Queen Anne's Lace, Patricia Z. Cowden

This paper, an assignment for Chris Madden's Writing 105 Class, asked us to write about a time or event which caused us to change our minds about something important to us. I thought that there couldn't be a better change for me to write about than the one that seemed to be culminating at that moment. We were asked to explain and contextualize our original belief, identify how our ideas had changed, and account for the process of re-thinking. Writing Queen Anne's Lace was quite a release, and the experience has left me fascinated with the power of writing to …

Ethics In The Field Of Public Relations, Amy Appleby
Ethics In The Field Of Public Relations, Amy Appleby
Intertext
This essay was the product of Writing Studio 209, a course focusing on rhetoric. However, my interest in the topic was piqued during the prior semester. My p.r. professor delivered a lecture on ethics in the field of public relations; it was this oxymoron that enticed me into researching and proposing a solution to negative connotation that often plagues public relations practitioners.

Autobiography and redundancy are natural associates. Keeping them apart in the act of recalling a life, any life, is no easy task. Given the assignment of imagining my autobiography and writing one of the chapters, I wanted to avoid repeating myself. "Tell me a story." It does not matter that I have lived it before. Telling it again becomes a new act,another page of the story. "Tell me a story," Jane Oberg asked. I thank her for the question.

This task was put before me; to tell of an experience or part of my life that has helped shape my identity. I wanted to make it so you could look past the black lines on this flat page and feel my world; how I touch it and taste it and live it and know it. So here's a trip to my world, taken from my mind, seen through my eyes.

To tell the truth, I had never heard of an "ethnography." I balked at this assignment. Go somewhere, somewhere populated by a certain prototype of people, and write about what they're thinking. This is difficult for someone whose one regret in life is that he isn't someone else. And so, after hours upon hours of sitting at my desk staring at a blank sheet of paper, drops of blood forming on my forehead, I left for my Thanksgiving break where I went to, of all places, Memphis, Tenn. The following "ethnography" is the result of that experience.

The Black Family Structure: A Viable Structure Or A Myth?, Elaine I. Sylvester

My objective for writing this essay on the black family was to examine and interrogate a myriad of stereotypes surrounding this family structure. Slavery and its inception need to be explored because it enables one to acquire a better understanding of the modern day black family. It is my hope that once we achieve this level of understanding, if not acceptance, that we may be able to start the healing process that is so necessary.

Reflecting upon my writing is one of the most difficult tasks I have ever been asked to do. Looking back upon my work, I realize that this is one of the most important papers I have written. Not only was this piece the first paper I have written for a writing studio, it also enabled me to release some of the frustrations I have with my generation.
