His ability to connect with the reader, use of a straightforward writing style, and his intriguing stories, are all components that affect the audience.

In this instance Hemmingway truly connects with his audience when he speaks about death and the difficulty of it. He knows that many people have this similar question and when he includes it in his writing he connects to the audience. We read about Hemmingway’s life in “Men’s Journal”, where we learn Hemmingway did not have a normal life. He went through many different experiences, which is why I believe he is able to …show more content…

    Why does Edmund Blunden imbue his memoir Undertones of War with irony? To understand the intent and extent of his stylistic choices, one has to understand the context of the work. Written following his experiences as a soldier during the First World War, Undertones of War was written as a recollection of Edmund Blunden’s personal experiences as a soldier. As a memoir, Blunden projects his own feelings and opinions into his writing, detailing both the emotions he felt in the moment of his experience as a soldier and those he felt while reflecting on the war. Instead a triumphant tale of heroism, the memoir is almost cynical and very down-to-earth, contradicting the uplifting genre of war writing which often seeks to put its heroes on god-like…

    Donald Murray meticulously developed and laid out ten writing habits he performs in order to hone in on his writing potential. After a self evaluation I came to the realization I possess similar to habits to those of Mr. Murray, but I also have my own. The habit of awareness and connecting seem to interconnect for me. The book How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster immediately came to mind. Foster discusses various interpretations of literature through quests, communion, themes, and of course symbols because “Everything is a symbol of something, it seems, until proven otherwise.”…

    In Timothy D. O’Brien’s criticism of Ernest Hemmingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants,” he concentrates mainly on how allusion and word play contribute to the central conflict of the short story. The story mainly consists of the dialogue between the American and Jig. The choice of the nickname Jig, along with the repetition of certain words such as “know” and “fine” stood out to me while reading the story. In addition to the word choice, the train never comes at the end of the story, leaving it open for interpretation. The O’Brian discusses these word choices in “Allusion, Word-Play, and the Central Conflict in Hemingway’s ‘Hills Like White Elephants’” used by Hemingway in “Hills Like White Elephants” play a huge part in the overall conflict…

    Tim O'Brien’s novel, The Things They Carried, eloquently (NR) demonstrates the theme of ‘beauty in horror’. The novel emphasizes this theme through the underlying foil between beauty and atrocities that are not uncommon in war stories. O'Brien focuses on the imagery of these events as well as the tone to illustrate the difficulties that soldiers are exposed to and how they have been conditioned to their situation to no longer see the horror in these horrific events rather start seeing them as beautiful events. The relevance of this theme is most prevalent in the short story, “How to Tell a True War Story.” This short story illustrates many different barbaric events that have been very beautifully illustrated.…

    While Rowlandson witnessed a war with armed conflict and lived for several months in this condition, Melville focuses more on a short but explosive outlet of violence when the slaves revolt and seize the ship. Describing an engagement leading to her capture, Rowlandson writes of the merciless slaughter of her friends and family: “Another there was, who, running along, was shot and wounded, and fell down; he begged of them his life, promising them money, as they told me, but they would not hearken to him, but knocked him on the head, stripped him naked, and split open his bowels” (Rownladson 236). Physical abuse is delivered without remorse: “Then they packed up their things to be gone, and gave me my load; I complained it was too heavy, whereupon she gave me a slap on the face and bid me be gone” (Rowlandson 244). The same physical abuse is scribed by Mercy Harbison as well in the personal narrative “Capture and Escape of Mercy Harbison”: “They then began to flog me with their wiping sticks, and to order me along. Thus what I intended as the means of my escape was the means of accelerating my departure in the hands of the savages” (“Captives Among the Indians”).…

    Ernest Hemingway employed what he called "the iceberg theory" when he wrote "Hills like White Elephants" and other stories. When you picture an iceberg, what you are seeing is only a small fraction of what is above the water. Most of the iceberg is hidden underwater. What may look like a small island of ice, in reality, could be a floating city, and you would never know unless you looked beneath the surface. When applied to writing, the iceberg theory gives you a small taste of what is going on in the story.…

    Good morning/afternoon ladies and gentlemen, today I am here to speak about the representation and treatment of the issue of Human Trafficking in a variety of different texts. Human Trafficking, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, is the act of ‘recruitment, transportation, transfer or harbouring of people’ by abduction or deception for the means of sexual exploitation, forced labour, slavery or organ removal. The three texts that I will be analysing will be Taken, a film by Pierre Morel. A New York Times magazine article by American filmmaker and journalist, Peter Landesman and a memoir by Solomon Northup, 12 Years A Slave.
