This. Also putting a picture of Arnie into your text is extraordinarily unprofessional.

>>82331760
>Something I find amazing
Colloquium and unnecessary first person addendum. Also "amazing"? Hyperbolic.

Numerous spelling mistakes, redundancy issues and overall unprofessional. Give up now.

"I" is used pretty frequently in liberal arts if its used discursively

i.e "I will argue, I found that. I will use this framework" etc.

No it's not, I did a double major in English and Information/Communication Studies and it'll net you docked marks on an essay even in Arts and Humanities. I can't imagine what kind of new age hippy shit professor doesn't apply professional formal writing standards to essays.

Even if professors give concessions to it, it is an extremely bad habit and should be avoided to better construct your argument.

Not that guy, but during my literature class we would be docked points for not including a paragraph where we used 'I' to explain the book and how it related to us. This was a class for 17/18 year olds too.

What are movies about manlets?
Preferrably some where they never learn and get what they deserve

sounds like an american school

>>82333513
>a paragraph where we used 'I' to explain the book and how it related to us
>how it related to us
in this case, the paragraph is about you, so you obviously use I or me
in all other cases, the essay is about the subject and not about you, so it should be avoided

I'm giving you an F. See me after class. Alone.

You're full of shit. It's pretty common in essays and books on literature even at graduate level and above. Obviously not like "I think the author is saying x...." but in cases like >>82332233 is saying.
I've been doing a fucking ton of research on papers in the humanities recently and have a few open on my desktop that do it. Here's an example in a published literary journal.

Nah, Australia and it was for one test. Still though, I remember it being weird because I spent 4 years being told NEVER to use "I".
