traditionally women's work, is able to voice a longing for a stronger, prouder self. The tigers, in stark contrast to Jennifer, allows her to explore her need for freedom. In my view, even the rhythm gives the reader a hint that this is a battle cry as every stanza ends in heroic couplets, luring the reader to think of great epic tales. It is my belief, that this poem wishes to make the public aware of the patriarchal structures in the world and perhaps mostly this; that we should beware of the…

It is a privilege to speak to you today about the prominence of positive psychology in my latest novel, The Street Sweeper. Now, as I am sure you are aware, I am no psychologist and will admit that my focus in The Street Sweeper is society’s interconnectedness with history, not so much ensuring characters start the day off with a smile. However, I do base my characters…

1. In the writer opinion, why did he not like the Bixi bikes? Explain in a full paragraph. The author clearly stated that he did not like the Bixi bikes for several reasons.

It was once said, “The art of the storyteller is to hold the attention of the readers.” If a novelist is able to grab the attention of the readers, they can easily convey ideas and themes represented in the story successfully to its’ readers. For instance, Zora Neale Hurston is considered to be a brilliant writer, who has the ability to form a storytelling chain within her novels and to “render a world complete with its codes and disciplines within a few sentences” (Danticat). This is shown in…

does this by making every kiss perfect, no matter how many times he had to kiss her, he had to make it perfect. To express the tone of the work, Neil uses a major tone shift about half way through the poem, he shifts from his excitedly telling the reader about his love for this girl, how he wants to be there for her. He tells us that in the beginning of their relationship she embraced his oddities of asking her out over and over, organizing his food by color, carefully avoiding the cracks on the…

on purpose or on accident is besides the point because the focus is the fact that the film and novel are in fact different. This story is absolutely astonishing on so many accounts and the events that take place are almost overwhelming to the reader. The story begins with a group of boys in a helicopter that goes down over a tropical island. The plane being filled with teenage boys it is up to them to learn how to survive and it doesn’t take…

novel are unpredictable and are immediate (present tense) and not predetermined, that which has already happened. The unreliable narrator brings vital importance to the narration for the unreliability due to the absence of fact, which aids in the reader to express self-interpretation instead of definite closure.

To start off, Graff does a nice job incorporating an anecdote and pathos into Hidden Intellectualism. It appeals to feelings. In the first few sentences of his article it is easy to relate to his words. Although some people can relate to it, not everyone can. However he needs more logic in it. Anecdotes and pathos achieve sympathy, but he does not have enough facts in there in order to persuade someone to believe what he is saying. He lacks factual evidence which is an essential part of trying…
