Book Reports / A play called "The Rove" (Angelica is the classic jealous woman only?) [3]

Her gain of money encourages her to become equal with men, which in this current society is unacceptable, and rebellious.

What you mean by "this current society" is unclear. Do you mean to refer to her contemporary society? Also, the comma after unacceptable should be removed.

Right here, a colon would be better than a comma: Angelica threatens Willmore for his actions to prove once again that she cannot be messed with: "One thou hast...

This essay is so good!! I cannot criticize it much, because it is high quality writing. Maybe in some places you use more words than necessary, though... for example:

Due to the Angelica's behavior it seems as if she Angelica commits herself to becoming better than everyone else. ---With the words I eliminated, you are given more room to say something meaningful with this sentence.

Anyway, you did very well, and the MLA is good. I think you could improve the essay by digging deeper and making the thesis statement MORE complex.

Writing Feedback / GRE AW issue 131 The arts reveal the otherwise hidden ideas and impulses of a society [3]

... so complex that arts still have its limits. --I had to cross that out so it would have good grammar.

The long river of history sees how the works of arts art mirror the real but hidden ideas of human societies. ---Good sentence

In such kind of society, arts may not reveal the real hidden ideas but instead mislead people to some extent.---You write so well that I cannot make many corrections, but I just give my little ideas, like in this sentence.

When you have more than one adjective in a row, use a comma: ... the real, hidden soul of society mixed with ...

Again, treat "arts" as plural, because it is plural:
After all, arts will ever belongs belong to...
Or you can make it singular:
After all, art will ever belong to...

Undergraduate / An interest in Neuroscience or Philosophy - Transfer essay (grammer, content, tone) [4]

I see so many of those qualities in myself as I take this long road to success. Like many other students, I applied to a school and did not get accepted. let's take these sentence right out of that first paragraph... it will be much better without them. I can see it objectively, and I see that you will make a better impression if you just take these sentences out.

I really think there is no need to mention not getting accepted.

Your interests are fascinating subjects!! Let's not say OR... say AND. That is the real truth. Of course you will use both philosophy and neuroscience if you go into neuroscience... but what do you want to DO every day when you are working after college?

that ten year years ago...

I'm the eagle when it comes down to something and how determine I am that requires determination.

I cannot help but go for it. ---I like this sentence.

Most of the things I want are hard to get unless you have the opportunities. I want take an internship opportunity at Anderson Cooper 360 or science research center. --Should this be capitalized? Also, if you want to work for AC360 give a good reason why... cite some accomplishments.. for example, his recent trip to Egypt...

I have the mind of someone like Oprah.---Here at the end, you also have to mention the eagle again. :-)

I try to argue that Cloning is not a disaster because of its benefits.

Well... the question is about whether or not it can be a disaster. The question is not about whether it has benefits. However, you did make a good point!

Undergraduate / "A person of two worlds" - Common app Transfer Essay [6]

This lesson would come in handy when I realize realized that I would have to venture out of my comfort zone to fulfill my dream of being an actuary. ----- I did not notice this error the first time! :-)

No, I do not think it is too much. But always remember that when you give information, you make the reader work; when you give action verbs and imagery words, you make an experience for the reader to enjoy. So limit the info and maximize the experience.

Undergraduate / "A person of two worlds" - Common app Transfer Essay [6]

Even though I was just three then, my mother decided she wouldn't send me to those classes again, as she believed I didn't have the passion for it, regardless of how many times I pleaded with her later on.

Hey, this looks very strong. I especially like this part:
I like that Stern, unlike many universities, choose to focus on the financial aspect of Actuarial Science, rather than the calculations alone, because the application of those theories in the real world would be clearer. ---I am not knowledgeable enough about the school or this subject to assess the truth of your observation here, but if it is true it really shows that you have given this deep consideration.

I do not like the first sentence of the second paragraph. You had just said something about being an actuary, but then the first sentence of the second paragraph does an abrupt subject change. You can ADD a sentence to the beginning of that paragraph, and let it include the word actuary. That'l make a nice transition.

The location that encompasses NYU is a plus factor, because it is home to many insurance companies. The abundant summer internships available are a chance for me to gain insight into the inner workings of the competitive industry.---This is not useful unless you show that you already have some places in mind. Then it becomes very impressive! Show that you are already making plans.

Undergraduate / What is your contribution to your community and why would you require financial aid ? [4]

Well, i'll tell you what I think is the most important thing. You need to show how enthusiastic and idealistic you are, how motivated you are. You need to show the reader that you are reading and working hard to become an expert in your fields of interest. Therefore, when they ask what you contributed you should tell them ENCOURAGEMENT. You should use it as an opportunity to reinforce to the reader how committed and driven you are. If you contributed encouragement to everyone involved in your efforts associated with the interests you will be pursuing now, that will be very impressive!

Writing Feedback / The causes of IMMIGRATION: social reasons, politic reasons and economic reasons. [4]

Another great point to think about is that you do not usually need to use "the" when you talk about immigration. You can talk about the planet, the sky, or the road, but other words do not need "the," including: Immigration, water, freedom, parenthood....

It is hard to explain why, so you have to read a lot to get the good habits.

And I want to work on this sentence, too:
Also, those countries cannot provide jobs for all the people, especially for the younger people that are considered as new comers to the job market, where they shocked when they discover that there aren't enough jobs for them. Therefore, their decision will surely be to travel abroad or to immigrate definitively.

Undergraduate / "improving people's lives with computers" - Computer Engineering - Michigan [4]

You can say you want to take an interest in science to the next level, but do not say "interest in computer."
You have to use an s with computer.

I dream to take my interest in computers to the next level and develop ideas that can improve people's lives with computers.
However, if you write computer science, you do not need to add an s:
... my interest in computer science to the next..."

To make my dream into become reality, I know ...

You wrote this very well. I am impressed by your knowledge. You can use it when you write application letters: Use your knowledge to cite some books or articles you have read. Also, it is obvious that comp sci is changing so much that you cannot really predict your future. So, as you write essays for college, write in ways that reflect the fact that you are ALREADY a practitioner in this field, and you are adding to what you know and do. You are no longer a kid, and you are ready instead to assert yourself as someone contributing to your field and improving people's lives with computers.

Writing Feedback / Students have to study a wide range of subjects, even the ones they don't like. [3]

Here is a great way to improve the first part.
Students are going to school to gain knowledge, and the more subjects to which students are exposed, the greater the knowledge gain will be.

Expects Experts say adults usually underestimate the capabilities of brains. bairns .---I made many changes for you here.

Students are in a period of competing with each other on everything.

Hey, this is quite interesting. It is a little obvious, but the prompt calls for some statements of the obvious. Yet, the real "counter-argument" is from people who would tell you that this modern age is an age of specialization and that to give students an edge we should enable them to focus on their special areas of interest and not waste time with the other subjects. I do not think that is true, but in your essay you should give a paragraph to address that argument and show why it is wrong.

Book Reports / King Lear Paragraph - Forming a good topic sentence? [4]

Hi George, great question. You seem to have a pretty good sentence here already, so I suspect that you are getting thwarted by something else.

Look:
Lear's riotous entourage of a hundred knights clearly disrupted the sanctity of Goneril's castle so her decision to dismiss half of Lear train was good justification.

The only change I need to suggest is for you to change the end.... it should say well-justified instead of good justification. "Justification" is the excuse for doing something.

But this only enables you to write one paragraph. After writing this topic sentence, you will write a paragraph with examples or a quote, etc,. but then you will need to give another point of justification and write body para #2. After that, perhaps you should write a paragraph to "refute the counter-argument." Google that.

Poetry / Another Sunday morning [5]

Punctuate that ending with an explanation mark! I mean... not exclamation... ha ha, I am malfunctioning. I really liked your poem, and it put me in a cool state of mind. But punctuate the reader's experience with a question mark at the end. That is what I was trying to say. I don't know if you deliberately chose not to use the question mark at the ned, but I think it would make the ending more poignant.

Thanks for hosting a great experience!

Also: can you find a clever new version of the common expression, "What's the point of it all?" When a cliche appears, it can be great, like it is here, but you can also use a clever variation. A play on the words.

You have such a nice way of leading the reader along... very good, eloquent use of language.

Ha ha, this is so good... if the AO does not accept you, it must be because of some kind of terrible misunderstanding. If that happens, let me know! I'll drive to Providence and straighten it out.

Two ideas:

The present tense... I think is always powerful. The third person perspective... maybe... yes, I think I would feel okay about it.

but I wanted it to sound similar to a study on a test subject...

Great idea... I think I can imagine what you mean.

Even third person present could be great.

What are you trying to do in life that is meaningful and requires an education in this program? Show that you chose this program as the result of a lot of proactive reading about your chosen field.

I think doing this as all one long paragraph makes it confusing... Use paragraph breaks.

Also, the reference to the kind of dreamer you are not makes it confusing.I think you should get to the point more quickly. Also, I think you can make it so that this is about more than just watching films. You can cite some recent articles about cinema and maybe even make a connection between it and your visual art and design interests.

But wait a minute... is this considered visual art? Seems like it should be.

Most importantly, I think you should get rid of that first line, because it is really a cliche and unworthy of your great observations here.

As my excitement for journalism grew, my interest in practical application became paramount.

Hmmm.. my first thought was that you could do better with this last line of the first paragraph. But then I settled into it and appreciated what you are doing. It is right for you to highlight this great, proactive effort you made... and the steps you took for practical application.

Here, maybe you can do this: After six marathon-like weeks of study, I concluded ...---ha ha, maybe I am wrong, actually. With your essya, I for some reason lack confidence in any ideas I have!

You made a strong case. With your great writing skill, I'm surprised you had trouble with the GPA.

My best advice is like this: Add a sentence to the end of the intro para and the conclusion para, both of which express some clear goals in your envisioned future. Show the reader that you know precisely what you intend to do and why. That really motivates the reader to feel emotionally invested in your success.

The first sentence is no good! :-) It is too obvious. I am happy to have this opportunity to emphasize to you the importance of giving a first sentence that is the MOST interesting sentence the reader has seen all day.

Do no tcapitalize high school unless you are naming the school: In high school I was ...

Do not capitalize unnecessarily: through my college career.

I'm sorry, I don't like the ending. You need to express your plan, your aspiration. A person without a plan cannot achieve much unless it is accidental. A person who makes a plan will express it in an essay like this. I think you can use that counselor's lack of confidence in you as a theme, but within the essay you MUST share with the reader a detailed plan. :-) Share some short term goals.

It is a lot of big words that express something rather simple. You want to have meaningful work in collaboration with good people. It is more powerful to express strong ideas in ordinary language.

Doctorate studies will give me the opportunity to concentrate and allocate more time and energy on my research intention in order to achieve a comprehensive knowledge and experience for future positions both as a professor and professional architect.

In fact, for ideas, google this: How to write a business plan

Do something like that, and you will have an advantage.

Next, you need to show need. As part of your "business plan" (Which must be based on a career of interest to you), you should show HOW your next few years will be if you get the scholarship and HOW it will be if you do not. Show that you need the scholarship in order to achieve your short term goals as planned.

:-) Good luck!

I maneuvered the ball right into John's goalpost without hesitations hesitation. John was shocked at my roughness, however, it was only expressed on his face. For the next few goals, I intentionally banged body-checked him for several times. At In the last two minutes, I deliberately pushed him...

...did not have the courage to apologize to him...---This is such a powerful story!! You have a little bit of work to do to make your English perfect, but the story is great.
