Dwell

stop to fix anything until the very end. When I finished writing, I looked for mistakes. I’ve learned over the years that writing is a lot easier when you stop focusing on achieving perfection. I still concentrate on the task at hand, but I don’t dwell on every little detail being superlative. It’s futile to stop and check every single sentence to make sure that everything is flawless. Writing isn’t about being right or wrong.…

The Romantic writers of the late eighteen century and early nineteen century later called Romanticism writers borrowed their images and structure from the Christian religious cannon. This is because the Christian religion has influenced the western civilization and swallowed other rival religions (Northrop Frye 2009: 34). Furthermore, most of the Romantic writers that fall into this category are sons and daughters of the clergy and therefore influenced by the Christian religious dogma (Rosen…

CLASSICAL ETHOS AND NETWORKED TEXTS Viewed in the colloquial definition of “credibility,” ethos is easily construed as simply the collected sum of the actions performed by a rhetor in their past.. While this view may be consistent with much of modernist rhetorical theory, Holliday (2009) argues that returning to pre-modern conceptions of ethos provides a much richer, and more rhetorically attuned understanding of the term. Halloran (1982) argues that the most concrete meaning for the term in…

In the book The Bondage Breaker the author begins to break down the root of what holds and keeps people in captivity. Breaking this hold is not only achievable, but needful in order to have a health spiritual life. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. He explains that the reasons for so many roadblocks to spiritual growth, lies in the…

For almost a hundred years, the American servicemen had spawned generations of children in Asia. In the Philippines, Japan, Korea, and throughout Southeast Asia, tens of thousands of Amerasian children fathered by American soldiers were left behind. Indeed, the leftover of human action and the consequence is tragic. Trapped between two nations, neither of which accepts, acknowledges, or ratifies them; the Amerasians face the bleakest moments of life. They live in extreme poverty and are…

“The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak is a book that had many quotes and messages that were true about life and made me appreciate what I have. There was one quote that left a big impact on me, which was, “She was one of the few that made me wonder what it was to live,” (Zusak, The Book Thief). Since this quote was narrated by Death, I have a different understanding of it. At first, I thought this quote meant that because Liesel had gone through a lot, Death wondered what it would feel like to be…

The mise-en-scene is everything that goes into the frame, such as: color, props, costumes, setting, lighting, etc. The costumes of the film establish a time period and express the spirit of the small-town community that dwells in the island. An example of this is Captain Sharp. He is almost always in uniform throughout the film. His black and white attire with glasses and a slicked back hairstyle are a realistic outfit for the 1960’s, and shows a common stereotype of the dutiful, well-meaning…
