My first inclination, when assigned to write about my perfect writing workplace, was to pick a verandah on a beach house overlooking the ocean maybe in the Caribbean. I absolutely love the sound and smell of the ocean. But upon further reflection, I decided that would not be my perfect place, at least, it would not be my perfect writing place, now for a vacation, it would be fantastic. So, after much consideration, I decided that I would love to have a writing retreat in a rustic setting. This
For me I have always believed my writing to be lacking a little something. I knew my writing could be much stronger with a few drafts and a lot of improvements in my concentration while writing. When it comes to writing I am the type of person whom can make multiple attempts at prewriting and drafting. This is a hard process at times for me as I am normally the type to get right to the point while trying to write something. I tend to make it to were I can get what I need to be said in a paragraph
John Dickerson’s “Don’t Fear Twitter” first appeared in the summer 2008 issue of Nieman Reports. In his essay, he argues that Twitter, a popular social media website, can be a useful outlet for journalists to provide little spurts of their writings. I chose to analyze Dickerson’s entry for the reason that it’s an intriguing topic for young adults similar to myself, since the younger generation is always trying to find different ways to view and use social media outlets. I also found his choice of
In an interview to Lee Spinks, David Malouf talked about the writing of An Imaginary Life. He has said that:- I didn’t realize I was writing a novel when I started that book. I didn’t know what I was writing, whether it was a long dramatic monologue in prose or whether I was writing a long prose poem, or a piece of part fiction, part-monologue, part-essay.

“ It’s time to admit that system has no place in our future” (Thomsen, 2). I agree with most of Thomsen’s viewpoints stating the negative ramifications of the grade scale. However, I do not agree with his stance

Throughout the essay of “Walking,” Thoreau makes fairly bolt statement about nature in its truest, most intense form. One could even say that the essay that the use of nature was an extensive reiteration of one of the many themes Thoreau uses to remind the reader about the existence of this ‘wild’ thing called nature. Even by the first sentence of the essay, he says that nature is “Absolute freedom and wildness,” (Section 1 on Bartleby’s online version of “Walking.”) which is basically the subject
inspired me to achieve this rewarding and fulfilling goal for every day of my life. To be an adult nurse I believe you have to have five qualities that make you perfect for the job, these are: commitment, courage, communication, competence and compassion. I like to believe I withhold all of these characteristics, making me a perfect applicant for the course at your university.
