Childhood Is The Kingdom Where
Number of words: 967 - Number of pages: 4.... lines of this poem are very true. "Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age the child is grown and puts away childish things" (1,2). I think what Edna is trying to express is that when you reach a particular age you don't just start being an adult. Being an adult is not something you just wake up one day an decide to be.

Personal Writing: College
Number of words: 502 - Number of pages: 2.... to that, I
was subject to separation from < > college. Well, now a decision really
had to be made; it was time for me to make a choice.
My parents told me to think about other colleges and to think
about other things to do instead of college, but I knew that < > was
right for me. They often suggested that I go to community college for a
semester or two and make sure that I was doing something that I wanted to

in high school to take some extra courses, and I truly detested the place.
I really did not want to go any .....

The Filipino Americans
Number of words: 148 - Number of pages: 1.... California's fruit and vegetable fields. Hard work and little pay was the common denominator of their American experience; many were the subjects of racial prejudice and even mob violence.

Writing Process
Number of words: 586 - Number of pages: 3.... “The most effective way I know to improve your writing is to do free writing exercises regularly” (Elbow 62). Because I am not one to write in a journal everyday, I cannot personally agree or disagree with his comment. I do believe that the more you write, the better you become. I do see that people who write often also do better in their English classes. Elbow also says, “The main thing is that a freewriting must never be evaluated in any way; in fact there must be no discussion at all” (Elbow 63). I don’t agree with him.

Number of words: 1016 - Number of pages: 4.... also think

Number of words: 465 - Number of pages: 2.... snore. Nothing short of taped evidence is enough to convince them, and in some cases it's not. It almost appears that snorer's have a genetic trait to deny their snoring. A comparison of their sleeping habit to a forest being clear-cut is always taken too personally. Your heroic suppression of your desire to smother the snorer's sleeping form is never taken with the deserved appreciation. The frustration is enough to grab your pillow and smother the snorer for their stubbornness.
