A Literary Analysis On Conflict In The Brain Tragedy Of Hamlet

1802 Words8 Pages

In English 112 I wrote a variety of pieces, including a multigenre paper on handedness, a literary analysis on conflict in Hamlet, and an argumentative paper as well as a summary and response paper on higher education. I learned numerous different things from each of these papers. This letter will discuss each paper specifically, among other pieces I included in my portfolio. One of these additional works is my IB Biology Internal Assessment. I also put multiple "Helpful Handouts" in my portfolio and I am going to discuss a few of them and how I incorporated them into my writing. My multigenre paper was about handedness and in the paper I discussed how studies have shown that lefties brains function differently than righties. In the brains …show more content…

In my opinion, my literary analysis paper is the best paper I have written. I think this because my thesis statement is so solid and just about everything I discussed in my paper related back to my thesis. It is organized well and I set this up by explaining what I was going to talk about in the rest of my paper in my introduction paragraph. I planned this paper more than I have previous paper so I made sure I discussed everything I wanted to and I was able to structure it how I wanted to. However, to improve my essay I could include more analysis. A weakness of my essay is in a few of my paragraphs I did not explicitly detail some of the conflicts occurring, so it might have been hard for readers to make the connections I want them to. I can improve this in future papers by being more detailed so readers do not get confused. Furthermore, I could use more evidence and quotes from the play specifically to support my claims about the plot. The papers I wrote about higher education discussed how students can get the most out of their pricey college education and how it is on the students, the professors, and the institutions to ensure that graduates are well-prepared for their futures. I argued in my argumentative paper and my summary and response paper that students must truly use their minds and take initiative. Also, one of my points was that professors should engage all students and go the extra mile when necessary and colleges should concentrate most on undergraduate training. Overall, I believe that the discussion of higher education is actually addressing the greater matter of universities needing to focus most on doing one thing best: challenging the minds of young adults so students can get the most out of their college education. I included some of the benefits of pursuing a higher education in my essay as

However, they do a poor job of staying on that task. The authors jump around from side topic to side topic. They talk about how “there is also room for improvement in the financial aid system” (221), why “colleges need to do more to ensure that their students graduate” (221), and more topics that are not related to the stated purpose. These mini rants distract the audience from the main stated purpose. This prevents the audience from focusing on the main purpose and pursue a side topic instead.

Everyone needs to struggle in order to preform better. Writing has always been a strength of mine, but I found it a challenge to move from the high school, six-paragraph essay format that I had grown accustomed to. Throught the course of this semester, I was able to acquire many different skills in ENG 1101 that have helped me transition into more complex writing. These include various writing techniques, MLA formatting, writing for purpose, convincing my arguments and finding and properly using sources. The portfolio I have submitted is comprised of three works of writing that I completed for ENG 1101 over the last three months.

The Main argument the author makes is that both teachers and parents are not taking action. The teachers seem to feel sorry for their students and end up passing them, instead of using tools of negative reinforcement such as failure to determine whether the student should graduate. The parents are not supporting the teachers and may end up doing the work for their kids. The one contradiction I see is on the tenth paragraph where she talks about the students she sees at night living a hard life of unemployment, chemical dependencies, abusive relationships

Beowulf Beowulf is an epic poem written by an unknown Anglo-Saxon somewhere from the 5’th to the 11’th century in England. It tells the story of a hero named Beowulf, who is also the protagonist .

During the Anglo-Saxons rule in England, the lords would gain their subordinates’ trust and loyalty by offering them many gifts, which is why lords in that period of time were also nicknamed the “Ring-Givers”.

In the Tragedy of Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, some of the most significant events are mental or psychological events that make the audience feel and have an emotional connection with the characters. These significant events can be awakenings, discoveries, and changes in consciousness that set off a mental or psychological effect to the readers. The author, Shakespeare, gives these internal events to characters such as Ophelia, Gertrude, and Hamlet throughout the play to give the sense of excitement, suspense, and climax usually associated with external action. Ophelia is the daughter of Polonius and the sister of Laertes who both tell her to stop seeing Hamlet. To Polonius, Ophelia is an eternal virgin who is going to be a dutiful

Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, centers around Hamlet’s contemplation of killing his uncle in order to avenge his father’s death. His decisions and values determine his fate. However, Hamlet’s intended action to avenge his father’s death is continuously postponed due to his moral dilemma. However, this moral dilemma causes him to make the decisions he does, and therefore, demonstrates the theme of his uncertainty versus his faith. Not only does faith stop him from taking alternative routes to achieve his goal, but his uncertainty causes him to either delay his revenge or make the wrong decisions.

I took the time to write out an outline for this essay to help manage the chaos that is my writing, unlike my other essays for the course. As I said before, I have learned to question the structure of my paragraphs. For example: when I was revising the Composing Process essay, I noticed that a set of paragraphs could be rearranged and partially rewritten to improve the structure and make the essay flow better. However, I would argue that my Justification video assignment demonstrates my assertion better than my revised essays. From the beginning, I laid out a clear path that my Justification video needed to follow.

Alaz Kanber İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı 132401005 Shakespeare II Existentialist Problems and Themes in Hamlet Existentialism is a term used for the work of specific 19th and 20th century philosophers who believed that the human subject is in the center of thinking. The human, according to these philosophers, is not a subject only capable of thinking, but also acting, feeling and living as a individual. The existentialist attitude, as the starting point is named in existentialism, is a micro cosmos which is absurd and seems to have no meaning. The lack of meaning in life and the absurdity creates a complicated pattern that is cannot be considered as usual. This means in other words that existentialism transforms your behaviors.
