Expository Writing
I really don't have any idea on where to start this paper, where it should go, and how it should end. It seems that I'm having a slight problem grasping the idea of expository writing. It's like when you were a kid trying to make it all the way across the monkey bars. You want to be able to reach that next rung and you try very hard, but somehow you just can't reach it. I seem to be having that problem. Right now, as I write, I'm not exactly sure I'm reaching the goal of this assignment, but this may be the best that it gets.
All through elementary school, high school, and my freshman year of college, I was taught (and believed it was the only right way) that you must start your paper with a introduction,

I have a hard time concentrating on one thing. My mind always seems to wander from one thought to another. Right now, on this beautiful winter day (almost spring-like it seems), I have to wonder what I'm missing out on in life. The decisions I have made so far in my life has shaped who I will become and what I will accomplish. It is hard to imagine that something I did when I was five could play a major role as to where I am today. Kind of makes a person wonder, don't it?
I am very unclear on what exactly expository writing is all about. I have come to understand theme writing, or should I say themewriting, throughout my life writing experiences. It is all I've ever known. Maybe all I ever want to know, but I guess it's a little late for that. It was what was expected from you by all who read and critiqued your papers. You may have not put anything into the paper that was part of you, but you included all that would explain your point and/or purpose for writing that paper.
What techniques, styles, forms, and etc., can get you past the concept of themewriting? Is there one certain way you can propel yourself past this day to day writing that I have become so accustomed to? Do you accomplish this through clarity, voice, complexity or simplicity, or should it convey a meaning? This seems to be the difficulty that I am facing at this point in time. I feel as though I am uncertain on the steps or set of procedures that I should
Currently in Fairfax County, Virginia access to child care, and being able to afford it are often crucial determinants in deciding if both parent will work. Most families have three options for securing child care. First, parent(s) can stay at home and care for their children. Which is an option that my family and I chose because child care is so expensive we could not afford it nor do we qualify for subsidized child care. Second, parents can pay for child care out of pocket.
Writing is a powerful tool for communication and connection. As an extension and expression of the mind, writing is as much about the mental processes of the author as it is about the final marks laid to paper. As we write, we hold in mind our own thoughts on the work, anticipate the reader’s thoughts, and think both in concrete and abstract ways in order to accomplish the task at hand. Whether an academic research paper, a novel, or text message to friends, writing seeks to engage, persuade, or impress concepts upon an audience. Like language and other art forms in general, the practice of writing is ever-evolving and is subject to cultural and contextual influence, expectations, and conventions. Each writer holds a theory
Everyone can feel, just like you and I, but there's one important question that lingers through the air. Should we really be accepting of other people?
It is a common occurrence for high school students in their senior year to experience declines in motivation and performance; most call it ‘senioritis.’ When students contract seniorits they become lax, neglecting their homework, turning in late papers, and generally losing effort. The majority of seniors continue on to graduate, only to receive a rude awakening once they enter college. While students may be able to graduate from high school without putting in too much hard work, college is indisputably a different story. In the documentary,”The Expos 5,” five college students provided a first hand look into how they learned to navigate the difficulties of expository writing. I related best to Arpan and Yasmeen, but I learned great lessons from all of the students.
Each summary should be 100-150 words in length; making a total word count of 300-450 words in length for this assignment.

You provide details to suport your ideas. It does lack a transition and topic sentence. It takes a line or two before you know you have moved on to a new topic. Writing a paper is a lot like giving directions. Tell the person where they are going and then how to get there. The intro gives the reader context like telling someone "to get to Disney from the airport, you are going to take this route", and transitional sentences between ideas are like telling someone they are about to make a left or right turn from one idea to another. I often suggest, write for your reader. They don't know the context (background information) in your head, so you have to help guide them from idea to idea. Otherwise, they might get

The chapter starts off with a quote by one of the greatest poets, Robert Frost, and he says, “But God's own descent into flesh was meant as a demonstration” (Yancey 127). When I read the whole quote, I was really confused. I did not understand it. The first three lines, however, I could understand. God became human, which could be a demonstration. He took on the form of flesh because he wanted to show the world that the Savior was here to save us. The only way he can save us is if he became one of us. Therefore, God becoming a human could be a demonstration.

Chuck Webster commented in my mentor letter that my Dalloway paper was “like a grown-up version of [my] freshman essays”. I wholly agree. I’m more aware of both my strengths and weaknesses now than I was at the beginning of the year, and the novels we read presented opportunities to develop the former. Yet my writing has not undergone any drastic change, simply matured.
(Technique 1: transitions) The process of writing is not so simple. It takes a lot of effort to bring thoughts from one’s mind to the physical plane that is a piece of paper. One of the more difficult parts to writing is being able to transition from one idea to another. Without proper transitions, writing is just bits and pieces being forced together instead of many thoughts flowing seamlessly from one to another into one conglomerate piece.
