my favorite technique

This semester I learned a lot of new writing techniques. The books that were assigned are the perfect books to assign to any English class, I felt prepared. The year started off with the class reading “They Say I Say”. In this book, I learned from the templates that were given. My vocabulary expanded and so did the expressions I used during my writing. Being assigned this book so early in the semester laid out a foundation for me to write my future papers. Going into college, I was not so confident about the quality of the papers I was going to write.  I did not feel prepared because of the lack of education in my high school. After reading this book I felt caught up and on the same level as everyone else in the class. Even after writing my papers, I had another guide to look at, “The Pocket Style Manual.” This improved my writing skills when writing “Works Cited” pages. Having these books has helped me look back and make sure my work in correct. Overall, I realized that I like having a book as a guide to do my work and it is my favorite. It ensures that I am accurate and that I can have confidence in my work. Without either book, my work would have been a total disaster. I would have not known how to do certain things, or I would have been completely overwhelmed.

levels

After reading through a few chapters, I wasn’t really too sure what to write about. One chapter about women stuck out to me. The title of the chapter was called, ”Women are not the peaceful creatures you think”. It goes on and on about examples that reassure the reader that women are way more superior then men in many ways. Although this may be true in a mental aspect it may not be true in a physical aspect. However, if I were to write a paper on this, how could I come up with three pages to write about this topic? I would have to write my paper in the microcosmic and macrocosmic levels. If I were to look at this topic from the microcosmic level I would probably write about how in female organisms there are certain hormones that create territorial mindsets in their brains. This causes females to be pretentious, evil and sometimes murderous according to The Lucifer Principle. I could give different examples of what organisms does this.  I also could state theories of why scientists think this happens.  All of these exemplars could represent the microcosmic levels. After writing about this I would begin to look at it from a bigger perspective, the macrocosmic level. I could compare females and males and the different things they do to show that they are superior. I would research why they would want to be superior and what positive things they gain from doing so. By finding reputable sources and journals I will be able to accomplish a quality paper.
