In this excerpt from The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, there are many literary devices that assist the audience in understanding the narrator, Nick Carraway, and his view of the Valley of Ashes. The word choice and details used throughout the passage greatly succeed at making the Valley it’s own, distinguishable land. In addition, Fitzgerald uses figurative language like metaphors to give the reader a better understanding of the the depressing and dreary setting. Without the use of these devices

Structure Dillard’s divides the essay into four sections, each containing a different focus. The first section focuses on informing the audience of weasels and their lifestyle. The explanations suggest an informative tone at first but later shifts into a more inquisitive tone because Dillard begins to question the weasels. She introduces a story about an eagle shot down with a weasel in its mouth. She questions the power of such a small animal compared to an eagle because it looked as though the

On the other hand, what if the color swatches were not organized by the brand of paint along with the paint colors not flowing together to see the different shading of reds, blues, yellows, etc.? What if we only knew words from elementary and we had intelligent people using strong words that we have never heard of before? Organization is an important element for life. Without it, life would be a crazy unorganized mess. For example, when explaining how making a quilt you would not start on the sewing

Putting in an enormous amount of time and effort to write a paper just to get it back and receive a poor grade because of silly mistakes is incredibly frustrating. Much of the mistakes I have made on both my Preliminary Writing Assignment and my Reflection paper could have easily been avoided if I were to read through my papers more thoroughly. My writing has improved in the short period of time I have been in Composition I, however I still have lots of room to enhance my papers and I have the resources

Then they will possibly have learned a new word. Pamela DeLoatch wrote that reading can boost self esteem and communication skills, “One educated provider says that since students who read usually have enhanced vocabulary, they can often find the words to express themselves and do not feel as frustrated

delighted to have you play football". These two statements are expressing support for his son's love of this sport, because Roosevelt is showing that he knows how much Ted loves football and what ted is feeling since he did not make the team. In other words, Roosevelt is lowering his son's defenses by stating multiple times that he does love Ted playing football before going into his argument.

far from struggling and shrieking, he merely gazed at the skeleton with cool appreciation” (Larson 39). Larson’s word choice and juxtaposition in this excerpt highlights the eeriness that surrounds Holmes.
