Grammatical mood

Edgar Allan Poe used the literary device of setting to create a dark, threatening tone in his short story “Tell-Tale Heart” by using mood and atmosphere, population,and time/of day. Poe used mood and atmosphere to make the readers feel like if they were in the story. You can see this when he wrote”I had made an opening sufficient for my head, I put in a dark lantern, all closed, closed so no light shone out”(538:2). That is part of atmosphere setting because it contributes to the feeling of…

The translator made grammatical, syntactic and semantic changes due to the different structure of languages. Firstly, the word “trick” is translated with “stebuklas”. It is possible to use the literal translation of “trick”, but, in this case, it would sound rather odd in Lithuanian…

When comparing and looking at the two poems “Graded Paper” by Mark Halliday and “Learning to Read” by Frances E. W. Harper, you can see that the two are different in many ways. They are two poems from two very distinct time periods. The diverse elements and styles that are used in these poems make them unique in their own way. But, while they have different forms, subjects, word choices, and themes, their overall tones, while not exactly the same throughout the poems, can be seen as similar in a…

Hatshepsut has a human-like face. Hatshepsut looks like she is walking somewhere maybe either to an event or meeting. The figure is active because you can see that her left foot is forward while her other foot is backward, also the sculpture conveys a mood of seriousness. The pose of this figure shows that Hatshepsut is a leader and even though pharaoh's are typically male; she definitely proves that women can be strong leaders just as a man could. In my opinion, the face of the figure looks…

In a very dramatic monologue that is awash with humor and delivered in a characteristic Southern dialect, Eudora Welty a native of the South successfully brings a story spotted with various themes and moods. This is a story written in 1941 in the local setting of the small town China Grove, Mississippi. Delivered in the first person, the narrator plants some sense of empathy as the story begins but along the narration the reader gets to understand that the narrator is not of clean hands herself.…

Throughout Murray’s writing, he addresses the fact that a piece of writing is never finished. He ends his essays with a grammatical indication that a piece of writing will always have elements that are incomplete. Every piece writing is slave to the deadline, not allowing the writing to blossom into what it could be. He used it very cleverly at the end wrapping up his point…

career I have worked on many essays. I have, over the past four years, improved in a variety of ways. I have not only improved in my English writings, but also in my social studies, science and art writings. Also, I have become more efficient in my grammatical and my structural skills as well. Throughout high school I have improved my writing through class warmups to standardized tests. I have also learned and demonstrated that I am capable of producing well written papers and essays In the…

morning I listened to a podcast of an interview with an author and her writing process. She said that her first phase in writing is doing a “brain dump.” To her, this meant plugging in headphones and listening to inspiring music. This music set the mood for her to write her book, and she just let it all flow, not worrying about grammar or conventions. Inspired by her method, I tried it that night; I found a very meaningful playlist of music, plugged in my earbuds, and let it all flow onto the…

In writing a story, a certain level of theory and technicality must be applied to the narration. Narration is important as it controls the mood, direction and the "regulation of narrative information”, between the reader and the story (1980, p. 41). In the opinion of Gérard Genette, narration is essentially diegesis, in that it can achieve no more than an impression of mimesis by making the story appear real and alive to the reader. Narration can impersonate reality, it will always appear as…
