Titles

This past week our class had a discussion over Fun Home, a graphic novel, written by Allison Bechdel. A topic that my class briefly talked about throughout this discussion was the title of the novel and its physical meaning. The title of this novel is Fun Home.

ease of which one can draw an interpretation of the piece Duchamp’s is more thought-provoking. Though both pictures have compelling titles that contrast with the contents of the actual painting, Duchamp’s contrast more directly challenges what the viewer is thinking and is easier to draw an interpretation from. “Nude Descending Staircase (No. 2)” is a misleading title, but the viewer could interpret…

Ashabranner, the author, chose to make the title two parts. Brent Ashabranner made the title “Always to Remember: The Vision of Maya Ying Lin” two parts because he wanted to show that all soldiers who lost their lives in the Vietnam war should have a memorial that was created by Maya Ying Lin. Brent Ashabranner as a World War II veteran knows that war is not about glory and reward, but about pain and sorrow. Brent Ashabranner wrote the first part of the title as “Always to Remember” to…

contemplate some big problems about mortality and nature along the road of life. In this poem Stafford uses the title, subtle false rhyme scheme techniques, and setting elements to give the poem a feeling of gloominess. As I read this poem it sparked up some old feelings I had when I was at a crossroad on whether or not to have an abortion. Stafford gives us a pretty straight forward title. The title sets the scene both accurately and…

way of naming her work is very special and always have a significant meaning to them. She states in an interview that “There’s so much written about titles. I don’t like descriptive titles. I don’t like titles that—if you don’t read them, you don’t get the piece. I want a title that can be an entrance to something, but never an explanation. A title is more about staying…

my knowledge serves me. I will look over paragraph by paragraph, from page one to the last page of your essay. You have not put title for the essay and I have some difficulty to grasp the main idea. I find it very helpful if we start to state the title and start writing, although later on we may change the title or adjust it as the story develops. In MLA format, the title of the novel supposedly written with quotation mark instead of italicized, as corrected by professor Cunningham on Tuesday.…

Think about it, if judging a book is considered bad, then judging a book by its title is even worse. After all, covers are pictures, pictures are worth a thousand words, and a title is just a phrase. But it’s not that simple, title names a book, and names are important. A title is the story’s first impression, just like a person’s name. It creates expectation, and even allow readers to imply the plot. In O’Brien’s short story titled “The Things They Carried,” devices such as symbolism,…
