In “Conte” by Marilyn Hacker, Cinderella shows the reader a glimpse of her life after the childhood tale ends, a less happier ending than the original story implies. She feels trapped in a constant state of misery and boredom in the royal palace. Without life experience guiding her, Cinderella is in a dilemma caused by her ignorance of the potential consequences of her actions. With the use of irony, structure, and diction, “Conte” shows how innocence and naïveté result in regrettable mistakes that create life experience.

Currently on display at the Kimbell Art Museum there resides a painting by the title, Portrait of May Sartoris that was painted by artist Frederic Leighton. Leighton created the artwork by using oil on canvas and did so on a canvas that would mimic her in true to life size. By doing this he made a clear and present focal point in the painting that can clearly and quickly be distinguished upon arriving at the painting. With the brightest color in the painting being her face and the darkest tones being among her clothing one can’t help but having their eyes drawn to her. By utilizing numerous elements Leighton created a painting in which the main emphasis was placed upon the subject May Sartoris, which predominantly makes up the majority of the painting.

In the poem “Passed On” by Carole Satymurti, the speaker tells a story almost as in a novel of their mother and how she left them a box of index cards with advice on life when she died. The speaker’s gender seems to be female. In the poem, the poet presents the theme of growing up and becoming one’s own person through the maturation and acceptance process. She personifies the index cards themselves, comparing them to her mother. They also characterize the speaker and her mother and create a mood of sadness and longing, implying that perhaps the mother has been dead for some time, but the speaker has never truly accepted this.

Emily Dickinson’s use of poetic diction in poems 585 and 754 brings to life two inanimate objects, a train and a gun, both of which perform actions that are useful to man. Though these items cannot act on their own, Dickinson’s diction provides them with their own movements, characteristics, and feelings. In poem 585, a train’s daily journey is given a meaning beyond that of a cold, iron machine when Dickinson describes its animal qualities to show its strength, stubbornness, and perseverance. In poem 754, a gun is portrayed as a protective, devoted servant. In both of these poems, Emily Dickinson uses diction to give a train and a gun characteristics of animals to explain their behavior and

By incorporating these grammatical issues into her work, Ferrell intends to develop a clear and sharp image to ignite the imagination of her readers.

Sainte Chapelle is a Gothic style church and a powerful monarch that was built within seven years. It has religious and political influence. It is on the Île de la Cité- which is in the heart of Paris, France. Sainte Chapelle is near the Palais de Justice buildings with a petite and peaceful exterior. Also, it was built to preserve some Christian relics- i.e. Christ’s crucifixion crown; all the relics were obtained by Saint Louis. In figure one, the entrance to the chapel is displayed ("Sacred Destinations"). The most memorable aspect is the stained glass artworks. They all resemble scenes from the Old and New Testaments, making up 1,113 parts of history in the world before the relics came to Paris. These stories on stained glass made the Sainte Chapelle very popular which promoted it to being one of the most visited French High Gothic architecture. The Sainte Chapelle church has a good amount of history behind it, besides the amazing lower and upper chapel areas. The upper chapel includes a spectacular interior and exterior décor.

The poems “Of the Irresoubleness of Diamonds”, “Harmless, As Recalled by a Fairy Tale”, “Gerburt des Monicakinds”and “Beautiful Funeral” were written by poet and novelist Monica Ferrell. Monica Ferrell was born in New Dehli. She earned her BA from Harvard University and MFA from Columbia University (Poetry Foundation). Ferrell discusses the role of uncertainty in her poems. She states, “I’m trying to let something that wants to come into being do so-poetry as uncovering, rather than invention or rhetoric, and a form of devotion and service”. (Poetry Foundation). By using several grammar techniques Ferrell paints a bright image for her readers to ponder upon. Ferrell is an atypical poem and uses a variety of forms to convey her simple and lyrical tone throughout them. One of the reasons that I chose her poems is because of the strong, lyrical language she uses to convey the imagery and earnest tone.

mystery danger. Keats impresses upon his readers the idea that La Belle Dame is a suspicious figure, her ‘wild’ eyes implying a degree of madness, and the fact that the ‘knight at arms’ is ‘lulled’ to sleep further supports the image of her as deceitful. The stanzas are in iambic tetrameter apart from the final line which is a spondee, this causes the reader to be ‘lulled’ into an idea of the rhythm and tone the poem will take, before being made to feel uncomfortable or uneasy. However, the further descriptions show the girl to be ‘full beautiful’, ‘sweet’ and ‘fragrant’, displaying the fact that the possible danger from her does not lessen her attractiveness, thus reinforcing the Gothic pain/pleasure paradox. This is similar to the

In this essay I will discuss the definition of the concept grammar in linguistic science and thee attitude teachers may have towards such a conceptualization of what grammar is. I will go into detail by explaining perspective and descriptive grammar.

Although it is a short poem, “Casabianca” has no shortage of meaning and criticisms. Zhou Xiaojing provided a quick backstory for the poem that put much of it in perspective and allowed me to dig deeper into Bishop’s potential meaning.

Avec le livre imprimé, les textes s’étaient stabilisés dans des formes conformes à des règles et certaines normes, qui étaient devenues quasi stables. L’expérience de lecture pouvait s’appuyer sur ces constantes cristallisées dans le livre imprimé. Avec le texte numérique, l’écran devient l’unique lieu d’interaction avec l’œuvre. De nouveaux repères sont construits par le lecteur pour identifier l’œuvre, se repérer dans son parcours, mémoriser des passages importants et des expériences spécifiques. Mauger, Poliak & Pudal (1995) affirment que «La notion même de texte vient à éclater. Ce n’est plus le livre papier qui propose un texte, son propre texte, construite à travers plusieurs pages au lecteur, mais le lecteur lui-même qui compose un texte, son propre texte, à travers sa manière de parcourir l’espace que lui offre le numérique. »

The English writer Stephen Fry once said: “You have already achieved the English Language poet’s most important goal: you can read, write and speak English well enough to understand this sentence”. I may agree with this, but we have to admit English language had passed through many stages of complexities to occur such a simple and stable status. If we go back several centuries-early old English (450-c.850) to the late modern English (c.1950---) - we would list many changes that affected the English language. In this report, I will argue one important incident that had influenced the English language a lot; what had happened in the late seventeenth century and the beginning of the eighteenth century lead a major shifting from the complete authority of the grammarians on the English language to the lexicographers’ control and decision making of the language??!!
