April 5, 2013 History 1010 Primary Source Ibn Battuta on Mali This source was written by Ibn Battuta, who was a Moroccan traveler around 1304 to 1369. This is a novel of Battuta’s travels, and was meant to read to anyone. The primary source talks about a village in Taghaza, and his experiences in the village. He spoke of their customs and how the treated their women, which was a shock to him. I used the oxford reference to Battuta, Ibn to help me understand this source.
The essay will explain both tales with the meanings or morals of the stories. Both tales set the characters status and represent different and similar scenarios of love and marriage.

Not through its clarity, but through its richness. Indeed, until the nineteenth century, it was a language of moralists, lawyers and diplomats: ‘A language of good manners and courtesy’. Senghor, a man who was born in Senegal, “attended the local Catholic Mission School. At seventeen he went to the Catholic Seminary at Dakar and later attended Sorbonne University in Paris” He was a man that was introduced to the language not through trade but through education. He at an early age saw the European economy and language, and felt the need to encourage this in his home town in Senegal.
Most generally, I noticed an ADN had exceptional hands on skill levels and a BSN needed more instruction. This is based on BSN coming right out of the four year program. Like I said this has been my own personal experience. Taking an ADN who then goes on to the bachelor-degree program may be another aspect to consider all together. As far as critical thinking goes, all of the tests and research done was inconclusive and inconsistent when comparing the ADN and BSN skill levels.
My writing skills are something I will have to work hard on to improve. When I write anything it generally has to be a necessity. So when I do write, I generally compose a rough draft. I proof read it several times checking my grammar, spelling, and punctuation. I find it difficult to convey what I would like to say when writing.
James Black Position Paper 1 AP English Word Count: 565 Creation Stories Similarities Every story has a beginning; but how often is this part viewed as the most important? What most people don’t realize is that the beginning of the story can mean everything. This sets up the basis of what the story is about, what the main conflict is, who the main characters are, and how to solve their problem. There are three creation stories that I’ve read and in them I’ve found some very similar characteristics. They are named “The World on the Turtle’s Back”, “Genesis”, and “The Metamorphoses”.
For many years, it was common for a leader of a nation to possess a certain amount of competence in terms of linguistic ability. It is a feature seen in great leaders from ancient times, our modern era and all history in between. It simply is a necessary skill to appeal to the masses one attempts to lead, and to negotiate with rival nations. This is why I personally believed that someone with a narrow vocabulary and inadequate grammar knowledge could never achieve a political position of power such as, for example, the American presidency. You could say my vision on this shattered a year ago, when Donald Trump was elected as 45th president of the United States.
Abidemi Atanda Period 4 Tuesday, November 19,2013 Task; Critical Lens Essay English/ Ms. Harris Life is the greatest gift of all. However, life has different stages, which come along with various obstacles. In the words of Langston Hughes, “Life ain’t no crystal stair.” George Moore reaffirms that with his quote that says “The difficulty of life is the choice’. In addition to the problems we face in life, decision making is included. Contemplating on a decision is hard, but, making the decision is even harder.
English 10 Due: Friday, January 24 Atkinson Memoir Reading So far, you have done some memory writing and read three memoirs: "Salvation", "The Inheritance of Tools", and "Cut". Given the work with your own memory and the readings that you have done to this point, answer the following questions with several sentences each: 1. We know that our memories are faulty. Our brain is guilty of often filling in details that we may not be entirely accurate and can even shape the memory to what we want it to be much more than what it actually was. Are all portions of a memoir, narrative, or biography or autobiography true?
To build the characters in the story, I pulled a lot from personal experience. Kelsie’s father is nearly a carbon copy of my own; indeed, the lines he speaks are verbatim of what my father (also named James) has told my siblings and I. In this manner, I somewhat wrote myself into the story in the position of Kelsie. At the conclusion, it was difficult to write her death, even though I knew that was how my story must end that it might elicit the response I was seeking from the
