Both Audubon and Dillard use syntax to describe the birds, but each use it in their own way. Audubon was effective in using syntax, because the amount of detail incorporated in the passage kept the reader engaged and interested. Also, the use of longer sentences and formal vocabulary makes the reader feel like Audubon is a very credible writer, giving them a sense of trust. Dillard was effective in using syntax by slightly describing the birds themselves, but focused more on what occurred while…

Rhetoric Analysis After analyzing the following videos, I must start by addressing that in my opinion they convey humor in a unique way, not undermining the fact that said videos are taken from real history. As this is my first time watching Drunk History, and the two first videos are from that show. I must say, that I found these videos to be very comical and educational at the same time. One thing they all have in common are words, that are most likely used in a conversational and drunken…

it also adds a substantial emotional element to what would otherwise be a droll historical recounting. The pain, passion, and even the conversational simplicity which can be seen in Black Hawk’s account of American history makes it impossible for a reader to be unable to connect with the story and the all too real sufferings within his autobiography. Throughout this book, Black Hawk offers a fairly accurate description of numerous historical events and battles in which he was involved. However,…

Typically when looking at literature a writer’s purpose is not so black and white more often than not a piece is crafted using a culmination of subtleties to persuade a reader without the writer having to blatantly state his or her opinion. Such is the case in “The Heist at Harry’s”; a New York Times article by Doreen Carvajal. Over the course of the article Carvajal uses varying forms of rhetoric as she examines the robbery of the Harry Winston jewelry store. A heist that was committed by none…

Experience have been read in tandem since they were first published together in 1794, it can be easy to overlook that Songs of Innocence was once a work that stood on its own. However, looking at Songs of Innocence as an individual work allows the reader to step back from its role as a comparison to Songs of Experience. This separation makes the inherent dark themes in Songs of Innocence more difficult to ignore. One of those themes presents itself in failing fathers, both natural and divine. To…

Maupassant, I provided attention to the female protagonists thought process because I believed the female outlook on issues should be represented, even if they’re in fictional stories. One instance of giving readers a peek into feminine issues is in “The Story of An Hour” when Mrs. Mallard realizes her sensation she feels following her husband’s death is joy. I wrote “she saw beyond that bitter moment a long procession of years to come that would belong to her…

In most cases in literature the narrator tends to be the protagonist of the story, to which they essentially play an important role.This most often than not leads to an important lesson that brings the character to an epiphany, a sudden intuitive perception into reality of something initiated by a common occurrence or experience. He/she has to or have already gone through a quest that completely changes the protagonists perceptions to which in these stories creates a "hero". In the stories A&P…

In society, people are constantly searching for their identity and where they belong. They ask themselves questions like “Who am I?’ or “What am I doing here?”. The relatability of the topic is why authors typically use it to engage the readers and make the readers feel closer and more connected with the narrator. When it comes to identity, sometimes human beings default to what they know or what is easiest rather than accepting who they are. In James Weldon Johnson’s The Autobiography of an…

Interpretive literature is used to widen our perspective of reality in which the writer “shapes and forms them always with the intent that we may see and understand them better.” In which the discriminating reader “takes deeper pleasure in fiction that deals with life.” The two stories that have been read, Identities by W.D. Valgardson and Miss Brill by Katherine Mansfieldf compares the lives of our two protagonists, where one is a rich middle aged man who is roughly in his thirty’s, adventuring…
