This Iambic Pentameter accompanied with the enjambment is the closest thing to narrating a story in poetry. By almost narrating a story, the poem gives us an insight in to the Egyptian king’s life due to the fact that there are no stanzas, its just an account of the pharaohs life. Enjambment is presented when Shelley writes, “nothing beside remains. Round the decay of that colossal wreck”, this shows that after Ozymandias’ rule and all of the achievements he made, time was even more powerful than the king and everything is gone and decaying. It is a form of irony because even a powerful king cannot control the damaging effects of

Maddie Cossitt Mr. Snow English II PAP- 2 4 September, 2013 Fahrenheit 451: Author’s Purpose Every author has a purpose for composing a piece of literature. When considering author’s purposes, only three reasons exist: to persuade, to inform, or to entertain. These potray themselves as ways to category purposes, however, there is much more meaning behind the purpose of writing. In the novel, Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, none of the “three purposes” applied to the novel.
Vonegut also brings William Shakespeare and James Joyce into the picture because they are some of the greatest writers of all time and they never resorted to using large words in their books, instead they used short sentences to convey their stories to the reader .In Vonegut’s essay he says that we Americans are allowed to write anything that we want as stated in the constitution and no one is allowed to tell us otherwise and this is true or else Vonegut wouldn’t have been able to write his essay How to Write
In no instance has any fact been substantially altered, or in the lease exaggerated” (p. 301) this is one of the many statements that leaves the reader with suspicion. This obvious statement depicts that it is indeed altered and exaggerated to the greatest sense. If every word in Mountains confession claimed to have came out of his mouth there would not be any transformations from first to the third person in his narrative autobiography, “We were on the spot at the hour agreed upon, and disguised ourselves for the adventure. Hyde and Wilson were dressed in white frocks and boots… Mountain was dressed in the same manner, with the addition of a large tail wig, white gloves and a black mask over his face” (p. 290) the transformation of narration is constant throughout the confession. Just by giving a few examples one could speculate that the confession isn’t valid and is influenced by the author’s voice.
An assortment of important texts from ancient Greece and Rome deal with the link between soldiers and homoerotic activities. Since none of them is of an inordinate length, chapter , on the classical world, contains the major commentaries on the subject and several less well known writings as well. Similarly, almost a score of classical writers dealt with Amazons in their histories, plays, and orations. The passages are brief in most instances, their span often being counted in sentences and paragraphs rather than pages, and almost all are included. Considerable evidence is available on homoeroticism in armed services from the seventeenth to the mid-twentieth century, but it survives most often only in fragmentary form.
September 15, 2010 Deborah Cooper Wright American Literature Ernest Hemingway claimed that “Huckleberry Finn is the best book we’ve had. All American writing comes from that. There was nothing before…” (excerpt from the lecture on Huckleberry Finn by Professor Ian Johnston of the Malaspina University-College, Nanaimo, BC). True to the admonishments that Mark Twain gives at the first of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, I found no motive or plot in his work. However, I did find a moral and I did find that the story was completely about the unique American experience.
Analysis of Fences by Wilson Completed by: University of This paper analyzes and discusses the play by August Wilson titled Fences, mainly its characters, major themes, dialogues, and social issues that are drawn upon by the author. Wilson wrote Fences in 1983 not only to address his society concerns but also to prove to himself that he could raise a single character to a much grander scale. Initially he had no plans to write this riveting domestic drama, which ultimately won the most honors of any play in Broadway history, including a Tony for Best Play and a Pulitzer Prize. In fact, having already completed Ma Rainey's Black Bottom and Jitney!, he had intended to follow his own strategy, which was next to write Joe Turner's Come and Gone
True Tales from the Battlefield I’ve found the story How to Tell a True War Story to be a tremendous story with moments of gore, but nonetheless an attractive piece of work. I believe that this story is a representation of his entire story. It’s almost as though O’Brien is being completely honest in this story, and he’s divulging all of the lies and secrets that we will soon read, or have already read. One main idea that I believe O’Brien is trying to get across, throughout the entire story, is the fact that “of course, a true war story is never about war” (296). One line that continues to resonate in my mind is when O’Brien is telling the story of Rat shooting the buffalo, and the letter he writes to Curt’s sister.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616), `The Bard of Avon', English poet and playwright wrote the famous 154 Sonnets and numerous highly successful oft quoted dramatic works including the tragedy of the Prince of Denmark, Hamlet; "Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine ownself be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Farewell: my blessing season this in thee!" --Lord Polonius, Hamlet Act I, Scene 3 While Shakespeare caused much controversy, he also earned lavish praise and has profoundly impacted the world over in areas of literature, culture, art, theatre, and film and is considered
