fairest one in sight)” lightheartedly, amusingly alluding to the children’s tale of wishing on a star. Also, from this, we can infer that he wants a wish from this particular star. He nicknames the star “your loftiness,” humorously playing on the phrase “your highness,” establishing a higher moral status than the rest of us. The author, writing as all men, presents the star “some obscurity”, drawing some aspects from the hermit and watching the earth, in his “cloud.” As Frost explains, the…

My style model is in the genre of travel writing. The overall text is a combination of short sentences which are linked together with various cohesive techniques. The text is an individual's journey, in present tense, through the Beijing desert and the events which happen during the exploration. I have reflected this in “Burnt Happiness” by recalling about my travels through Madeira and the emotions that occur from the rich to poor side of the Island. My writing is similar to Ma Jian in many…

Jaeyoung Jeon, “The Visit of Jethro (Exodus 18): Its Composition and Levitical Reworking”, Journal of Biblical Literature, 136.2, 2017, 289-306 According to Jaeyoung Jeon Exodus 18 contains redactions by a Levitical scribe/scribal group.

his admittance of fear comes across as a last resort, he is not dishonestly presenting the Achaeans as stoic and unafraid. Such sincerity may be a method of making his argument more effective (even if it may not necessarily be as “honorable”). The phrase “all hangs in the balance now” implies that Achilles could make a profound difference, which could appeal to his potential desire for power over his grudge against…

line is sarcastic and can later be connected to a line in the in her second stanza. Even though the first stanza is filled with loving memories, Bradstreet shifts her focus in the second stanza. She uses the letter f in the word “fall” (8). The verb “fall” is almost always used for negativity. This makes sense because in this stanza Bradstreet speaks of nature and how nature completes its cycle. There is jealousy in her tone/words. In the last line of the poem Bradstreet uses the word…

Though this video does not provide background on AA’s speech and language history in order to make any concrete judgment, we may observe for potential therapy. This video also does not give a long enough language sample to fully conclude any assessment, although it gives the opportunity to begin comprehension of AA’s language abilities. Viewing auditory comprehension as a child’s difficulty with multi-step instructions, listening, and having…
