    more sophisticated words, words from back then such as: Thee, shall, praise, ideal, grace, soul, and breadth. The use of these words help to make the sonnet sound more from the time it was written in. And that is always important, it's like a setting in a way because it helps to establish that the piece was written in the Victorian Age. My interpretation of this piece of literature is that is was simply wonderful, it was thought out very well and the writer was very clear of their feelings and

    Explication of The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost When reading “The Road Not Taken,” by Robert Frost, I found that it was personal, especially to the author. The fact that it was written in first person form helped me to conclude that it was probably about the author. I think the reasoning behind his writing of this poem was because in life, you have many obstacles to overcome and many choices and decisions to make, which opens a path that leads the way to your future. Since those things

    Another example would be that the story continues after Mrs. Mallard had died from the heart disease. The point of view is important because if it was written in any other form than the we, the readers would not have known what Mrs. Mallard was feeling after she got the news or what the doctors had to say after she had died.

    An Hour Response

    In “Story of an Hour”, written by Kate Chopin, there were quite a few unexpected events. Initially, I expected the story to be longer than two pages. I also thought that the story’s name could have been different. For example, the story instantly starts off by talking about Mrs. Mallard’s heart problem, and that fact is repeated throughout the story. Why not title it something like “Matters of the Heart”? But, after reading the story I realized that time is an important aspect of the story- all the

    to anyone who has previously read any Percy Jackson books. This is because they are a little similar but different when it comes to powers and adventures. That is who I would recommend this book too. I rate this book a 10 because of the way it was written. Each page would have more and more details about that part in the book. If they were in a cell, they would describe the cell. Another thing i really liked about this book is how intriguing it was. When I reading one page it was so interesting I would

    "Luck or Opportunity," what does this term really mean? It's quite a tough phrase to define, so i'll take time to explain. Luck or Opportunity, can have various meanings to different people, but I think it means exactly as it says. The phrase is basically describing one's gifts from life (or blessings as some may say), and their success. It's dealing with the common good of people and things happening around us. The meaning of the phrase is extremely universal to some but for me it's a good thing

    Soapstone: Alabama Moon Characters: In the novel Alabama Moon a boy named Moon is the main character. Moon is very independent because throughout the story he does a lot of things on his own including living alone. On page 3 I found out that he was ten years old because it said “I was ten years old and he’d taught me everything I needed to know about living out in the forest.” So this showed me that he knew how to live in his own out in the forest and that he was ten years old which was pretty
