Under Gound Series: Terrence Analysis

Decent Essays
Terrence is part of a group of short story collection called The Under Gound Series.
This story is a little over halfway through the series. Therefore, in the beginning, the author gives you descriptions of organizations and places that are explained in previous stories and also tells who the characters are from the other books which is very helpful. This is longer than any other short stories that I have read with one hundred and fifty-four pages. Consequently, I found it strange how the main plot is constructed out of a bunch of short stories. Whereas, the book was not hard to follow it didn’t contain much depth having more of a meager intensity. Though I found the story to be mediocre it incorporated some intriguing creativity within how

    The characters are greatly drawn, greatly executed and most of them have a decent background information. Other than explaining the introduction of the primary characters that appears in the beginning, I’m not well-versed on explaining all the characters in general without spoiling, and all I can say is that the warrior are all beauties haha. The story start of with a primary characters and one of most powerful Pandora known as Satellizer L. Bridget the untouchable queen, and another collaborating primary character who is Aoi Kazuya, a limiter that has an affection for Satellizer.

    Alice Walkers “ Everyday Use”, is a story about a family of African-Americans that are faced with moral issues involving what true inheritance is and who deserves it. Two sisters and two hand stitched quilts become the center of focus for this short story. Walker paints for us the most vivid representation through a third person perspective of family values and how people from the same environment and upbringing can become different types of people. This encounter, which takes place when Dee (the only member of the family to receive a formal education) and her male friend return to visit Dee’s mother and younger sister Maggie, is essentially an encounter between two different approaches to African-American culture. Walker highlight the importance…

    The prose from ‘Don’t Let’s Go To The Dogs Tonight’ by Alexandra Fuller is full of imagery that makes the reader understand the characters better, as well as the situation that the characters are in. The author uses eloquent language to support the imagery in the text. Her usage of language helps us get a broader view of what the characters are like and how these characters form a family, we also get a perspective of the business that this family is working in and how they are in a way discriminated by looks, a farmer differing from a buyer. And how the tobacco business is hard from the perspective of the farmers. The three major things that I have noticed while reading this prose was that there is a great amount of imagery, the characters…

    Last Stop on Market Street is an award winning picture book about a little black boy called CJ and his grandmother who take the bus to work at a soup kitchen after church on Sundays. The author uses words and phrases very effectively within this book to really paint a picture of the city and it's people. At the beginning of this book the author uses figurative language to describe the air as smelling 'like freedom, but it also smelled like rain' this phrase goes a long way in identifying the setting as being beautiful and open, in addition, it also indicates the rain had just begun (Tunnell, 2015, p.18). Another example of the author using a phrase to tell the reader a lot of information is when CJ's Nana tells CJ that the tree's are drinking through a straw. CJ is aid to look for some time for a straw to no avail, the author uses this short passage to tell us that CJ is young and…

    Short Story Expansion Defining a short story can be difficult, there does not seem to be any particular formula. Without a concrete formula can a short story, therefore be limited because of its brevity? Upon reading the selections this semester from our text, it is my opinion that short stories can be expanded on. (Gwynn) Although short stories are written and drawn from a single situation or incident, there beneath the short story lies a vast volume waiting to be written.…
