  • Love in One Perfect Rose by Dorothy Parker and Cinderella’s Diary by Ron Koertge

    1258 Words  | 3 Pages

    A rose is the ultimate yet simplest sign of love. Billions are sold on Valentine’s Day and countless numbers are sold to epitomize a lover’s feelings throughout the year. The delicate petals, harsh and unforgiving thorns, vivid and deep colors, all of the things associated with a rose go towards it being the best way to sum up a person’s love for another. The rose has often been associated with a sign of romance. The thought of romance is not as appreciated in today’s time period in comparison to, say, fifty years ago. With this in mind, we can examine how the love has changed in symbolism over the years using poetry and literature. “One Perfect Rose” by Dorothy Parker and “Cinderella’s Diary” by Ron Koertge both speak about the beauty and gratitude of being in love, Parker speaks more to the materialistic view of love that has been manifesting over the past century, especially in the American culture while Koertge gives a more humble and earnest viewpoint.

    The author, Amy Tan is a fictional writer who is “fascinated by language in daily life” and inscribes her love for language into her work. As the article, “Mother Touge” progressed into the beginning paragraphs, she realized the different types of “Englishes” she uses. She was giving a speech to an audience with her mother in the crowd about her new book when she realized the language she speaks to the audience is different from her conversation with her mom. Then, later in the book she was walking with her husband and mother and noticed one of her “Englishes”. This type of English, “No waste money that way”, was a personal language that she only used around her family. She did not speak this “limited” language in public or professional settings because of judgment and disrespect. She

  • Magical Dinner By Chang-Rae Lee Analysis

    312 Words  | 1 Pages

    The worst essay from this semester is Magical Dinners by Chang-rae Lee. Why even have this atrocity on the syllabus? Magical Dinners is very blandly written (almost as bland as the food his family makes). This was made obvious by the fact that nobody in our class was into it and there was silence during the whole discussion instead of lots of participation. Furthermore, the only rhetoric I could find Lee even attempting to use was code grooming, which was highly unsuccessful because the meals that his mom made did not sound good and were unable to grab my attention or appetite. This is illustrated when Lee writes “She cooks an egg for me each morning without fail. I might also have with it fried Spam or cereal or a slice of American cheese,

    Have you ever felt like you can’t get the words out of your mouth? When you do manage to talk, does it come out like you are a little kid? Sandra Cisneros’s “Eleven” is about a girl named Rachel who just turned eleven. She is accused of owning a sweater which was left in school for a month. Through this traumatic period of time, Rachel feels a lot of emotions and sometimes, she thinks or acts like her younger self. Throughout the story, the author tries to convey the fact that we all carry with us the years that come before, sometimes reverting to the child within us through our thoughts, actions, and/or emotions.

    Sandra Cisneros purpose for writing “Eleven” is to persuade us to believe her that no matter how old you are, you will always be treated less than that.Because you’re not only your age but all the ages that come before that one.In the text when Rachel the protagonist says,”This is when I wish I wasn’t eleven because all the years inside of me are pushing at the back of my eyes.” That quote shows how she wants to act like how she did when she was younger and just “let all the years out”, but she can’t because she has to act her age. That’s why in the text Rachel keeps telling herself it’s her birthday and reminding herself she is now eleven. But she doesn’t feel eleven, she feels lesser. When I was little, this still happens to me even as I

    We covered the plots of each book; Two only-children of families that detested one another falling in love to the point of ending in tragic death and one man searching for two separate types of life to the point of losing himself in death. We covered many examples of duality in both books. If you noticed these books plots are similar, not in book type but in the pure fact that these books both show some of the same features of writing like duality, obsession, figurative language, and many more themes and features. These books don't have the same genre or anything like that but they are the same in the way that they use literary devices and other things. These books both explore many concepts that are alike but none as much as duality. They show the duality of human nature and many more. The next time you read a book maybe you’ll notice some dualistic features in it as

  • Numb By Lizi Walbo Analysis

    432 Words  | 1 Pages

    As conceited as it sounds, “Numb”, written by me and Lizzy Galbo, has become a favorite of mine. I don’t think that it’s necessarily the best poem ever created, but I can’t help but smile whenever I read it or even think about it despite the somewhat depressing content. I’ve always thought of poetry as a stream of thought that evokes emotion and that often creates a beautiful image with different figures of speech. Although not all the images should be taken literally, “Numb” does have a narration that describes the scene as well as the emotions of the character in the scene, all wrapped together to create haunting imagery and evoke feelings of sorrow from the reader with the assistance of figures of speech, such as personification. While some people may read the words “the rage met by love and a lick of shame” and find them striking, which they, of course, are as Arundhati Roy puts words together in an extremely moving way, I can not help but reminisce to the day when I sat in English class writing the poem with Lizzy and saying “I don’t think this makes sense here” and then proceeding to put the phrase in

  • Similarities Between The Science Fiction Legend

    528 Words  | 2 Pages

    Conflicts are what cause these two novels so exciting. For example, in 1984, Winston wants to kill and rape Julia before he actually met her. He had the idea that she was a member of the thought police, and since he tends to spot her everywhere, he concluded she was stalking him. It was, at the time, an internal conflict between right and survival. If she was part of the Thought Police, then it would be in his best interest to eliminate her one way or another. However, he was not 100% sure whether she was or not, and it would not be right to kill her if she wasn't. In Legend, one of the other main characters, June, has to lie to Day, even though he has feelings for her, as she is part of the government and Day is a
