    When I write,I try to capture in words, the half etched thoughts, the unformed silences ,the vaguely understood swirl of emotions all entangled with and undifferentiated from the chaotic images that flash and disappear. When I visualize, I try to capture,in images this time, those half etched thoughts, those unformed silences,those vaguely understood swirls of emotions entangled with and undifferentiated from the chaotic words that flash and disappear. An image, that has never been a word before except vaguely, while it was evolving in the mind, or, a word that has been an image only in the same conditions, stands by itself as the first representation of a reality(or fantasy) that has till then seen only the world of the mind from which it evolved. It is individualistic, unique and beyond judgement , like a new born baby.…

    For example, in the story Junior says, “I could hear the white girls forced vomiting, a sound so familiar and natural to me after years of listening to my father’s hangovers” (177). As a reader it is through those words like vomiting and hangovers that create a visual representation of ideas in the mind of the reader. When the author speaks of feelings, they are presented poeticly or in a dramatic way, he uses short and true words, which makes the feelings seem to be real. Another way that short sentences have an effect on how the author demonstrates the feelings that a specific character is going through is the sentence, “In third grade, though I stood alone in the corner, faced the wall, and waited for the punishment to end…

    Gansberg was aware of the effect emotions have on people and used well-crafted sentences to persuade them to his opinion. Throughout the article, there are strong verbs that create images in the readers mind, and bring forth emotions. “I’m dying” (Gansberg) was said three times in the article and “he stabbed me” (Gansberg) was said twice. The way the author uses the emotional words creates images and feelings that the reader would not have experienced without the strong word…

    Because everyone differs from one another, each person’s opinions and interpretations of everyday events will vary based on how the information is perceived. These differences are especially noticed when reading and analyzing works of literature. Poems, for example, often lead to an audience with very different interpretations of the meaning being conveyed. Although Natasha Trethewey’s poem, “Artifact,” is a rather simply structured and straightforward poem, the connotations of the diction can cause a reader’s interpretation to be completely different than the poem’s intended meaning.…

    Their Eyes Were Watching God - Language: Instrument of Injury and Salvation There’s no doubt that words are able to boost someone’s confidence, but words also have the power to strip away that confidence. Words that are spoken out loud, or even written on paper have the ability to affect how people feel about themselves and the world. Similarly, in the novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, by Zora Neale Hurston, the theme of language in an injurious way is evident when Joe Starks yells at Janie about her age, but language is shown as a tool of salvation when Tea Cake reassures Janie of his love, as well as in the end when Tea Cake tells Janie she’s young at heart.…

    The only accurate way to describe Frau to someone is to compare her to one of those extremely long french fries from McDonald’s that are exceedingly rare and odd compared to the rest of the batch. Her demeanor while she walked was that of a wet Kraft macaroni noodle, and her hands always found their way to their favorite resting place where her body slightly curved out a perfect indentation where they could sit while she greeted the class, “Guten Morgen, Klasse! Wie geht’s euch heute?”. She wore dress pants every day, but her shirts always differed—never yellow— and revealed the liver spots scattered across her chest and neck.…
