Writing For Our English Class

Emily’s death adds to this theme of celebrating the mundane. When Emily visits her twelfth birthday again, she realizes that humans just “don’t understand” (111). George and Emily had lots of plans together but didn’t look at the things they already have like the farm, fountain, and 4 year old child they have. Through this, Wilder explains how humans don’t acknowledge the simple actions and life goes on too quickly to witness these beautiful things. The author attempts to explain how simple things in life are passed by the rush of humans.

In the short story A Rose for Emily written by William Faulkner, readers are immersed in the narrative of a supposed town member who describes the impact that the recent death of an old woman has had upon their small community. In the narrative, readers are taken on a journey through the life of Miss Emily, an old, lonely woman who is seemingly frozen in her own timeframe. As the story unfolds, readers learn about the various tragedies Emily encountered in her lifetime such as the sudden death of her controlling father as well as her alienation from other family members that leaves her utterly alone following his death. Audiences also learn about events that happened throughout Emily’s life that both molded her as a person and aided in shaping her reputation around the town. From her controversial relationship with a construction worker named Homer Barron to her suspicious purchase of arsenic at the local drug store, there is no question that Emily lived under the constant scrutiny of her fellow townspeople. After reading the initial sentences, it can be concurred that this story doesn’t simply describe the life of an old, questionably insane woman, but also the story of the age-old battle between old and new. Through symbolism and an artful arrangement of the events described, Faulkner is able to meticulously weave a tale of the clash between newer and older generations’ views and standards.

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson, or called Emily Dickinson for short (1830 – 1886) and Mary Oliver (1935), are the two poets who contributed great works of art to American society during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. In spite of several characteristics that can be found in both Emily Dickinson and Mary Oliver poems, there are undeniably things that distinguish them from one another, although outside both are very famous poets of the poems that they wrote at that time, but actually inside, every poem that they bring the reader has a different meaning and quite deep in reader hearts. For example, as we read the poem “Alligator Poem” by Mary

Critic James H. Picker once wrote, “To classify, to regard fiction as an object can be taken apart and then put back together, is only one way to approach and participate in the work of literature; but it is not the only way. Once students grasp this truth, literature becomes dynamic, alive and ‘available”. In the short story, “A Rose for Emily”, writer William Faulkner uses plot, character and setting to demonstrate Emily’s refusal to transition into the “New South”.

Miss Emily is also decaying, but it is subtle and internal--the awful smell that begins to permeate from her dwelling is a reflection of the withering woman within rotting. Perhaps most tragically, Miss Emily’s isolation is far from self-inflicted. Her blind devotion to the ones she loves; her father, her husband, her home; only serves to further condemn her actions. Her neighbors disregard toward her inabilty to let go of her father after his death, despite the delicacy of her being, caused for her madness to fester. “She told them her father was not dead.

Sophomore year, I joined my High School's division of Kiwanis Key Club. The club prided itself with their devotion to community service. I thought that the club would be a great vehicle for me to assist my community while creating and expanding my relationships. However, I was greatly disappointed in the club my Sophomore year. There appeared to be little leadership present, so hardly any community service successfully took place. I made it my goal to gain a leadership position and turn the club around. Junior year, I was elected as President of the club and was re-elected to the position my Senior year.

Emily was a woman that was not well liked by anyone. The story starts off with her already being dead. Men were there sort of for a respectful affection, while the women were mostly there out curiosity to see the inside of her home. Throughout Emily’s life no one talked to her, got to know her or had tried to be her friend. Everyone thought she was weird and her home had a rotten smell that made everyone not want to go near her home or her for that matter. Later in the story we find out that the smell came from a dead body which turns out was Emily’s dead husband, she had been sleeping with him. It showed that even though everyone knew what she had done and what was really going on in her home. They still went inside just because they were curious. Students became aware that everyone will something from you. In the closing of the course students read poetry. There was many poems about many different things. One that was read really stuck out. The poem is There Is The Worst and Then There Is More by Clementine Von Radics. It is about a little girl who thinks that life isn’t full of hurting. She needs to keep her body bulletproof, even her heart and emotions. The truth is never beautiful all because of what kind of people there are out there. The students discover yet again that there are people out there to hurt you. All in all don’t be so naive in this world full of lies and just

I don't really know what to discuss here so this may not be the best discussion assignment you've ever seen. I've obviously been falling behind on some of my assignments, but now I have time to actually work on iSchool, so my grade should go up soon hopefully. I've been trying to improve my grade recently by doing all of the work I missed, so that should all be sent to you by the end of this weekend. I honestly only took this class so I could get ahead and start English 5-6 next year, rather than English 3-4 since I'm hoping to have almost all my credits by senior year, so I'll start working harder soon. I already talked to my counselor about this, but I'm wondering if there's a way that once I finish English 3, I can immediately start English

Faulkner’s use of southern gothic writing style helps the reader build a mental depiction of Miss Emily. When the town sent their ambassadors to discuss the taxes that were owed, Faulkner described Miss Emily as “bloated, like a body long submerged in motionless water” (2182). This description gives the reader the sense that the character is not well. Faulkner’s description that Miss Emily looked bloated achieves the desired effect on the reader to show how hideous she appears. This graphic description, combined with the author’s depressing description of the parlor (2182), makes the reader think of death. The reader gets the sense of being in a funeral parlor which helps to strengthen Faulkner’s narrative.

1) The completed assignment that I believe to be the best example of who I am as a student is the Weekly Writing Topic assignment. In addition, I believe WWT assignment is the best representation of who I am as a student since the assignment shows my progress throughout the first semester. Furthermore, I can visibly see my improvement on my last WWT on the first semester compare to the first one that I did in the beginning with the school year, where I was still learning to adapt to high school expectations. In my opinion, WWT is like amy progress report that indicates what I have learned and how I have improved in the first semester. Therefore, WWT is the best example of me as a student.

Before entering this class I had moderate writing abilities and poor analyzing abilities. Since this is a writing class I knew it would consist of a lot of writing. However I didn’t expect this class to be so focused on research. So from this class I learned more than just writing and research abilities, I absorbed the capability to read better as well as reflect.

At first Glance, “The Soul Selects Her Own Society” by Emily Dickinson is puzzling, even meaningless. However, upon further analysis it is clear that the poet has made several deliberate choices to assist the reader in discerning the poems meaning. Her deployment of poetic devices correlates to the narrative she is writing, allowing the reader to deeply perceive the poems message. Emily Dickinson’s “The Soul Selects Her Own Society” provides commentary on an individual’s ability to decide who can enter the most intimate parts of her life, which the reader can empathize with through figurative language, repetitive sounds, and enjambment.
