The English 9 Final Essay
Your, “Thesis” for this paper (what you are going to do, show, or prove) is to discuss what you learned this semester?
A sample introduction:
Oscar Wilde once said, “What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise.” Most people think they know what success is, or how to become successful. Some people look at hard work, a difficult task or a difficult assignment as being a bad thing-something to avoid at all cost. Some young people think that, “chillin” is the best non-activity to be engaged in. I am not that sure that, “chillin” is the best non-activity to be engaged in when a person is in high school. This essay will cover some of what our class learned in the first semester of English 9. Specifically, this essay will focus on the benefits of journaling, what one can learn from reading, Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson, and, Night by Elie Weisel. In addition, this essay will also discuss what a student can learn from watching The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, and the movie, Peaceful Warrior which is based upon a book written by Dan Millman titled, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior. Lastly, this essay will discuss what a student can learn from watching Ted Talks from Caroline Casey, Neil Pasricha, JR, and Mundano. It has been an interesting year.
