Compare And Contrast Mla And Apa
Also, many professors only teach us MLA style, but this class can teach us two types of essay,
MLA and APA. I think that's great because APA also is popular, it's useful for us to know these
two types of essays. And from this class, I also learned that when we are writing causal
assignment, the most important reason should list at the last of all reasons rather than at the first
position. At last, I have some suggestions about REVEL. I tried to do the quiz on the revel but the
website said the quiz has not been assigned. However, I used it on my society class in the first
semester. So I have some thoughts about it. Frankly, I don't think revel suits for our class, especially
the quiz. The quiz always focuses on the contents in the text book,

Comparison Essay: College Writing Vs. High School
After reading those two articles, I think college writing is totally different from high school
writing; we need to put much more effort on developing our research, thinking and writing skills.
In college writing, we will use tools like academic writing situation to help us in creating papers.
And we must be responsible for all assignments and works in order to be successful. It is not
difficult to write, but writing with professional vocabulary and correct format with our own fresh
thoughts is challenging. As Strong said, "Writing is thinking.", there is no perfect first draft, as long
as we rewrite with consistent thinking, we will be a qualified college writer.

A Comparison Of Mark Twain And Mark Twain
Nelson Mandela once said, " Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change
the world." As the world grew, Mark Twain and Langston Hughes became writers, poets, and so on.
With the knowledge that Hughes and Twain had, they made impacts on the world. However, the
ability that these two men had allowed them to be motivational historical figures. Still today, their
works and ideas for writing are still helpful to other writers. As writers, these two had fluent and
intellectual minds, they did not give up. So therefore, with Twain and Hughes being such prominent
figures with immaculate writing capabilities, their masterpieces can be compared.
Twain said, "...it is good to begin life poor; it is good to begin life rich–these are wholesome; but to
begin it prospectively rich! The man who has not experienced it [poverty] cannot imagine the curse
of it" ("Mark Twain Fun Facts" 2). As life started for Twain, he went through many obstacles. In
addition, Mark Twain started writing short stories that evolved over time. Not all people in the
world have the most wealthiest lifestyle, Twain, on the other hand, was born 2 months premature
and also had to deal with poor health for ten years of his life. Mark Twain had no one to turn to for
inspiration or motivation. Twain left school to become a printer's apprentice("Mark Twain
Biography"2). Not to mention, Mark Twain wrote in a manner that society could relate. For most of
his life up until he was an adult

Everyday Use Compare And Contrast Essay
In " Everyday Use" by Alice Walker, two sisters name Maggie and Dee are described through the
eyes of their mother. Although Maggie and Dee are both sisters, they are different in how they
talk to their Mother, dress, talk, act, and approach different situations. They have a totally
different personality, apperance, learning style, and their heritage. This shows and explains how
so they are different from each other. Maggie can be chill about her sister, but more often is
intimidated of the things Dee does does and says, and so will she to other people. Maggie is calm
and doesn't care about what people say to or about her on the other hand Dee is more of a public girl
and cares about how people see her.
SECTION HEADER
Maggie and Dee have two different minds so therefore they say different things and do different
things. Maggie is the one who is intimidated a lot while on the other hand hesitation was not apart
of Dee nature. Maggie's and Dee's appearance make them think different of themselves. Maggie is
the type of person that is always at home because she has few friends to hang out with and do other
things. Dee is the type of person that is outgoing and likes to talk go out and do different things.
Maggie's and Dee's way to...show more content...
Dee is the more popular prettier girl that cares all about herself and how life turns out for her.
Maggie cares more about her heritage and family culture. You know she cares by not changing her
name and respecting and trying to make use of the quilt rather than have it laying around for
decorations as Dee wanted to do with the quilt. There were some major differences between
Maggie and Dee and how they care about their family. At the end of the day I really understand
where both of them are coming. Maggie wants to be like her mother and she understands the tough
times their family is going through, but Dee wants to make sure everything in her life is

Comparing Email Vs. Traditional Letters
When compared on format, time and cost it is proven that emailing is more efficient than
traditional letters. In today's generation it is very rare for people to write traditional letters to each
other. This generation is becoming known for its quick and a technology based world. Emailing is
quick and simple and always at the tip of the fingers. Unlike emailing, traditional letters take time.
Emails are more commonly used than letters. This is because emails can be sent and received within
minutes. It is a much faster form of communication than a letter. In addition to the speed, an email
can be sent/received, emails can also be saved onto flash drives or directly on the computer.
Furthermore, with the new technology out today, many...show more content...
If someone is to write a more formal email you would start off by addressing the person by their
name and then get into the body of the email by replying to the purpose of the message. Most
emails are sent just for a quick reply.
Often times businesses use emails to communicate to other businesses, especially when dealing
with transactions. Having a record of when you talked to a person (email timestamps) is a
definitive way to make sure people hold up to their end of the deal. Businesses may also use emails
to share important documents with one another, you are able to attach a file and then you can share
any document you need to.
Communication through email is also able to cut down people's eco footprint. Using the internet to
share thoughts, documents, or have conversations cuts down the need for trees to be cut down.
When using an email, the only thing you need is the person's email address. Emails are not as
trustworthy as traditional letters however.
Traditional letters have a stronger trust behind them as most are hand delivered from door to door.
Often times with the capability to have a tracking number. Also like email, Traditional letters have
more of a formal format. Traditional letters usually start out with addressing the person in formal
way such as "Dear ... ", "Greetings ... ", "Good Morning/Evening/Afternoon", and etc.
A handwritten letter is seen as a more personal form of communication mainly because the

Short Story And Song Comparison Essay
The story and the song used in this comparison are "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest
Hemingway and "Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson. Both of them deal with hope and strong urge of
motivation. However, they deal with it in a distinctive yet a very similar way. This essay will
convey the main settings, plots, and themes differences between the two pieces.
One of the major differences in the two pieces is the setting and the effect of this difference. In the
story, and according to Santiago's relationship with nature, "the old man and the sea" the events are
happening in the rural area beside a sea "The old man lives in a shack made of bud–shields of royal
palm..." (Pg. 15) this describes the fisherman's house and limiting the theme. Meanwhile, the song
"Stronger" is in a more general and open setting in which it sends a theme that could be applied to
all life–sort–obstacles. This difference in settings is essential since it affects the theme either
making it too general, or too specific, even though the sea is used as a symbol representing "life".
The plots of the story and the song are completely distinctive. The story is about an old, lonely, and
humble fisherman who is having hard times fishing in the sea. Purposely,...show more content...
If you overcome them, then basically, you become stronger. For instance, in "Stronger" Kelly
demonstrates a few examples of obstacles from life, that are relatable "Doesn't mean I'm over
cause you're gone" (line 16) and tells us that they are experiences in which we learn and get wiser
from. This is similar to the story "the old man and the sea" in which the fisherman is motivating
him every day to try harder and continue hoping. Basically, if the obstacles put you down, you've
basically made no growth or progress. But if it doesn't kill you, you've grown

Compare And Contrast Two Places
Compare & Contrast Essay
Imagine two places where you could choose with the outcome of receiving new life experiences.
You could choose two places that have different settings, where you could visit for vacation or
simply choose to live there depending on your decision. But which of these places would you
choose? It could be so difficult to decide. Each place have their own environment that has its pro's
and con's along with it. Many of you may be asking yourself "What places could the narrator be
talking about?" Pretty funny how I can relate to your thoughts, the two places we have come too, to
listen to their seminaries & differences are the lovely two states named Florida & North Carolina
located in the United States of America.

North Carolina is home for a famous NFL team known as the North Carolina panthers, along with
famous attractions such as the Nascar hall of fame. It's mainly known for land, along with small
towns. North Carolina has a different surrounding as of Florida. North Carolina has a very
historical event where the actual Wright Brother's officially flew a plane, outside the outer banks
by popular beaches. North Carolina, has great college's too choose from for example you have
Duke University, North Carolina State University that provide excellent educational plans to
study for a major of your future careers. Here's the fact the minimum wage for North Carolina is
way less then Florida currently they're providing $7.25 while in Florida they provide $8.05. Sure
Eighty five cent's sounds small but it's a big difference. Along with economic differences. The
main differences between Florida & North Carolina is considered an always hot environment
while in north Carolina is different, mainly seasonal changes occur, Experiencing all of the
changes in your surroundings. If you're looking for a more satisfying place to live in, it depends
on your taste but if you'd like to experience many things I'd recommend Florida as I listed the
reasons before by experiencing certain aspects such as the state provides more

Differences Between Speech And Writing
Language is a unique and universal tool that we use to interact, communicate and convey ideas to
each other. It is an integral part of our culture, that helps construct an identity while also empowering
each person with the ability to express themselves. Language is described as being voluntary,
symbolic and systematic. These key factors contribute to the two main expressions of language being
speech and writing. Speech has existed since the dawn of humanity, whereas writing is thought to
have been around for a maximum of 8000 years, Gee & Hayes (2011). Although speech and writing
are the main modes of language, both are not always used. Speech and writing serve different
purposes and can be understood by examining important differences between the two. The purpose of
this report is to outline the differences between speech and writing in different contexts.
The Functions of Speech
Speech is the oral form of language and communication, thought to have dated back to the earliest
days of mankind. Oral communication consists of functions such as phonics, syntax, semantics and
pragmatics (Gee & Hayes, 2011). Social relationships, personal opinions and attitudes, are expressed
through speech, via the prosodic functions of English (Gee & Hayes, 2011). This form of
communication is referred to as face–to–face interaction, during this time, the speaker may begin to
use gestures and facial expressions to assist in conveying a message (Crystal, 2005). During speech,
the speaker may

A Comparison of Two Advertisements
Advertising is a way of publicizing a product that you want to sell. There are many of different
things to advertise, such as clothes, shoes, cars, watches etc. Advertising promotes the latest goods
that are out in the shops. Advertising effects me everyday because every time I see a advertisement
it attracts me to the product and I think about buying it or saving up to buy it.
In this assignment, I will be talking about two different car advertisements; one car advertisement, the
Fiat Stilo advert comes from FHM magazine, a publication aimed at young men aged sixteen and
over. The other car, the Rover Streetwise advert comes from the Radio Times which is...show more
content...
The Rover streetwise advert has pictures of daily life things such as coffee, donuts, a football,
children's Wellingtons boots and a shopping trolley with groceries inside the trolley. This
indicates that the car is a family car and is aimed at married women mainly but can also be used
by a family man to drive to and from work. The slogan for the advert "shrugs of life's little
challenges" is related to the pictures for example the child's muddy Wellington boot. The donut
would represent the father who is hungry on the way home or to work, the shopping trolley
would represent that the car is useful for a family shopping spree. The advert also uses the word
'Bump' which is saying that even if a heavy load is in the car it can still go over speed bumps. I
like the way the advert creates an image of characters in the readers mind, although you cannot
see a physical person (image) but the pictures imply their existence. For example, like when I saw
the picture of the Wellingtons, an image of a little boy was the first thing I thought of. The advert
tells stories of different family lives because each picture relates to many things in everyday life.
I wouldn't buy this car because it's Rover, and I don't like rovers I don't think they are good quality
cars. However the way this car is designed is nice, it is an attractive car and I wouldn't mind driving
it. I appreciate this

Comparing My Writings Of My Personal Writings
As I have considered how to approach this essay, I thought it would be best to compare two of my
writings for each example. Providing two quotes for each example will be most effective in showing
the progression I've made. Kind of a "before and after" take on this essay.
Example 1: Introduction
" Everyone likes him. How can I blame them? What wasn't there to like? But, I didn't like him...I
love him. He is one of my best friends and has been one of my heroes ever since I can remember. I
have taken a lot of advice from him over the years, but there is one piece of advice I will never
forget."
"...Chinese confidence skyrocketed in their own country. Due to this confidence boost, the Chinese
have become a world superpower economically,...show more content...
America is not their only option in foreign trade."
I chose these two snippets because they effectively demonstrate the difference in how the confidence
in my writing has increased. With the second piece, I was assertive, I did not speak in passive voice;
it was very direct. I chose also chose this because it demonstrates the progression from the body of
my essays specifically.
I've come to find that my writing has progressed from very emotionally filled with lots of fluff, to
very informative with lots of evidence to back up what I've said. As I'm going into Political Science,
feeling does have a part to play, but what you say doesn't mean anything if you can't back it up. So
it really depends on what kind of writing you're doing, whether it be a research paper, biography, or
a newspaper column. Although, I do feel that my writing is taking the turn it needs to for the
profession I'm wanting to pursue. It may not be what was wanted in this class or what seems
interesting to most, but it is exactly what I need for my future. So in that way, my writing has
progressed. These two quotes show this difference clearly.
Example 3: Conclusion
" I will change the world, one person at a

Books vs Ebooks Essay
Now days with the rise of digital technology many physical items such as pen and paper are
slowly being replaced by computers and smart phones. But is this really a good thing? I read
books and of course so do many other people in this class and around the globe. But since the
creation of 'e–readers' more and more people have been converting to the technology based side of
reading. Although technology is slowly becoming more predominant in this era we should not rely
on it to always entertain and keep us occupied.
I think 'real, physical' books are better than e–books because you can truly own a book. As Mortimer
J. Adler, a popular author, says, 'Full ownership comes only when you have made [the book] a part
of yourself, and the best...show more content...
Of course that's not strictly true–you can loan your book by loaning your reading device, but that's
like giving someone access to one of your books by loaning them an entire library, book cases and
all.
And books are a tactile experience, meaning they are supposed to be experienced through touch
and smell (especially for the old books). A book is meant to be an experience that can have
depressions and elevations on the cover and text, feeling the weight of the pages as you turn them
and all of these elements when combined make a book what it is, but when you read an e–book you
are exposed to digitized text and a screen. And it's been proven that when people are exposed to
screens of TVs or computers they are less likely to have a good night sleep. On a web poll about
e–books vs. books one person commented, 'I've tried reading a few e–books but I've always given
up. I just don't like looking at digitized text when I'm reading a novel. I like the feel, the weight and
even the smell of books,' many of the following comments made by others agreed with this persons
thoughts.
A book is a single–task item that is written to distract the reader from everything else happening
around them, they are technology designed for the best possible reading experience. An e–reader,
however, tends to be a multi–tasking item with the ability to play music and videos as well as hold
books. The iPad has a reading function but the focus is

Compare and Contrast Essay of Two Neighborhood
Patricia Brown
Ellen Beckford
English 1101
13 February 2013
Two Neighborhoods
The convenience of living in an urban or suburban neighborhood can be appealing to many people.
Choosing between areas can sometimes be overwhelming for some individual. People are not only
concerned about the safety of a community, but they are also concerned about the environment.
Although some neighborhoods might look attractive, people should consider the expense that comes
with it, and how commuting will affect them in the long run. Nevertheless, both neighborhoods have
their specific advantages and disadvantages. When choosing between an urban or suburban
neighborhood, it is important for people to research the community, the expense, and convenience
...show more content...
Another key point is commuting. People who live in the urban community have better access to
public transportation. Citizens can easily get around by walking, taking a bus, and riding the train at
a lower cost. In contrast, owning a home in suburb can be costly for many people. Not only do
people have to keep up with their mortgages, but they sometimes have to pay a yard maintenance fee
and their Home Owners Association (HOA) dues for the up–keeping of the neighborhood which can
be very costly. Besides the home cost, people who live in suburban neighborhoods do have the
convenience of traveling in the comfort of their own vehicle, and they do not deal with the concerns
of public transportation. However, they still have to deal with the cost for long commuting and the
wear and tear of the vehicle.
Living in the inner–city and suburban neighborhood can be challenging and beneficial for some
individuals, especially for career opportunity. Many people who live in the urban communities have
a better advantage in finding a job of their choice. Most corporations are located in the inner–city
which makes it easier for people to find a job. Despite the job opportunities in the inner–city, many
of these corporations do not provide parking for their employee which makes it difficult for many
individuals. On the other hand, employment in the suburb is very limited and many of the
professional jobs are

Compare And Contrast Traditional Teaching Styles
No teachers are similar as well as no students learn in the same way. Every teacher has their own
unique teaching style which is based on their educational philosophy, their classroom's demographic,
what subject area they teach, and the school's mission statement. Up until now, teachers are looking
for a system that will engage students in the educational process and will develop the students'
critical thinking skills. Moreover, teachers want the classroom to be in order and in control, but they
also want their students to appreciate the learning procedure. These teaching styles can be divided
into two approaches – the teacher–centered and learner–centered.
Traditional teaching styles use teacher–centered approach. It includes a teacher that stands at the
front and tells students step by step instructions. The teacher decides what is learned, when it is
learned, how it is learned, and how learning is evaluated. In a nutshell, the teacher is an information
giver and evaluator. The students are just there to learn through lessons and direct instructions. Their
attention is mainly focused on passing tests, assessments, and evaluations.
Through the years, many successful people have came from the traditional setting. The earliest
recorded occurrence of education proved that people learned in a...show more content...
Students are placed in the responsibility of their own learning and understanding while the teachers
encourage students to be more independent and more exploratory. The teachers will foster a sense
of autonomy in the learning process as they act as a source of experiences. In addition, as the
students watch their teacher makes mistakes, they will learn those failures are part of the learning
process. The students will soon realize that mistakes are natural in life and it will serve as stepping
stones to

Compare And Contrast Two Friends
We all have friends that are alike or different from each other. My friend Nicole and Amy are also
friends. Both of them are alike in some ways, but at the same time unlike from each other. For
example, they both dress to their comfort, but the clothes they choose to wear are different. They
both have similar taste in music and television shows. However, Nicole and Amy are more
different than alike. Nicole and Amy have different appearance and style. Nicole is five feet and
two inches with medium brown wavy hair that is shoulder length. She has big eyes and also
freckles on her face. Nicole tends to dress very casually. For an instant, she would wear jean with a
graphic tee or a blouse and navy blue classic vans. She occasionally keeps up with the latest fashion
trend. On the other hand, Amy is just 5 feet tall with...show more content...
Nicole's personality is super shy and, quiet when it comes to new people or people she rarely
talks to. However, when it comes to people she likes and enjoys talking to, she is a social butterfly.
Amy was never in any a team sport. However, she plays tennis with her cousins for fun. Amy is
really sociable and blunt at the same time. I remember a time during lunch there was a table across
from us were talking super loud and she shout "shut up". Amy is not afraid to speak her mind while
Nicole is more shy and quiet. Nicole cannot stand watching gory, horror and supernatural movie. For
example, during summer, our friend, Julie, invited Nicole, Amy, and Iwatch Green Inferno. Nicole
did not want to come along due to the fact that when she watched the trailer of that movie she
found it super gory and disgusting. However, Amy did not find that trailer gory and disgusting and
came long to watch the movie with us. Amy enjoys watching horror or supernatural movie or
shows. For example, during the month of October, there was a movie call Crimson Peak and Amy
wanted to watch it while Nicole did not want

Cultural Comparison Paper
Cultural Comparison Paper There are many cultural differences between the United States and
France. Some of these are simply social and others are cultural. Hofstede's Value Dimensions can be
used to highlight the differences between the cultures. Individualism vs collectivism, uncertainty
avoidance, masculinity/femininity, power distance, and long–term vs short–term orientation are all
characteristics that differ between France and the United States. In Communications Between
Cultures individualism and collectivism are described by researchers as "self–orientation versus
collective orientation as one of the basic pattern variables that determine human action." These
differences can be found in family life, school, and workplace...show more content...
The cultures prefer as few rules as possible. Typically, people in these cultures don't easily express
their emotions. Hofstede uses the words masculinity and femininity to refer to the degree to which
masculine or feminine traits are valued or revealed (Samovar, Porter and McDaniel). The United
States rates as a moderately masculine. Countries that favor masculinity stress equity, competition,
and performance(Yates). They also strive for material success and expected to respect whatever is
big, strong, and fast. France values femininity and stress equality, solidarity, and quality of work life
(Yates). A feminine worldview maintains that men can assume nurturing roles while promoting
sexual equality. One major difference in masculine/feminine cultures is the role of the woman in the
workplace and at home. Feminine societies expect women to work and often provide the necessary
social support systems. Although the United States is more masculine than France both countries
treat females as equals. Power distance describes the distance between power and the members of a
particular culture. France has a higher power distance than the United States. Gudykunst describes
countries with a high power distance as, "Individuals who accept power as part of society. As such
superiors consider their subordinates to be different from themselves and vice
