It is Connor’s last semester in medical school. In order to earn an internship at a top-rank hospital, Connor must write a ten page reflective essay on which part of medicine impacted him the most. Connor has no idea what to write about as multiple ideas come to mind but none of them are his own. Like all writers, Connor must make sure he avoids obvious content and instead give his genuine and original idea to allow the reader to understand how he truly feels about the specific topic. To be able to provide a clear visual of what impacted him the most, Connor, like all writers, must slip out of abstraction when writing and provide enough detail to not just help the reader visualize but to also embody the experience, leaving a lasting impression. While providing enough detail to help the reader visualize their vision, the writer must make sure they avoid padding and be as direct as possible. Being direct will help Connor reflect and share his experience while keeping the reader engaged and demonstrating a better understanding of how he feels. Consequently, all writers can write well by projecting their own voice while keeping the material fresh, providing detail for a more vivid experience, using strong evidence, and establishing their own voice amongst other writers. Writers must avoid obvious content because it will help them project their own voice and keep the material fresh. In order to be distinct and voice their opinions, writers must “sum and dispose of the trite and

When assigned my first essay, “My Greatest Accomplishment,” I took time to brainstorm different ideas that defined me. The accomplishment that stood out the most to me was qualifying for State Track in four events on a sprained ankle. While writing this essay, I felt like a baby learning how to walk. My writing was unsteady and I took a few tumbles trying to get the paragraphs to flow. This reminded me of trying to run on my sprained ankle at the State-qualifying meet. However, like I finished the paper, I finished my events with qualifying times. I knew the essay would prove difficult, but I grew hopeful while writing because I knew I had numerous
So, First of all a writer should form the habit to write the true facts and to solve the pretentious diction problem by thinking about everyday words that will represents that idea. If he or she can not find or think of it, they should include proper example, metaphor or other factors so that normal people can understand clearly. This way they can also prevent hidden
Writers have set their individual writing style apart by making it usually which is unique and for some part the writing can address differently to fit specific content, purpose and audience.
In August, our first day in the college class, Mrs. Garth talked with the class about what this semester was going to be like. She spoke to us as college students and not little children. She told us that Comp. was all about writing. As a class, we knew there would be more writing than we were use to, but the very first paper that Mrs. Garth told us to write was unlike any other paper I had ever wrote on my own. We were told to write about our favorite foods, our not so favorite foods, or a tragedy that has happened to us in our life. Of course, I wrote about the tragedy, my paper was written on the note of my grandmother passing away. I used very descriptive details in my writing about what the days were like for me and how I felt after she was gone. While writing the paper, I thought to myself
Authors use various styles of writing to appeal to different types of audiences. The Jungle by Upton Sinclair and “The Most Dangerous Job” by Eric Schlosser both utilize ethos, pathos, and logos writing styles to convince the audience of their ideals. An author uses ethos in writing to show his/her credentials and explain why he/she is credible. Pathos appeals to an audience’s emotions and makes the audience feel sympathy or pity. The author draws feelings out of the audience and compels the audience to feel what the author wishes them to feel. Logos uses facts, statistics, historical and literal analogies, and quotes from authorities on a subject to convince the audience with logic or reason. Upton Sinclair and Eric Schlosser have the goal of exposing the corruption in the meatpacking industry, but the authors develop their arguments through similar and contrasting approaches.
While attending writing class, I learned about the 4 steps in writing, bases for revising, organizing, and connecting specific information, and I also learned about the different types of essays such as descriptive, narrative, process, cause and effect and argumentative essay. I have been a student at Milwaukee Area Technical College for 1 semester, and over the course of my enrollment I have grown and learned more that I knew prior to attending this writing course. Participating in this writing class has taught me so much more than stuff about literature and language, it has taught me another way of expressing myself. I have learned here how to write and express myself, how to think for myself, and how to find the answers to the things that I don 't know. Most importantly I have learned how important technique, outlines and organization are. My goal in this paper is to inform writers about how my writing skills have improved.
In doing so, I reflected on why exactly I wanted to go into health care. I am choosing to become a doctor because I want to be able to help. As a stated in my memoir, my mother had a stroke and just like Meredith Grey in Grey’s Anatomy, I want to be able to help my mom. Looking back now, I feel that I was very successful in explaining exactly how I was influenced by Grey’s Anatomy. I also feel that I was unsuccessful with MLA format. Reviewing my essay now, I have found multiple mistakes that with a little bit more reviewing before turning it in, I would have

Most people have begun reading a selection and become bored by it instantly. Paul Roberts in his "How to Say Nothing in Five Hundred Words," provides many strategies to prevent the writer from boring their reader and to help them reach their audience. When writing, there are multiple precautions the writer should take before deciding what they wish to write about and what side to take. Paul Roberts says, "The writer's job is to find the argument, the approach, the angle, the wording that will take the reader with him" (4). Some strategies that he discusses include avoiding the obvious content, taking the less usual side, and colorful and colorless words. By avoiding obvious content, it means that the writer shouldn't use the obvious reasons
Writing essays were not in the job description. The knowledge that I had absorbed at one time, over time vanished. Writing nurse’s notes compared to writing essays are completely dissimilar. Composing a nurse’s note rises from my fingertips with ease, confidence and seems so effortless. The descriptions required for an extraordinary nurse narrative originate with almost no thought or so it seems. In actuality, the techniques and proper grammar I learned in my English composition courses contribute to my well-organized nurse narratives and wound reports that I compile on a weekly basis. Writing about wounds, a head to toe assessment, or a medical event that occurred with a patient is a natural occurrence for me. Composing my thoughts, ideas and constructing those ideas to paper is complicated for me to
My scholarly journey began once again about seven months ago when I enrolled in the Doctoral program offered by ACE University. This short span of time has left an everlasting impression on me as a writer. My experience during the introductory course has changed my perspective and I have come to realize that every individual has a unique way of writing and expressing thoughts and any scholarly writing is a crystal ball of one’s thoughts and reflection. According to Literary Devices, 2017, writing can also be described as a voice that readers listen to when they read the work of a writer.
Popham, as well as 5 other or more literary scholars contributing to the dissection of the letters being written within the healthcare profession, inform the reader the differing facets that contribute to the syntax or writing style that is seen in all three correspondence letters. As emerging students into the healthcare field, we need to start associating ourselves with the respective discourse. Although, the nature of such correspondence is an ever changing one, exposure to such correspondence or letters, serve as viable tools to use when creating such work, hence the exposure of these letters in this particular discussion. By the same token, creating content that achieves its goals and desired purpose should be a primary concern, thus, focusing to improve our writing skills by seeking effective means is permissible.
Writing is essential to everyone ranging from grade-schoolers to adults. We use what we learn throughout our whole lives, and gradually improve along the way. Now looking back at and going through previous assignments I can surely reflect. These writings include our letters to the class of 2016, personal narratives, informative composition, process analysis composition, and several smaller pieces of writing.
The days of training health care professions, such as nurses, in hospitals have gone, shifting the focus of ‘practice-oriented’ to ‘professionalised’ (Rolfe, 2009). The change of focus on the study of health care leaves students with the challenge of gaining academic writing styles, which many lack. An affective academic paper is presented in a certain way with a set structure, with a specific purpose and formed through a structured process. If students do not know how to correctly form and present an essay, problems may occur in the form of plagiarism, leaving the academic paper ineffective. An academic essay with no structure is as ineffective as one without the right process, both are need for an academic paper to be successful.
