Selfishness: The Basis Of Conflict, Lilly M. Barnett

Line by Line: A Journal of Beginning Student Writing

For this essay, we were prompted to discuss themes and characters of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and how those related to John Paul II's ideals of the common good. After careful consideration and research, I came to the understanding that characters Frankenstein were not particularly working toward the common good and therefore revolved my paper around that and supporting facts from Shelley. I also incorporate supporting details from Rebecca Solnit's Ice.

Branding In Today's Society: I Do Care, Kayla A. Flaute

Line by Line: A Journal of Beginning Student Writing

For this assignment, I was required to critique a literary work by Kathleen Norris, a best selling poet and essayist. I chose her essay called "I Don't Care," which outlines that people should not care about what brands they buy. However, I believe there are several reasons for people to care about what brands they buy. That being said, I picked three of the most important reasons why people should care and used these reasons to critique Norris' essay.

The Common Good Frankenstein Textual Analysis And Argument Essay, Julia G. Bonfiglio

Line by Line: A Journal of Beginning Student Writing

My writing process for this particular essay was fairly simple and straightforward. I began by reading the prompt and writing notes on my teacher's specific directions. I then went to the library, where I reviewed my notes and the directions. Next, I began to write a brief rough draft which I later printed and gave to my teacher for review. Finally, I took all of her suggestions for improvement into consideration and completed my essay.

My Tumor, Yvonne Ransel

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

For some strange reason last month, I searched for a Facebook group about "acoustic neuroma." It's an inner ear brain tumor, usually benign, that I had successfully removed more than 30 years ago. "Successful" is a relative term here because it was necessary to sever my auditory, facial and balance nerves on that side of my face. It was a long recovery, I am deaf in that ear, and I'll never be a ballet dancer, but my facial nerve was repaired and I am fine. I had this niggling feeling that I could help in a way that I learned …

Self-Checkout: Another Female Telling Me What To Do, Raymond Reid

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

Because of bar codes, checking out is pretty foolproof these days… and easy. So easy that some stores have self-checkout aisles, where you just scan your own stuff. For some reason, though, all the machines have female voices telling you what to do. That's why I don't use them.

Stick To The List, Cindy Argiento

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

The cashier asked, "Did you get everything you needed?" "Everything and more," I replied. Just once I should go to a store and buy only what's on the list. Once while shopping I found someone else's list. When I read it, I became intrigued by several items and wound up buying things that were strange to me from a stranger's list. I'm convinced it was the store's marketing strategy to leave a random list for an unsuspecting customer like myself to find, causing impulse purchases and increased store profits. Shrewd!
