His tone is light-hearted and humorous, while still inspiring students to be the best possible. Whoever reads this article will find themselves chuckling at Sedaris’ clever humor and in the process receive a valuable lesson. Brenda Miller and Suzanne Paoloa, in the article “The Writing Process and Revision,” assert that through proper drafting,
Othello responds to this very calmly and confidently by asking Brabanzio and his men to lower their weapons so that they can talk. The next display of Othello’s impeccable language is when he dazzled his audience with a forty lined speech that effortlessly wins over the Duke himself. In Othello’s speeches, before he is corrupted, we hear the voice of a man who “commands/Like a full soldier” – virile, spare, and pointed: “Tis better as it is”; “Let him do his spite”; “Not I. I must be found”; in part, the voice of open and generous comradeship; “The goodness of the night upon you friends”; “How does my old acquaintance of this isle” But it is above all a voice remarkable for its eloquence and its rare poetry. Othello’s language before his fall is noble and spacious, the product of a clear and wholesome spirit. His images are fresh, rich, and often exotic, rising naturally from fullness of experience in strange and distant places.
By and by the curiosity masters the fear, and they come swimming, creeping and flying towards him; and as he is still immovable, they not only resume their haunts and their ordinary labors and manners, show themselves to him in their work-day trim, but also volunteer some degree of advances towards fellowship and good understanding with a biped who behaves so civilly and well. These sentences have a variety of words in them, making the writing less boring, and it puts more emphasis on the short sentences and
When Assef gives someone a little legal education, you get the impression that he enjoys it and doesn’t care about hurting people as it says ‘I will never forget how Assef’s blue eyes glinted with a light not entirely sane and how he grinned, how he grinned, as he pummelled that poor kid unconscious’. You get the impression that he finds this funny and thinks that he has the right to hurt people and enjoy it and find it amusing at the same time. In the book we learn the perfect word that describes and sums up Assef this word is “sociopath”, this is the also the word that Amir uses to describe Assef. I think that are first encounter with assef, kind of prepares us for what happens later, as we learn that he is a sick minded person by how he think he can treat people, but I don’t think that from this impression we get of Assef we don’t think he would do what he did to Assef, we would just think that he would beat him up. I think that Hassan reaction to Assef, when he threatens to give Amir a little legal education, is extremely brave especially their difference in class.
The Ropes: “The Sincerest Form of Flattery” In chapter six of The Ropes, Stanley faces a new and different challenge that he must overcome. In this chapter, his boss, Kerry, is, “a stickler for detail and intolerant of incompetence.” Kerry is able to enforce this belief because of his tremendous knowledge and expertise. While working for Kerry, Stanley makes a mistake in front of a group of clients and Kerry quickly corrects him in an abrasive manner. Although Kerry publically embarrassed Stanley during the meeting, Stanley used the incident as a learning point in order to improve his own technical knowledge. Because Stanley admires Kerry, Stanley seeks to emulate his behavior; however, Stanley is unable to replicate Kerry’s power leaving
His unorthodox methods not only taught the boys to think for themselves, but they also awoke the boys’ inner desires and dreams. This movie does an excellent job of portraying the school’s four pillars (tradition, honor, discipline, and excellence) and the four I’s (individualism, innocence, intuition, and imagination) through members of the Dead Poets Society, specifically Todd Anderson and Charlie “Nuwanda” Dalton. Todd Anderson showed the best understanding of the philosophies of transcendentalism, notably Ralph Waldo Emerson’s. Todd failed to follow Emerson’s philosophy of “Imitation is suicide” until the very last minute of the movie, when he daringly stood up on his desk and called out “Oh Captain, my Captain!” to Mr. Keating. He could not hold in his guilt anymore because he felt bad for conforming, or imitating, what the other members of the Dead Poets Society had done in Mr. Nolan’s office.
One can always refute anything they’d like, but to be effective, one needs to have appropriate facts for back-up and a dominating style that brings it all together. Dave Barry has done a great job tying his hyperboles and humor to appease the audience. His constant joking and exaggeration kept the audience content and involved in the writing. His diction level being informal keeps the audience up to date with Barry’s latest issues and lets them relate to it with the visual types and personification that he presents throughout it. Together, they reflected his purpose and brought about a negative, mocking tone to the piece and displayed to the free world that kitchen appliances and remote controls may be too complex someday, if they aren’t
Also, the teacher wants to tell her to enjoy it on top of to believe it. The speaker further states, “That changing your mind is one of the best ways of finding out whether or not you still have one.” The word choice of the speaker shows that he is a decent man with good thoughts to help his student. He tried his best to help Lilly when her classmates are making funs of her. He even named the poem “Like Lilly Like Wilson”. It seems like he did it on purpose so he can tell the story behind the title and show why he named the title this way.
Society and the stereotypes all around us enjoy pointing out the fact that teenage boys are selfish, spoiled, crazy, and rude. Why do they do this? People love reading and hearing about stories regarding these types of things; they create conversation, and give people a reason to believe what they believe. Imagine if every adolescent male was perfect in their actions; they performed every act with generosity, obeyed their parents and mentors at all costs, and were very polite and kind to everyone. This would be boring in the eyes of the media, because they enjoy pointing out flaws and showcasing them to the world.
Effective writing is a type of writing that immediately involves the reader's interest and carries them through to the final paragraph with no loss of concentration. I think Cecil did a great job with keeping his paragraphs interesting and not too boring, he didn't but too much information but the right amount. Throughout the story he explains the point of the essay, there's emotion, examples, and history as to why blacks get mad. He doesn't just write about how bad whites treat blacks and that they're all to blame. Racism is a very touchy subject and in the end of his essay he explains that the black community does have a role to play.
