Reflection of ENG 160 class

A four-page reflective essay that is a written reflection on your progress across the semester as a writer of college-level academic prose. Some questions to consider:

How did the course readings, class discussions, and writing exercises influence your approach to each assignment? How did you find your subject matter for each project? In choosing paper topics, did you attempt to make connections to course readings, the subject matter of other courses, or your long-term educational or professional goals?

What sort of efforts did you make to understand the genre you were being asked to write in? How did the genre of each project determine your language choices, tone, and organization? How did the source material you used influence the ways in which you approached genre conventions? As you wrote or revised, did you ever make a conscious choice to resist the conventions of the genre you were working in? If so, why?

Consequences. What are the potential consequences of your writing? Can you connect the ideas you developed in your writing projects to an on-going public conversation outside the classroom? Could your writing change people’s minds about an important issue? If given the opportunity, how might you share the ideas developed in your writing projects?

So what? Why does becoming a stronger writer matter to you? What are some of the most significant lessons from the course that you will be taking into your future academic, personal, and/or professional life?

How is this nutritional issue and the role of the Brookers as caregivers to their renters symbolic of other themes in his book, such as how the intellectual class see the country’s need for Socialism to improve the life of the poor?

/in /by

For our second critical analysis paper, you have two options to pick from. The format and page requirements are the same as the first paper– 6 pages, double-spaced, size 12 font.

  1. The Industrial Revolution is thought to have improved the material standard of living for most people in Britain (by lowering the cost of basic staples like food and clothing and raising wages) when compared to pre-industrial Britain when most people worked in agriculture and made the majority of the products they used themselves often at great cost in terms of time and labor.

In lowering the cost of basic products through more efficient mass production, the Industrial Revolution also created a life for workers both inside and outside the mills and factories that Orwell describes in his book as miserable.

Given the tradeoffs inherent in industrial production, take a position where you argue either for or against (or for a some balance between the two) economic development that raises material standard of living (by lowering cost of living) but does so through work that some find dehumanizing.

  1. In the first chapter, Orwell described the meals provided by the Brookers to their lodgers. These meals were non-nutritious and in no way sated a man’s hunger.

How is this nutritional issue and the role of the Brookers as caregivers to their renters symbolic of other themes in his book, such as how the intellectual class see the country’s need for Socialism to improve the life of the poor?
