Good programmers and writers have a good sense of style. With that being said computer science and literature are very similar. When comparing my current CPSC 240 class (Object Oriented and Design) to my ENGL 206A (Global Issues in Literature) I think about patterns and structure in both classes. In CPSC 240, the purpose of the class is to learn how to work with object-oriented Java code and to learn how to visually design and structure code instead of programming the first thing that comes into mind without a planning our next course of action. We talk about how our code has structure and patterns and rather than just writing code there are types of patterns that you look for and steps to implementing them into a concise well-structured program.

Writer’s write as much as they do because they understand that it is better to get words down on a page, knowing very well that the majority of their writing will get deleted or rewritten in the editing phases. Although it can be very tempting to start editing once a sentence or paragraph is on the page, it breaks the writer’s flow and prevents even better work from being written. Writers will go through a first, second, and usually third and fourth drafts of their own work. The same can be applied to programming. Your first go at your program should be focused on trying to get the code onto the screen and working as intended. Later on, you can go back and refactor once you realize you have some duplicate code or performance starts becoming an issue. The programmer has to take into account who are their viewers/consumers just as a writer needs to take into account who their audience is. When an author starts their process of writing their novel, they define their characters. While in computer science we define our variables to our problem (this is equivalent to creating the character in a …show more content…
In the first stanza, Heaney talks about how a fisherman catches a dead infant in the water. In tanza two he talks about a mother that drowns her infant. Stanza three he goes deeper into the mother’s feelings when drowning the infant. In the fourth stanza, he talks about the struggle and gives the reader insight into her religion. In the final stanza, Heaney closes the poem by referencing how God is powerless. Heaney structured this poem to convey a hidden message on his own feelings by criticizing a religion that would drive a woman to do such a terrible act of killing her own child. Instead of Heaney telling the reader that there was an infant that was pulled out of water and that it was the child’s mother he uses language to make the reader infer that it was the infants mother who had drowned him/her. Heaney purposely did this to entertain the readers curiosity and to produce a good product of
