Had Felice not offered up Chicago as a new place of residence, Jake would have wound up exactly how he’d started, having been “thinking a gitting away from the stinking mess [of Harlem],” a place he’d previously designated as home, to “go on off to the sea again” (McKay 322). Throughout the text, Jake frequents a variety of unique places, from Harlem to Pittsburgh to Brooklyn to the train in which he “had taken [a] job on the railroad” (McKay 125). McKay’s audience is privy to a plethora of details regarding Jake’s rousing endeavors in every new location he discovers. Home to Harlem’s audience watches as “that strange, elusive something” in Jake catches him and has him “[roaming] away” and “wandering to some unknown new port, caught … by some romantic rhythm, color, face, passing through cabarets, saloons, speakeasies,” and so on; in short, the emphasis on Jake’s travels is on his restlessness in his desire for movement rather than a search for some inner truth he may hold (McKay 41). Thus, the picaresque novel employment of the episodic form is vital for Home to Harlem as it allows for the motif of movement to be used for its potential. Not only that, though, but it can easily be inferred that Claude McKay designed his novel to be structured in such a way with a degree of intentionality. For whatever reason, McKay understood that an episodic format was the best to display Jake’s story. Thus, his audience must

Not only does this poem talk about the smells of the city and the tall skyscrapers and her crowds it also talks about its slums “Her shining towers, her avenues, her slums” (line 12). when you think of a city such as manhattan you normally think of its skyscrapers the biggest crowds of tourist that have no clue of where they are going. but you normally tend to overlook the slums and the bad parts of a large city. James Weldon Johnson expresses his love for his city even with all of its flaws by saying “ O God! the stark, unutterable pity, to be dead, and never again behold my city” (lines 13-14). He does not want to see the day that he can no longer see all the wonderful aspects of a large

Upon reading the first few sentences of the paragraph, one can easily assume E. B. White has inhabited New York once before. His capability in drawing three New Yorks established his familiarity with the city and its various versions. This is implied when he states, “There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born there, who takes the city for granted and accepts for its size, its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter--the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something” (White). Coming from the perspective of the author, it adds an authentic value to his words and description of the types of people who live in New York. The individuals who exist in each of the version contribute to New York’s remarkable essence

Visual plays a great factor in the passage, Marquarts want to describe how the Midwest gets looked down. Marquart uses visuals “ .. through the state of North Dakota, you’ll encounter a road so lonely, treeless and devoid of rising and curves in places that it will feel like a long-held pedal steel guitar note”. The visuals are used to print a picture in the reader's mind showing the reader that long rides are boring and driving through the Midwest is boring because there is nothing to see. She also used a simile to describe how it just one big long road of nothing. The long guitar note is used to show the reader that a single note is dull when a single note is playing the audience waits in suspense to find out what is happening next later to find out nothing going to happen. By focusing on what the visual mean Marquart is able to how the reader an understanding of what the Midwest means to her as well a in showing the characteristics of the Midwest.

Have you ever wondered why our justice system is so unfair? I am sure everyone would agree that someone who is a serial killer of infants and children deserves the death penalty even more so than someone who commits a lesser crime gets the death penalty as well. For example, a woman gets the death penalty for killing 7 men, but another woman does not get the death penalty for killing eleven plus infants and children. There is one woman behind my questioning. Throughout my research I decided to find a crime I never heard about before, which lead me to a woman named Genene Jones. Furthermore, I will discuss Jones’s life leading up to the events, the crimes she committed, as well as her life now.
