If there is one word that can describe Raffel’s translation of Beowulf compared to Heaney’s, the word is simplified. Many literary techniques, including syntax, diction, and figurative language, are either absent or expedited in Raffel’s translation. Therefore, his version would be a much easier read for his audience in terms of understanding the plot and the language. The first difference seen once Heaney’s and Raffel’s translations are juxtaposed is the use of capital letters. Unlike Heaney’s translation, Raffel’s translation uses a capital letter at the beginning of every line.
In the attempt to capture truth in writing, writers and readers alike are cognisant of the artifice that occurs in the process of writing. This oxymoron; that truth and authenticity can result from artifice is the basis of the conflict that occurs between concepts of reality, truth and literary realism. The nature of fiction itself presents tension between truth and artifice: writers abide by the facets of literary realism, which has a “fidelity to the truth” (M.H. Abrams), and must create artifices to deliver meaning and create truth, utilising techniques of fiction such as metaphor, figures, imagery and dialogue which aren’t necessarily true. In order to create a sense of authenticity, Nam Le abides by verisimilitude in his short stories “Love and Honour and Pity and Pride and Compassion and Sacrifice” and “Tehran Calling” in his collection The Boat.
Some may say that the written word is solely influenced by the spoken; that one’s written thoughts are a direct result of something one has personally said, heard, or interpreted. Others will argue that a story told through continuous verbal translation can only lead to a less significant conclusion than that which was originally intended. Regardless, establishing a definition for the relationship between the custom of oral tradition and the short story as a literary genre proves to be a complex argument. Oral tradition is thought to have allowed the short story genre to emerge as a tool of knowledge – to create new ideas in a permanent text rather than preserving those of oral cultures. Debates and opinions aside, the real question lies not
Through any and every writing, an author has a point hidden within literary elements. With literary elements authors develop a style to their writing to prove the point they intended from the beginning. There are many various literary elements to make up a rhetorical situation, to develop a side of ideas, some very commonly used in especially rhetorical situations. Like allusion, hyperbole, rhetorical questions, hypophora, and commonly simile. Mohandas K. Gandhi and Henry David Thoreau speak of and develop similar government opinions and points, through their interpretations of Civil Disobedience through literary elements; they prove similar points of civil disobedience but with their own style of writing and use of rhetorical devices.
Each author’s method in integrating the oral history may be different and, to some degree, inadequate, but the presence of oral accounts in their essays give voice to different perspectives of that time. It is evident, then, that altogether the oral history in each essay holds value and plays a significant role in the integrity of each argument. We must be careful, however, to fully accept the perspectives and arguments the author presents to us as definitively as any individual identity in any historical account, including the author, has the power to misinterpret and miscommunicate historical accounts accidently or
An explication should not be confused with a paraphrase, which puts the poem’s literal meaning into plain prose. An analysis separates a poem into elements as a means to understanding that subject. Some possible choices are tone, literal meaning, imagery, figures of speech, sound, rhythm, theme, and symbolism. Comparison and contrast places two poems side by side and studies their differences and similarities in order to shed light on both works. When writing an effective comparison and contrast paper involves the following steps; pair two poems with much in common, point to further unsuspected resemblances, show noteworthy differences, and carefully consider your essay’s organization.

What are the Main Ideas of this Lens? * Stereotypes distort people and races * Multiculturalism allows us to look at literature through a perspective of empathy for those who are different * It shows us any instance of victimization has relevance to everyone, not solely the individual victimized. Especially in a text we may apply this. * Ipseity vs. Alterity * Multiculturalism shows us how to view life while we consider others (alterity) before ourselves (Ipseity) * Ipseity vs. Alterity provides a strong theme that can be found in almost all literature as the selfish human nature of failing to respect the ways of others. * Post-colonialism * This is a smaller lens inside the multicultural lens.
