1st Diary Entry: Ma’s perspective (His first encounter with the Little Chinese Seamstress)
Explanation Paragraph:

As the warped wooden door creaked open, we were exposed to a mass of informality, splintering wooden beams, laden with dust that had gathered over time, watched cautiously over us, as we ambled wearily into the unknown. The distant murmur of a sewing machine resonated, as it reached our ears, humbled by this subjection to primitive technology that subtly reminded us of a distant world of inquiry. A world, we once knew, yet somehow now ceases to exist.

I let my eyes wander and deliberate the textures and vibrant tones, that unintentionally irritated my raw eyes, sensitive only to the sombre colours, that stained my memories; working in the harsh fields, carrying hods of excrement, and sleeping above farm animals, what was to be of my life? I pondered, however, I pondered no longer, for in my eye’s haste to retreat from the

To its joyous content, I imitated, fascinated. I could see her eyes in the glistening pebbles, her smile in the bowed branches swaying from side to side. Her laughter in the unsettled wind, I chased after it... After her, however to now avail, she followed Luo and only Luo... “I Love you...” But my words were swept onto the horizon due to the lack of indignation, that caused my voice to quiver and shake like the strings of my beloved violin, and tears of true tristesse, for she could never be mine, It would be easier to attempt to catch a cloud with your feeble fingers, or hold on to a moonbeam in your hands. Even the, though, our love was impossible, I will always be eager to be at her side in a situation of anxiety or great distress, not matter the

    Compare how the consequences of a conflict are shown in Mametz Wood and one other poem from ‘Conflict’. In both Mametz Wood and Poppies, the poets manage to show the consequences of conflict in both similar, and different, ways. Owen Sheers reaches back into history in order to retell the events of World War I, whereas Jane Weir’s Poppies is a much more emotional take on the outcomes of conflict.…

    Hi! My name’s Cliff! I’m a pretty friendly person, if I do say so myself, I promise ☺. I just want to apologize in advance for anything stupid, or pathetic that I put in this diary. I don’t really think this whole diary thing is even a good idea, but my mom thought writing down my feelings would be beneficial for my transition to high school.…

    There was a time When a free sun ran across cobalt And fields of lavender drifted o’er canopies of emerald trees To dissolve into the sky; wisps diluting sapphire to amethyst While radiance transformed our eyes in a flurry of colors Into shards of light, revolving around an epicenter of solid fixation And we spent hours staring; eyes glistening in fascination With not a care in the world Like Noah who sent a dove to bring back hope We were at peace with calm Not a matter to worry Nor a worry in mind Peacefully, Blissfully Then as time wove its tapestry in whirlwinds of flashes…

    In his poems Dulce et Decorum est and Futility, Wilfred Owen uses a range of ideas, forms and language to influence responders and create meaning about war as an experience of human calamity, waste and idiocy. It is pointless and disgraceful and its influence on individuals is captured powerfully by Wilfred Owen. His personal participation and eventful death in WWI adds a stark truth to the tragedy and waste of potential of youth. Owen knew all too well that war defaces men physically and emotionally and that unnecessary death and emotional instability waste the futures of individuals. He intensely criticises the foolishness of propaganda and human pride in causing men to promote and see war as glorious.…

    Can you remember a day in your life where the colors or lack of colors seemed to seize your eye’s attention, the pigments formulating a specific story that dances on your retina? To a normal person, this may seem a little strange to have the colors tell a “story”, but not for Liesel Meminger, a 10 year old girl whose perceptiveness and mind will make you question her age. “The sky is blue today, Max, and there is a big long cloud and it’s stretched out like, like a rope. At the end of it, the sun is like a yellow hole…” (Zusak 249).…

    John Frederick Nims’ “Love Poem” is a poem describing someone he loves. The first line of the poem, “My clumsiest dear, whose hands shipwreck vases”, at first may be interpreted as the start of some form of insult. This line also intrigues the reader to continue and explore what Nims has to say about his “dear”. Though the poem begins by depicting some negative attributes that his love possesses, Nims doesn’t forget to describe her positive attributes, “Only with words and people and love you move at ease”. Overall the poem uses different elements of poetry to portray the idea that although his “dear” has many imperfect qualities, he loves her despite of them all.…

    Part Two: Symbolism Elements are the building blocks of a piece of literature. Without them, the work ceases to hold meaning, emotion, and intrigue. In regard to Poe, the lack of elements results in the absence of the Unity of Effect, which would therefore make the work pointless and the intent not original to Poe. However, Poe masterfully pieces together elements, specifically symbols, in his works in order to gain the strongest possible reaction from his readers.…

    Shakily, I breathe in. Retreating from the room where voices are hurled at one another like bullets, I find solace in the kingdom of clothes. The clothing dryer hums and heaves, radiating heat. I like it here, even if it is not far enough to drown out the sound of a war waged only by spoken word.…

    All the way through this short story there is a very evident theme of death and a notable presence of foreshadowing in regards to the fate of the family. Reading through the story the first time the forewarning is not as evident, however, upon the second read through there are items that stand out that can alert the reader to the impending doom of the family. The first theme that struck me was the color within the story, from the very beginning O’Connor puts great emphasis on colors. Green, orange, blue, gray, silver, white, and of course red. As the story progresses, there is less and less color, and all you are left with is red.…

    Journal Entry 1 – To be graded on Act 2 is a very long act, with 9 scenes. Hence in this journal entry, I will be focusing on Act 2, Scene 1. Act 2, Scene 1 – Upon his entrance, the Prince of Morocco’s initial words to Portia are “Mislike me not for my complexion, the shadowed livery of the burnished sun”. From how he is immediate to tell her not to hold his skin color against him, we can interpret that many people have judged him harshly because of his complexion and this can be compared to how Shylock is being judged harshly because of his identity as a Jew. We can also see that he is expecting her to hold prejudices against him based on his skin color.…

    Even a century long time after his death, Wilfred Owen is still famous for his war poetry written during World War 1. In his poem, Owen uses various language techniques to vividly illustrate the horrendous reality of the war. Hence, he communicates his own anti-war feelings implied beneath his techniques. However, although he is now known as an anti-war poet, for once, he had been a naive boy, who had volunteered to fight in war. At first, he was thrilled to fight for one’s country.…
