Here’s an example: “Caitlin called and said, “My Mom’s dead!” Dialogues are important because they help your readers visualize your experience. Good job, Andrea! *Andrea 6568721 has requested that you respond to the Main Idea/Thesis: You can still work on developing your main idea by making sure that it expresses clearly what your narrative is about. Remember that the purpose of a narrative is to tell a story. It is about a series of events, but you have to remember that those events must revolve around a single idea.
Cotton Page 1 Seeing. “Seeing”, by Annie Dillard is one of the most descriptive essays I’ve read so far. In this essay, Annie Dillard is not only talking about seeing in one way, she is talking about seeing like no one else sees things. In this essay, Dillard finds many ways to show you what she means. She creates emphasis, showing the readers how she feels.
In my opinion, I got the idea that this book was written more for the workings of the mind but at the same time Steinbeck wanted to make you feel something as you read this. I think it was written for the workings of the mind because he wanted to get his point across about the constant internal battle of good vs. bad. What I enjoyed most about this book was the way he used characters to portray actions or ideas. For example, he used Cathy to represent evil and Aron to represent the internal battle of good vs.
As early as page four, the characterization of Lennie’s uncontrollable strength was denoted by Steinbeck’s description of the way he dragged his feet being similar to “the way a bear drags his paws” (4). And just like Candy’s dog, Lennie had also died, but mark that in both cases, they die by means of gun from their best friends. George’s decision to kill Lennie goes back to the extended metaphor between Lennie and Candy’s dog throughout the book. After the death of Candy’s dog, an interpersonal discussion between George and Candy leads to one important moment. Candy tells George that he “ought to of shot that dog [himself]“(60) and that he “shouldn’t ought to of let no stranger shoot [his] dog”(60).

4) Compare the different ways in which language is used for effect in the two texts. Give examples and analyse what the effects are. Item 3 and item 1. ‘ A decision is needed’ are the first words we read in item 3 and this immediately signifies to the reader that it isn’t as lose hearted as item 1 and the words portray a sense of danger for the rest of the article. In Item 1 Hyde only talks about the positives of her adventure, ‘spectacular environment on earth’ she explains how she loves the beautiful environment that she’s in and the enthusiasm shown in the writing connotes that this is a happy relaxed piece but the use of technical terms such as the alliteration to tell us that there’s ‘rocks, rocks, everywhere’ keeps us engaged and
By using these shortcuts we were able to slide the sounds together to make words and begin our reading process. I had my student to take the shortcut “ch” and “sh” and call out words that have those sounds in them. I was really surprised that she related the sounds to the names of our family members first and then was able to come up with some words from her
Adichie’s message is heartfelt. The infusion of passion and empathy are clear indicators of the use of pathos (compassion not pity). One clear expression of such emotional impact is seen when she discusses the consequences of the single story. She posits that it “robs people of dignity, makes our recognition of our equal humanity difficult, and “emphasizes how we are different rather than how we are similar” (Adichie, 14:04). She embodies the conundrum and the narrative she presents alludes to experiences that we can empathize with through a logical and characteristic breadth of mutual understanding.
Ashlee Williams November 4, 2012 Creative Writing Response Paper In Alice Sebold’s novel “The Lovely Bones”, it’s apparent that her main focus is to show the significance between life and death and how the love for someone forms a bridge between the two. Aside from her goal in showing the relationship between those two elements, she also strives to show the reader the story in a different perspective unlike any other and does so in a spectacular way. Throughout the story, Sebold does a wonderful job of narrating the story in a first person point of view. We learn from the text that it’s being told by Susie Salmon, the story’s main character who is just an innocent 14-year old girl who is victim to rape and murder after heading from school one day. You can easily draw from the voice of the character that she is still very young and has yet to reach the age of great maturity.

Characteristics of word choice in descriptive writing tend to bring clarity and entertain fresh ideas.
