    The “Teresa DeBrito” chapter from Malcolm Gladwell’s David and Goliath connects the size of classes to learning and the amount of money to raising children. I believe that Gladwell did a great job in this essay and I agree with most of his points. An assumption I had before reading was that children who come from nothing have more drive then kids who are raised surrounded by wealth. The reason for my assumption is that I have heard/seen so many stories of people who’ve started from nothing and have became successful.…

    The Trials that Plague the Soul Misery loves company. This statement proves true when comparing the acclaimed works Yann Martel's Life of Pi, F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, and William Shakespeare's Hamlet, as all these classics contain the crucial element despair. Characters in the aforementioned novels and play, battle with deep despair and must sacrifice to survive in a world without loved ones to guide them. The characters are not the cause of their anguish, though it is the intense desire to change fate or unconscious change their being that is the fuel of their heartache.…

    Authors may use different types of literary devices to maintain the reader’s attention in a story. A metaphor, simile, flashback, imagery, and an allusion are all examples of literary devices that can be used in a story to keep the reader engrossed. Kate Chopin used literary devices in her story “Desiree’s Baby” which helped her contribute to the success of the story. Kate Chopin used imagery on paragraph 6 to describe L’Abri and explain why it is a sad place to visit. Imagery is a visual symbolism the author uses to capture the reader’s interest.…

    These literary devices allows the reader to create a better mental image of the things that they are reading about, in order to create a better overall connection to the story. The first effective use of literary devices occurs when the protagonist is describing her grandmother. She claims that “she was as dry and whiskery as the sausages, but in her it was natural because of her age” (Atwood, 3). This use of simile and hyperbole here allows the reader to create a good mental image of what the grandmother looks like, filling in the blanks with details they create themselves based on the over exaggerated description of the grandmothers age. Another clever literary device is used afterwards by the author when referring to what ailment the protagonist has.…
