    Sunday night, after trying to be productive all day, I finally sit down and put my hands on the keyboard, and start typing the essay that I should have started a couple days ago. Yeah, you can call me a procrastinator, and I admit that. I have never been good at writing essays. Even if it’s just a small paragraph of summary, it will usually take me much longer to finish it. One reason is it just takes me forever to figure out what I want to write about. I can be writing about rocket science…

    1.) This poem by Emily Dickinson describes the scene and atmosphere when someone is dying. The speaker’s final moments of life are portrayed as somber and quiet, so quiet that the speaker can evidently hear a “fly buzz,” which is a type of onomatopoeia and helps to emphasize the silence of the room. Another figurative devise that is employed to further establish the overwhelming silence is the use of a simile when comparing the stillness between the “heaves of storm” which would be relatively…

We all have a place like this, that escapes us from our reality and problems I enter the stadium, through a secret door, sometimes it squeaks the screws must be poor. The air is thin with an awful smell, so I hold my nose trying not to inhale. Green, black and white are the only colors I see, on every locker next to me.

    Looking at the Humanistic theory gets me really interested. Taking a survey on how we perceive our personality is a way to evaluate ourselves personally. From extroversion, orderliness, emotional stability, accommodation and inquisitiveness are all important factors in knowing how to balance them out. Especially having to famine a profession as a counselor, helping others without knowing who you are can get a bit tangled. It’s almost like the saying “if you don’t know what you stand for, you…

    Metaphors compare two unlike things to create the feeling of a large force. Imagery appeals to the sensory experience of sight to create the feeling of infinity and describes pleasant items that the speaker resides in. Rhyme places emphasis on couplets and make the words flow easier.
