Writing Feedback / About A New Education Essay [8]

When you write, "I do not imply that it is wrong to believe in the power of math, but that, had we another system of explaining natural phenomenon which revealed more of nature, then why would we not want to learn more about that," it helped me to overcome a misconception about your essay. I think you are talking about something that is like the sudden enlightenment that can come from overcoming rational thought.

The enlightenment traditions are based on this. Zen practitioners meditate on a nonsense riddle (koan) in order to get beyond rational thought.

Eco-feminism is also related to this. Some feminists point out that rationality is part of what leads to aggression, destruction, the depletion of resources, and so forth. Men have been rational in their ambition -- because ambition is rational -- but as you implied there is more to life than rationality. There is something to be said for sensitivity in a world being destroyed by ambitious, rational people.

So rather than being trapped in that enclosure you write about, we consider the idea that there is more to life than what is within the scope of mathematics (what is rational).

You write about profound subject matter. I think the way to improve your writing might be to lower your standards for the reader. Use the first sentence of each paragraph to express an idea very simply, and use the whole paragraph for that single idea. This is how you can get the reader to actually receive the meaning you intend when you write about complex subject matter.

Yu start a paragraph talking about memories:
We have memories of places...
And it ends with:
This was the greater force for our lives turning out as they did and where we found ourselves, and also what we took up in our minds to accomplish.

I can understand it now after spending some time and seeing this whole thread, but this material is still difficult reading material to understand.

There is nothing wrong with that, unless you want to really persuade people of something. In order to persuade people, you have to make things easy to follow. It helps if you write each paragraph with the same method used in advertising: say it, explain it, say it again.

Graduate / Leading: "your greatest talents and/or abilities" Applying for an MBA [3]

When I reflect upon my life's accomplishments and challenges I am able to visualize my greatest talents and abilities that could enhance the experience of my classmates. This is way too wordy. How about something like this;

When I reflect upon my talents and abilities, I think of my communication skills, leadership qualities, and enjoyment of new challenges.

... qualities which consist of being a good decision-maker, assuming mistakes and listening... Should this be, 'avoiding mistakes'?

Challenges in life keep us alive; keep us...

Writing Feedback / Experience is the best teacher - THE RELATIVE VALUES OF EXPERIENTIAL AND ACADEMIC LEARNING [3]

You can travel to the most underdeveloped societies, lacking any form of school or academic institution, and you will find that old school teacher - experience - busy at work, as he has been for ages.

Some of the simplest and most important lessons of all can only...I just changed the order of the words because it seems to flow better.

And experience had been a good teacher, in shaping the Soldier Grant into the General Grant. But the shoes of the presidency had some laces which Grant had never thought about, much less experienced. Experience, like any teacher has it's shortcomings.This is great!

Through reading and formal education we can benefit from the experience and views of thousands of contributors. Last year my wife was diagnosed with Lyme Disease.

I had only met three or four people with the disease. They say "Knowledge is power", and I sure lacked the power to even start on the road to helping my wife ...

... but also because by studying and reading I was able to glean information from thousands of people who had knowledge on the subject.

Your last paragraph is especially good!

Undergraduate / "boot camp for the United States Coast Guard" - Peace Corp Essay #2 [2]

Your essay is coming along fine, but here are a few things I found;
Some would assume I am referring to the yelling done by the company commanders, or the strictly controlled schedule.

This certainly was a shock, but my statement is concerning the experience of being introduced to roughly a hundred new individuals from different...

After getting over my amazement of the different accents that the corners of America had produced, I began to develop friendships with people with whom I had previously held regional stereotypes.

That was the easy part. The more difficult situations were learning to work alongside individuals I did not see eye to eye with.

However, I learned that being thrust into a new situation with different individuals that are working toward a common goal tends to build relationships.This is great!

In some instances these relationships have become more permanent, because they are not based solely upon personal compatibilities, but on mutual respect.

The most important thing that this experience has taught me is that, despite subtle differences, people are generally the same.

Good luck in the Peace Corps!

This explains why keen and frequent inspection and execution by the government is always needed to match with an ideal city planning.

Therefore, from now on, we should be more aware of it and contribute a little every da y to improve the air quality.

Writing Feedback / Term Paper: Sailor Mentality [3]

human beings don't dare venture out into the mysterious blue mass we call the sea.

This is a strange way to start, because humans do indeed venture out into it.

Thesis statement: ...the protagonists of each book all share similar qualities of self-determination, self reliance, and a shared attachment to the sea, qualities that together are unique to sailors, separating them from society (no comma necessary here) and making it possible for them to achieve what most people cannot.

This is a good thesis statement, though it is not very "arguable." That is, not many people would disagree with it, so it is not as meaningful as it could be. Obviously this is a well-written paper, but the thesis statement could be more controversial and bolder. :-)

One other criticism I could give is that it might be beter with more comparison and contrast of the works with one another for deep analysis. You give great examples, but examples are superficial compared to deeply analytical comparative analysis.

Great job! Good luck

To my great surprise, everyone was wearing extravagant costumes; every eye was on me, intimidating, despising, with fierce looks penetrated on me.

Silence gave me a chance to reflect on some precious moments in my life.----- this is such a great way to transition into backstory! Great job.

I know that this is tough one to grasp; to be defeated in a competition or even to say good bye to a lover can tear my heart apart, and it could cause anger to myself and to the world, with sadness, depression, resentment and other emotional pain. Then again, I viewed every situation I would be in as an opportunity for my growth and self-mastery.

Poetry / Poem on 5 senses (dream theme) [11]

I don't think you need a comma after crowds.

Ice cream is 2 separate words.

Dream, like the...
Melody, the ...
My best friend, (and what if you had more words in this line? would that be good for building tension?)

I like the way it starts with 1 syllable (dream) and then 3 (melody) and then 3 as separate words (my best friend.)

What is the frie? I like the rhythm of this a lot, but it is hard to understand at the end. I don't think been is the right word.

Book Reports / An essay about, the inequality amongst genders, based on 2 narratives-feedback [2]

The novel, "Blindness" also expresses the horrifying sexual exploitation the main character, the doctor's wife experiences by the blind men in the mental asylum.This sentence is unclear. Is the doctors wife the main character?

They imposed force on them and gave them no choice but to visit the blind hoodlums and lose their pride.

In the novel, the blind women were also implied force(does not make sense)... and discriminated against, by the people in the mental asylum, which was similar to the behavior the women in the film experienced.

One of the things that make this comparison meaningful, is the difference between when women spoke up for themselves and when they did not. You should spend a little time discussing this difference in the first and last paragraph.

In conclusion, both narratives have many similarities and differences in the way the protagonist was sexually mistreated, the type of unfair laws that were impliedimposed on the women and the possession of power between the two genders.

Undergraduate / JHU essay. Globalization esaay. [3]

I choose to pursue international studies because I have come to treasure diversity because of experiences that have provoked and challenged my narrow worldview.

Having lived in four different countries, and having gone to ten different schools, I have naturally interacted...

I observed how others dealt with particular situations , and I continually compared...

Because diversity provided the opportunity to search for the best approach not just by myself, but with others, I began to treasure diversity even more.

Within the international community, the diversity is abundant.
