1. Expository Writing Class If only there was a class that focused on nothing but writing, and not just any style of writing, but MLA format and other writing skills. Wait there is, expository writing. Expository writing is a one semester long course, that focuses on the learning from the mistakes of an individual's works of writing and practices MLA format. The beginning the semester started off with, what I can only describe as death threats, of reasons I should leave this class. The beginning few days of class were very new to me as MLA format was being reintroduced. Overall this class was worth my time, hard work and has better prepared me for future writing. This was the only class I have experienced that had students warning me not to take it, because of the time consuming essays and difficultness of the class. I have overall found it to be a normal class, with the usual class expectations. For me the class time was spent being productive and useful. Working outside of class was only a few hours, but time consuming, like I was warned. In my opinion the warning notes were completely unnecessary,...show more content... Whether it was spelling, using proper grammar or expanding my vocabulary. I am so proud of myself for finally taking a class that is totally and fully about writing. This has made a beneficial impact on my writing and I hope it will continue to develop into well structured pieces of writing. The mini lessons about grammar use or punctuation has greatly helped me. The last time a lesson in grammar was taught to me was in elementary school, and having reminders like those really help. A lot of things are assumed that I already know, in reality it has been years since I have used or learned the rules to some structures in a sentence. That is why, I believe, language art classes should improve on giving lessons, like grammar, to help me and other students use words ...Get more content on HelpWriting.Net...

Love has an infinite number of definitions, which vary from one person to another. Love cannot be measured by any physical means.

The speaker loves her husband so much that she is willing to meet him no matter what the distance between them might be. Love is the constant care and affection that is needed to flourish and bloom into great beauty. Love is the commitment that two people share. Jarold Ramsey's poem "The Tally Stick" is a great example of the commitment that two people share. The speaker says, "Here from the start, from our first days, look: / I have carved our lives in secret on this stick" (1–2). Starting with their marriage, the first notch is "Near the butt, this intricate notch where the grains / converge and join: it is our wedding" (6–7). The couple uses the stick as a symbol of their love for each other. The stick symbolizes how committed they are in their relationship. Love is a commitment one makes to put someone's wishes, desires and needs above all. What if the husband or wife became ill or cannot take care of him or herself anymore? Or perhaps the spouse got orders to go to Iraq, or maybe the spouse got a job offer in another state. What will happen to the life that is shared? Does the spouse give up and move on? No! The spouse's love and commitment will keep them together even if they are far away, or moving to another state, or becomes ill. Because love is unconditional, spouses can endure all hardships that cross their path. Love is an infatuation between two people and the desire to be desired.

7. Expository Writing Essay Expository Writing I really don't have any idea on where to start this paper, where it should go, and how it should end. It seems that I'm having a slight problem grasping the idea of expository writing. It's like when you were a kid trying to make it all the way across the monkey bars. You want to be able to reach that next rung and you try very hard, but somehow you just can't reach it. I seem to be having that problem. Right now, as I write, I'm not exactly sure I'm reaching the goal of this assignment, but this may be the best that it gets. All through elementary school, high school, and my freshman year of college, I was taught (and believed it was the only right way) that you must start your paper with a introduction,...show more content... I have a hard time concentrating on one thing. My mind always seems to wander from one thought to another. Right now, on this beautiful winter day (almost spring–like it seems), I have to wonder what I'm missing out on in life. The decisions I have made so far in my life has shaped who I will become and what I will accomplish. It is hard to imagine that something I did when I was five could play a major role as to where I am today. Kind of makes a person wonder, don't it? I am very unclear on what exactly expository writing is all about. I have come to understand theme writing, or should I say themewriting, throughout my life writing experiences. It is all I've ever known. Maybe all I ever want to know, but I guess it's a little late for that. It was what was expected from you by all who read and critiqued your papers. You may have not put anything into the paper that was part of you, but you included all that would explain your point and/or purpose for writing that paper. What techniques, styles, forms, and etc., can get you past the concept of themewriting? Is there one certain way you can propel yourself past this day to day writing that I have become so accustomed to? Do you accomplish this through clarity, voice, complexity or simplicity, or should it convey a meaning? This seems to be the difficulty that I am facing at this point in time. I feel as though I am uncertain on the steps or set of procedures that I should ...Get more content on HelpWriting.Net...
