William Carlos Williams makes great use of several elements in the presentation of the poem. Some of these elements are language, form and content. First of all I was greatly attracted to the aspect of content. The author chose to narrow down to old age as the essential content of the poem. Actually it activated me as I read through the poem.
To effectively show this, he uses rhetorical strategies such as italicizing words, and the use of punctuation and repetition. In this excerpt, J.D. Salinger used italics to show the change in tone of the character. This rhetorical strategy is useful in defining Caulfield and his view of life. An example of this would be when his sister Phoebe corrects him and tells him the poem was by Robert Burns.
There were many describing words and was very detailed.

Bodily Harm: Keats's Figures in the "Ode on a Grecian Urn” Explication Essay From the beginning of the essay we can distinguish that Marjorie Garson is not concerned about Keats himself, therefore far from a historical critic, however we can appreciate that she is interested in the literary work of Keats’s “Ode on a Grecian Urn”. Although an objection to New Criticism is that they have too much attention to culture, Garson’s writes her essay “Bodily Harm: Keats's Figures in the "Ode on a Grecian Urn” to make us understand the social history that took place when this poem was being written. Specifically, Garson is pursuing the issue of the representation and the culture of the different types of groups in literature, making it an activist agenda in which she doesn’t want to change the past, but wants us to change the world in order for a better tomorrow. She does a very well job explaining the power dynamic, the international politics and sexual politics. Garson believes that Keats is reinforcing the representation in race, class and gender relations.
Rather than saying, “cutting” back, as most would, she says the more gracious thing, offering insight into her upbringing as well as her parent’s parenting styles for the reader. It is clear in the excerpt that the first person point of view affects the tone, by displaying Leah’s reactions and varied feelings toward the situations at hand, and other characters. When Leah assesses her sister, Rachel’s beauty aids, and says she cares “for naught but appearances.” This again
When it was modernized there were mistakes that resulted in changing her narrative that completely changed her story. It eventually was corrected. The website did a good job in giving her credit for being America’s first best-seller. Also, acknowledging that her narrative was mistakenly reprinted over time to the public that way public would be aware of knowing her true story. During my online research on Mary Rowlandson’s negative stereotyping of Native Americans, I came across this site: http://eng307womenwriters.wordpress.com/2013/03/03/the-captive-and-the-heathen-demonizing-native-americans-through-religion-in-captivity-narratives/.
This may be because she was not able to interact with her mother as a child so in an attempt to understand her mother better she studied her works and through this could have been influenced by her mother’s unconventional ideologies. It is likely that from young age Mary Shelley had her parents radical and controversial ideologies imprinted on her, changing her tabula rasa into a complex brain of liberal thoughts that heavily contradicted the social orthodox. This may be why Frankenstein dejected by critics for its social repulsive ideas. The sublime in Frankenstein is affluent throughout we can only presume that this heavy influence is inspired by the revolutionary romantic writers working at the time. Her father’s friends in the literary circles were often socialising with the Godwin household, Shelley famously had Samuel Taylor Coleridge recite passages of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner to her as a child, a writer who helped launch the romantic movement, and, a poem that is of even more strikingly important now as it was then.
After telling her parents, the decision is made to send Billy Jean away to a special school where she can learn how to read and write. I find this ironic for two reasons. One is that the most vibrant of the characters with the most sparkle and zest is in fact the one that can not see. Billy Jean sees more within her family then her actually visual family members do. Also I find it ironic that it isn’t until after she is fully diagnosed that her family wants to send her away for an education to a special school.
(23.86-87) Aunty sees the Finch name like an exclusive brand – it’s valuable when you can only find it at Bloomingdale’s, but make it available at Wal-Mart and it’ll seem cheap. Aunt Alexandra’s obsession with “What Is Best For the Family” (13.22) – in Scout’s ears, Aunty often speaks in Capital Letters Of Doom – is part of her more general way of classifying people by family heritage. Aunt Alexandra, in underlining the moral of young Sam Merriweather's suicide, said it was caused by a morbid streak in the family. Let a sixteen-year-old girl giggle in the choir and Aunty would say, "It just goes to show you, all the Penfield women are flighty." Everybody in Maycomb, it seemed, had a Streak: a Drinking Streak, a Gambling Streak, a Mean Streak, a Funny Streak.
In the articles we read, the authors created a fundamental value specific to their culture by using examples of the effects they had with different members of their family. In Lee’s “Mute in an English-Only World,” it shows his level of maturity due to his mother’s influence on him an her respect in the culture. In "Mother Tongue," Tan explains how her mother changed her writing by changing her way of receiving the language. Lee and Tan, both of immigrant backgrounds, use their memories of deceased mothers to build credibility in their respective articles. Both of these writers were molded by their mothers.
