Affirmations By Martha Nussbaum Summary

“Just as a painter paints, and a ponderer ponders, a writer writes,” says Roman Payne. Style is a very key aspect in literature. With style the significance of the text is enhanced to a higher level. Likewise it creates momentum and interest in the text. Moreover, when style is analyzed The Handmaid's Tale written by Margaret Atwood is profound, and effectively demonstrates how style can dramatically impact a text. Accordingly, throughout chapter one of The Handmaid’s Tale Atwood’s style leads to an effective use of point of view, an adequate use of narrative elements, and a sophisticated use of diction to connect and portray valuable meaning to the readers.

Style can simply be defined as the way an author writes. Style is the most effective piece to any story because it can determine how the audience deciphers it. McCarthy’s use of short, fragmented sentences emphasize the importance of ultimate survival. For instance,“We have water. That’s the most important thing. You dont last very long without water” (McCarthy 101). The statements are abrupt and straight to the point, which also illustrates the low literacy of the characters as well as survival. The precise, sharp fragments symbolize that in an an apocalyptic world, the use of proper grammar and sentence structure is unnecessary and not relevant to continuity of

The author’s main idea and purposes are revealed by a series of anecdotes and allusions. The author gets very personal about the subject, as if she was going through the realization herself. You can see her opinion by the way she refers to certain things. For example, the author brings up an old memory from her childhood in paragraph nine. When she is describing the boxcar children, the words she uses are almost as if they were too

When deciding whether form ‘enables authors to communicate meaning more effectively’ it is important to first discover what the author is trying to express through their literature. Whilst motifs and themes may be apparent to an audience, upon reading a novel or watching a play. However, is not necessarily truthful to the authors intended meaning if the meaning itself is within within symbolism or dialogue.

Coyle ( 1993) states that the purpose of stylistics is to uncover the literary language used by the author to formulate his message. stylistics then is concerned with revealing the aesthetic and artistic aspects of a text.

First, it will be seen how such work tends to juxtapose visual and textual elements, producing not so much a post-modernist collage of randomly associated styles and techniques as a critical, interrogative exchange between them;

The King uses a lot of stylistic elements in his letter to the Birmingham Jail. Stylistic elements are techniques that give meaning, feeling, or ideas. One of the elements he uses is allusion. An allusion

Kenneth Burke, in “Psychology and Form” and “Lexicon Rhetoricae,” two brief essays in his book Counterstatement (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1968), writes that the most profound effects of a work of art are created by the repetition of form; the creation of expectations in a reader through repeated and carefully varied devices, as well as through information, enhances our excitement about information by baffling our emotional expectation, and finally satisfies us with increasingly complex style and devices as well as with plot complications. Language, symbolism, and dramatic action fuse at the end of the work. Burke cautions us to beware of the tyranny of the informational, as characters, and even authors—especially the humorist

As we read this passage it is full of different rhetorical strategies and the reason they were put in there. The writer’s style is the way he uses his language and the rhetorical strategies that he might use to enhance his writing. As I read the passage I came across syntax which is the war he puts his words to send the reader a message, and ad hominem arguing his point against the person instead of the argument. The rhetorical used in the reading is used cleverly enough to prove a point.

S2 A “convention” in art, for him, is specific techniques of writing which occur frequently over time in the realm of literature, and writers emulate other people's compositions, which they have already read. Literary conventions, therefore, become standard as a customary way of writing.

Looking in the mirror can often lead to many hateful, or very horrible thoughts about how someone may feel they look. Many times young people believe that their peers are more attractive or smarter then they are. The opinions of others should not matter, everyone is created differently. People come in many different sizes, looks, and personalities, which is what makes them unique. So next time they look in the mirror, they should remind themselves that they were made to be special and that is something that no one can take away from them. Many different things contribute to ones self image. One affective tool to use is affirmations. Affirmations should be written down and said out loud frequently for it to be affective. It needs to be in

Any style of writing has a problem of whether it is easy to read, not smooth along the tone, language was beautiful enough. In short, we must pay attention to any stylistic language

Let me just start off with whoa; that article was one of the better things I’ve read in awhile. I specifically quit language arts this year because how how nothing I was given in class had any lures, just the same old worms. There is some idiosyncrasy (Not stealing that word from the text in the attempt to sound smart) that I enjoy with this style of writing; where you can take any line, get some stock photo of nature, add bloom, set opacity of the text to 80, and voila, you have a 16 year old’s Iphone wallpaper. Then amongst the shading of passages, there are lines that limn what they were having your mind teeter on until that point. When it gives you feeling instead of understanding, and that's what compels the full envelopment of thought through emotion, not curiosity.
