Definite description

For my final genre, I decided to do another persuasive genre. Persuasive genres are really good when trying to capture an audience and make them really think about the topics that you bring to the table. However, for this persuasive genre I took a different approach and created A Top Six Reasons Why list. This list is targeted towards younger adults at least of voting age and older. I created this genre to help the audience be informed about all of the advantages that would come out of lowering…

consoling proximity of millionaires – all for eighty dollars a month” (6) Nick’s insignificance here is based on his financial status; it is only the fact that his place was “overlooked” by the wealthy that even allows it to stand. His initial description of Jordan Baker tells that she reclined “with her chin raised a little, as if she were balancing something on it which was quite likely to fall” (9). His euphonious language masks the inherent criticism of Ms. Baker. Nick is able to introduce…

formed when acceptance of an offer is met according to the CISG. As per Art14 Moonbeam clearly accepts Tang’s offer to purchase the hairdryers as Moonbeam’s intent to be bound is evident through agreeing to sell the hairdryers and is sufficiently definite - the quantity of 5,000 is specified and the price can be assumed as being included in the proposal, and it can be implied the parties made reference to the price generally charged for such goods. Acceptance…

“The Judge’s Wife” is set in a rustic Latin-American town that’s just large enough to have a town square, but small enough so that none of the town’s inhabitants are ignorant to the drama this story entails. Allende gives no explicit details about the town besides the fact that there is a courthouse, a bank, and a corner shop owned by a Turkish woman. Instead, she uses her adept skill of imagery to paint a picture of this town, a place that modern time has seemingly passed by. Modern time, that…

see a shift from concrete imagery to abstract as she reveals that the entire journey described in the previous stanzas was nothing, but a memory. It was not until the final stanza that the narrator hinted that she was, in fact, dead. The vivid descriptions of her journey to death demonstrate how memorable her death was to her. In “Because I could not stop for Death,” Emily Dickinson found a unique mold to conjure focus on a selection of figurative language to display an uncommon perspective on…

the transition to the final stanza. Without even starting a new sentence, the poem shifts back into reality, describing the sound of the shovel, the auditory imagery reverberating. Although the “small plants [sing]/with lifted faces,” Reality takes definite control of the poems finale. The final line of “Picnic, Lightning” culminates with, “as one hour sweeps into the next.” Yes, the gardening man is capable of dreaming of absurd situations, but the certainty of the “click/ of the sundial”…

not. In prison, Meursault starts to develop and understand his own beliefs. He understands that there is no way out of prison, which symbolizes that there is no way out of life. All humans are doomed. Every human will inevitably die. It is a definite fact that cannot be changed. Thus, there is no meaning to life if all people die. The world is irrational. The policeman who saw Raymond decides that it is sufficient to give a warning to a man who commits a completely immoral act. The…

Alex Brogan Dual English 12 Honaker 3/14/17 Billy Collins’s poem “My Number” and “Death Be Not Proud” by John Donne presents Death in action. Death’s description is suggestive of personification. Throughout the entirety of each poem, each author has his specific way of writing, but they personify Death to be something bigger than it truly is. These poems share a common theme in that it takes an assertive stand against mortality. It makes the paradoxical statement that mortality is itself mortal…

However, the problem with both categories is that they contradict each other. For the first category, a straight reading of The Turn of the Screw, one should refer to the governess’s accurate description of Quint without ever seeing him in person as evidence proving the legitimacy of the ghosts’ existence (James, 48). In addition, one can look outside of the short story to discover that James, in fact, believed in ghosts; “James unquestionably knew…

In addition, in the article “The Gangster as Tragic Hero”, Robert Warshow, the authors, listed many descriptions to explain the gangster was a tragic hero. Warshow said that “So his activity becomes a kind of pure criminality: he hurts people.”(14) Usually, the gangsters hurt people for different…
