Student Prompts
What is a book that has made you think or changed your mind?
There were two books that I have read that have really made me think about my life and others during the times of slavery and the segregation. Those two books were To Kill a Mockingbird and Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry.
These books really made me think about how colored people during that time period must have felt and treated. As I read To Kill a Mockingbird, I took Scout's advise and really tried to stand in other people's shoes and walk around in them. As I read Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry, I realized the fear that they had. Both of these magnificent novels really made me think about others during this hash time period.
My Visit to the Writing Center
I went to the writing center to get suggestions on my literary analysis on the short story, "At Sea" by Guy de Maupassant. My writing fellow Mrs. Spaht helped me tremendously. She expressed to me that I needed better transitions as well as better sentence structure. I completely agreed with her about the revisions that I would need to improve my literary analysis.
First, she told me to read the story out loud to her so she could suggest revisions. She said to highlight the errors that I found as I read. This helped me a lot because I could put the sentences in my own words as I read. The thing I liked most about my visit to the Writing Center was that she gave me suggestions, not demands to help revise my paper.
