hand in marriage?” “Why would I do that? The dragon is kind, and I have no wish to be involved in romance with anyone, much less marry them. I am from another kingdom, and all I beg for is a map.” “Come with me. We shall fly over this forest with my dear friend here, the dragon. Then we can spot your child from above.” Merla proclaimed. They took off on the dragon and Jasper gasped at the sheer power its wings had. Then she looked down and started to cry. Merla hugged Jasper, realising she was…

the years; now what remains is a rag-like-cloth with tears and holes. Although Chira has basically disintegrated, there is nothing else I have been able to hold on to, for as long as I managed to keep it. Losing Chira right now would be like losing a dear family member. The year we met is believed to be 2002. As my parents and little me were walking towards Vallarta Supermarket in the afternoon, I spotted a street vendor with a bag of pillows in the parking lot. And as strange and…
Dear City Council Member Mark Squilla, I’m writing to you today because of my concern about the way SEPTA runs. Many philadelphia citizens take public transportation daily. We trust that the system will get us to our destination. I have seen that recently over a couple of years that people feel angered by SEPTA. I think the anger comes from the delays, the detours, the wait time and the physical condition of the buses and trains. The buses are old and do not run very fast at times. The…

twice, but in two separate lines. In both instances, “dim” is used as an adjective to modify the children, but first, the “killed children” are dim, and next, the “dears” are dim. “Dim” is used in the same way, and yet, the meaning seems to change from one use to the next. “Dim killed children” is more blunt and condescending, while “dim dears” is full of pity and unconditional love for the children. In addition, the word “deliberate” is repeated twice in the same line, but first, it is used as…

Diction, essentially, is word choice. Suspense expressed through diction is found throughout Dahl’s short story, “The Landlady” and Poe’s short story, “The Tell-Tale Heart.” As portrayed in Dahl’s short story, “The Landlady,” “’How old are you, my dear?’ she asked. ‘Seventeen.’ ‘Seventeen!’ she cried. ‘Oh, it’s the perfect age! Mr. Mulholland was also seventeen. But I think he was a trifle shorter than you are, in fact I’m sure he was, and his teeth weren’t quite so white.’“ Dahl uses past tense…
The term soulmates has always flown about, scarf-like, through the whims of youth--as if tethered to some mythical upshot of the essence of life. But I know the truth. Oh, how they will tell tales of us, My Dear! How the pallid wash of grey-stone was enough to curse her alabaster heart. Perhaps they will liken me to a whisping strands of light caught thrashing against the estrangement of midnight. Oh, and in those stories she will be agile. One minute: a fragmented piece of daylight wrapped…
claims, stating that she is losing weight for her wedding and that she does not purge her food often, Gramma states, “They all said the same thing when they started dear. (...) You know what I would like to do? I would like to take you to a doctor. And we’ll talk it over and you can tell them” (Lines 98-103). When Gramma refers to Sissy as “dear,” she is confirming one of her own desired identities of being a supportive and loving parental figure in Sissy’s life. Through the use of this personal…
