Larissa De La Rosa replied to the topic Research Project Writing Day 3
My argument is that we need to contribute to the minimizing of waste in NYC one habit at a time, one individual at a time. I will support my argument with articles written on ways to reduce waste and the effect of waste on the environment. The research I need is studies on the environment, where waste goes, and data collected on an average…[Read more]

In thinking about all the topics I’ve chosen to write about in this class this semester I have come to the conclusion that I have written solely about the power in everyday things around us and the importance of both the little and big matters in our society. For my summary of a person paper I wrote about my mother’s power in going to school while…[Read more]

Larissa De La Rosa replied to the topic Research Project: Day 1: On Writing
Throughout the semester I have written argumentative, expository, biography, and journal pieces. Up until now I mentally separated the journaling I do every day and academic writing. Because of this class, I have seen that these two don’t need to be species from different planets; in fact, doing one type of writing strengthens the ability to do…[Read more]

This image artistically depicts the innate beauty and delicacy of the feminine mind. The flowers taking the place of the head are meant to show beauty, as the beauty of a woman is often compared to roses. It also shows the delicacy of the feminine mind since flowers easily get trampled and withered and females tend to be portrayed as being…[Read more]

My angle is my mother as a student.

2)Community college in NYC

Larissa De La Rosa replied to the topic Summary of a person!
The chapter “Palace intrigue” is all about the exhaustive process of negotiations between President Nixon and Leonid Brezhnev, the leader of the Soviet Union, during the Moscow summit of 1972 and their counter-productiveness. The author very plainly states “In short, the talks had spurred the arms race they were supposed to control.” The week long…[Read more]
