Writing style

The excerpt alone shows the amazing writing style from Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. There are many themes within the story and the excerpt and one of them is that all people are supposedly created equal. Supposedly is a part of this because the excerpt shows things that say that people are not created equal. Atticus Finch is trying to prove people are equal. Atticus Finch is trying to defend Tom Robinson (a black person) from being charged of being tempted by a white person. This brings up

It is often said that death is an inescapable inevitability in life. In Virginia Woolf’s narration “The Death of the Moth,” the struggle between life and death is depicted exactly as such—a battle that is not, in the end, ever won. Woolf utilizes rhetorical devices such as tone, fragmentation within the narration, and metaphors to convey this message and invoke the feeling of pity in her reader. As the tone shifts throughout the piece, Woolf’s metaphors and stylistic choices strengthen and drive

subjective disbelief of a situation with which he does not agree. The sour statement, "just amazing," while unnecessary to the storyline, depicts exactly this. Carver specifically makes the writing seem hostile and cynical, by his use of conversational tone. As a result, we connect these characteristics of the writing with that of the narrator. Through the author's use of diction, more aspects of the narrator's personality are revealed. Simply from word choice, we learn that the narrator is prejudicial

It is something everyone does, continuously, in everything we do; a running dialogue of thoughts always occupying our minds, perceptible to only us. In everyday life, this common train of thoughts is never scrutinized or examined, but in literature, it is something referred to as stream of consciousness and it is what will be surveyed in this essay. The two stories being observed are Katherine Porter’s “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall”, a short story about an 80-year-old woman’s thoughts and memories

Diction is tone that the author sets to the literary work by the words he chooses to use. Diction is not only the choice of words that the author decides to use it is also the type of mood, or style of writing within the literary work. The use of some of the words is very significant in each of the texts. In “Jack and Jill”, it hides the true meaning of the death of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, while in “This Be The Verse” Larkin talks about how people in the late sixties hardly ever used

Sephora Solomon Professor Wojahn Poetry ENGL 345 29 October 2017 First Paper: Elizabeth Bishop, James Wright comparison As masters of imagery, both Elizabeth Bishop and James Wright composed vivid poetry as a road map to a significant closing. Bishop and Wright often opted to dramatic gestures or statements at the closing of their poems rather than the predictable expected metaphor. Use of dramatization leaves the reader with complete understanding of the narrative’s key message. Replacing the

Concision and Repetition in Babel’s Collected Stories With laconic power, Isaac Babel tells short stories that are at once cold and full of exultation. This effect arises as much from his prose style as from the wrenching content of his narratives. In this paper, I will explore several techniques that compress his prose to the lapidary and one that is more expansive and cuts against his impulse to concision. One of Babel’s most striking tools for reducing his text to essentials is the simile (and
