the conclusion that although this life path is the reality of many poor kids who get a public school it does not accurately depict the life of every poor kid who goes to public school. Spiro uses some really engaging writting techniques to get the reader fully enthralled and engaged with his…

In my opinion, Frost’s statement about his poetry does accurately reflect his poems as they all contain both a literal and a metaphorical meaning. This can clearly be seen in al of Frost’s poems that I have studied which include, “The Tuft of Flowers”, “Mending Wall”, “The Road Not Taken”, “Out, Out- “, “Spring Pools” and “Aquatinted with the Night”. In all six of these poems a message is conveyed both directly and indirectly. Frost uses everyday, ordinary people, living normal lives as the…

In the book Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor, Stacey Logan is trying to figure out who should be a better friend, TJ, or Jeremy. Stacey should be friends with Jeremy because T.J. lies constantly, doesn’t take responsibility for his actions, and he takes advantage of others. First of all, it can be true that Jeremy may not be trustworthy. But, it is easy to recall that TJ can be caught lying multiple times throughout the book. The text states, “When we got outside. T.J.…

traditionally women's work, is able to voice a longing for a stronger, prouder self. The tigers, in stark contrast to Jennifer, allows her to explore her need for freedom. In my view, even the rhythm gives the reader a hint that this is a battle cry as every stanza ends in heroic couplets, luring the reader to think of great epic tales. It is my belief, that this poem wishes to make the public aware of the patriarchal structures in the world and perhaps mostly this; that we should beware of the…

Literary devices are used to connect with the reader. When we read, we want to connect to the story in a way to better understand. To truly enjoy what is written we need to become a character in the story and literary devices help us to see and feel the storyline which captures all of our senses in a way to take us to the place, either mystical or historical, futuristic or present time that makes the story relevant to the reader. These devices draw the reader in, paint a picture, heighten the…

“You never know the connections between things, people, places, ideas. But there are connections” (100) Good morning everyone! It is a privilege to speak to you today about the prominence of positive psychology in my latest novel, The Street Sweeper. Now, as I am sure you are aware, I am no psychologist and will admit that my focus in The Street Sweeper is society’s interconnectedness with history, not so much ensuring characters start the day off with a smile. However, I do base my characters…

1. In the writer opinion, why did he not like the Bixi bikes? Explain in a full paragraph. The author clearly stated that he did not like the Bixi bikes for several reasons. First, he said that it is not financially convenient because there isn’t a monthly subscription (you have to pay an annual membership) and you have pay additional fees if you exceed the assigned time which is 30 minutes. Second, he said that he thinks the bixi bikes are very inconvenient because the returning process is a…

It was once said, “The art of the storyteller is to hold the attention of the readers.” If a novelist is able to grab the attention of the readers, they can easily convey ideas and themes represented in the story successfully to its’ readers. For instance, Zora Neale Hurston is considered to be a brilliant writer, who has the ability to form a storytelling chain within her novels and to “render a world complete with its codes and disciplines within a few sentences” (Danticat). This is shown in…

does this by making every kiss perfect, no matter how many times he had to kiss her, he had to make it perfect. To express the tone of the work, Neil uses a major tone shift about half way through the poem, he shifts from his excitedly telling the reader about his love for this girl, how he wants to be there for her. He tells us that in the beginning of their relationship she embraced his oddities of asking her out over and over, organizing his food by color, carefully avoiding the cracks on the…

on purpose or on accident is besides the point because the focus is the fact that the film and novel are in fact different. This story is absolutely astonishing on so many accounts and the events that take place are almost overwhelming to the reader. The story begins with a group of boys in a helicopter that goes down over a tropical island. The plane being filled with teenage boys it is up to them to learn how to survive and it doesn’t take…
