When I was thirteen, I finished National Novel Writing Month for the first time. High on caffeine and enthusiasm, I crossed the 50,000 word threshold on day twenty-three. Even though I’ve won NaNoWriMo every year since, that was still the proudest moment of my life, not because I wrote The Great American Novel (ha ha, not even close) but because I proved that it’s possible to sit down and accomplish something huge, even when you had no road map and no idea what you’re doing. Mind you, that doesn’t mean that it’s easy. On the contrary, NaNoWriMo might be one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. You’re writing a 200 page novel in a month. I don’t care if you’re Stephen King; if you think that’s easy, you’re crazy. But even when I’m lying on
My personal memoir is going to be about when I moved here in Homedale, Idaho. When I was 6 I moved to Homedale and I was going to start 2nd Grade. When I got dropped off by my parents I went to the playground. When I was young I used to never speak to anyone because I was so shy and scared. When I got there a kid named Oscar came up to me and asked me what is your name, for a few seconds I stood there saying nothing and finally I said my name Osue. There were one of his friends that I remember, there was Antonio, but that wasn’t the first time I have seen Antonio because the house we moved into I went outside threw rocks and so did he but when I backed up and went forward etc. he copied me. I When we went I she Ms. Garrett was welcoming us
It started as typical Tuesday with a couple of court hearings, maybe an arrest, but nothing to exciting. That all changed at dawn.
As I was reading through the feedback I received on the first major paper I have written in over four years, I happened to think of something I read on a pink notebook in Walmart last night. “Good feedback is the key to improvement.” When I saw the small errors I missed, I knew it was time to start making some healthy adjustments to my writing. Although I have a terrible habit of using contractions and comma splices, I would like to expand my vocabulary and make my writing stronger, be able to incorporate more transitional statements, and I would like to become more comfortable with comma usage.

Did it ever occur to you, why some people can become very influential and take power even with radical ideals? Have you ever wondered why people are extremely convinced to purchase certain products? Animal Farm is a novel written by George Orwell. The purpose of the Animal Farm novel is to convey the adverse effects and consequences of Communism. The purpose of the “Brotherly Love” Coca-Cola advertisement is to persuade customers to buy Coca-Cola. It is very clear that the “Brotherly Love” Coca-Cola commercial utilizes pathos more effectively than Animal Farm’s use of pathos. This is apparent because pathos can leave the viewer/reader with an emotional impact, which is shown through the brother-brother relationship. However, Animal Farm uses plain folk very well with Snowball and Old Major’s attempts to equalize all of the animals on the farm.
Week one has passed by quickly! I think this week was very successful and I can say that I have learned many new things. This week has been an experience for me learning things about the business world. I am not a business major so I was not expecting to take these classes. I was assigned them, but have found them very beneficial. As I read through the first couple of chapters I read things I had heard before. This was a good thing that I could put the information with the terms I had heard previously.
During the 19th century men and women still had the same gender roles that society enforced amongst them. In addition to putting this pressure on women to get espoused as soon as possible and that a husband was more paramount for an adolescent woman than a college degree. However, if a woman was not engaged or espoused in her early twenties, she was in peril of being considered an “old maid”. Blacks even faced housing discrimination, while the Lower-class women worked as maids, and the middle-class women worked as educators, nurses or secretaries. Although, abortion was illegal at the time and Blacks was dealing with financial difficulties that did not stop them from wanting the American Dream.
Al, Alde, de, shon, deshon, and Al’Deshon my name takes on many forms. Kind of like my writing in a sense. I have never been a strong writing also being the reason, I took this class first semester I think. If I get it out of the way maybe I’ll have an easier chance of reaching the finish line happening to be graduation.
Thinking about our first writing assignment, one of the suggestions focuses on the comparison of writing to running, it became apparent to me that this is something I would enjoy writing about. I am a long time running advocate, competing in marathons, and a neophyte writing student, and I find many similarities in both endeavors.
( Before I decide to dive in on my blog post sharing my experiences with animals or anything else. There is a very important post I need to put out. This post covers probably the biggest aspect of my life, Autism ).
Growing up with a father in the military, you move around a lot more than you would like to. I was born just east of St. Louis in a city called Shiloh in Illinois. When I was two years old my dad got the assignment to move to Hawaii. We spent seven great years in Hawaii, we had one of the greatest churches I have ever been to name New Hope. New Hope was a lot like Olivet's atmosphere, the people were always friendly and there always something to keep someone busy. I used to dance at church, I did hip-hop and interpretive dance, but you could never tell that from the way I look now.
Assembling a time capsule that will contain three of my most priced possession’s is quite exihilarting. However, the three significant items that will be enclosed for years and years will contain personal belongings of myself for other’s to see and connect with. To clarify, the time capsules that I have seen through videos or movies all contain things such as the clothes from that era, newspaper articles, and love letters. However, mine would be a case of CD’s, a video recording, and a binder filled with my journal entries. To clarify, by putting a case of CD’s inside a time capsule is based on what the songs make me feel. It will contain a small sentence in front of the CD and it will say somethiing like, “Music to listen to when you have
I can remember the moment I finished. At 2:45 A.M., I submitted all 50,025 words of my novel on to the NaNoWriMo website, finally receiving my winners’ certificate. I rushed upstairs, racing past my brother to print out my certificate and hang it on my wall. He asked why I was up so late, and when I told him, he said, “Oh, sweet!”
La eutanasia es un acto deliberado que causa la muerte llevada a cabo por una persona con la intención primordial de poner fin a la vida de otra persona, con el fin de aliviar a las personas que sufren. Por ejemplo, un médico da a un paciente con cáncer terminal una sobredosis de relajantes musculares para poner fin a su vida, sería considerado para haber llevado a cabo la eutanasia.
Throughout the course of our lives, we must collaborate with people who may have completely different upbringings and have vastly different belief systems than what we may hold ourselves. One scenario in my life in which I had to collaborate with someone different than me was when I had to work with an overly aggressive football player who was a year younger. He started on the freshmen team but soon became the starting quarterback of the varsity team when he was a sophomore. I was on the JV team and was the backup quarterback both my junior and sophomore year. We came from different social groups, and I worried that we would not get along on or off of the field.
