Author Harper Lee writes in the famous novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, that, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.” Indeed, point of views are not only important in life, but also important when a reader reads a story, for different point of views could give readers and the story different effects. In these two short stories, “Eleven” and “The Cask of Amontillado”, both author uses first person point of view to each give the readers an opportunity…

The poem starts out with an introduction to the speaker. The speaker in the beginning of Marilyn Nelson’s “Clay” is a third person observer. The author presents the speaker to us by naming Carver as a character in the poem and referring to Carver by his name, rather than forming the poem from his narrative view. Additionally, you can infer that the poem is narrated by a third person view because Marilyn Nelson’s speaker in “Clay” describes how the Earth’s features appear to Carver. The…

In this First Page of a Novel, I tried to use both direct and indirect characterization to kind of introduce the readers to the situation and kind of an idea of the main characters. I also tried to subtly let them in on the behavior, the mind set and language of the second narrator. I tried to show that the narrator was kind of humorous possibly a teenager with the statement “I apologize profusely for whatever boring narrative he has tortured you with” which kind of shows how moody all teenagers…

The passage “The Interrogators” is a short extract from “Our Flowers & Nice Bones”, written by Christopher Middleton. It describes a cold, isolated village, apparent suffering from the aftermath of conflict. The village is likely in a Northern, Eastern-European country, due to its weather and inhabitants. The passage follows two interrogators and their search for a secret thought to be kept by the town. Their goal is met with resistance from the residents. This resistance is due to obvious…

As a part of rhetorical strategies, ethos is every author’s best friend when it comes to establishing credentials in argumentation works. The purpose of ethos is to build credibility when it comes to persuading audiences to accept an argument that might be opposed to their own beliefs. In the essay “Hiroshima Diary,” Doctor Michihiko Hachiya explained about an atomic bomb that dropped on the city of Hiroshima in 1945. He recalls and described the horrors that followed it through his own…

effective system. In capitalism, a product is dominated by the capitalist, and thus making the goods be a part of social production rather than an individual appropriation. (Engels, 99) Social order is greatly influenced by the capitalist mode of production and the mode of exchange. Capitalism is the product of historical materialism, which is how the basic principles of production came to be and hence came the realm of free competition, freedom of movement, equal rights of commodity…

According to John Frow “the commodity form is a social relationship and a commodity is anything that is governed by it.” (Frow, 132) The history of capitalist mode of production is the history of commodity form as stated by Frow. He also clears the fact that “capital constantly seeks to force all use-values to submit to the commodity form and to convert simple commodity production to capitalist commodity wherever and whenever it can.” (Frow, 134), However, people tried to resist the extinction…

it has engulfed the world in a sea of media advertisements, consumer goods, and cultural expectations. Institutions, social practices, and capitalism have developed and solidified the consumerist culture in America in order to feed the capitalist mode of production. This can be seen throughout American history as laissez-faire capitalism became the dominant system the in the US as the…

the six-DOF coupling motion of rigid bodies in 3-D space [7]. The authors in [8] employed dual quaternions representation to derive the coupled dynamics of relative motion in spacecraft formation. Based on the proposed model, a finite-time sliding mode controller is developed which ensures the finite-time convergence of tracking errors. They also present a finite-time adaptive sliding model controller with adaptation laws to account for model uncertainties and external disturbances which drive…

According to Marx there are always two things going on simultaneously in the capitalist mode of production. There are three different duality components. The first component, the duality of use value and value is where the rest of the components derive from. Use value is the intrinsic component to a commodity that it has been predisposed to. It is a qualitative value because it consists of the specific qualities that the commodity has and since each commodity has different use-values one…
