AP Language And Composition Analysis

838 Words4 Pages

In preparation for AP Language and Composition, I (and the rest of the class) was asked to write an essay to re-introduce myself as a reader, writer, and a thinker/learner to my peers. Quite frankly, I believe this is the first time I’ve done any of these things all summer. While I’ve done few, if any, of these tasks all summer till now, I’m going to try and reflect on times I did and see what I was like/who I was while performing them. While I barely read and usually only do when I have to, there are certain subjects and themes in books which make me interested in them compared to other books/novels. For example, I know this is a very stereotypical answer but my favorite books of all time are all the books in the Harry Potter series. I seem to like to read books which have a sense of realism in them but they wouldn’t take place in the world we live in. This may sound confusing, but I love how Harry Potter is literally a book about wizards in their world but since it is so incredibly detailed and well explained, you actually forget this wizarding world doesn't exist and you believe it is a real place. I love being taken out of this world and being …show more content…

On the other hand, realistic books with a non interesting story such as Huckleberry Finn bore me to death! To be fair though, I love the book To Kill a Mockingbird, so I

  • Using Rhetoric Analysis In AP Language And Composition

    428 Words  | 2 Pages

    So far in AP Language and Composition, we have learned how to critically analyze texts using rhetorical and literary analysis. I feel comfortable with literary analysis because of how frequently and often I have been doing it in the past couple of years. Regarding rhetorical analysis we have learned diverse types of appeals used in rhetoric, appealing to a reader’s emotions using pathos, an ethical appeal using ethos, or appealing to a reader’s logic using logos. These skills and concepts are completely new to me and I am still beginning to understand how to use these appeals in my writing strategically. However, I feel more confident in finding these appeals in other rhetorical texts, including ads and speeches, because of how much practice

In order to change the genre and discipline to fit the requirements of a research paper about history it will be essential to change the format from MLA to Chicago. The history paper will be an analysis rather than a critical thinking assignment and will need background information from reliable sources that provide sufficient proof.

  • Ap Language Memo

    While reviewing my first memo the three main issues that I saw was the unnecessary use of verbiage, ineffective use of transitions between sentences and paragraphs, and remembering to completely flesh out each test in the rule proof. The most helpful thing I can do in to help myself is just to reread my paper multiple times and even maybe have my peers to look at my paper with fresh eyes. Being concise and to the point is clearly my biggest problem. I have started to edit my paper down multiple times on different days to cut down my extremely long and over complicated sentences. I also think that if I go sentence by sentence then it will be easier for me to cut down on the words that are not needed for the sentence to make sense.

    2004 AP English Language & Composition Free-Response Questions: Question 1 In the 1746 letter to his young son, Lord Chesterfield asserts to his son the importance of taking the full advantage of education in achieving excellence through the usage of various rhetorical features such as understatement, irony, and rhetorical questions. Throughout the first paragraph, Lord Chester repetitively uses understatements to establish a tone of sympathy. By acknowledging that parental advice is often“ascribed to the moroseness, the imperiousness, or the garrulity of old age” in lines 3 to 8, Chesterfield seeks to build an illusion of understanding with his son, setting the scene to present his assertions in disguise of friendly advice.

    I took AP English Language and Composition during the 2016-17 school year. My overall grade in the class was an A. Participating in this class taught me invaluable lessons about how to convey my ideas clearly both in written and spoken word. In-class essays and the rigor of larger projects taught me to focus not only on what I was writing, but also how I was writing it. Techniques for editing and reading that I learned in AP Lang have made it easier to read my writing with more self-awareness, and also to consider how it will be interpreted by my audience and what I can do to influence that interpretation. Having taken AP Lang, I now feel more confident approaching nearly any English-related assignment, and know that I have the skills necessary

It was the first time I had ever received a perfect score on an essay. I was, undoubtedly, pleasantly surprised; however, inwardly, I knew how much effort I had to put in to excel in a language that used to be alien to me. As a Polish American, I grew up solely speaking Polish, not knowing a single word in English upon entering Kindergarten.
