By critiquing my ability to convey an effective structure in my piece, I have realised the lack of coherence and expansion of evidence that I have yet to acknowledge, creating an effect that is less attentive to readers. Similarly, I have also, in some instances, ignored the clarity that is needed in each paragraph by the simplicity of sign posting ideas that could have created a smoother flow through the structure. Part of the reason why I condemn this piece of writing as ‘ineffective’ has much to do with the lack of clarity in that which I defined as structure as opposed to what structure really consisted of. My inability to recognize the significance of structure in a piece of writing added to a loss of creativity and individuality. The idea of a structured essay, in my mind, solely consisted on five separate paragraphs, with the essentials of an introduction and conclusion.
Daniel E. Samide said of Ambrose Bierce‘s work, “Bierce’s story is a vivid reminder of how narrative techniques we may take for granted become powerful when combined by a mastery magician of words. We could all do worse than take a hint from Ambrose Bierce when we ply our own word magic(Samide par.13).” Ambrose Bierce provides the reader many opportunities to better understand the thoughts and emotions of the protagonist, Peyton Farquhar, through his use of symbolism throughout An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge. The symbolism in An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge is first evident in the name of its protagonist, Peyton Farquhar. Peyton Farquhar is a very unusual name. Bierce uses such an odd name to add to the meaning of the story’s plot.
Nonetheless, both articles are idealistic. In another phrase, they are morally wrong. To get a true understanding of what an essay is saying we must concern ourselves with is what the author is truly trying to convey. There are often hidden messages in writing that inexperienced readers often look over and take for granted. This is the issue that is at stake with both readings of “A Modest Proposal” by Jonathan Swift and Garret Hardin’s “Lifeboat Ethics.” Hardin’s essay that is serious in tone, while Swift’s offers similar views appears to be poking fun by starting at in a serious tone at first glance but in reality is far from it.

The author will quote poems from Quincy Adam’s journal and will then try to evaluate what he was implying. John Quincy also wrote documents in the newspaper supporting his father and while he was doing that he would take care of his sick mother (134-136). Overall John Quincy Adams was a very talented writer and most importantly an influential
The Tell-Tale Heart Assignment: We notice that some details in Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” make a literal reading of the story rather difficult. Advance and defend a figurative reading of the story consistent with the story’s details. Poe seems to focus on creating mood throughout his story. Many symbols in this story are interpreted in several different ways depending on the reader. These symbols throughout the story include the old mans eye, the heartbeat and the contradiction between love and hate in which I will be talking about in this paper.
Isaiah Ku ENG 214 – Readings in Fiction Professor Miriam N. Kotzin December 01, 2014 Reflections of Themes In a well-written story, there is a theme that portrays the main idea of the story and usually depicts the central meaning of a literary work. The theme ties everything together and focuses the point of the story around that idea. What attracts me to these fiction stories are that they can show how creative someone can be by incorporating any theme that inspires the author. In my opinion, the short stories “Hills Like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway, “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” by Ernest Hemingway, and “Red Fox Fur Coat” by Teolinda Gersão all provide an underlying message that relates to one another. Hemingway is one of my favorite authors because I feel as if he captures the essence of reality that people can relate to as well as portray a more fictitious setting that most people usually don’t come across.
