Finding Ruby
I extremely found Greenhill's lecture is useful and interesting, especially with regard to how I research when doing my research essay assessment. In order to point out how the language system works on what we need to suit the context, which is including the historical and period texts. It takes time to think about the context and applying the appropriate language will definitely makes my research more productive.

When people seen an image, it was hard to defined and the voices are largely silent. Ruby Fairbridge's story is a good example to support this idea in

    Anyone can have an outstanding story to tell, but in writing it can only be manipulated into a work of art with the use of narration. Narrating a story from first person has created the most enjoyable stories. “The Norton Sampler had a wonderful selection of narratives that fell under this category. I enjoyed the structure and layout of Thomas Beller’s “Ashen Guy” and most of Mary Bebane’s “The Back of the Bus.” The two essays gave a decent depiction of the event(s) that occurred.…

    In my analysis, I will focus on two different essays; Be Specific by Natalie Goldberg and Killing the Written Word by Snippets by Naomi S. Baron. The list of things that Goldberg uses in her writing has a purpose to show the reader the many names objects have, and to give the reader a better understanding why it is so important to call things by their real names. Baron argues that when students rely on sound bites instead of full articles and books in their research, they lose the ability to analyze. In “Be specific” Goldberg writes about how knowing the names of people and things are important. So, people are more aware of their surroundings and feel more connected to the people around them.…

    I have chosen Question One: Emile Bronte’s Wuthering Heights discuss how an attention to figurative language can help in an analysis of literary texts as I enjoyed reading the text and the many qualities that made it such an enjoyable read. When we read something we usually take it as it is but that is exactly what figurative language is not. When we read certain expressions or words with a different meaning it is known as figurative language which is different from literal interpretation. Figurative language goes beyond the meanings of the words that we read which give us, the readers a greater insight into the piece. There are many types of figurative language such as symbolism, metaphors and similes which are all seen in Emily Bronte's 'Wuthering…
