“We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.” ― Mother Teresa
Peer Review #3 I thought Owen’s paper was very well thought out. He provided many ideas about how narratives shape who we are and impact how we engage in our lives. There are some places that he could add on to or change to really make the paper flow well. For instance, his conclusion can Read More …
I feel like there are many points in our lives that we could agree that we are one or the other. I feel like as we grow and change our viewpoints change. Therefore, we may feel like we are a “Narrative” at some points and not at others. I think it all has to come Read More …
Julie Beck, who wrote Life’s Stories about how sorting your life’s points into a narrative shapes who you are, quoted Jonathan Gottschall when she said, “Even if we are, as the writer Jonathan Gottschall put it, “storytelling animals,” what does that mean from one person to the next?” I feel like the actual meaning of Read More …
This is a little part of an essay I had to write for another class, Freedom and Authority. The yellow highlights are transitions, the orange is pointing term, the blue highlights are repetitive words. I see that I use the same words over and over again. I believe that if I would go back and Read More …

John Lehrer argues that there should be a combination of art and science to further our understanding and knowledge we have today. Combining art and science will open up new meanings and clear some things up. This “fourth culture” will allow people to find new ways of thinking to open up more doors to the Read More …
I feel like I am achieving my annotation goals because I am looking at text a little more critically, instead of just reading through. For example, when I annotated Yo-Yo Ma’s article, “Necessary Edges: Arts, Empathy, and Education.” The surrounding context for this essay is as follows; the author is Yo-Yo Ma and his article Read More …
My first draft went a little like what Anne Lombatt described, I did not know where I was going it was really messy and confusing. Plus, I would type random stuff down hoping it would make sense in the end. I could really tell that she has been writing for a long time because she Read More …
Global vs. Local Edits I found it somewhat difficult not to pay too much attention to the fine details that could make someone’s paper even the slightest bit better. Every time that I found myself critiquing the small grammatical errors, I had to tell myself to stop and look at the bigger picture of the Read More …
