Thought About Writing

We are presented in both ‘Twelve Angry Men’ and ‘On The Waterfront’ with environments that represent the tensions between characters and their ability to overcome conflict and prove justice. In ‘Twelve Angry Men’ the jury room is described as “a large, drab, bare room in need of painting, with three windows in the back wall through which can be seen the New York skyline.” The way, in which the jurors are seated facing each other, on the long scarred table that represents the previous troubles and journeys of the jury room, inspires truth and transparency and allows for confrontation between the jurors. In contrast to when Terry Malloy stands in front of the foggy church elaborating he is unclear and still on the pathway to finding himself,

In the 1920’s Miss Lillie P. Bliss, Mrs. Cornelius J. Sullivan, and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., created The Museum of Modern Art in 1929. Its founding director, Alfred H. Barr, Jr., wanted the Museum to be dedicated to helping people understand and enjoy the visual arts of our time, and that it might provide New York with “the greatest museum of modern art in the world.”MoMA also owns about two million film stills. The Museum has a collection of modern and contemporary art exhibitions with a wide range of subject matter, mediums, and time periods, highlighting significant recent developments in the visual arts and new interpretations of major artists and art historical movements.The Museum is dedicated to its role as an educational institution and provides a program of activities set out to help both the general public and special segments of the community in approaching and understanding the world of modern and contemporary art. Today, The Museum of Modern Art welcome millions of visitors every year.

Strutting through the familiar, gate worn by time, I spread my arms, taking in the saccharine aroma of the fresh grass. The remaining glimmers of the sun glisten on every blade that peeks through the moist soil, composing a sea of sparkling beauty, only comparable to a poem. The meadow is breathtaking this evening, as the sun sets behind the trees in the distance, leaving a glow of pinks, peaches, ambers, and crimsons behind as if a bowl of fruit had exploded in the sky.

All throughout my years of schooling, I’ve had just about, one paper that was about one page long, due every year. My papers never had to be more than one page in length. Therefore, I did not have to do much writing or do many essays. Surely not enough to remember any of the assignments. Writing has never been something I enjoyed doing, so I never bothered to many any memories of my writing experiences. I did not think it was necessary to remember any of them since I only had to do them to get a grade. The only writing experience I remember was the first assignment I had in this English 100 class about a writing experience. All week long, I sat there thinking about what to write about, but nothing came to mind as a topic. Then, one thing came to mind, but it was so very vague, I could not write the length that was needed for the assignment. I could only think of a few sentences to write for it. After sitting for a few moments longer, I thought, how about I write about how difficult it was for me to write this essay before it was due.

You used to think the philosophy 'you only live one' is the most ridiculous excuse for justifying everything you've ever heard of - if you're meant to be reckless and live as fast as you can, 'there's a million and one ways to die' sounds much nicer. Explore them. Investigate them. Enjoy them. Cherish everyone of them, especially that split second between when you lean back in your chair and it hangs midway in air so close the the ground that the only thing you can think of is 'that is it.'

My relationship with writing could have culminated into three words; fear, quality, and of course no relationship is complete without excitement. Like any new relationship, emotions can determine the success or demise of the relationship. These emotions all work to the betterment of the writer and the writing relationship, each emotion feeding ever so slightly off one another. Exploring these writing relations reveal the truth where my writing relationship is concerned.

“Anything that can help us find out who did this.” I said, examining the crime scene. I walked towards what used to be the glass case that held the crown, but was now a useless, shattered cube.

Writing is a gateway that links the abstract to reality. It is the non-confidential confessor to our innermost thoughts. This art and science is an outlet for our emotions. Sometimes where our hands and thoughts are very cooperative, it is easy to write things down. Unfortunately, there are trying times when nothing at all that can persuade or coax this intricate relationship into working. The frustration that arises from not being to get past the first few words makes it essential to learn a few techniques to bridge you from one sentence to the other. An effective technique I have come across is the brain dump (Janet, 2016). It involves putting down the ideas in your head. Any thought on your subject is written down, whether it is complete or just a hanging idea. This tool facilitates me to realize mental clarity by picking and eliminating non-essential thoughts. I list down mental clutter on paper and this frees up some thinking space (Janet, 2016). Mental clutter is the thoughts in our head that arise from all the external stimuli that eat away at our concentration (Langan, 2013). After writing down these thoughts, I pick out the most

“It most certainly is not,” retorted Phillie. “Freddie is that terrible man from those awful movies made years ago. The man who would attack children in their sleep.”

For as long as I can remember I have been an avid talker so for me it is effortless when conveying a clear thought while speaking, yet trying to transfer my thoughts into writing has proven to be difficult. While coming

One of my biggest weaknesses is my inability to transfer my thoughts to paper. I truly enjoy discussing pieces of literature, as well as debating on numerous subjects; but I have always found it difficult to stop overthinking how I am writing, and focus more on what I am writing. My writing has always been affected by my attention to word choice and sentence structuring. While this may seem like a positive habit, I find it impedes my thought process. I focus so much and for such a long time on one word that I often forget what my next thought was going to be. Timed writing assignments have also been a struggle for me. I have found that when I am being timed, I am struck with a horrible case of writers block. This usually causes my first draft to be completely unrelated to the original question, or heavily laden with mistakes; after my horrible first draft, I always think of the perfect response to whatever question I am asked, but by that time I only have minutes left on the clock, and my great response is often left unfinished or clearly rushed . My grammar and spelling has also been a challenge for me. Since English is my second language spelling has always been an obstacle. I have taken steps to diminish these obstacles, such as tutoring and language classes, but I still find my skills

Since the first time I picked up a pencil and a piece of paper I have been taught how things ought to be done. Dot your i’s and cross your t’s, check your spelling, and do not forget the period at the end of each of your sentences. Writing shows you understand how to fit together facts and bits of information, but when does the real test of knowledge finally come into play? Your writing must express you, while still managing to cover all the appropriate content. All those years ago I wish I would have had someone to teach me that writing could be enjoyable; but for me, it is just another task that must be completed (and a difficult task at that). Writing has always been challenging; a job in other words, which takes time to learn, and despite its best efforts, has attempted to push me to grow.

Writing in college is often a huge transition for incoming freshman that do not have a very good writing background. I came from a high school where education was not taken very seriously, and the teachers did not take pride in their teaching. My grammar and punctuation skills were weak, and the whole thought of writing a four to six page essay was a very stressful thought. At the beginning of the semester I had already learned more in writing then what I had learned in my whole four years of high school. I have passed essays two and three and have started to see my writing skills progress as the semester goes on. The progress I have made throughout the semester is why I feel I should pass this course. I have learned proper grammar, developing paragraphs, and my incorporation of sources has improved to back up my writing.

If it weren’t impossible, I’d give my two weeks’ notice. Why would I want to quit? Well, I am sure you have thoughts about leaving, when the days are ragging on and it is tough at work, me too. Some of family members don’t work, and I am 57 years old, they younger. Most of my friends have the summer off, I can’t socialize with my friends therefore, just doesn't seem fair. However, here is my dilemma, my writing ideas start to flow at night, and I don’t want stop, I am enjoying the experience, till start falling sleep in my chair, then climb into my bed, another thought popped into my head, and I have to write down, when finally fall to sleep just before my alarm goes off in the morning, I am exhausted, therefore my body is talking back with

In the first two days, I am not accustomed to record my thought and always forgot to write down my idea in the notebook. At night, I recalled what happened in that day and then write down my ideas. After two days, I had grown accustomed to written down my thought when the thought spark me, I found it is a good way to record my idea and remind me to do something. When I checked my notebook, I find I have many ideas every day, but I didn’t notice before. I think it is a good way to recall your thought and help you improve your some unrealistic thought.
