Definition -- Individual Response

[Mr. Kitsmiller]

These are the ideas that we would like you to respond to when considering the individual essay response for this section:

1. What essay did you read?
2. What is your reaction to the essay on a personal level?  Did you find it interesting?  What did you like or dislike regarding the author's style?
3. How does this author effectively use the style of definition?

[The Dark Lord SATAN!!! (christian haley)]

1. School vs. Education

2.I really liked this paper, the last sentence was very clever and actually gave the feeling that the essay was over. I found this very interesting because i had never thought about it before, but it seems to be very accurate. I didnt dislike a single thing other than the fact that the author assumes every household has broken parents.

3. They broadly define what school is, and at the end define education as curiosity.

[Briana Everhart]

1) Play The Game

2) I really like the essay because I believe it is very true. Eventhough I am the person that hides their feelings. I still believe that what she says is true, showing your feeling is showing that a person is passionate.

3) She uses defintion by expanding on the definition of passionate. She does that by explaining and tell how people show passion. 

[Noor Bibi]

1. School vs. Education

2. I really liked this, because in some cases its true. I found it interesting because whatever the writer said is true.... and sometimes I also have same questions and answer those questions by myself.

3. Author used the word school and explained it in many ways that describes school.

[Folasade Aiyeru]

1.Play the Game

2. I liked how she was saying how if we ignore our emotions we should still acknowledge that it is there. With that ownership we can still stay in the "game". I always looked at passion in a good way, and never in a bad light. 

3. She used a deeper definition than what was in the free dictionary. She put people in categories to find which one you are.

[Savanna McClure]

1. Play the Game

2. I like this essay because I feel the same way about sharing my feelings.

3. They use more then what the free online dictionary used and puts it in sections.

[Connar Benson]

I read School vs. Education. I find it extremely interesting because I completely feel the same way, just because you go to school and you have an amazing job, does not mean that you are more "educated" than some else. The author uses a ton of extended definition, for example when he is writing, in the essay he starts taking about college and explaining how it is, but not only from a college students stand point but also from an "uneducated" person point of view and he really explains what college is not what the definition in a dictionary is.    

[Evan Kraus]

1. Play the Game 

2. In my opinion this was a very good and thought out essay. I think this essay was interesting because it made you think a lot to understand it. Not everyone thinks about what the essay was about on a regular basis. I liked the way it explained how everyone is different.

3. The author used extended definition by giving the actual definition of passionate and then expanded on it throughout the essay. 

[John Butler]

1. Play The Game

2. I agree with what she is saying that when you show your feelings that is showing that you are passionate about something. 

3.She went deeper into the definition the free dictionary gave and put people into different sections  

[Jenicka Roche]

1. School Vs. Education

2. I sorta agreed with it. I feel like the writer was right, someone doesn't really need to be the smartest or most educated to get the best job out there. The author wrote about how in high school people are just taking tests and making the testers happy, when they most likely don't need those tests to be great in the real world. 

3. The author uses definition by explaining the different between "school" and "education", and by giving an example or definition of how school or college is. 

[Elijah Cummings]

1. School vs education 2.I personally feel like all of it is true. School is just a place where there are teachers that teaches you what you need in life to work even more. Education is something you can gain on your own. Schools are not very useful. Television teaches us what we need. This was very interesting because he talks about the truth. I like he said all the steps that we go through in life from school. Then he ends the story with "one day find himself with the leisure and the inclination to open a book with a curious mind, and start to become educated." 3. He says the definition of school and what it teaches you. He describes what school is.

[Fowsia Mohamed]

1. School Vs. Education

2. I thought this essay was pretty interesting actually. I really appreciated how the author subtly states that just because you've gone to school for this many years, it doesn't mean you're more or less educated than somebody who didn't go to school.

3. The author uses definition by telling you exactly what and how long you go to school, and what education is.

[rogers.bryce]

1. Play The Game

2. I found it to be pretty true, especially the part where it days people try to hide their emotions, because its an everyday thing and its more or less required.

3. She defines passionate, and explains how people show passion through their different emotions

[Israel Dorsey]

1. Play the Game

2. I related to this paper alot and I agree that no one should ever have to apologize about how we feel becauase we are only being honest. I'm always feeling this way and trying to explain to others that feeling how we feel isn't wrong and theirs never a need to apologize for that.

3. It uses extended definition becuase she is deeply defining the word passionate

 

[Madison Smith]

1. The essay I read was "Play the Game"

2. I agreed with the essay because the content was true.  You should not have to apologize for your emotions because we cannot control them.  The part about emotions setting us aside from other creatures was really interesting.  I liked how the author used emotion in the passage about emotion. 

3. The author effectively uses definition by giving literal examples such as the dictionary definition, but then indirect examples such as how we may feel in certain times.

[Daniel Ely]

1. Play the Game

2. This essay is a very interesting analysis of people, and I appreciated the authors style. It makes you really wounder how much people really play the game on the outside.

3.The author used definition to define passion, and to illustrate how people display their passion in their lives
