    Punctuation in Natasha Trethewey’s “Myth” What’s the difference between a period and comma? When reading aloud, one might take a breath at a comma, and take a slightly longer pause at a period. But really, who cares about distinguishing a small speck and a slightly elongated speck on a page? In Natasha Trethewey’s “Myth,” however, you’ll find that the almost exhaustive list of substitutions she makes in the second part of the poem makes it read completely differently than the first – which is surprising, as the poem, in essence, is structured as a palindrome!…

    The loss of a loved one will make someone go through many if not all the stages of grief. In How to Touch a Bleeding Dog, by Rod Kessler there is an indirect message behind the text, in which a man has become a widower with his wife Beths dog as a remembrance of her. Despite how much the man seemed to love his wife, he does not feel the same about her dog that she has left behind. The dog plays a minor role is the story, as it is more directed towards Beth. It is obvious to the reader that the narrator has not yet accepted reality, gone beyond through the idea that the dog to the man is more of a burden then a companion; a “responsibility”, and seen through when the dog gets into an accident, becoming the description of loneliness and the effect of loss.…

    Angelika Kurnosenko The Stomach and Members This particular fable is really outstanding, because it has been interpreted in varying political contexts over the centuries. From my understanding of the plot I see that it concerns a dispute between the stomach and the hands and feet. Obviously, the stomach gets all of the food refusing to supply the rest of the body with the energy. Apparently, it is the reason of the conflict in which the other members of the body see sense when they realize that they are weakening themselves.…

    When a reader views texts in perspective, he or she draws on the words, characters and their actions while viewing the content personally. Drawing on religious motifs and ideas, Alice Sebold presents a remarkable, complex, and comforting vision of heaven, as the platform from which Susie Salmon was raped and murdered; by a neighbor at the age of fourteen. Heaven indeed has many “mansions,” one of which is the “wide wide Heaven,” which can provide one’s every desire. The powerful Deity also grants omniscience to the narrator. The word Susie’s grandfather has for the dominant quality of this heaven is “comfort,” and oddly comforting, indeed, is Alice Sebold’s novel because the text postulates a vision of heaven.…

    Your analysis of Andrew Wyeth's Christina's World, regarding scale and proportion was interesting to read. According to our class reading this week, Professor Tessier explained that “proportion is the size of a part in relation to the whole” (Tessier, 2017). You mentioned proportion in the painting regarding Christina being the largest object in the art work. My observation regarding proportion in this artwork was the vast size of the field in relation to the distance between Christina and the small farmhouse. My interpretation of the vast field was that, Andrew Wyeth wanted to create a sense of isolation between Christina and the farmhouse.…
