bad writing

PHYS 180 Final Essay • A rather philosophical essay on physics, while also linking it to our human concepts of language. I think it's alright. Grade: A+

PHIL 240 Final Essay • A perhaps pretentious essay for my class on political philosophy, focusing on care for others and education in a world with so little emphasis on love. I think it's alright. Grade: A

PHIL 306 Final Essay • An essay analyzing Putnam's own essay on robots and whether or not they are - or should be spoken about as - conscious. It sometimes becomes difficult to parse some of my long sentences, but I do like the way it sounds in my head. I think it's alright. Grade: A-

SOCI 321 Essay • An essay on my perspective as a male cashier in a grocery store. Hoschild's work on Emotional Labour is often referred to in a strong and unnuanced way, and the terms get thrown around loosely. I attempt to bring nuance to the conversation, showing that Emotional Labour is not a "great evil" that people on blogs constantly point to. Not standard essay structure, but I enjoyed writing it. I think it's not too bad.

LING 320 Final Essay • An essay on bilingualism in Canada throughout its history and how language planning in Quebec hurts people instead of helping the French language. I think it's alright. The prof called it "enthusiastic and spirited but somewhat rambling and loosely constructed". Grade: B

Boissons • Collection of poems written by a bunch of depressed 16 years old students back in 2021-2022. Most poems reference events and people from our school at the time. Third parties are welcome to read, but are not expected to understand. This is, in some way, just a bunch of pretty garbage, and I love it.
