Locke's Saving Rachel

The first thing that the author did that made this text standout was the structure he wrote it in. Most historical texts try to sound smart and use big words, or just give an overload of facts, but while this book does have many facts, making it a bit dry, they are spaced well enough

In contrast, at the end of the story, Jane’s shocking proclamations of, “I’ve got out at last,” and, “In spite of you (John) and Jane. And I have pulled of most of the paper so you can’t put me back,” (336), mark Jane’s final mental collapse. The changes that Jane’s mental state go through are made more powerful by Gilman’s use of interior monologue, which allows the reader to experience the change first hand through Jane’s thoughts.

(What is my reaction to what the author(s) is saying? Do I believe what the author is telling me? Why? Why not? {Be sure to give your reasons for why or why not.} Do I have another resolution to or perspective on this problem? Or include any question that will stimulate your creative commentary.)

The writer composes the story from the perspective of an analyst. She alludes to occasions later on, facts, and information that no character could have known in the setting of the story. Incorporated into the content are genuine quotes said or composed by the general population she expounds on, including the primary character. She utilizes an extremely objective voice, giving successive analysis of distinctive individuals' outlook and continually alluding to insights to demonstrate her point. Since the book does not focus on the point of view of any single character, it peruses more like a news article than a story, which frequently exhausting its groups of readers. Accordingly, Hillenbrand's written work style once in a while obstructs the correspondence of her thoughts because she regularly includes actualities, quotes and investigation in the book; it usually bores audience on the grounds that it peruses more like a news article instead of a

In it he spoke of the wrongness of slavery and of many thoughts on government. But if there was anything that occupied him the most, it was the opposing of slavery and its effect on society and people. He could oppose it because he knew how to write about it and read about it. His desire to learn served him well in this.

The diction Capote uses is vapid yet magnetic. He uses words such as “haphazard hamlet” and “unnamed, unshaded, unpaved” as attention grabbers. Capote entangles long, slow sentences with with alluring adjectives to keep the reader interested while still expressing the idea

He has the sentences very long and dragged out. As for the reasoning or emotion, Jefferson uses reasoning in the text more than emotion. For example, instead of trying to appeal to the people emotions he uses facts and direct to the point reasonings.

The settings of the text are a way in which Kesey has prescribed the essence of conformity as the characters

It will take that much time before you can get past what she went through and come to see the perfection of her sentences” (Grealy 235). After reading Lucy’s memoir from cover to cover, I could not agree more. The writing is concise, and each sentence is intricately woven with the next, sounding almost poetic. It is even more impressive how Lucy can communicate a considerable amount of meaning through only a few words. A part that deserves special recognition is one at the end of the memoir. “I wanted to tell the man I was with about it, but he was involved in his own thoughts and I did not want to interrupt him, so instead I looked with curiosity at the window behind him, its night-silvered glass reflecting the entire café, to see if I could, now, recognize myself.” The “night-silvered glass” is a metaphor for Lucy’s self-reflection as she comes to terms with who she is. Not only is this brilliant sentence powerful within itself but it also provides the reader with a feeling of closure and

Every great writer had their own influences, John Steinbeck was no exception. Steinbeck’s influences cam from family, friends, and his environment to write detailed descriptions to involve or influence the reader. Whenever someone reads one of John Steinbeck’s works they are in immersed in the scene he is describing, he makes you feel as if you are right there experiencing everything there first hand.

In this passage, Jane breaks free from the bonds that hold her down and repress her, and for the first time the reader realizes Jane’s true personality and individuality (Anderson).

The book gets us to think a lot about how much control we really have. Sophie doesn’t seem to go as deep into the philosophy as it seems the Philosopher wants her to. She answers the question, but she doesn’t think about the depth to the question. She just skims to find the answer. Everything she has thought so far was just her thinking about exactly what that Philosopher wanted her to. She never really puts her own thoughts into the depth. The story is showing Sophie on her way to finding the answers to the world’s most unanswered questions. Whether or not she will find them, who knows? There will be sad things passing through your life, but that doesn’t mean that you will become a sad person. Your life does not become sad because of sad moments. If you think about how the past has dealt with bad situations, you can find better ways to get through them. If you don’t ever think about the past, you are determined to repeat it. You will only focus on what is right in front of you, instead of looking past your comfort zone into the world. Passage: I don’t want you to end up in such a sad state. I will do what I can to acquaint you with your historical roots. It is the only way to become a human being. It is the only way to become more than a naked ape. It is the only way to avoid floating in a vacuum.
