Personally, I fight my own internal enemies day after day, one being, the resentment and anger of having to put my grandmother into a nursing home. These feelings are equal to both sides as for me, I, as a grandchild should not be handling this life altering situation but if I hadn’t done what was right, she may be dead today. I had to weigh my options: let the tide roll and see where it goes, or step up and take her away to a safe, but unhappy place. As human nature, I think we almost always choose the option where life can be continued whether or not we or they are happy with it. This seems to show to me that we are slightly
“For though I'm small, I know many things, and my body is an endless eye through which, unfortunately, I see everything.”- Gloria Fuertes We are born learning. Those lessons learned in one’s youth are the most difficult and the most influential. In Jesmyn Ward’s novel, Salvage the Bones, Ward illustrates that wisdom does not necessarily come with age. The mistakes that Esch makes leaves her vulnerable to disappointment and suffering at a time in her life when she should be enjoying no responsibilities and not having to make life altering decisions. Although Esch eventually achieves wisdom after the hurricane, she pays a substantial price for having lived her life blindly.
11 December 2014 Drowning in the Discourse Julie Wildhaber says that “A strong, well-defined voice is the bridge between you and your audience: It helps your readers understand who you are, and it helps you engage them” (Wildhaber). For students in college, their audience will always be their professor. Along with expecting a strong voice, professors expect students, even first year students, to master and employ the many other writing skills that make up academic discourse. Most students tend to prioritize the more technical conventions of writing over the development of a distinguished and personalized voice. The conventions of college writing are very complex and if professors are more helpful and patient with first year students as they learn academic discourse, students will be better prepared for all future academic endeavors and they will have a better opportunity to strengthen and develop their voice.
I have written recreationally for years and usually enjoy the freedom to choose topic, theme, event, and character. Outside my carefully constructed written world, my confident, professional engineer mother makes most major decisions, and I’m content with giving her the power and quiescently awaiting her instructions. I’m not uncomfortable with the situation, because it’s familiar. Every battle, every struggle of one power against another, has at its heart a need for independence. A nation asserts the right to govern itself, just as my mother and I will inevitably butt heads.
It also has a very defined thesis statement at the beginning "Online courses are an excellent way for busy professionals to gain advanced training and certifications or switch career paths. They can also be very effective for first-time job seekers who need specialized training. However, before signing up, here are a few factors that can ensure an online student's success." It easily caught my attention to continue reading and also let me know what I am getting into before actually starting reading the essay; I call it a "Sneak Peak". In "A Soul as Free as the Air: About Lucy Stone" I felt this was a character study which focuses on a specific person of interest.
