Donna's Response: Once More To The Lake

480 Words2 Pages

Essay A, Essay B One big aspect in Donna's response was her emphasis and importance of developing a thesis. The two essays we read were precursors in showing us the importance of a thesis and how we are to incorporate it into our writing. Donna also went on to talk about the importance of considering your audience. When it comes to the two essays, "Once More to the Lake" happens to be much more relatable and pertinent than "The Death of the Moth." She also touched on the importance of symbolism. These essays were great examples on how to portray a deeper meaning in a piece of writing. In general terms this essay prompt helped us establish and look into the basics of writing an essay. Learning From An Editor More often than Not in various movies I watch and books I read I am left astonished and in wonder on how something happened. Leaving your audience in wonder intrigues them, pushing to continue reading or watching. In this response Donna showed the importance of essay hooks and bewilderment. As humans our attention spans have been decreasing, so …show more content…

He goes to show how he was ridiculed in life and how he pushed forward and pursued his goals anyways. "I throw my weight against their locked doors. The door holds. I am smart. I am arrogant. I am lucky. I am trying to save our lives." This quote explains the trouble he was having with teaching young Indians how to read and write. This essay could set an example for anyone trying to accomplish something in life be it small or catastrophic. In this essay he also uses his title and a story about a comic book to explain his struggle in breaking down doors and opening new avenues for young aspired Indians. This essay provides a great example on how we establish a deeper meaning in our

    Among the three essays, “How My Illiterate Grandmother Raised an Educated Black Man” by Terrell Jermaine Starr occupied my mind most. Objectively, it is in part because it was the first essay I read; therefore, it offered me a strong impression comparing to other essays. Subjectively, the story itself was truly interesting and moving. In addition, the title was like both a brief summary and the curiosity trigger.

From making a phone call and speaking to health professionals, she did the best she could to help her mother get out of uncomfortable and frustrating situations. This was a personal essay because Amy Tan used a personal experience involving her life and her mother's life. Tan used ethos, logos, and pathos in her essay. She used ethos because she was identifying herself to the reader.

  • Meaning Of Life In Susan Wolf's Analysis

    135 Words  | 1 Pages

    The question of meaning in life is a problem discussed intensively in different scientific areas such as psychology, philosophy, sociology, and even anthropology. This book by Susan Wolf offers a perspective which approaches the problem from a philosophical point of view. However, her focus is not on the question of the ultimate meaning of human life, as in some previous philosophical works, but on the question of how people seek and maintain meaningful lives. This focus shifts Wolf ’s work more to the psychological point of view, because it does not ask whether the world and human life has a higher purpose; rather, it asks what are the conditions in which a person experiences that his or her life is meaningful? Or, in other words, he or she

    The first reason on why I chose this essay is because it changes the point of view multiple times throughout the paper. For example, in paragraph 4 and 5 the author explains that at night in the narrow streets of Soho in New York City woman get scared and fear the worst from the author, who is black. From there, the author explains what he thinks and the woman is thinking during the same situation. It draws attention for the reader and keeps the reader’s eyes glued on the paper when reading this. The second reason why I chose this essay is because it is very personal.

    Analysis of an Essay Do you ever wonder how a brutal murder victim appears to look their normal selves at their funeral? Well, in Jessica Mitford’s “Behind the Formaldehyde Curtain”, she takes us through the amazing, yet disturbing process called Embalming and Restorative Arts. Mitford is disgusted and completely against it because she thinks it is inhumane, so she goes into illustrative detail by using similes, and a great deal of imagery. Mitford’s purpose of the essay was to gain support in objecting towards embalming, and inform us of the process through graphic detail. She did this using process analysis and telling us step by step.

    The first essay I chose to read was called I Am in Dementia Prison with My Mom, Janet had no prior knowledge or understanding as to why her mother’s health, mind, and thought process was deteriorating. She couldn’t come to terms with her mom being mental sick and when she did she had help and support from her entire family. The second was titled Transferring Mom was New, But Restlessness and Inactivity Kindled her Agitation. Against her and he husband better judgment she took her mom to the store. I believe she did this because she did not want to tell her mom no, as a caregiver, especially to a loved one sometime following your intuition and saying no can be difficult

  • Langto's Essay: What Is Salvation?

    442 Words  | 2 Pages

    After reading all of the essays I found it interesting how different all of the essays but how similar they were in a way. The three essays were completely different from one another, but something that I found to be related in them all was judgement of others. In every essay there seemed to be someone at one point or another trying to impress someone. "Salvation" Langston felt he had to lie about religion for acceptance, or in "A view from the bridge" a man was judging a boy on his appearance, "A Partial Remembrance of a Puerto Rican childhood" had a few wether it was the little girls Mama judging others in their family or the little girl doing things to not be judged by her grand mom something I seen similar in them all. The essays are also very different though cause of the stories that are told, "Salvation" is about religion, "A Partial Remembrance of a Puerto Rican childhood" is more about the culture they live in, "A view from the bridge" is about human interaction and helping someone out.
