Toward a Recovery of Nineteenth Century Farming Handbooks While researching texts written about nineteenth century farming, I found a few authors who published books about the literature of nineteenth century farming, particularly agricultural journals, newspapers, pamphlets, and brochures. These authors often placed the farming literature they were studying into an historical context by discussing the important events in agriculture of the year in which the literature was published (see Demaree

The narrator of the Cathedral is a unique and interesting character. He possesses several undesirable qualities, which he displays throughout the story. As protagonist he is a shallow, insensitive, ignorant and jealous individual. The author shows evidence of this through the narrator interaction with other characters, and his choice of words, when describing other characters. However, at the end of the story we witness the transformation of the narrator and the opening of his eyes as the story unfold

Most people in this world have gone through some sort of journey or challenge to help them grow as a human being. So, that is why in both “Cathedral” written by Raymond Carver and The Island written by Caspian Tredwell-Owen we see character development and growth, because it is easy to relate to as a reader. While there is some difference between “Cathedral” and The Island that are evident, the similarities are pronounced by the journey and challenges to self discovery of the characters and confronting

co-workers mentioned the use of miniature ponies as service animals. I was intrigued by the idea of a miniature pony serving as a guide animal. They have mentioned studies being conducted on this subject, and I have decided to make this my research topic for this class. Purpose The purpose for this research paper was to discover the feasibility of miniature horses serving as guide animals. I know not all people like dogs or don’t trust dogs. What are disabled persons choices in service animals? How about

There were many connections that I have experienced, between the work I have done and the course outcomes. I have used a lot of the outcomes such as research process, style conventions, multimodal design, and reflective interactions in my writings throughout the semester. Three of the outcomes I will discuss our research process, style conventions, and reflective interactions. One of the various outcomes that connects to the work I have done throughout the semester was the research process. The

Importance of Documentation The word plagiarism is mentioned in all kinds of settings. Professors and teachers will tell students that plagiarism is not tolerated. Bosses and managers will tell their employees that stealing others’ work is prohibited. People will often suffer many consequences for plagiarising. But those large fines and repercussions can all be avoided if documentation is given for the information that was taken. Documentation can simply be including in-text citations and adding

Raymond Carver's Cathedral (1983), uses elements such as tone, which is the author’s attitude toward a subject and style, which describes the ways that the author uses words — the author's word choice, sentence structure, figurative language, and sentence arrangement, to create a main character who inhabits all the qualities of an antihero, in order to establish his ignorance towards a blind man whom he reluctantly "welcomes" into his home. Carver initially presents the husband, who is also the narrator

The story beautifully depicts the process of an individual who transforms from a person with lack of knowledge and ignorant towards knowledgeable soul, due to an encounter with his wife’s blind friend Robert, to an individual that is enlightened. The cathedral, in this story, is a mere subject brought up at the end of this story which becomes the object of Bub's enlightenment

When pursuing a career as an author, finding an agent should be the step immediately after polishing your manuscript. Although some people prefer to submit directly to a publisher, that’s no longer a reliable method. Most of the bigger publishing houses don’t accept unsolicited submissions. Besides that, agents have network connections and insider information that you do not. Submitting to an agent is the recommended course of action. Aside from the query letter itself, the synopsis is the most important
