To Elude by Allusion Titles of great literary works are not often slapped on with no forethought; in fact most of the time the author saves the title for last, because they want it to have relevance to the plot or story of their work. Some titles' relevance is easy to see and understand, while others can be horribly vague and hard to grasp. Sometimes one must simply trudge through the whole of the work before the title's meaning shines through. In both John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath and in T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land," allusions to turmoil within society and the individual are made within the works, and these ideas are only realized when the full length of each work is read and related to ourselves using the metaphors of wrathful grapes and the wasteland nearly all of us unknowingly live in.
Professional editors and authors agree that dialogue tags should be invisible to the reader in the text so they don't distract or detract from story. Invisible dialogue tags use simple verbs. It's generally accepted and recommended that two verbs are preferred: said and asked. Dialogue tags aid in mimicking speech patterns. Pages of dense, dialogue-only paragraphs do not capture the rhythms of actual speech.

Martin Turner’s leaking of local authority test data in England and Wales to the press (The Daily Telegraph, 30 June 1990) helped to start the current debate on reading and the teaching of reading. He singled out two theorists, Frank Smith and Kenneth Goodman, as particularly responsible for progressive methods and a resulting decline in standards. In some respects, Turner’s critical article (1990) may have turned attention away from something much more significant – that Smith’s and Goodman’s views were already under regular attack. Both Smith and Goodman had much to say about the teaching of reading, but Goodman was the more influential in proposing a distinctive model of the reading process. New research into the reading process Goodman’s widely quoted model of reading as a psycholinguistic guessing game (1976) has many critics.
However they also strive to form meaning within the writing through literary devices, characters, and the piece as a whole. But writing can also be a form of relief from hard ache, melancholy, and sometimes resentment. Writer’s write for themselves because it is what they are meant to do, but along the way they create meaning, conversations with others that they have never come in contact with, but most of all form beautiful forms of art through the simplicity of words. Writing is constructed based around improbable conversations they have with themselves and their readers. They write to express their feelings, opinions, and truths, but prominently themselves.
Language is constantly changing and evolving and we should accept the changes in language instead of tying ourselves down. The most important thing is to make sure that people understand you however you spell the words. We need tools which recognize different spellings - a kind of advanced autocorrect. Lee Simmons (author of text 2) thinks that without rules for correct spelling society would fall apart and you would never be able to be certain that you understood anything that you read correctly. When you write to people, besides your friends, you should do them the courtesy of spelling correctly so they will not have any trouble reading your text, it will also seem more professional.
The lines “We think…we wish…we forget…then, we arrive…we turn away…we look [for a connection to what is now lost]…we miss” show how mislead ideas can cause people to yearn for what they think will bring satisfaction. What they once had somehow gets lost in translation and they find themselves regretfully yearning not for what could be but for what was. The author uses the Middle Eastern immigrants’ story to outline the all too familiar sequence of emotions that come with unfulfilled expectations. This combination of repetition and allegory make this poem accessible to many different people. It transcends the surface story to touch on a basic human
It contains three principles, and they are as follows: 1. Don’t Criticize, condemn or complain. Under this principle the author told so much stories to identify the what, how and why of the act of criticism. Although we are mostly tempted to see view ourselves that we are more righteous than others, and we have better opinions about different stuff. That all won’t matter when you break someone’s pride, there is no joy of breaking others by all means.
You could be a much better writer if you gave yourself time to create a rough copy, revise, and proofread. Procrastination is a rush of adrenalin, but you and your body are getting tired of all-nighters. The art of procrastinating comes with consequences. Both internal and external, you get a zero on a paper because you never handed it in, or you feel anxious of how much time you have to complete the paper.
