    Analysis Of T. C. Boyle's Caviar

    Essay 1: Close Reading Blood Money Anyone with even a modicum of experience with writing has experienced the struggle of formulating an introduction and conclusion for their work. Stronger writers will ensure both the beginning and end add significance to a composition; neglecting to do so will often lead the reader to feel dissatisfied, confused, or critical. Articles are still being written about the controversial ending of the acclaimed television series The Sopranos, despite concluding nine years ago (Evans). Unlike The Sopranos, one does not need over three days total runtime for a conclusion to impact the thoughts of a consumer; similar rigor is found in the authoring of short stories.…

    Pathos In Juror 8

    A writer’s sense of satisfaction originates not from his or her completion of a piece, but from his or her technical expertise. Writers whom develop subtle, yet remarkable symbols or use syntax to reveal a character’s opinion or personality, are what every other writer aspires to be. For this reason, many writers are impressed by Reginald Rose because he uses syntax to convey the pathos, ethos, and logos of individual jury members as they discuss, argue, and debate the merits of the presented case. Typically, people present the facts behind their reasoning in short, simple sentences; likewise, people persuade their audience by utilizing compound sentences.…

When Dillard first mentions the fact that she lives alone with her cat, “I joke to her blank face, Do you remember last night? Do you remember?” (1).

    Transformation Of The Monster In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

    In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley talks about a monster, who transforms from an innocent individual to an evil person at the end. The entire story revolves around the monster and his creator, who abandons the monster at the time of monster’s creation. Furthermore, the society rejects the monster and this rejection changes the harmless being to a harmful creature. Thus, Shelly comments on the idea of human nature being learned and not innate through her tale of the monster. I strongly believe Mary Shelley’s portrayal of the monster in the story depicts human transformation based on their experience in the society.…

    Reciprocity Of Speech In Henry James Brooksmith

    Henry James’ Brooksmith is the narration by an unnamed character about his experiences with a servant names Brooksmith during and after his conversations with Brooksmith’s master Mr Offord. In the story, Brooksmith starts off as more of a background character to the narrators and Mr. Offord’s conversations. But as the story goes on, Mr.Offord becomes ill, ultimately bringing Brooksmith into the story’s spotlight. Later on in the story we see the death of Mr.Offord, and then begins the decline of Brooksmith that will lead to his speculated death.
