Compose Review Of Writing

Writing Contest for Composition in ENGL 1539, ENGL 1540, ENGL 1550, ENGL 1551.

From the Beak About the CROW

Writing well begins with asking effective questions of ourselves and of the world around us. In writing as in music, to compose measns to lead an audience from intriguing beginning to enlightening conclusion.

Writing is an arrangement, an orchestration, which holds together our ideas with tone, theme, contrasts, and harmonies specific to us. This collection of Youngstown State University undergraduate student writing recognizes the curiosity, the analysis, the power and the elegance that make a strong piece writing. We have included works from all levels of YSU's general education composition courses.

We encourage future submissions, and we advocate for students to take pride in their work and in their talents. Our intent is to celebrate a continuum of student writing.
