    In "Fish Story" by Rick Bass, the element that I think that is an effective aspect of the story is the point of view element. The story is written from the first person point of view. The author, Rick Bass skillfully describes a fishing expedition in Texas in the 1960s when he was ten years old. Bass has a vivid imagination to describe the process of this story with such detail. One of his father's customers caught an eighty-six-pound catfish and since he was already in debt to Bass' father and didn't have the money, he gave up the fish.…

    If you were asked what the difference between college writing and career writing was, a few ideas might come to mind. For starters, your occupation, excluding those which revolve around analyzing literature, will more than likely never require you to compose an essay on the difference between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Or, whenever your employer requires you respond to a letter sent by a customer, you're very unlikely to receive a grade for the assignment. And yet, while other differences may arise, you may discover that much of what you've been taught on writing in school will still play a large part in your career. For starters, whether you're convincing your professor that Beauty and the Beast is a tale of Stockholm syndrome, rather than…
