Book Report On Scripts And Postscripts

The first article listed to read was “Writing by Omission” by John McPhee, which I found to be an interesting lens to inspect the three pieces from the The Globe and Mail we chose to read. Out of the four readings of the week, “Writing by Omission” was by far the most insightful. McPhee uses his own tribulations as a writer in the industry to illustrate his notion that “writing is selection.” Every word, paragraph, and chapter must be selected amongst a great arc of potentialities available to the writer, and it is the author’s grand task to carefully choose the most appropriate next piece.

Throughout this essay, Alexie uses an extended analogy. Alexie’s analogies help the reader understand the purpose of a paragraph. He realized that “a paragraph was a fence that held words. The words inside a paragraph worked together for a common purpose.” He compares a paragraph with a fence which brings clarity to his understanding of a paragraph. From this understanding, he began to think of everything in terms of paragraphs. For example, “Our reservation was a small paragraph within the United States. My family’s house was a paragraph, distinct from the other paragraphs of Labrets to the north, the Fords to our south and the Tribal School to the west.” He uses this idea that each paragraph is an identity and inside those identities are smaller ones. Alexie even says that his family is like a seven-paragraph essay, each different but linked by genetics and common experiences. This allusion allows the audience to see Alexie’s point of view on the world.

According to studies performed by Puncky Heppner, a professor at the University of Missouri, learning about other cultures positively affects communication with others. Although it is important for one to understand his or her own culture, it is equally as important for one to stay informed about other cultures. In the speech “Language and Literature from a Pueblo Indian Perspective,” Silko compares and contrasts the cultures of the Pueblo Indians to the cultures of those in the audience. In this reminiscently informative speech, Silkoś credibility, examples, and diction help her to introduce the way of life of the Pueblos to an audience who is not familiar with their traditions.

The structures of a paragraph and a full essay are similar because they both include a beginning, a middle, and an end.

Today modern society brings changes to culture, thinking and demographic picture of our country. It is impossible to comprehend a contemporary language without knowing its linguistic history. Through centuries, a language and a script went through many changes, especially languages of these areas. Croatian language had three types of scripts before – the Glagolitic, the Cyrillic and the Latin script. Today, it is unacceptable to name the Cyrillic script as Croatian due to historical and political reasons.

We composed journal entries, poems, summaries, jokes, analyses, epitaphs, and arguments. This allowed us to receive quick feedback, which proved to be invaluable. Mr. Trenthem's praise, corrections, rants, and endless stream of humorous stories inspired and motivated me to write more and think more about what I wrote. In fact, our class' study of American poets from Robert Haydn to Langston Hughes drew out some of the best writing I have ever crafted. I am very fortunate to have had such a fastidious and authentic person to challenge me every week to improve my writing and myself.

Indeed, “the strategic relationship between culture and industry was emancipated from Frankfurtian determinism by Hall and Golding and Murdock who began to decode social and ideological determination, no longer in terms of context but by setting limits and enforcing boundaries” (Jesús Martín-Barbero, 2014: 134). The aim to pay attention to what remains in what is changing and what changes in what remains in the field of cultural and communication practices in Latin America is also indebted to this intellectual path, from Raymond Williams to E.P. Thompson (Martín-Barbero & Herlinghaus, 2000:

She was a girl know as Anne Frank, whose diary has Impacted the world with her tragic life story, views, and lessons. Its people such as her, who I aspire to be like and learn from. After her, I set myself to delve into the wondrous world of literacy. Who better to gain insight from, then a man said to have helped develop the English language himself. “To be or not to be, that is the question,” ring a bell? It’s nonetheless, the historical William Shakespeare, a poet, playwright, and actor. His work provided me with entirely new flavor of styled writing, truly distinctive. For something personalized, to my ever-expanding knowledge of literacy. A fairly, famous poet by the name of Edgar Allan Poe, pulled me towards experimenting with poetry. “I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat,” he said, I’d agree, his work has a skin chilling factor, with horror in the mix, one of my favorite genres. Curiously, the further looked into the past, the further I found that writing and its abilities with high skills, has played a great role in history. “I have a dream…”, Martin Luther King Jr. Others don’t need to be a genius to understand the power this phrase resonates.
