In English 1102 students will learn many different techniques throughout the course to understand and compose an analysis on an array of topics. After the course is over it is up to the students to apply what they have learned to everyday life. Many students throughout this course have questioned why they have to learn this material and that it will not even help them in the real world, but they are wrong. Each and everyday people should look at the deeper meaning and analyze situations very carefully or else one may find themselves being deceived. Being able to analyze is a very important skill no matter what career choice you choose. In this course the material assigned also had many life lessons in them. A great example of a reading assignment

. What narrative structure does the author use to tell the story? John Boyne uses imagery in his book.

Richard Van Camp's, The Lesser Blessed, contains elements that classify the novel with both Indigenous and Modern genres. Featuring both genres in a text can lead to contradicting themes that form a binary. This binary has the potential to limit the extent readers can connect to the story, suggesting the presence of a barrier. Barriers hinder the readers' lack of understanding or relatability to either Indigenous or Modern works of literature. This paper will serve to analyze how Richard Van Camp deconstructs the binary by having the sides work together rather than against one another. Furthermore, this paper will discuss how by breaking down the binary, Richard Van Camp is allowing his novel to be accessible to all readers.

The one technique I am not understanding is the using simple coloring to help solve sudoku puzzles. From my understanding, one does not even use colors; rather, the colors are inferred. I somewhat understand the use of pluses and minuses because they creates “chain.” For example, there’s one plus that’s in the same row as a minus, and then that minus is in the same column as a plus and so on, except I’m not understanding where the plus in square f1 (in figure 12) came from, except that it might have something to do with the minus that is in the same grid (def123) as it. I’m not understanding why all the pluses and minuses in the figure are reliant on whether or not there is a one in f1. Then the author asked us to change all the pluses and minuses into black and white square, and I’m not sure that makes any difference or makes solving the puzzle any easier. Now the author is asking us to suppose the solution of a candidate in a square, and then it states that this candidate can occur outside the chain, and now I’m not understanding why we were creating the chain if it didn’t help us determine definite candidates.

In Chapter 8 it talked mostly, in my opinion talked about group work. One of the things the chapter brought up was about conversations with customers and how important it is to both designers and customers.

It was so important in my job to talk to customers because, we not only wanted customers to buy products, but we also wanted them to have a great experience.

In Marjane Satrapi's word-specific panel about refugees fleeing north on page 89, she indicates the perilous situation of the war through taxis escaping flaming iconography. The bombing of border towns in the Iran-Iraq war forces residents to abandon their homes and belongings in the hope of finding refuge in the northern cities. The foreboding, chaotic scene underscores a period of turmoil in Iranian history. The words of the panel state, “After Abadan, every border town was targeted by bombers. Most of the people living in those areas had to flee northward, far away from the Iraqi missiles.” Satrapi sets the backdrop of warfare with intense, slightly militaristic words such as “targeted,” “flee,” and “far away”. This being a word-specific panel, the graphic

The text, Writing on Demand: Best Practices and Strategies for Success is designed specifically for teachers by teachers.
