The title of this book is “Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie.” If the word “lie” from the title was meant to mean “lie down,” the title would be a play on words because you usually lie down when you sleep. So, they are saying that freshmen are too busy doing homework and other schoolwork to lie down and sleep peacefully. If the word “lie” means not telling the truth, then the title would be saying that freshmen who are sleeping never tell lies, which is obvious because you can’t talk when you’re asleep. Scott has lied to Wesley, his dad, and himself. One day, Mr. Franka sent Scott to the office to pick up a file, so he went to the office, sat down and waited for the secretary to get him the file. Later, Wesley arrives at the office because he got…

This class has built a great basis for me, towards my academic future. I do realize that I am far away from being even an average writer, but I enjoy and accept that challenge to myself on becoming a competent writer. Parts of my writing, that still need to work are my introductions and sentence fluency.

I’ve learned many things during EN101, the…

In almost every English class, the transition from midterm to final term is not quite easy. In this class final term, ENG 121, I have practiced my writing skills continuously with the process and writing from analysis of printed ad to the complicated argumentative essay.

For instance, the idea of finding or creating a topic sentence, developing details, and reasoning and concluding the essay were part of the things that had a great help for the final semester.…
