So far as I am aware, I only have two writing samples that have been published on the internet. The first is a letter I wrote to the Daily Collegian, Penn State's newspaper. It concerns the controversial subject of racism, and I hope promotes my support for victims of outrageous acts - however the letter concerns certain topics published in the Daily Collegian which I feel fail to constitute racism in particular. Please do not read this letter out of context. I am in no way claiming that racism does not exist, and I am certainly not promoting any acts of hatred. The origional title was "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," but seeing the sensitivity of the subject, I understand and approve of why they rejected my proposal and changed it. The letter was published in the paper, and recieved no formal response from other students. About a month after it's publication, more students began writing and discussing the same issue.
The second piece of writing included here was written for my Mythology Class at Penn State. It was chosen out of a class of over 300 students to be published on the class webpage. When I read this paper now, I see many mistakes and areas of improvement, but it still constitutes a good report.
I hope you enjoy these writings. Please, do not use either of these writings without proper citations - and remember, I am NOT an authority on either subject. I am meerly a student - in other words, according to an English teacher, I am not a reliable source, so you should not be quoting me anyway! |
