J Robert Oppenheimer: Writing About Him and Finding a Place for Review

[barcat]

The other day, I posted an inquiry about J Robert Oppenheimer.
I was given an assignment to write a 500-700-word essay about him.
The thread produced enough postings that it gave me the
kick-start I needed to get started on the essay. For that, I am
most appreciative. I was able to complete it and turn it in on time.

I have another question though. Paralleling my attempt to better
myself in the field of science is an attempt to do the same in the
field of literature. Is there a place in cyber space that one can go
to, to submit a writing for review (mostly for grammatical and
structural purposes)? [?]

I have never posted there, myself, so I'm not sure what quality of grammatical and structural guidance you might get, but it seems like the kind of place you should be able to find people willing to tackle that kind of thing.

Also: get yourself a "College Handbook" and a decent dictionary
(I like the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary).

To the extent you can find anyone willing to question anything you've done, you can research it in the handbook and get the official story.

First of all, congratulations on completing your essay on J Robert Oppenheimer and turning it in on time! It's great to hear that our responses on the thread were able to provide you with the necessary motivation to get started on your assignment.

Regarding your question about finding a place for review of your writing, there are definitely many options available online. One popular platform is called "Critique Circle," where writers can submit their work for review and receive feedback from other writers. Another option is to join writing groups or communities on social media, such as Facebook or Goodreads, where writers often offer to exchange feedback on each other's work.

Additionally, many universities and colleges have writing centers or tutoring services that offer free or low-cost assistance with writing and editing. If you are a student, it may be worth checking if your school has such resources available.

Lastly, don't underestimate the power of peer review. Asking a friend or classmate to read over your writing can also be helpful in catching any grammatical or structural errors.

Overall, there are plenty of options available for getting your writing reviewed, so don't hesitate to seek out the help and feedback you need to improve your skills in both science and literature. Best of luck on your academic journey!
