2. When fiction authors write a book it is sometimes mistakenly thought that the author is revealing something about themselves in their writing. This is not always true. The ease of writing about one’s own life is an easy path to follow, because writers are first taught to write about what they know. This should not be a reflection of the fiction or non-fiction being told, it should merely be based upon the conviction of the story and the readers ability to connect to it.
The way I improved my paper was taking my instructors constructive criticism and making the necessary corrections, to the best of my ability. I had obvious problems with the comma usage, dangling modifiers, and it was no question that I have to improve my vocabulary. Referring back to the text book and using the Thesaurus definitely helped me make the best revisions that I can make. The most challenging part of this assignment for me was to expand the use of my vocabulary. I know a lot of words; I just don’t use them in my everyday conversation, thus making it more difficult to incorporate in my essay.
The ambiguity would be the different interpretations that may be based on the premise of helping to do something, which does not specify. The support could be financial contribution, volunteer help in the construction or reconstruction of the altar. Vagueness and ambiguity influence the reader's interpretation because the message is not clear. We do not know if it's a new construction or if it is rebuilt and does not mention whether the aid is just money or need other assistance. The relationship between clear
(Stolley, Brizee, 2010) Citing of sources must be taken very seriously as plagiarism can result in some very strict consequences, sometimes getting dispelled from the university or losing employment and in some cases losing the profession altogether. There have been many cases in which plagiarism results due to sheer lack of knowledge. Though we have seen some pointers in the above paragraph that could avoid the mess. According to the Library Guides, University of Alberta, some of the main reasons why students are victims to plagiarism are as follow: • "Lack of research skills" • "Problems evaluating Internet sources" • "Confusion between plagiarism and paraphasing" • "Careless notetaking" • "Confusion about how to cite sources" • "Misconception of common knowledge", etc (Guide to Plagiarism, 2012). Though avoiding plagiarism seems to look very easy,but due to lack of knowledge of how to present information one can easily fall into the trap.
There are seven obstacles that hinder goal achievement. First, an unclear goal can prevent someone from achieving results. If the subordinates don’t understand what is expected, they cannot attain satisfactory results (Martin, 2009). For example, a teacher who tells her students to complete an essay assignment, but doesn’t state that the assignments goal is paragraph structure; won’t receive many submissions with proper paragraph development. Second, unclear directions can also stunt a projects turnout (Northouse, 2012).
Introduction Writing essay is not easy thing to do. Selecting an appropriate topic, making an outline, organizing every sentences and paragraphs become unity and coherence are not enough to produce an essay inasmuch as writers have to be able to narrate and describe their argument, experience and knowledge in their writing in which it can attract the readers to take a look, enjoy their writing and feel satisfied when they finish reading the essay.

Sarah Watt proves that dishonesty can affect others as well as yourself. It can cause an individual to suppress their emotion which will inevitably lead to larger problems. The text implies that honesty will reveal itself soon enough, but it often forced out at the last possible opportunity. This release of honesty is caused by the characters hidden emotions, but can result in a revelation to begin correcting the problems within their
Jenee Buchwalder Mrs. Leirssano Seminar Advanced English 1, 2 13 April 2010 The Effects of Media with Character Restrictions on the English Language Text messaging abbreviations tend to have a negative connotation to them, based on irritated English teachers who have witnessed various errors due to them. Nonetheless, there have always been people trying to “up the ante” by taking it a step further. Take IMO, for instance. These words have been transformed into IMHO, IMCO, IMHBCO, and IMNSHO (in my humble/considered/humble but considered/not so humble opinion, respectively) (Txtng 53). David Crystal indicates, “This is a form of language play... [the desire to] outdo what has been done before.” This type of minor changes of words are a prime example of the effects of text messaging media on the English language.
These pieces offer the insight to the past, that help explain the often troubled or misinterpreted times that students need to understand what really went on in the past and see what shapes our world today. Many people can tell you what an autobiography is, but do not understand the true meaning behind it. “Self-evaluation, while insightful, is chronically inadequate and often inaccurate, but the true purpose of autobiography somehow escapes this fate — autobiography, the misnomer, frames the self, but its surroundings are what shape it.” The true meaning of an autobiography is how the surroundings change and shape our lives. Also with the surroundings it is how we interpret them that really shapes what we do. If students understand this they will be able to understand the history and the value of autobiographies and memoirs.
The use of figurative languages could be considered a double edged sword when it comes to engaging in productive thinking. While the use of them may seem pertinent at the time, sometimes the meanings of the words are lost on those that are conducting a brainstorming session with you, and force the group to think harder as a whole to try and understand the reasoning behind the use of the word. Below are definitions and examples of figurative languages that could be misconstrued or misunderstood when engaging in productive thinking exercises. An idiom is an expression that cannot be understood from the meanings of its separate words but that has a separate meaning of its own. Idioms exist in every language.
