Timed Write The major and minor conflicts of a story will affect the plot and outcome of certain events.
Different types of conflict affect the story in different ways. This is demonstrated in Percy Bysshe
Shelley's Sonnet "Lift not the painted veil which those who live" and Lord of the flies by William
Golding. Each passage demonstrates an internal conflict within a character that will affect the outcome of the plot. In this passage from William Golding's "Lord of the flies" the character (Simon) is dealing with a deep internal conflict causing him to hallucinate. Simon is plagued with menacing thoughts about the group, Ralph's approval, and his friendship with piggy. As a result of this, his hallucinations are causing him great fear and making him face his troubles, "Well then,’ said the
Lord of the Flies, ‘you’d better run off and play with the others. They think you’re batty. You don’t want Ralph to think you’re batty, do you? You like Ralph a lot, don’t you? And Piggy and
Jack?'"(Golding). Therefore, Simons emotions and this conflict he has with himself will affect the plot of the story and the characters involved. This conflict can also be demonstrated in the passage from "Lift not the painted veil which those who live". Much like the passage from "Lord of the flies" this excerpt highlights an internal conflict in a character that affects the outcome of the

Revised Prose In Tim O Brien's The Things They Carried

essays range from Revised Prose Timed Writing to my Hamlet Research essay. In addition to those two essays, my other best works include my Dystopian Novel Final Essay and Coffeehouse Essays. I chose these essays because I consider each one of them to be very distinct from each other. These essays perfectly exemplify my academic growth throughout the year. Firstly, in my Revised Prose Essay titled, An Itch to Declare Disdain, I reflected on my original prose timed writing and fixed the errors I felt…

Does Sherman Alexe's This Is What It Means To Say Hollywood Westerns?

Overall, I feel this timed write went fairly decently. I addressed the prompt with a strong thesis statement that made the claim that Hollywood’s portrayal wasn’t accurate and that Sherman Alexie’s stories provided “first-hand accounts of what life is really like on the reservations.” From there I then provided two paragraphs, each with a topic sentence. For example, “In Hollywood Westerns, the Native Americans are often portrayed as savages.” Then I incorporated textual evidence that supports my…

Personal Narrative: A Long Way Gone

learned how to use logic and information or experiences to write an organized essay in which I clearly explain my stance on the topic. While I was capable of doing so before, I can now more logically and concisely do this in shorter amounts of time. Overall, this year I wrote an abundance of essays and learned a great deal from it. Moving from ninth grade English to this class initially proved challenging; before AP Language, all of the timed writings that I did (with the exception of one about Of…

How Should I Write This Down?

Should I Write This Down?” “Just a reminder everyone, we are having another timed essay in class tomorrow so make sure to bring at least 5 pieces of paper and 2 pencils of blue or black ink,” my AP English teacher, Mrs. Coco, said with calmness as the whole class reacted with distress. I thought to myself, “Oh man, not another in-class writing essay, I just know I won’t do well,” as I faced my head down towards the desk. Was this how you reacted when you were given an assignment to write an essay…

Star Fish Rhetorical Analysis

I had noticed that my commentary/analysis was not brief enough, yet did not thoroughly analyze the text and its rhetorical devices. I then made a goal in my trimester 1 reflection to write concise analyses that dig deeper into the text and flow well with smooth transitions. Now, in my timed essays, I do not write too much in my commentary. However, the commentary has other flaws. While writing my essay last Wednesday, I felt that I “blanked” multiple times while writing my commentary. Part of this…

AP World History Class Reflection

could already predict my grade. However, last year, Honors English Language did not require me to compose a timed writing every week, and this therefore made it more challenging for me to keep my grade up if I did not score a minimum of 7 on the essays. The apparent pattern of using abstract example instead of concrete ones has been associated with a low score on my assignments. On the timed writings, I do better on them when I recycle any soaked up knowledge I have from my AP World History class…
