Business Letter to Apple

Liam Vereb Ms. Asuncion  English 9 Honors  October 2015 Business letter to Apple 1234 Plaza Square Ashburn, VA 23456 October 9th, 2015 Tim Cook 1 Infinite Loop  Cupertino, CA 95014  Dear Mr. Cook, I am an enthusiastic Apple fan. I read all the news sites, read all the blogs, and follow all the keynotes to find out about every product update. I recently bought an Apple iPhone 6s and once again the Apple product has delighted me. From the big changes like the new 3D Touch which allows users to do different things such as peek at content based on the amount of pressure applied to the iPhone screen, to the very subtle changes like the new vibration feelings of the phone when it rings. Everything about the new iPhone 6s is amazing and an improvement from the older phones.  Unfortunately my purchase experience was not nearly as pleasant. I have at least 20 Apple products in my house between my parents, my siblings, and myself. So I...

The Halloween Accident

Liam Vereb Ms. Asuncion English 9 Honors, Block 2 1 October 2015 The Halloween Accident It was a cold, dark Halloween night when a young boy named Thomas was walking home from soccer practice. Thick chunks of snow fell all around him, limiting his field of vision to only a couple of feet. The wind punched at Thomas' sides knocking him left and right, but he had to continue for he was on his own.               Thomas soon came to a fork in the road where he had to make a choice. He could either go left and get home faster, but he would have to cross a frozen lake and he could risk falling in. Or he could go right and walk along a path but he would get home later. To avoid getting caught out in the ever worsening snow storm, he decided on the left and take the risk.  Thomas soon reached the frozen lake. He set the lantern down and reached into his backpack and pulled out a ruler. He remembered coming hunting h...

Business letter to Fritos

Raman Kaur Ms. Asuncion English 9 Honors, Block 2 19 November 2015 Business Letter to Frito Lays Company 12345 Conquest Cir. Ashburn, VA 20148 Another date? 7701 Legacy Dr. Plano TX 75024 Dear Mr. Greco, I have recently tried your new Doritos chip flavor. The sweet chili flavor has an awesome punch of flavor! I really like the spiciness that comes first, and then the sweetness that calms your mouth. I also love all the other chip varieties your company offers. My favorites, would probably have to be the classic potato, barbeque, or the cool ranch chip. I love the crisp and airiness the classic potato chip has to offer. With the barbeque, I love the smoky flavor it leaves after you are done eating it. Last but not least, the Cool Ranch Dorito just has a great flavor and I love how they are shaped like triangles. Another thing I love about your company is that for each Dorito flavor, there is a different colored bag. I think that’s creative. Every time I op...

MLA - In-text Citations

For research papers and reader responses, you must cite your text, or the source within the body of you paper. See  https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/02/ These might answer some common in-text citation questions... In-text citations: Author-page style MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The author's name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence. For example: Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (263). Romantic poetry is characterized by the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (Wordsworth 26...
