Recommended: The role of language communication

Being immortal; that just sounds like science fiction, and totally surreal. Isn’t it interesting, books, even words on paper, can last longer than a human life. It is one way we can pass down our legacy. And hopefully the younger generation will be able to learn from our mistakes. But, that would mean, we’d have to understand how to communicate effectively through our writing. Sadly, putting the ABC’s together to form words, is slightly more difficult than it seems. Unfortunately for me, writing isn’t my passion, rather it feels more of a chore, so I am unsure whether I effectively express myself to others. Even if it is just another task to check off, on my overpacked to-do list, I know I’d be able to enjoy it more if it is related to something …show more content…

I definitely enjoy it impressively, more than I did at the beginning of my high school life. In fact, I believe writing has helped me in my personal life to connect with my junior high school students of Inspire Church as I preach, so they can grasp the concept and teachings of the Lord when I share from my sermon notes and my life examples. As for my future career as a Medical Laboratory Technician, I’ll be using writing, a majority of the time, to write research papers on my data collection. As for this moment, I am hopefully using writing to my advantage to pass my classes that assign reflections or poetry or any other writing assignment. Above all, I believe writing will help me strive to do my best in all that I do, even though it may be tedious and time consuming at times. Writing allows me to have a conversation without voice, and when I do give my words breathe I am able to touch the souls of my audience. And at that moment, I am leaving my imprint on the world. A part of my existence will live on longer than my own body, and take anchor in my audience’s hearts. My legacy is born with writing. So keep dreaming, and keep

    1936 Words  | 4 Pages

    Both 1984 and The Handmaid’s Tale are dystopian novels, however, these books are a lot more complex than mere portrayals of dystopia, it can be argued that they are explorations of dystopia rather than mere portrayals. In order to explore dystopia, many themes must be considered, such as; feminism, love and repression. Nonetheless, it is apparent that human characteristics are the driving point of the two novels, predominantly, the depiction of human resilience. In an imperfect world, it is important to have certain qualities which, if plentiful, it can mean success, whereas if it lacks, it can mean failure, this characteristic is resilience. The protagonists in each novel, Winston in 1984 and Offred in The Handmaid’s Tale face situations which leave them both in disarray, and both even consider suicide. The authors tentatively highlight human resilience, its limits and most importantly its strengths into the two novels.

  • Writing Is Natural Essay

    1993 Words  | 4 Pages

    A construct is a flawed argument based on something that seems natural, but when questioned a realization appears and makes you second guess everything you know on the subject. The topic of whether writing is a natural habit that we are just assumed how to do, is a construct in itself. I believe that there is more than just what writing is presumed to represent and mean. So many factors come into play when learning how to write and the way we write as individuals. Not everyone has the same writing style, so teaching multiple people how to write a certain way can be difficult for English teachers teaching students how to write. The main four factors that impact everyone’s writing is miscellanies information, emotions, learned

  • Creative Writing Essay

    The man’s mouth was set into a creased frown, his eyes lingering over the state of degradation the room had succumbed to. The walls were dark and ashen, the faded green wallpaper peeling off from where it still remained plastered over the cracked wood underneath. There were planks lost here and there among the floor—a perfect trap for the unsuspecting—and no amount of cheep, dirty rug made from polyester that attempted to falsify something akin to fur could provide redemption for it. Dust was rampant in every crook and cranny, which his nose had noticed at once with an insatiable tingle that he couldn’t simply sneeze out. The bed was tacky and plain; a white, yellow-stained mattress without a bed stand, covered by a gray, fumbled sheets and a single, white pillow. The only form of light was a halfway melted candle in a glass jar and a small, cracked window in the corner of the room that was smudged with something indecent.

    I have always had a passion for writing however, I do struggle with it. My weaknesses and strengths are what make my writing style so unique. I struggle with directly writing down my thoughts and feelings. It takes me awhile to develop a good writing flow. Especially if I am not given specific guidelines for the paper. I also have problems with my word choice. Of course, I want my paper to consist of intelligent vocabulary; but I often use words that just do not make sense in the context. Despite my weaknesses I have very many strengths that somewhat balance out my flaws. I have such a creative mind when it comes to writing because I perceive situations in so many different ways. This opens up my choices of exactly how I want to write my paper.

  • Why I Write: The Art of Writing

    1238 Words  | 3 Pages

    George Orwell in his essay “Why I write”, written in 1946 and published in London, addresses the reasons that made him become a writer and eventually sets four main general principles that are the main drive force for every piece of writing. “I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention and my initial concern is to get a hearing.” By showing his inner drive to write he portrays a greater picture about writing as he shows how one writes consciously about what concerns one’s feelings and subconscious thinking. The four main principles of writing that Orwell presents in his essay are sheer egoism, aesthetic enthusiasm, historical impulse and political purpose.

  • Why I am Passionate about Writing

    1056 Words  | 3 Pages

    Writing has always been one of the things that I’m passionate about. Whenever I have something on my mind, I would jot it down or type it in my notes. No matter how small or pathetic it seems, I would always write it down, because you never know when you’re going to go back to it and create something grand, out of inspiration. People would think that a person like me would write down poems or novel ideas. That’s completely true, but I also write down recipes, grocery lists, hate lists and literally anything that comes to my mind. I’m the type of person that does not like to miss anything, forget anything and likes to include everything. People would say I’m a perfectionist or a control freak and as much as I would hate to admit that, it is true. While these traits of mine might hinder my writing process, during this school year I learned how to embrace them.

  • Narrative – My Interests

    I enjoy writing very much. My writing topics and style tend to match my eclecticity, though I enjoy the role of an essayist-poet most of all. I have written many instructional articles, though I have lately stayed away from them due to my over-exercise of that area of writing. I enjoy poetry, and while few poets ever put bread on the table and write substantial amounts of poetry, I am not motivated by anything primarily for money and find poetry an expressive way to communicate things that prose is unable to.
