    I Love the Hour Just Before My initial reaction to this poem was that I share the same emotions the author expresses throughout the poem. I’ve been in a situation where you’re getting ready for an event or something similar to that and you become anxious for the event to start. That’s how I felt while reading this poem.

    Stoker made extreme use of langual flattery but as there were dangerous conflicts, he needed to leave some of that out to ensure that the reader’s attention would not fade. The boat scene was obviously a different technique but that was because it was written as a to the point writing captain who suddenly had so much more to describe, it was also needed for later clarification to enclose what happened on the boat. Stephen King, to me, is a master of vocabulary because of his grand choice of words to describe

    Most works of literature are full of symbolism. The symbolism they contain can vary from a character’s personality and actions representing an idea to an object representing an idea. The short story “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker makes great use of this symbolism. The primary struggle in this short story takes place when the oldest daughter Dee returns home to her family’s estate. A contrast between two vastly different approaches on tradition and honoring one’s heritage is shown immediately. This

    again - mindfully of course; yep, worth noting that, pens are available, allegedly. I cradle myself in anguish with the "poetry" so-called creative terminology --- indeed, I can be sure, 'Despacito's' purpose is to make your whole body a manuscript; written in Latin; well we don't want to pay witness to English translation on a daily basis by looking in the mirror, staring at oneself, thinking: "I wish the manuscript made sense." --- meh, last time, I get 'kiss stripped' by Daddy Yankee. During those

    literature is important. I will give personal examples about why I think that reading and writing are important. We have used written language from the beginning of time. Our ancestors from a long time ago left us written records, symbolism, and pictures to tell us a story about their lives. A lot of these languages I personally cannot read but they are just as important as our language is now. If they did not leave these records we probably would not be as successful of a country as we are today. Books

    For me, writing has always been a challenge. I always felt like that I could not express myself with the words I had been taught or that somehow I had been left out on the instructions on how to properly write. It’s always frustrated me that writing has been a challenge, and that may be why I enjoy reading so much because other people seem to have a way with words that I don’t. I love reading other people’s words a lot more than my own so much so that I tried avoiding writing as much as possible
