there are many many run-on sentences, or sentences that …
This essay contains great arguments and definitely has the potential to be great. Your last body paragraph is by far the best part of your essay. It has the best quotes and argument, and it flows perfectly with you essay. Your intro, however, needs some work. It just doesn’t connect with the reader right off …
Have you ever heard of the saying, “Take it with a grain of salt?” This saying is used to tell be to take things less serious, or take it as exaggerated. However, it may be harder to take something with a grain of salt than people originally thought. People completely underestimate the power of words, …
“Metaphors are a fundamental mechanism through which our minds conceptualize the world around us, especially in the face of complexity.” I completely agree with this quote. Metaphors in my opinion, form the English language that we know today. Metaphors are all around us today, and sometimes, metaphors are used when we don’t even realize it. …
