My second major essay for English Composition I was the Community Observation paper. which was turned in on Halloween of 2014. In this one, we had to go around the local community of Tahlequah, OK and find something to write about. I chose the NSU Theatre Company, which is the college's theatrical company which has a Playhouse just off campus in downtown Tahlequah.
Even if you are not living in that area, I still suggest you go check out your local theatrical company, they work very hard to put on a great show, and many times raise money for local charities.
I ended up getting a 97 on this one. I had a few run on sentences. I actually went back and edited this one a bit after her comments, because I gave it to the NSUTC's coordinator, Dr. Robyn Pursley, whom I interviewed for the paper. My teacher's comment at the end was, "Good work! You present engaging material supported with evidence."
A Brainless Nod is a blog about love and life, passionately written using articles, poetry, and serial web fiction. We are Dan and Lisa, and we both enjoy writing immensely. We hope you enjoy this look at our passions, our life together, and our opinions. Posts are sporadic due to us entering college, but expect new stuff every now and then!

How Reading and Writing Showed Me How to Live
As part of my time in college, I took English Composition I and had to write a few essays. Three of them were a major part of my grade. The first essay was the Personal Narrative Essay which was turned in on Sept. 10th. 2014.
I ended up getting a 98 out of 100 on it. The final comment said, "Your essay provides ample everyday imagery and detail to fully address the prompt. Your ideas are complete and engaging. Watch out for sentence fragments and grammar."
Anyways, many people wanted to read it for themselves, so here it is, I hope you enjoy it!

Free Write 05
Now that I've gone and aced my English Composition I class I've decided to share some of the selections of writing that I had to do in it. Every Monday morning we had to pull out a sheet of paper and free write an essay over some subject or another for part of the participation grade. Of course I didn't put dates on any of them so I don't know in what order they are, or when some of them were, but here is the last one I'm sharing.
Not sure exactly what we were asked to write about on this one, but I obviously wrote about how high school kills the joy of reading and writing, along with a great number of other things. It was one of the basis's of my final paper.

Apparently this particular one was about argumentation. Every time I think about the word argumentation, this is the gist of what I think about:

Every Monday morning we had to pull out a sheet of paper and free write an essay over some subject or another for part of the participation grade. Here is another one with a date, amazingly enough. 12/1/14.
In this third free write I'm sharing, we were to write about our Thanksgiving. Man, thanksgiving 2014 was a rough one.... Unfortunately I didn't really have time to make it as long as I wanted to, as so much went crazy...but I did the best I could. I hope you enjoy this one!
