Taylor Fields : A Place For Laughter, Love, Anger, Or Just Hunger

There is a place where not far from my hometown, which, since my childhood, still holds the secrets to life. It was a place where we were free. Free to do whatever we wanted to do, say whatever we wanted to say, it was our place, our river. It was a simple place, no paved or asphalt roads for the commotion of busy traffic, no tall buildings to block out the sunlight, no sense of time to feel rushed or anxious, no effects from the outside world. It was a beach on the coast of Lake Sakakawea called “Little Egypt.”

In the essay, “A Literature of Place”, Barry Lopez expresses the importance of nature as it applies to human life. Through this he states that humans’ imagination are inspired by the scenery around them. Lopez revolves around a central perspective; Ancient american literature has always been rooted in nature. By acknowledging that modern human identity has been interpreted by nature, Lopez describes how the landscape of an area can shape the structure of the communities and how it can help with spiritual collapse. Nature writing has often been summarised by being one of the oldest threads in american literature. With our nation's aging one needs to reflect on their literary past; therefore, Lopez insists that we find our path to nature that

The story of my history as a writer is a very long one. My writing has come full circle. I have changed very much throughout the years, both as I grew older and as I discovered more aspects of my own personality. The growth that I see when I look back is incredible, and it all seems to revolve around my emotions. I have always been a very emotional girl who feels things keenly. All of my truly memorable writing, looking back, has come from experiences that struck a chord with my developing self. This assignment has opened my eyes, despite my initial difficulty in writing it. When I was asked to write down my earliest memory of writing, at first I drew a blank. All of a sudden, it became very clear to me, probably because it had some

Discuss how language is used to describe the settings in texts, and explore how the settings shape the events and influence the mood of the narrative

Have you ever been crammed in to a small space for a short amount of time? Yeah it’s terrible right! How would you like to be like that for several days, even months? The glory field talks about the horrid things that the slaves were put threw when they were being transported. They were shoved on to a small boat chained together for several months. Not only that but they barely had food and even light. But really thing question is, did Walter Dean Myers write the Glory Field historically accurate?

In this poetic memoir, Engle shares her memories of her childhood in meticulous detail. She is a person who comes from two different cultures -- Cuba and California. In the quote below, Engle describes how she falls in love with the Cuba farm and how much the farm means to her. Writing in the “Enchanted Air: Two Cultures, Two Win”, Engle said: “ I fall in love with the farm where my abuelita and her ancient mother were born. My dazzled eyes absorb the lush beauty of a land so wild and green that the rippling river on my great-uncle’s farm shimmers like a hummingbird, all the dangerous crocodiles and gentle manatees deeply hidden beneath quiet waters. Surely there must be mermaids here, and talking animals, the pale, humpbacked Zebu cows and graceful horse that roam peaceful hillsides, moving as mysteriously as floating clouds in the stormy tropical sky.” (Engle, 9) This quote shows Engle falls in love with the Cuba farm because she extols beautiful farm landscape, quiet countryside, and untrammeled animals. At first, Engle describes the green river, crocodiles, manatees, Zebu cows and horse with five different adjectives -- “rippling”, “dangerous”, “gentle”, “humpbacked” and “graceful”. Five different adjectives show the characteristics of these five things and show the first reason to fall in love with the farm -- Engle loves this beautiful and harmonious Cuba farm. The benefit of using adjectives is that the readers can easier to imagine a vivid picture of the beautiful riverside scenery. The second reason to fall in love with the farm is Engle loves mysteriously things on the farm.

8. The Wasteland – Often a desert, the wasteland represents an emotionally/physically barren place or time in a character’s journey. A character is usually cleansed of fear or doubt and reconnects to his/her sense of faith or inner strength. Characters usually emerge from the wasteland stronger and more focused. Occasionally the wasteland wins and a character emerges from the wasteland insane.

Through my piece I wanted to try and to do what Burroway said by when the room is set up to do a Panorama. That the writer should show the tone in the environment, what everything looks like and how that makes others feel. For example in the “At The Dam” story, how they describe the Boulder City being ambient of a new city, shows how the past is being rebuilt into the new. In my piece I wanted to sort of recreate that, to use how the environment can affect the mood. For example how neutral tones create a calm atmosphere. I believe my strengths in this piece would be my descriptions of the room, I believe the way I used the senses bring the reader in. What I definitely lack in the piece is the conflict, I tried to make it seem as though Elle

The idea is perfect. The characters are completely cooperating. The setting is so clear in her mind that she can describe it every little detail, from the kinds of flowers that grow in that area to its fractured history.

Edward Taylor was and Puritan pastor and doctor carrying Puritan values. He embraces those values in his poems, illustrating an all-powerful God whom was displeased with his people. According to the eBook on page 6, Taylor spent most of his adult life serving as a pastor to a congregation in Massachusetts. He wrote his poetry as a private exercise of devotion and worship. This confirms that he used a more spiritual voice and spoke in the name of God. His used of metaphysical poetic strategies articulated a plea for God to make him useful. An example of his plea is in Meditation 1.6 written in the book of 215 Preparatory Meditations written by Taylor.

Citrus wafted from the white styrofoam container, it crackled as I opened it up only to immediately be hit in the face with the acidic scented steam. The chunked pieces of white meat were covered in their shining amber
