The cause of someone to be unable to move or walk properly is called a cripple. In the essay written by Nancy Mairs, On Being a Cripple, she describes her feelings about word choices used to describe “cripple”. The author’s purpose is to identify herself as a confident and tough person capable of using the word “cripple” and able to rise above her disability. She wants to inform the audience about her life as a “cripple.” Mair’s adopts a confident tone by using strong diction, figurative language, and syntactical features to encourage readers to understand her opinions toward wanting to be called “cripple” as a way of expressing her acceptance towards being a “cripple.” Mairs uses denotative and connotative diction through the use of specific word choice to describe tone. By identifying herself as “tough”, she characterizes herself as a person capable of withstanding hardship instead of using “strong” which implies being able to withstand pressure.
Her reviews would take shape only after she gave herself permission to write a terrible first draft. Lamott’s intended audience is anyone who wants to write, either for class or simply for leisure. Hence, her audience is quite wide and I applaud her for using simple language, without resorting to complex jargons, in making her point. The purpose of her essay is to change the dynamics of writing.

She would let her imagination run wild and this kept her spirit alive. Many people who look back at her story today admire Anne for her strength and optimism. Anne usually felt like “the world was slowly being transformed into a wilderness”, but she never gave up hope. She believed, “that everything would change for the better and that the cruelty would end”. Her writing revealed creativity, wisdom, and depth of emotion.
The first step is to follow Tannin's advice and stop and look at all sides. Tannen uses a persuasive and authoritive tone and is obviously a master with words and metaphors. I believe Tannen has had a positive influence on her audience and given everyone a lot to think about. When I first read Tannen I thought people would not change and liked to argue and debate but after reading fellow classmates drafts I came to realize one person like Tannen can make a
Suzanne has worked so much to become what she is today, and by opening up and sharing her incredible story with us, she has inspired me, and now makes me realise that all that pressure and pain inside can be released, just by talking to someone. I feel great respect for Suzanne, she has gone through so many traumatic experiences in her life and to this very day she stands strong and doesn’t let anything or anyone get in her way. To me Suzanne could be a hero to those women out there who have suffered experiences like these and
The wallpaper symbolizes and reflects the sanity of the main character. As the reader learns more and more about the wallpaper, the more the reader learns about the mental stability of Jane. Although there were many times those she subconsciously questions John’s methods using the wallpaper “unheard of contradictions” and “lame uncertain curves” alluding to the questionable methods that her husband uses to treat her. “John is a physician, and perhaps - (I would not say it to a living soul, of course, but this is dead paper and a great relief to my mind) - perhaps that is one reason I do not get well faster.” (Gilman.1892). And It is through the dead paper, her writing and self expression that the readers can sympathize with her plight as she says “I don't know why I should write this.
Max's story aims to encourage Liesel to be brave and willing to counter words of hatred with words of love; these final lines suggest that others would be willing to follow her if she took such a stand. 10. "I am haunted by humans." (550) The Book Thief is framed by Death's and death's inability to reconcile the remarkable cruelty and the remarkable compassion of which human beings are simultaneously capable.

She usually finishes her rounds early, so she enjoys helping out other people on her down time.
Looking for Alibrandi is written entirely in first person enabling you to see how she feels about certain people and how she feels about what is happening to her in her life. You can tell that she doesn’t like snobs or racism because she expresses those feelings inside her head and as you are inside her head it is as if you are getting a personal commentary from the main character throughout the whole story, making her a believable character. The use of language in the story helps establish a confident relationship with Josephine. She uses chatty slang to make the reader more comfortable with the story line, especially when she attempts to rationalize a feeling or action on her behalf. Her father calls her “our obnoxious creation” because she has witty observations and is never short of something to
