Narrative Analysis : ' Frame ' An Epistle '

One of the techniques used by Harwood throughout the poem is imagery, being able to give the reader mental pictures of the events occurring, some of these include the door of heavy glass closing in lines 25- 27, and also the crumpling of the face, the smile, the tears and the linen table cloth. Harwood also uses mood as a technique to engage the reader and expresses

    As the time passes she can clearly see the woman in the paper. The woman in the paper is quiet and peaceful during the day, but at night she is imprisoned by the bars in the paper. This is reflection helps the narrator identify her own bars--her husband John. He is away during the day and at home in the same bed with her at night. She also identifies with the woman in the paper by sharing their similar routine. "At night in any kind of light, in twilight, candlelight, lamplight, and worst of all by moonlight, it becomes bars! The outside pattern I mean, and the woman behind it is as plain as can be"..."by daylight she is subdued, quiet. I fancy its the pattern that keeps her so still. It is so puzzling. It keeps me quiet by the hour".

11. A poet can work its magic on the reader by “choice of images, music of the language, idea content, and cleverness of wordplay” (Foster 17).

I never thought the day would come where I’d have to admit to myself I had an addiction. The hardest part was to except the fact I was an addict of painkillers and admitting it to my family so that I could get the help and support needed to get clean. The road leading to my addiction started with the factors of my childhood, always trying to fit in and not being supported emotionally from my parents. Having a child at the age of sixteen was the second factor, which made me grow up faster than a normal child at my age would have had to. Living the life of an addict was a struggle everyday but, getting help was the hardest part of it all. I’ll live with this disease for the rest of my life because recovery is a

The author uses imagery in the poem to enable the reader to see what the speaker sees. For example, in lines 4-11 the speaker describes to us the

1. I wrote arguments in my persuasive and literary analysis to fulfill standard one. I used my research as evidence and combined that with my prior knowledge to make educated arguments to support my claims. I spent time going through information and analyzing the information to find sufficient evidence.

In this rhetorical narrative I explain a time when I successfully communicated, and had a rhetorical success. My story starts off at the beginning with an exciting start to get the reader interested, and then goes into detail about one of the characters after the beginning of the story. Although the story is structured in almost chronological order it goes off on some tangents to explain the background of some characters. The story takes a deeper look into people’s reactions and the consequences associated with those reactions. As the story gets deeper and deeper it starts to get away from the action that takes place in the beginning, and starts to become more about the thoughts of the narrator as he prepares for his consequences. The story

Assuming the office of chief Superintendent of Education in Upper Canada, Egerton immediately swung into action as he continued to make countless creative, as well as, extensive changes targeted to remodelling the Upper Canada school system whose general control of the school was within his jurisdiction- the Chief Superintendent. Egerton had the prerogative to “set standards for the curriculum; supervised the training, inspection and examination of teachers; and oversaw the selection and distribution of textbooks, through a central depository and press plant which encouraged the publication of works by home-grown authors. Libraries were organized in every school”. (Claude W.D, 2002, para 7)

The other section where symbolism is evident is “Small Porch in the Woods.” It is divided into several poems. In the first one, there is the mention of “unshifting star” which represents a change that is undisturbed. It is the turning point of the society. Despite the challenges communities face in their life, their ambition leads them towards achieving their objectives in life. The second poem under this section is about a heavy rain that fell in the month of April. Heavy rain is the representation of unhappy moments. The description presented by the narrator shows that it is a sad moment where everything is carried away. Throughout the poem, the rain is seen, as a lesson

The poem begins with the poet noticing the beauty around her, the fall colors as the sun sets “Their leaves and fruits seemed painted, but was true, / Of green, of red, of yellow, mixed hue;” (5-6). The poet immediately relates the effects of nature’s beauty to her own spiritual beliefs. She wonders that if nature here on Earth is so magnificent, then Heaven must be more wonderful than ever imagined. She then views a stately oak tree and

One can suggest that Atwood has demonstrated a light and informal tone. The poem is more informal in its writing, leaning more towards intimate entertainment. In her writing, the author is able to capture the attention of her readers by giving real-life situations that one may relate to.

If my schedule went accordingly, I would have chosen my events, then write about them, draw my rollercoaster, get my pictures, arrange everything together, then finish it. But me being the laziest person I know, I had taken some time thinking of events, then I went to draw my rollercoaster, then went to write the paragraphs, which took three days, and then got the pictures, and then arranged and glued everything together, during the middle of the night. When I had to go to school, I almost fell asleep in math class. I went to look at artists I liked to draw some of the drawings, but the style had to be easy to copy. That’s why my people mostly had chubby cheeks, it’s because I used a chibi artist to draw the base. Next time, I want to try drawing by myself, which honestly won’t happen because I suck at art. Also,

Imagery along with a touch of irony is found within the poem to pull the reader into the poem. The speakers describe exactly who they are, and what they are looking for in the person who they seek. “Executive in search of something new-Perhaps bisexual woman, arty, young.

Children have a tendency to bring out the very best in people. I can say I have been fortunate to have four little blessings of my own. I consider each of them as a blessing and each day I am reminded of how much they mean to me. My children have brought out the best in me--parts that I never knew existed. As children grow, so do parents. I have evolved into a better person with the courage to overcome all obstacles because of the love that I have for my children.
