Analysis Of Elizabeth Cady Stanton 's Poem, I Do Love You Lizzie !

After reading a chapter, I felt like the book was hard to put down. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone, whether he or she is a history fanatic or is just looking for a good book to read. Like Joyce Appleby, I was satisfied with the amount of details that Meacham used to discuss Jefferson’s political career. At some points during the book, I actually felt like I was living during Jefferson’s time and was in the same room as him. On the other hand, like both Appleby and Abramson, I was also disappointed with the lack of details when it came to Jefferson’s relationship with Sally Hemings. Meacham would give minor details about both Jefferson and Hemings, but then would quickly move on to a different subject. That would me my only complaint. I highly recommend this novel to anyone that wants to read a good, comprehensive biography about Thomas

There were a lot of characters almost too much but it fits the book and didn’t ruin the plot (whole book). One of the characters the in the book the author described well was Vera Claythorn (3,4,5). It talked about her personality and her previous job as a games mistress (4). She has to take any job she can get to have some extra money. Also, the author does a good job talking about Dr.Armstrong (10,11,12). Even though the suffix gives it away Dr.Armstrong is a doctor. Dr.Armstrong is also pretty wealthy.

Love is not always an easy adventure to take part in. As a result, thousands of poems and sonnets have been written about love bonds that are either praised and happily blessed or love bonds that undergo struggle and pain to cling on to their forbidden love. Gwendolyn Brooks sonnet "A Lovely Love," explores the emotions and thoughts between two lovers who are striving for their natural human right to love while delicately revealing society 's crime in vilifying a couples right to love. Gwendolyn Brooks uses several examples of imagery and metaphors to convey a dark and hopeless mood that emphasizes the hardships that the two lovers must endure to prevail their love that society has condemned.

The book was very well put together and organized with documented evidence and interviews from important people. A lot of research was put into this book and all the research used is cited in the back of the book. Since the topic is such a controversial topic I understand that all the information had to be correctly used which is why the research was so in-depth. The book was easy to read there was a few words I was unsure of and had to define in order to better understand them. The situation itself brought up other issues of that time such as: social, economic, and politics. The conclusion at the end really helps by summing up some main points considering there is a lot of information throughout the reading. The drawing and pictures included in the text are very interesting and it is really cool to get to see

I liked how he draws attention to the small things because that’s what really matters. Mr. McCullough also uses lots of primary and secondary sources and mainly used deductive reasoning. He highlights the military within the special focus on the battle of George Chester Heights, Long Island, and Trenton. I would say overall that the good points weigh out the bad when it comes to how well each topic was described. This is not the typical book I would normally read. It wasn’t what I am truly into. This book was a true success when it came down to what all happened in 1776. He told the story of 1776 in an amazing way describing and all of the

The poem “Aunt Ida Pieces a Quilt” by Melvin Dixon and the essay “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid are both from the book Rereading America: Cultural Contexts for Critical Thinking and Writing edited by Gary Colombo, Robert Cullen, and Bonnie Lisle. In “Aunt Ida Pieces a Quilt” by Melvin Dixon, the author describes a story of Aunt Ida and expresses her deep grief and memory of her niece through their former experience of making a quilt. The author wants to let readers understand that numerous people die because of AIDS, and all of them will be remembered in another way. The author tries to spark the readers to sense the sadness and frustration in Ida. In the reading “Girl,” Jamaica Kincaid uses a narrative mode to describe the heavy and tedious work a girl should do in her daily life. This poem-like essay contains a list of instructions given by a mother to her daughter. It seems that she cannot bear these rules anymore and begin shouting in the following article. She demonstrates her strong attitude of her annoyance and discontentment. The author argues the injustice between men and women and shows her willingness to live like men in the freedom. Both the poem and the essay use a lot of strategies in common to present their perspective towards gender such as they both use a narrative mode and they both can give us a feeling that we are at a rapid pace, what’s more, both authors are good at using comparison method in their work. Despite their similarities, each of them has some

I, personally, loved the author's writing, although I did not really understand why she structured the book like so. With each chapter changing different perspectives and stories, it was kind of hard to remember which chapter went with another considering the chapters where out of order. With each story, I was a little annoyed that they just suddenly ended at the end of the chapter. It made me want to read more and more trying to find the next chapter that went with that person's story. It was also kind of difficult to connect the stories. Other than that, she did a marvelous job grabbing my attention. I loved the analogies that she included in the stories. For example, on page 216- 217, one of the mothers told her daughter about a turtle that eats her tears and then creates birds that laugh

First, I found it hard to follow at times. I think it would have been easier to understand if the chapters were shorter and more broke up. Although this book included lots of details like the thesis was proving about the sex scandal, I feel that some details were unnecessary and not needed. The book also jumped back and forth between people and topics which made the book harder for me to understand. Improvements could have been made in the layout and structure of this book. In my opinion, I think the author included more background information at the beginning of the book. To me, this book seemed hard to understand and follow. It skips back and forth between years and events that make it hard to

The writing style of the book was effective it got the purpose of the Author's writing across in an easy way so it wasn’t confusing or difficult to understand.The strength of the book was how it read much like a thriller and kept you wanting to read more it was entertaining however it was also insightful. Where the book was week however was in the beginning of the book when it was describing the Civil War and it flipped from Lee’s side back to Grant’s side it was hard to remember what side he was talking about. However after that the book was written incredibly well and was easy to understand. The author's qualifications that Bill has to write about the subject was that he majored in history in college, he also graduated with a bachelors art degree in history. Bill also taught English and History in a High School. I agree that the death of Lincoln was a tragedy for the United States. Overall the book was very interesting the author presented the history of Lincoln’s death in a way that was relatable and entertaining to the readers. I would recommend this book to others because it’s a good way to learn about the different opinions within the citizens of the United States. The book contributed to my understanding that at this point in history that the country was split in many ways, some

The author is very descriptive and gives readers a lot of information. Sentences like “The wait was electric, for Chicago was a prideful place” (13) are very formal and hold the character of that time. The author’s style is descriptive, and thoroughly narrates events. Sentences like “mounds of quicklime; a large kiln; a dissection table stained with what seemed to be blood” are very descriptive and add to the eerie feeling that readers get (364). The words the author chose helped readers know how they are supposed to feel about certain subjects. An example is the sentence “He possessed them all and reveled in his possession” (350). This sentence makes readers such as myself feel uncomfortable and adds to the depiction of Holmes. His wording helped readers understand his characters. This books serves as a reminder for other books like Great Gatsby but heavily contrasts Great Gatsby in the fact that it depicts much more gruesome events and is a darker read that Gatsby. The author also uses a lot of paragraph breaks to try to highlight something that is important for readers to not. The book was easy to read but packed with information. The author also implies a lot of things instead of outrightly stating

The chapters that describe the characters’ pasts make the reader feel as if they are watching that character’s personality develop over their lifetime even though it is only a couple pages. The most enjoyable part was the chapter over Herman Husband that tells about his entire past and how his beliefs and opinions were influenced. I was able to have a closer connection with this character because there was a lot of information given about him. Also because from the author’s perspective he was portrayed as someone brave and understanding. Which is why when the book ended there was a sadness to it, the readers could feel a sense of emotion for the man in the cell and a stronger effect left behind by his parting words. Another enjoyable moment was when the author described the rebels and how people felt when they finally saw them after they were defeated. It created a very vivid image that explained why the people watching felt a sense of disappointment at seeing them. There was a lot of depth over the characters and how each had their part in influencing the Whiskey Rebellion however Hogeland only briefly talks about the last battle of the Rebellion that led to the rebels being captured and forced to walk for miles. More information could have been added to give the reader a better understanding as to why exactly they may have lost or what led the most to their downfall.

My first impression of the book was that I thought it would be a book that I would like. It combines a topic that I’m not very interested in (Biology) with a topic that I really enjoy learning about (History). The novel quickly grabbed my attention and I thought it would be the best choice for me. To be specific, the third sentence on the first chapter is something that really grabbed my attention, “He came for shade.” This sentence made me want to read more because of the way that the author chose her words and wrote her

The chapters and settings all seemed a bit too random and wasn’t really my cup of tea. Every chapter tells a different story and it was hard to link the full thing together. It takes a while to understand the concept. The newspaper articles were a great add and an interesting idea, but however does not fit it with the story, or otherwise was not put together very well. The book has many sad events and the entire novel seems to have a dark side. It is quite difficult to comprehend the book’s affairs as it does not have a storyline. The chapters make me feel like they were written arbitrarily and would need a long time to think about the book in order to know its true meaning. The author is trying to convey the idea of the 50s for the readers but has made it extremely hard to perceive, always adding in random and unnecessary lines for the characters that have no effect on the rest of the book. E.g when they kept referring back to the red shoe even though its not significant in the plot at all, but is only just a motif in the story. The readers may not be able to see how a red shoe from Hans Christian’s Andersen story can relate to the occurrences of the Cold

The poem is written in second person with a very conversational tone and structure that invokes imagery of the town itself. The use of second person creates a feeling of closeness to the conversation in the poem. The “you”, while not directly addressing the reader, invites the reader to reflect upon his/her own life in parallel. The conversational tone adds a sense of familiarity to the town for the reader. When physically turned sideways, the poem looks like an open field in Montana: mostly flat, with a few bumps up and down. There are four stanzas, providing a slightly different structure from the simple beginning, middle, and end that readers normally expect. Hugo is quoted saying that “[In] The Lady in Kicking Horse Reservoir. . . Montana

I have chosen a poem by E. E. Cummings that’s called “I Carry Your Heart”.
