Line break

audience interested, keep them tantalized with each line, until the final gasp of words at the very end. Enjambment is the continuation of lines, usually without punctuation marks, and can be used to surprise the audience with the turn of the next line. It can give a poem a natural and unpredictable flow that can be quite alluring. In Sharon Olds’ poem, “Poem of Thanks,” there are multiple enjambments and great examples of the craft for the purpose of keeping the reader captivated with the storyline. Specifically, for this annotation, I will focus on the beginning lines (1-3), the in between lines ending with pronouns/articles (7,10, 11, 12), and the last three lines (25-27). Olds’ poem is in 27 lines, 6 sentences, and in one stanza. The poem begins with the setting, “years later” and the speaker’s relationship status, “long single” in the first sentence. Quickly it shifts into introducing another speaker, a man who has left and whom the speaker wants to address, “I want to turn to his departed back,” (2). Here is the first example of well used…

in fact means another, the ending of a sentence without beginning another enjambment also calls special attention, as these are outlier lines. The first time this occurs is when the girl who the speaker is with chooses a piece of chocolate that costs more money than he has. In this line, "...And when she lifted a chocolate/ That cost a dime,/ I didn't say anything" (line 33-35). Soto ends the line with "I didn't say anything and does not continue the poem until the following line. This is a…

They share the same goal of redemption and equal inevitability of their failure. Dunya was the same objective to Svidrigailov as the superman theory to Raskolnikov. When either was faced with the failure of reaching their goal, they suffered a massive psychological breakdown. Their different perspectives on life drove them to choose different outcomes of their journeys. Svidrigailov would have rather died than spent life in prison. He was very egotistical and didn’t like to admit he was wrong,…

was at the event was that there were a lot of Asian youth. There were also more white women than men there. This shows that while the subculture was started by Black and Puerto Rican youth it has been expanding to all races and genders. I found this event very beneficial because it made me understand the culture in a way that reading about it could not. I got to see the dedication on every person 's face even when they were exhausted. I got to see the history passed down to the next generation…

and work alongside two wonderful musical pros in Deborah (Debbie) Gibson in Summer of Dreams and Jewel Kilcher in Framed for Murder. I found them both very friendly, open and curious about the work. I just felt very comfortable around them. And yeah, I got to work closely with John Schneider ("Bo Duke" of The Dukes of Hazard!) in Sandra Brown's: White Hot. I guess I really don't have any great "behind the scenes" tales to tell because I tend to just go to work and chit-chat between scenes.…

Mendes points out in “Mercy” that whenever he's around his ex, she still has a hold on him. She doesn’t “mean to hurt [him]”, but she “keeps tearing [him] apart”. This could go for you as well on the days you can't dodge seeing your ex at school or while out with friends. Dating someone in the friend group is hard because you both want things to stay the same, trying to avoid making even more changes in your life right now. Because it only takes one conversation to think back to when you were…

how they do it. Scholars have developed some theories that could be applied in the way communication is done in relationships. These theories could talk about couples coming together, their expectations of each other, or maybe about couples breaking up. The movie The Break-Up shows one kind of how relationships could go. The interpersonal relationship between Gary Grobowski (Vince Vaughn) and Brooke Meyers (Jennifer Aniston) was mostly showing breaking up stages. Many interpersonal…

his parents are people who hold a very special place in my heart for that and many other reasons. This year, it was exciting to get to chat with him again because he has actually won three awards for his portrayal of Cody in this wholesome and uplifting Hallmark Channel show. RH: Nice to get to talk to you again this year, Carter. CRE: Glad to talk to you too, Ruth. Remind me how old you are again, Carter. I'm ten years old. At the Joey Awards I keep thinking you guys are so much older.…

podcast and transcript, Adnan was a high school teenager, whose best friend is Jay. Adnan was the one that killed Hae which is his ex-girlfriend. A few days after Hae was killed, Adnan got sent to jail for his crime of murder. A detective named Sarah Koenig was investigating whether Adnan actually did killed Hae. When Sarah was listening to Jay when he was being interviewed by a police, he told 2 different stories which gave the police a lot of complications and a hint that he was hiding…

Hae and Adnan’s relationship was meant to be kept a secret from family and friends (friends meaning anyone who would relay the news to his parents). Once the break up took place, the prosecutor brought up the idea that Adnan felt betrayed, all because of Adnan’s religion? Adnan’s mother excused the court and jury of discrimination, because they are Muslim. During the trial on March 31, 1999, the ‘evidence’ or ‘argument’ made against Adnan was pulled from 2 other cases, nothing…
