These favorite writing revision strategies come from not only what I’ve learned in the english classroom and also what I’ve learned from my science classes around how to design an experiment. I like just writing what pops into my head at that moment. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that the first take at something is usually the best; no matter how rough it is. I also try to relate to whatever it is I’m writing, I feel…
My goal for this paper is quite simple. I want to convey what I believe to be the definition of true beauty and what exactly that encompasses. The steps I plan to take to achieve this is by making sure my own story is included in the larger one. Readers can relate better when the writer gets personal. I also want to include examples of things society deems important as that is what the reader is most likely going to…
Ideas that I have regarding the incorporation of other media into my final essay include spatial, auroral, and visual. I want to structure my essay at certain points to look different. That includes making sentences their own line to help define a point or just have different spacing options throughout the essay. I want to make it look unique and help more easily convey what I’m trying to say. In regard to auroral, I want to add either a movie…
Armstrong says something very interesting here about beauty and experience. What he says exactly is, “To regard beauty as a luxury adornment or a social signifier was to miss the true potential of the experience.” There’s a lot going on in here and it’s pretty fascinating stuff. From my point of view, beauty is anything that has meaning and that I, as a human, can relate back to. I feel that society views beauty as more of a superficial subject…
I really liked Meghan and Alysa’s presentation because they picked a topic of fascination I have. Seeing different murals whenever I travel is always intriguing to me since I like to find the meaning in things. Sometimes murals are just there for personal enjoyment and a laugh; but I’m really glad they dove into the meaning in this. So, yes, I believe their presentation lent me a new perspective because everyone has different opinions on murals and I’m always happy…
This was a very interesting activity as I believed I would be spot on with all these topics. I thought to myself, yeah I was actively making sure I had all these in my essay while I was writing it. To start, patterns I see is that when it comes to repetition, I have a strong start and emphasize words I’m keen on, but that a little more on some key words from my thesis would go a long way…
The main argument that Jonah Lehrer is arguing in his article, “The Future of Science…Is Art” is that science cannot advance further without the incorporation of art. That the one notable time in history when the two went hand in hand was a huge scientific achievement! Throughout the article, Lehrer gives us countless examples of when artists used science in their novels and that it was the reason these novelists were huge successes. No scientist wants to admit that they’ll…

The essay was published the same month that the website was created and has some pretty powerful and influential contributors, such as Elon Musk and Tony Blair….
Before I Added a quote: In his TED Talk, “The Transformative Power of Classical Music,” he tells of a story when he changed a little boy’s life forever. Through his explanation of how to listen and understand classical music, a little boy from Ireland finally cried and grieved his older brothers death. After I Added a quote: Through his explanation of how to listen and understand classical music, a little boy from Ireland finally cried and grieved his older brothers death as he told…
Intro – Before: Intro – After: Shallow Pond – Before: Shallow Pond – After: The Little Seagull Handbook only really reaffirmed what my peers had said about my writing. What they had written for comments made logical sense to me, so when I opened up Little Seagull, it was no surprise that when I came to the sections on tightening up a paragraph and writing a great introduction paragraph(s) they said they same thing. I didn’t preview anything about Southan or Zander…
