...ach of the people in the Cuzak house and they all accepted each other for who they were in this lifelong friendship. Jim’s love for Ántonia had transformed from desire to pure contentment in the truth that Ántonia became the person she was meant to be and with the family she deserved. This type of love is rare in the world.
At the age of 9, Lucy Grealy was diagnosed with terminal cancer. In her book, The Autobiography of a Face, Grealy explains the hardships she faces throughout her journey and how she dealt with them. I would highly recommend this book to my classmates because it shows the atrocity of cancer, the importance of having a support system, and puts in perspective how the little things throughout society can mean so much when you're going through such trials and tribulations.
...nt for the reader to use direct and indirect characterization because the reader has to understand all of the characters true personality. Using indirect characterization the reader learned that Dee was not ignorant of her family heritage just because she left her home. Using indirect characterization the reader also identified that mamma may have felt oppressed and jealous of Dee because she had moved on with her life and got an education. The story is not just about a random quilt, it the value and history that it holds that was so important to Dee. The reader learned each of the characters true personality by using direct and indirect. This is important because the reader has to see both sides of the character the way it is described and the way it really is. Maggie directly described Dee as isolated and selfish but indirectly Dee cared about her family heritage.

It is safe to say that the box next to the “boring, monotone, never-ending lecture” has been checked off more than once. Without the use of rhetorical strategies, the world would be left with nothing but boring, uniform literature. This would leave readers feeling the same way one does after a bad lecture. Rhetorical devices not only open one’s imagination but also allows a reader to dig deep into a piece and come out with a better understanding of the author’s intentions. Ursula K. Le Guin’s “The Wife’s Story” is about a family that is going through a tough spot. However, though diction, imagery, pathos, and foreshadowing Guin reveals a deep truth about this family that the reader does not see coming.
The essay aims to conduct a short analysis on the film Written on the Wind by Douglas Sirk. The scene that I have selected to conduct the analysis on is the opening sequence, it introduces the audience to the Hadley family and to the main conflict within the first 3 minutes of the opening. The analysis aims to break down the scene and analyze the mise-en-scene such as lighting, set, editing and the music to see how each element plays its role in creating the narrative.
During the story “My Lucy Friend Who Smells Like Corn”, The author wrote this text in order to tell the reader about how poor lucy is and it is about what lower class did for fun.Throughout the story Lucy's actions make her seem like a shockingly gross little girl.In the story she does some disturbing things and she takes alot of dares from her friend for example she said”Have you ever eated dog food? I have. After crunching like ice, she opens her big mouth to prove it, only a pink tongue rolling around in there like a blind worm, and Janey looking in because she said Show me But me I like that Lucy, corn smell hair and aqua flip-flops just like mine that we bought at the K mart for only 79 cents same time”This is an example of a type of indirect
Part One:The scene that was most memorable to me in this play was when Lenny and Curley¡¦s wife shared a conversation while the others were away. It started with Lenny moping around about the rabbit he had killed and then Curley¡¦s wife joined him. This scene ended in a surprising way, but in my opinion many interesting things were discussed about the concept of life. I was extremely surprised with the ending of this scene because when the conversation began I predicted that it was the start to a close relationship between the two of them.
Countless dozens of Ph.D theses must be written about Mozart's The Magic Flute and yet it is so lively with elements of fantasy and free-flying imagination that it is often the first opera to which children are taken. It has a plot of such complexity that it takes several viewings for all but the most studious opera buffs to sort out the characters and follow the ins and outs of the multilevel story. At the same time it has so much easily accessible charm and so many glorious Mozart tunes that even the novice will be captivated.
Once I picked up Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult, reading was forever changed for me. At the time, I was confident that I would write my own novel some day and longed to possess the magic that Picoult’s work had. Her style for writing narratives is unique from almost anything else I’ve found to read with a mixed genre of contemporary, mystery, and crime. Elements in her writing that inspire me include topics that are realistic, relatable, and heavily researched, several different points of view that allow the reader to develop compelling opinions of each character, and emotions that tug the reader’s heart strings.
FID for both speech and thought presentations is generally regarded as a style which enables smooth shifts between the narrative and dialogues/thoughts in the third person narrative. The reader is guided by the author/narrator to read the passage presented in FIS smoothly, thanks to its lack of quotation marks as well as the verb of saying and the attribution of the subject (such as ‘Tom said/thought’), while it retaining the third person and the past tense in the same manner as in the narrative. Modernist writers employed FID in combination with other styles for ‘the stream of consciousness’ so that the reader can feel closely with the protagonist’s train of thoughts. Virginia Woolf is one of the most successful writers in the experiment of this narrative technique. M. B. Parkes, an authority in palaeography, states that ‘Woolf exercises greater control [than her precursors] over her readers’ responses by means of punctuation.’(1) In the passages presented in FID, the narrator does not intervene in the reader but silently encourages her to experience a character’s inner thoughts.
I handed my school photograph to my mother. She stared from the photograph to me. Lord sweet Lord how come she so ugly. UGLY. UGLY.'
There are so many different opinions on what beauty is. The idea of beauty is purely opinionated. Beauty is your own idea, skinny or thick, long hair or short hair, light skin or dark skin. How people define beauty is unique in many different ways everyone has a different opinion. No ones idea of beauty is the same. In society today it has become more materialistic based if you wear the latest designer or you have the newest pair of sneakers out and the true meaning of being beautiful has escaped our souls. Beauty is not just what we see on the outside it is so much deeper then what we see its what we also have to offer on the inside.Your intelligence is beauty your mind, body, and soul. Beauty is not a single image, but the active embodiment
