I think that the media should stop worrying about aspects like religion and ethnicity when they say how great an athlete is, and just focus on the athletes skills in that sport. There are probably not many players in the NBA who have the intelligence of a Jeremy Linn, combined with his skill set and work ethic is an unbeatable combination. It will be interesting to see how Jeremy handles Carmelo and Stats when they...return. I think he will do his part - I hope they learn to play with him as all the other Knick players have. It his mental Team attitude that makes him the player he is.

Naomi Mafeni LCS 121 11/22/94 “Romero: The foil” Pedro Romero is introduced in Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises as a young handsome talented bullfighter who Jake and Brett are completely drawn to. Apart from the fact that Romero is much younger than the other men he has certain other qualities that explain why the others were so intrigued by him and almost inspired. Jake in particular was intrigued by Romero not only because of his unique bullfighting skills but also because of the personal values and morals he possessed. Although Pedro Romero appears briefly in the novel he is the one who stands out from the others Romero is a foil to the other characters. Jake first met Romero at Montoya’s Inn and the reader can see how instantly amazed he was: “He was the best looking boy I had ever seen” (Hemingway, 169) “He’s a good looking kid” (Hemingway, 169) Jake was first of all fascinated by Romero’s appearance and became very excited to see him bullfight.
Before handing out my essay, I had Mr. Smith look my paper over to get his thoughts on how it read. The first thing he said to me was “check your spelling there are a lot of mistakes and you don’t want your peers to think you’re stupid do you?” I didn’t know what to think of this, I thought I had spelled a lot of the words correctly and when I asked him which ones were misspelled, he told me it was my responsibility to figure it out. I didn’t rewrite the paper before handing in out to my classmates and it went horrible wrong. My classmates started to speak out loud about all the spelling mistakes I made and that my essay didn’t make sense. I felt ashamed and embarrassed by what they were saying to me, that was the beginning of my fear of writing.
One lesson Jamal learned was to write with his heart first and revise later with his mind. Though Jamal for some time had been writing in his notebooks, he sat in front of Forrester’s typewriter at first unable to produce. Forrester then gives Jamal a piece of his writing and tells Jamal to type what he sees until his own words and thoughts take over and until he is able to type his own ideas. Seeing Jamal make the transition from Forrester’s work to his own creativity is amazing. Jamal promised that he would not take anything that he wrote out
Fancy words are encouraged to make writings more brilliant. However, fancy words aren’t necessarily better so it is good to know when to use them and when not to use them. Word choice in an essay is essential. Words should be chosen carefully in order to prevent discouraging readers or to make sure they didn’t get what they didn’t
I could relate to Maya as in how he’s really nice and caring, and likes to have fun. This book wasn’t predictable you could never really guess what was coming next and that’s one of the best things about the author. I think Maya wrote the book to entertain people, while showing people that theirs always more in life, and that people should really make the best out of their lives. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy books and voice like the author has. It’s an amazing book and filled with funny enjoyable moments that will leave you reading wondering what’s next.
It isn’t uncommon for the author to rearrange information, alter or remove information to make their point clear; this helps their paper to be more fluid and easy to understand. Checking the mechanics of the paper is done through editing. Spelling, grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure are all looked at while editing.

Finally, in my text I edit by proofreading and seeing if I have any more mistakes. I usually wait for a day to edit. That means I take a rest from my assignment and then come back to it the next day. This helps me edit, because then the next day I will have a clear and understanding mind to see my mistakes without difficulty. When I am done writing, I give my paper to my brother and a best friend to read my
Bad Books are good? There are several lessons that the new readers always get from reading some kinds of books. In his essay, “On Writing,” author Stephen King illustrates his different opinion from reading the books: “Every book you pick up has its own lesson or lessons, and quite often the bad books have more to teach than the good ones” (367). The author believes that reading bad books can take some positive points for the growing writer after he reads a lot of kinds of different books. That issue is the result why he thought like that kind of strange.
