1. Minecraft Essay
Minecraft is a game where the player uses their imagination to shape the world around them using
the resources they find. In the world everything is shaped like a block or a cube, this includes the
trees, the dirt, the water, the clouds, even the sun, everything. This simple game hasn't even been
released yet but has already sold over one million copies. Minecraft was created by one man,
Markus "Notch" Persson, and this is his story. What makes the story of Minecraft so unique is that
it was created by Notch and only Notch. Notch had a job before Minecraft, working on games for a
company. He started to work on Minecraft in his free time but after a giant popularity spike he
realized that it could be a hit, so he quit his job and began...show more content...
The game sells around 10,000 copies per day. It has become a cultural phenomenon and on
January 12, 2011 sales passed the one million mark, but they continued to rise. With popularity
increasing, big name comics like "Penny Arcade" and "Hejibits" discovered the game too and
published comic strips about minecraft, leading to even further sales. Minecraft makes $250,000
a day and continues to do so. On June 13, 2011, Minecraft passed 2.5 million sales. Today Mojang
has 10 employees. Markus Persson, Jens Bergensten, Daniel Kaplan, Junkboy, Jakob Porser, Carl
Manneh, Tobias Mollstam, Aron Neiminen, Daniel Frisk, and Daniel Rosenfeld. These few
people make up the team that continues to work towards Minecraft's future. But with so few
employees things take time. Even though the game has not been officially released, people who
buy the game get a copy of what it is right now as the updates are being pushed out. With such
success Mojang is the target of some heavy criticism from blogs, critics, and even their own fans.
One speculation from fans is that Minecraft will be the company's 1 hit wonder. What happens if it
truly is a one hit wonder? Will the company go down under? Will it be the end of Mojang? Will
they join a publisher in order to stay afloat and lose their title of "indie?" Another speculation
concerns Mojang's next game that has absolutely nothing to do with Minecraft, not even in the same
genre. What if nobody likes the game? What

2. How To Write Me
I learned how to write when I was six years old. I was a very smart, curies and happy child. Being
very interesting in new things made me practice writing and reading over and over again.
First, I started learning how to write a letter. Later on I learned that letters became words and the
words became sentences .Also, reading a book taught me how to write was a way of expressing my
feelings. Even if the life experience of a six years old child does not have a lot of things to write
about, the adventures of everyday life inspired me to write my first page in my life.
When my mom found out about my passion for writing and reading she bought me my first
diary.One sunny spring day, she came to my room and she gave me beautiful pink box with the

3. Essay About Myself
There are three very important aspects that play a major rule in my life. They can be categorized as
intellectual, social, and spiritual. My intellectual self is interesting because I am mainly
right–brained which means that I tend to use my creativity more than my mathematical skills, also
making me a visual learner. My social self consists of friends, family, and my surroundings. I spend
most of my time at home with my family. Whenever I am with my friends, I observe their behaviors
and listen to their opinions. I am more of an independent type of person. Being with different people
has influenced me into appreciating different cultures and beliefs. I have learned things that have
now been incorporated into my own set of beliefs and...show more content...
I find that I can only recall long–term memories if they are important to me, or if they are dramatic
experiences. A few examples of my childhood memories are my mother reading to me, my
grandfather playing his guitar, and my dad relentlessly teaching me how to ice skate, no matter
how many times I fell. The people who affect my social life the most are my family and friends. I
have an extremely close family that has played a major role in my life. They are whom I spend
most of my spare time with. My family usually gathers every weekend for dinner. I am also very
open to different religions, cultures, and practices because I know many people with different
backgrounds and beliefs. Since I've been influenced by various people, I've learned at a very
young age to never judge people by how they look, dress, feel, or act. I am very fortunate to have
learned these lessons, because many people still do not understand the importance of accepting
differences. In a group, I prefer to listen to what others have to say, and then contribute to the
discussion. I try to listen so I am able to compare them to my own thoughts. I enjoy working in a
group, because it gives everyone an opportunity to incorporate their own ideas. My social self is
most greatly influenced by my family and friends. I believe that my spiritual self is the most
important out of the three. Although I have a certain religion that I belong to and practice, I believe
in a bit of

4. Me as a Writer
As a writer, I think that I am not as good as I thought I was back in high school. I see myself as a
student who tries their best, but makes "B" average work. I have never really taken the time to
relate to my papers. I always just wrote what the teacher wanted and handed it in. In my mind, I
never really liked trying to explain in full detail what something meant. Back in high school, my
teachers always wanted me to explain my writing in such depth that a kindergartener would
understand why Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy. Trying to explain my writing was always very
tiring. I often would get bored trying to explain and just stop writing and do something else for a
while. Most of the time in high school I didn't like writing. Mainly...show more content...
One way to calm my inner critic is a quote from Allegra Goodman's article called Calming the
Inner Critic and Getting to Work on page 309. "Love your material. Nothing frightens the inner
critic more than the writer who loves her work. The writer who is enamored of her material
forgets all about censoring herself. She doesn't stop to wonder if her book is any good, or who
will publish it, or what people will think. She writes in a trance, losing track of time, hearing only
her characters in her head." What this means to me is that if I truly let my mind go and only
focus on the material, I will be able to write the paper without having my inner critic confuse me.
In an article called The Composing Processes of Unskilled College Writers by Sondra Pearl on
page 201, there is a strategy that I used to help with writing a paper. "Given any topic, the first
operation he performed was to focus in and narrow down the topic. He did this by rephrasing the
topic until either a word or an idea in the topic linked up with something in his own experience (an
attitude, an opinion, an event). In this way he established a connection between the field of
discourse and himself and at this point he felt ready to write." The strategy that he uses to organize
his thoughts is the same way I start my papers. I start with just words that relate to the topic and
figure out how to put them in my writing so they make sense to the
