Underlining or Italics

In english writing, underlining or italics are of great importance. The folloowing rules help me with italics:

1:Underline titles of long works such as books, magazines, albums, movies, etc. (Do not underline end punctuation.)
Example: We use The Language Handbook to study grammar.
Example: We use The Language Handbook to study grammar.


2:Underline foreign words which are not commonly used in everyday English.
Example: If you look closely, you'll see e pluribus on most U.S. currency.
Example: If you look closely, you'll see e pluribus on most U.S. currency.

I spend my break on this rasearch paper and it was tough for me to write this big paper. I am using 9 sources for it. I hope this paper will be fine.

Dash

Dash is important to know for English writing. The rule is:
Use a pair of dashes to indicate a sudden interruption in a sentence. (One handwritten dash is twice as long as a hyphen. One typewritten dash is one hyphen followed by another.)
Example: There is one thing--actually several things--that I need to tell you.
Use a dash to attach an afterthought to an already complete sentence.
Example: Sarah bought a new pet yesterday--a boa constrictor.
Use a dash after a series of introductory elements.
Example: Murder, armed robbery, assault--he has a long list of felonies on his record.

Media and Power

I read the essay of Diana Kendall "Vicarious Living, and Conspicuous Consumption" very interesting. She portrays the reality of our media influence on people and how media helps us to see upper and lower class differently. They just donot represent upper and lower class situtions but they make our minds as they like. no doubt, people try to copy the celebrities and characters repesented in the media. Media is representing more voilence programs and people are getting more violent because of this reason. She is true that media shapes our society and our thinking. We see and analyze things through their eyes.
Moreover, " Two Ways a Woman Can Get Hurt" by Kilbourne is true. The main point in her essay is that Media is playing an important role in discriminating women against men. Media portrays women as an object and a inferior thing, while represents men as superior and respectable. The media makes people think women are responsible for any bad act happens with them by men. The media makes women a bad reputed while prevents men from being bad reputed even if they act immoral.

question mark

question mark is important. The rule for question mark:
Use a question mark at the end of a question.
Example: Did Steven go with you?
Use a question mark at the end of a declarative statement that you want to emphasize as not believing the statement.
She's our new teacher?
Use a question mark with parentheses to indicate that you are not sure of a spelling or other fact.

Realize bitter reality

I read " Serving in florida" by Barbara Ehrenreich and I found this essay based on reality. Barbara has reflected the reality of the people who do minimum wage job and how they survive in their life. It is an eye opening essay for those who think to drop out of college and start a minimum wage job.

In the College , students may think themselves in very difficult and hard working situataton and where thay have to keep up with the tests and assignment and burden to complete everything on time, but if we compare college life with minumum wage job then we could realize
regretfullness and comfortless in life.This essay will be helpful in changing point of view of that person who thinks about droping out of college.

It is true that college life is not easy, but in the long run it turns out as a blessing when students complete education and find decent job with reasonable salaries. I feel blessed and lucky that I am in college and completing my education and then I will start a good salary job. I cannot bear and survive with minimum salary job and cannot imagine to live a miserable life.
