Donna's Response: Once More To The Lake

Among the three essays, “How My Illiterate Grandmother Raised an Educated Black Man” by Terrell Jermaine Starr occupied my mind most. Objectively, it is in part because it was the first essay I read; therefore, it offered me a strong impression comparing to other essays. Subjectively, the story itself was truly interesting and moving. In addition, the title was like both a brief summary and the curiosity trigger.

The main points that she is trying to make is that, to produce a great writing

After reading Mother Tongue by Amy Tan, what stood out to me the most was how Amy would always do her best to help her mother. From making a phone call and speaking to health professionals, she did the best she could to help her mother get out of uncomfortable and frustrating situations. This was a personal essay because Amy Tan used a personal experience involving her life and her mother's life. Tan used ethos, logos, and pathos in her essay. She used ethos because she was identifying herself to the reader.

The question of meaning in life is a problem discussed intensively in different scientific areas such as psychology, philosophy, sociology, and even anthropology. This book by Susan Wolf offers a perspective which approaches the problem from a philosophical point of view. However, her focus is not on the question of the ultimate meaning of human life, as in some previous philosophical works, but on the question of how people seek and maintain meaningful lives. This focus shifts Wolf ’s work more to the psychological point of view, because it does not ask whether the world and human life has a higher purpose; rather, it asks what are the conditions in which a person experiences that his or her life is meaningful? Or, in other words, he or she

Compare and Contrast Essay 2 Throughout a lifetime, there may come a time where a loved one has passed away. Two essays written by two completely different authors, but also alike. The Way to Rainy Mountain, and Once More to the Lake were both two essays who had similar tones about the loss of a loved one and how they had memories relating to that person. Momday’s “The Way to Rainy Mountain” was a story about how he lost his grandmother, and

The first reason on why I chose this essay is because it changes the point of view multiple times throughout the paper. For example, in paragraph 4 and 5 the author explains that at night in the narrow streets of Soho in New York City woman get scared and fear the worst from the author, who is black. From there, the author explains what he thinks and the woman is thinking during the same situation. It draws attention for the reader and keeps the reader’s eyes glued on the paper when reading this. The second reason why I chose this essay is because it is very personal.

Analysis of an Essay Do you ever wonder how a brutal murder victim appears to look their normal selves at their funeral? Well, in Jessica Mitford’s “Behind the Formaldehyde Curtain”, she takes us through the amazing, yet disturbing process called Embalming and Restorative Arts. Mitford is disgusted and completely against it because she thinks it is inhumane, so she goes into illustrative detail by using similes, and a great deal of imagery. Mitford’s purpose of the essay was to gain support in objecting towards embalming, and inform us of the process through graphic detail. She did this using process analysis and telling us step by step.

The first essay I chose to read was called I Am in Dementia Prison with My Mom, Janet had no prior knowledge or understanding as to why her mother’s health, mind, and thought process was deteriorating. She couldn’t come to terms with her mom being mental sick and when she did she had help and support from her entire family. The second was titled Transferring Mom was New, But Restlessness and Inactivity Kindled her Agitation. Against her and he husband better judgment she took her mom to the store. I believe she did this because she did not want to tell her mom no, as a caregiver, especially to a loved one sometime following your intuition and saying no can be difficult

After reading all of the essays I found it interesting how different all of the essays but how similar they were in a way. The three essays were completely different from one another, but something that I found to be related in them all was judgement of others. In every essay there seemed to be someone at one point or another trying to impress someone. "Salvation" Langston felt he had to lie about religion for acceptance, or in "A view from the bridge" a man was judging a boy on his appearance, "A Partial Remembrance of a Puerto Rican childhood" had a few wether it was the little girls Mama judging others in their family or the little girl doing things to not be judged by her grand mom something I seen similar in them all. The essays are also very different though cause of the stories that are told, "Salvation" is about religion, "A Partial Remembrance of a Puerto Rican childhood" is more about the culture they live in, "A view from the bridge" is about human interaction and helping someone out.

Man first exists without a purpose or definition, finds himself in the world and only then, as a reaction to the experience, defines the meaning of life.”. It means at first, man exists, turns up, appears on the scene, and only afterward define himself. We can only define ourselves after we faced a series of challenges. At first, we are nothing but as life goes on, we become something. It is easy to be alive indeed, but living a life is not as easy as that.

Yes, shocker I know. It also explained that in order to create a good essay I have to be passionate about my topic. Sometimes that means making it personal and writing about something you have good insight on. Although it’s a heavy topic, I’ve decided to write about the infamous broken heart. More specifically, how to defuse the overwhelming feelings that come when your heart feels like it’s going to explode.
