23. Composition Patterns: Personal Essay The Personal essay. In a way, all essays are personal essays. They allowed.Be sure to review, also, the section on The Narrative essay. http://webster.commnet.edu/grammar/composition/personal.htm

The Personal Essay In a way, all essays are personal essays. They represent what you think, what you feel, about a given topic. They represent your effort (the word essay comes from the French essayer , which means to try ) to communicate those thoughts and feelings to others. In the purely personal essay, however, there is no effort to objectify those thoughts, there is no concealment that this is your opinion; no standing behind any mask of objectivity is permitted, no embarrassment is allowed. Be sure to review, also, the section on The Narrative Essay . Narrative and personal essays have much in common. We have included several sample essays in the Narrative Essay section. The personal essay is often a free-wheeling device of self-expression. If you ever want to experiment with prose and with loosened structure, this is where you can do it. (If you're writing for a grade, though, make sure you understand what your instructor is looking for before you get too crazy!) You will probably want to use quoted language in your personal essay. There is nothing like the "heard voice" to create the impression that this is real. Your readers are going along, reading your prose on the paper, and then they see someone saying "This is great stuff!" and they not only read and see, they hear The Guide to Grammar and Writing contains a brief section on Quotation Marks to help you. Review that section and take the quizzes on quotation marks before using quoted language in your own prose.

Musical Patterns "An essay on patterns and groups of transformations in musical composition."Category Arts Music Composers Contemporary Integral Serialism......An essay on patterns in musical composition transformations, mathematical groups,and the nature of musical substance. Music Page Referenced Pages on this Site http://graham.main.nc.us/~bhammel/MUSIC/compose.html

An essay on patterns in musical composition transformations, mathematical groups, and the nature of musical substance. Music Page Referenced Pages on this Site Edgar Varese once gave a definition of music as "organized sound", and this seems like a good place to start, more because of what information such a definition does not give than for what it does give. The definition is somewhat satisfying because it seems to embrace practically anything that is called music, that anyone could conceive of as music and further certainly anything that might be called music in the future. On the other hand it is unsatisfying because there are no clues in the definition as to how music is constructed. On mulling Varese's definition over, the first question that comes to mind is a compound one: what is organization, how is the sound organized? I'll try to consider an answer to that question by starting with the most historically primitive musical notions and moving through increasing complexities to complexities of modern atonal music. Here, I mean "atonal" in its technical sense, not in it's gutter sense of harsh and "dissonant". Undoubtedly, the most primitive musical percept is that of

27. First-Year Composition: Essay One Your 56 page essay should Help readers see what is at stake in the issue. (For example, look through Author 1's eyes at Author 2's essay. http://www.nd.edu/~fwriting/composition/essay1.shtml

Unit One Assignment: Framing an Argument Formulate an argument that teaches us your perspective on an issue that is open to dispute in the readings you have done so far, in relation to the topic of your course. Your 5-6 page essay should: Help readers see what is at stake in the issue. (In other words, why should readers care? What are the implications for participants?) Use framing strategies throughout your essay to demonstrate how the "lenses" of each author's ideas help you bring into focus aspects of the issue that you find significant, as well as how those lenses reveal possible limitations in the other authors' ideas Quote and analyze specific passages from the texts to illuminate the points you make. Draw on the close-reading skills you are developing in your rhetorical analysis exercises. Draft One Develop and explain your argument using the first two texts you have read in the course so far. Practice the skill of "framing" as you interpret these texts in relation to your own argument, not merely comparing them, but, instead, using one text as a lens through which to examine the other, and vice versa. (For example, look through Author #1's eyes at Author #2's essay. How does Author #1 ideas help you understand Author #2's text? How does Autho #1 help you test the limits of [or complicate, or refute] Author #2's claims? Now, try examining Author #1's essay though the eyes of Author #2 asking those same questions. Your framed readings of these texts should help you develop the central argument you wish to teach us in your essay. (See above numbered points.)

28. First-Year Composition: Essay Three An Argument Based on Original Research In the first essay, you practiced the skillsof narrowing your topic, developing an argument with the use of framing http://www.nd.edu/~fwriting/composition/essay3.shtml

Unit Three Assignment: An Argument Based on Original Research In the first essay, you practiced the skills of narrowing your topic, developing an argument with the use of framing, and using revision to improve the quality of your essay. In the second essay (entering a conversation about an "issue"), you are continuing to move from solely summarizing different people’s positions to arguing (i.e., developing a carefully reasoned, well-supported argument that takes into account other points of view), and on using evidence effectively. In this third essay, you will continue to develop all those skills. You will also conduct your own original research and work on incorporating and balancing a number of (sometimes competing) sources, while keeping your own ideas at the forefront. Among the options for original research methods: Interviews Focus groups Content Analysis Archival research You are free to choose your topic, but it must be an "issue" connected to our course focus. This "issue" may be the one you are writing on in your second essay, or it may be a new issue. If you choose to focus on the same issue, you must expand your scope in the third essay by: 1) revising your purpose; 2) broadening your focus; 3) incorporating new sources. Here are five examples of the kinds of things you might do; you are not limited to these examples:

29. The Basic Elements Of Poetic Composition Th e basi c element s o f poeti c composition. I will begin by introducingtwo important techniques word painting and metaphor extension. http://gcwilkens.bei.t-online.de/essay.htm

T h e b a s i c e l e m e n t s o f p o e t i c c o m p o s i t i o n I will begin by introducing two important techniques: word painting and metaphor extension. "Word painting" is just what it sounds like - the creation of strong, clear visual images in the reader's mind through the use of words, in effect painting on their imaginations. The types of brushes we have available to us are three: color, sense-words, and the metaphor clause. The following is word painting: the night weeped slowly over the wet brown stones, soaking the violin rhythm of my blue thoughts into the old buildings, and the 5:02 bus rumbled on past lean dripping trees that were like actors in a shadow play... Now for the breakdown: 1.Colors: brown, blue, and here the word "shadow" acts as color. Nothing does as much in less space than a color, as visually oriented as humans are. Wallace Stevens could do more with the word "green" than I can do with a whole paragraph of adjectives. Notice colors are both literal and metaphorical: "brown stones" and "blue thoughts" - mix whenever possible. 2. sense words: words that suggest themselves actively to the senses, always good, better when used metaphorically. Ex: wet, soaking, rumbled, dripping.

English Composition Placement Exam Essay What is the purpose of the exam? At Southern Connecticut State University, we require two composition courses: English 100 Composition, which is followed by English 101 Composition II. For students not yet ready for English 100, we also require English 98, a non-credit basic writing course. We use the exam primarily to judge whether you are ready for English 100 or should first take English 98. Who must take the placement exam? Both full-time and part-time students must take the exam in order to register for English 98, 100, 101, or 99 (a credit-bearing, developmental course for students who speak English as a foreign language). Students may not enroll in these courses without a placement test. (Students given transfer credit for the equivalent of English 100, however, may enroll in English 101 without the placement test.) Because English 98 and 100 are designed as courses for students in their first year of university work, we expect students to take the exam in time to register for those courses during their freshman year. Furthermore, English 100 is the pre-requisite not only for English 101 (which in turn is the prerequisite for the all-university requirement of literature) but also for the L-courses (writing intensive courses in various departments) you will be required to take. What is the exam like?

35. The Lost Art Of The Essay: "The Philosophy Of Composition" By Edgar Allan Poe Had I been able in the subsequent composition to construct more vigorous stanzasI The Lost Art of the essay is an RJT NetProduction © 19992000 ALL RIGHTS http://essayists.8m.com/philosophyofcomposition.html

Free Web site hosting - Freeservers.com The Philosophy of Composition by Edgar Allan Poe Charles Dickens, in a note now lying before me, alluding to an examination I once made of the mechanism of "Barnaby Rudge," says"By the way, are you aware that Godwin wrote his 'Caleb Williams' backwards? He first involved his hero in a web of difficulties, forming the second volume, and then, for the first, cast about him for some mode of accounting for what had been done." I cannot think this the precise mode of procedure on the part of Godwinand indeed what he himself acknowledges, is not altogether in accordance with Mr. Dickens' ideabut the author of "Caleb Williams" was too good an artist not to perceive the advantage derivable from at least a somewhat similar process. Nothing is more clear than that every plot, worth the name, must be elaborated to its denouement before anything be attempted with the pen. It is only with the denouement constantly in view that we can give a plot its indispensable air of consequence, or causation, by making the incidents, and especially the tone at all points, tend to the development of the intention. There is a radical error, I think, in the usual mode of constructing a story. Either history affords a thesisor one is suggested by an incident of the dayor, at best, the author sets himself to work in the combination of striking events to form merely the basis of his narrative-designing, generally, to fill in with description, dialogue, or autorial comment, whatever crevices of fact, or action, may, from page to page, render themselves apparent.

39. 20minutes - A Quick Essay About Composition And Meaning 20minutes a quick essay about composition and meaning. After studyingartists and paintings of the 16th, 17th and 18th century, one http://www.illuminated-alley.org/essay/20minutes/

20minutes - a quick essay about composition and meaning After studying artists and paintings of the 16th, 17th and 18th century, one thing hit my eye: nevertheless whether digital art is "minor art" or not, we still should try to focus on compositoric aspects within an image. Still we try to focus on what we want to call meaning and mood or feeling. Regretfully, composition and its power to underline and even raise our aim we want to achieve is something that is totally neglected by a lot of people out there. After talking with several - to me and even to a lot of you - people out there, I've often discovered the lack of knowledge about things like that. So what I want to achieve with the image: first of all, to point out how composition helps to improve an image, and second, on what you might want to look at in upcoming projects. Still we should add that there is of course not a "how to do a perfect composition". Regardless of that fact, it might be pretty helpfull to analyze the series "20minutes" containing of four images. By explaining the meaning, the compositoric methods I tried to realise and finally its combination, I try to present my way of creating images and on what I try to look at while creating something. Maybe you want to read some helpful things out of this.
