Analysis Of Mary Karr 's ' An Almost Unbroken Panorama '

One of the literary devices King used in his writing is metaphor. For example, in his Letter from Birmingham Jail, he says, "Let us all hope that the dark clouds

Throughout section three, one can frequently see King’s use of figurative language to reiterate his points. Metaphors more

He comes to prove to his readers that the amount of years that pass by and the number of distance between point A and B is irrelevant as long as you read and write. Words have weight. As readers, we fail to realize that we make connections with the authors themselves in personal ways. We read a book that carries a passageway to the authors minds and from there, we are in a world of fantasies and false realities, or in some cases, we are in a specific time period in which we weren’t even alive for. King stresses that that is the “pure distillation” - that is the beauty of

King incorporates a myriad of stylistic devices that shape and develop the theme of the passage in the book. Through the periodic use of rhetorical questions such as,

Stephen King uses a boundless amount of literary elements to describe his personal situations to his journey to the author career. On page 17-18, King explains his experience reading Mary Karr’s memoir The Liars’ Club. He begins to explain his childhood and how it is an “odd, herky-jerky childhood.” In addition to, he goes to tell how Karr presents her childhood. He compares his younger days to hers by proposing his childhood as “a fogged-out landscape from which occasional memories appear like isolated trees . . . the kind that look as if they might like to grab and eat you.” In that statement it includes three literary elements, one which includes a simile. He compares his memories to isolated trees using the word like. The other literary element presented is personification. King portrays his memories as isolated trees that want to grab and eat you. However, trees can’t actually perform those types of activities. The final literary element is imagery. King made me as a reader legitimately picture the fogged-out landscape and the grabbing and eating of the isolated trees.

     Emotional feelings are felt through out the paper. A main emotional appeal king makes is when he is talking about his kids. When he is talking about his daughter and how she wanted to go to the new amusement park and how he would have to tell her that they could not because they were colored and colored people were not allowed. Also when he would have to answer his son?s question ?Why do white people treat colored people so mean?? King is hurt by having to answer these difficult questions posed by his own

When King gets up there to speak, he knows that he is fighting and uphill battle and the only way to persevere is with the power of numbers. King does what not many can do through the power of speech, he makes a nation realize that there is know true constraint holding them back from making change for the better of their great nation. King uses multiple metaphors in his speech to connect with the audience and create and emotional bond, one that they can relate to, a bond that unifies the masses to feel and understand what King is

This is an example of a metaphor that King used to compare his rather hazy memories of his childhood to Mary’s very clear and happy memories. His use of a very descriptive metaphor in this comparison really helps the reader understand the differences between. The metaphor not only compares his memories to May’s but it also describes the harshness of those few memories.

To set the mood in this piece, King describes where he is writing his work and calls it his “far-seeing place,”(103). He says that he is writing this chapter at his desk down in his well lit basement in the winter, and this place is his sanctum away from the stresses of life. By writing about his current setting in his sanctuary, King showed that he was just like any one of us. King reads books as a release from life’s frustrations.

It made them feel like they were experiencing the TV show or movie they were watching. In Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451 the television is described as a way the government manipulates the population’s mind. For example the main character Montag has an ignorant wife called Mildred and she tends to say things like “‘ It’s really fun. It’ll be more fun when we can afford to have the fourth wall installed. How long you figure before we save up and get the fourth wall torn out and a fourth wall-TV put in? It’s only two thousand dollars.’ ‘That’s one-third of my yearly pay’”(Bradbury 18). Montag’s wife Mildred does not care about him, she is just using him for her own benefits. People in the 1950s were probably as ignorant as Mildred and this might be why Bradbury created a character like her. Another quote on people’s obsession over TV’s is “‘Now,’ said Mildred, my family is people. They tell me things; I laugh, they laugh! And the colors’”(Bradbury 69)! Mildred is extremely obsessed with the TV, and even considers the characters in the TV her family. Implying that TV’s were a new thing in technology and captured everyone’s attention in the 1950s, Bradbury used this event in his book to relate with us in the

In King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, he imitates the use of metaphors to further appeal to the audience through

In the work of Margaret Atwood’s “Half-Hanged Mary” the author deliberately uses different types of style to dramatically allow the reader to experience the horrors from the acts of the Puritan people. Each sentence uses words of description to narrate the story of what happened to Mary Webster. In order to clearly understand the motive of knowing what happened to Mary, you have to understand the actual phrases in each verse. Each word have their own meaning of diction that the author uses to provide ambiguous examples.

In this passage, King is describing writing as imperfect. You are not always going to be surrounded by peace and quiet. Neither, are the circumstances in your life always going to be excellent for writing. However, this is the beauty of writing; not having a fairytale writing space and schedule. He is defining writing as something that needs to be a desire the writer, and should be done only when he or
