Sample Essays
Sample 1: Critical Essay - Full Draft
Title: “Critical Essay”
This essay was for the purpose of differentiating the bias in articles and whether the
coverage in the news was enough for the world. I believe that this helped me write my
essay with more details and trying to write what the readers want to see.
Sample 2: Reflecting on your Profile Experience
Title: “Profile”
Writing a profile has taught me a different genre of writing. It was a unique experience
for me and I enjoyed my time doing so. It was interesting and I learned new stories about
my dad's past life that I have never heard of which shocked me. I can write a better story
from someone else's story better than my own; for example, my father's story which is
way more interesting than the stories I have. I would enjoy writing more profiles in the
future so I can get a new learning experience. I accomplished a new writing style that I
can incorporate in my future writing which will be useful.
Supporting Documents

Hong-Jones 2
I used this exercise to observe the patterns in the articles I was reading in New York
Times and learned to differentiate the patterns in each article.
Document 2: Sentence Exercise on Using Semi-Colons, Colons, and Commas
I believe that this was one of the most important activities that I have done in this English
course, although it may seem simple it has helped me out a lot and I learned how to use it
correctly.
Document 3: Thinking about Subcultures
This taught me the importance of subcultures and I was really interested in this topic
because I discovered subcultures I have not known about, I believe this was important in
a real-life form of socialization.
Document 4: Recognizing Patterns in your Research
This taught me the importance of recognizing patterns in research and helped me realize
the importance of including these types of patterns in my essays or research to help them
become more interesting or evidential to read.
Document 5: Thinking about suspending judgement
These prewriting exercises have helped me learn that you can perform and offer credible
research when writing an essay without suspending judgment. When doing research, I
believe it is important to come in open-minded and predominantly state factual
information about the topic.
