If an object is viewed by most or all readers in the same manner, the author is making use of conventional symbolism. However, if the meaning associated with the object is contingent upon its use within the context of the story, the author is making use of literary symbolism. Clearly, by using the paring knife as a symbol of emotional pain, as opposed to physical utility, he makes it into a literary symbol. Individual readers are able to reflect on experiences and recall observations that help them to view the paring knife as more than a device use for cutting. Oppenheimer not only provides this double meaning for the reader, but also for the characters within the story.
Unlike Heaney’s translation, Raffel’s translation uses a capital letter at the beginning of every line. His use of these capital letters can be assumed to be for his unique style; however, only more confusion is created. On top of capital usage for sentence beginnings and proper nouns, his overuse of capital letters can be sometimes frustrating for the reader because it makes the last line seem as it is a complete thought, when grammatically it is not. In the end, his usage of capital letters does not pose a significant problem, but only a slight impediment.

Mr. Murray explains how we need to be critical readers. Ondaatje's essay is creative and uses figurative language to give us a "sense of place" and a "sense of
Patrick’s College use a first-person view, showing us the subjective views of the poet. Similarly, in Looking for Alibrandi, the story also uses a first-person perspective, showing us Josie’s subjective thoughts; however, they can be prejudiced at times. She longs to be a part of a world with “sleek haircuts and upper-class privileges”. “A world where I can be accepted. Please God, let me be accepted by someone other than the underdog.” In Feliks Skrzynecki, the poet does not feel that he has a sense of belonging mainly due to his cultural heritage, while in St. Patrick’s College, the persona struggles to have a sense of belonging in his new, unfamiliar school.

When reading Edgar Allan Poe’s, “The Tell-Tale Heart”, it is more easily understood as a figurative text rather than a literal text.

In the beginning of the story, the narrator describes the old man’s eye.

They competed heavily with one another, but a lot of people say that they where really good (Waley 20). In fact, many people say that the poems written by the two are directed towards the other. Each of these poets use his emotions and experiences in the Tang Dynasty of China to create poems that illustrate and comment on many different aspects of ancient Chinese life. Also, both Tu Fu and Li Po have similar key images. However, by examining the friendship poems for insights into their relationship, one discovers the contrast between their attitudes toward life.

Cover Letter In discussing with you my mistakes in Paper 1, I decided to revise my last submission. After talking with you, I realized that some of my diction and uses of language were ambiguous, and at times unable to comprehend well. Therefore, I went through the paper and fixed what mistakes I could find. Also, I clarified my thesis by splitting the sentence into two separate ones. Along with these two adjustments, I went through and fixed some grammatical errors and anything else that would keep you from understanding my viewpoints on the Tao-Te Ching.
