Happiness is a concept that is individualistic to each person. Everyone wants to be happy, and they deserve to be happy. Happiness is brought to me by good relationships and surrounding myself with happy people. Good relationships constitute for a good life.

Hailey McRea – One idea that I found intersecting between authors, is the idea that technology and online usage is dividing us. By this, I mean that cell phones and other forms of technological communication, were once used to connect people who could not have face-to-face interactions regularly. This is certainly a positive thing because now, we are able to catch up and stay connected with people even if we are not in the same vicinity as them. However, this…
Hailey McRea – In “Reporting Live from Tomorrow,” the author Daniel Gilbert discusses the idea of society mistaking wealth and materialistic possessions for happiness. I agree with this statement wholly, especially in today’s day and age.

During any writing process, revisions are essential. The two types of revisions that we instituted in our revision process were global and local revisions. We first started out with the global revisions. I had two of my classmates read my essay and even a friend outside my class. It really helped me with the organization and flow of my writing. The first global revision I did was adding more evidence from the authors and speakers we learned about in class….
Option 2: I always enjoy receiving constructive criticism, especially when it comes to my academics. I think it is really important especially in English to receive input from other people. It allows you as a writer to incorporate new ideas and perspectives into your writing and strengthen your writing and your argument you are trying to make. It is also beneficial to have another set of eyes proofread any piece of writing you do to catch any grammatical or organizational…
So far, I have learned a lot about working with quotes and how to effectively integrate them into my pieces of writing. One of most useful tips about working with quotes was thinking about them as a “quotation sandwich” as stated in They Say I Say. This analogy helped me learn how, where, and when to use quotations in my writing. I now know to only use quotes that have strong relevance to my writing, and a quote whose relevance I can…
