I like how the author set the scene in the first paragraph but then skipped backward to tell you how he got to where he was, with pig lips sitting in front of him. Some of the things that Edge described made me sick to my stomach when he said, "The pig feet floating in a murky jar by the cash register, their blunt tips bobbing up through a pasty white film (97)." When Edge was describing the pig's lips as he ate them, I could almost taste them in my mouth. John T. Edge did a good job with hooking the reader and making them taste, smell,
Body paragraphs lack development and internal coherence and may only be loosely related to each other. | Argument’s path of development is mostly clear but might be more carefully planned. Transitions may be absent or clumsy. Introductory and concluding paragraphs may lack focus or not do enough to frame the discussion. Body paragraphs may lack development or internal coherence.
However this was not enough to stop his greed from overwhelming him. In the beginning, he sets the setting of the story through his descriptive diction, he is in a store standing in front of a pie rack deciding on which flavor of pie to steal. He sarcastically states, “I nearly wept trying to decide.” He tries to forget the religious aspect, trying to block out any sense of good or anything that would make him have second thoughts before doing this. Soto tries to “[forget] the shadows of angels”. The pace before he steals the pie is very fast, making the reader wonder if Soto was caught or not.
His diction is picturesque. He “[gazes] at the nine kinds of pie.” Soto uses the word gazes to elaborate his want and need of the pie. The pie is “like a discus in [his] hand.” The pie is heavy like a discus. The guilt of stealing slowly starts to sink into his conscious and weigh him down. He “[races] on skinny legs” back home.
ALLUSIONS IN FAHRENHEIT 451 Literary allusions often are used to relate a novel to various other pieces of literary work. Ray Bradbury used a multitude of literary allusions to enrich the plotline of Fahrenheit 451. These references provided subtle hints of depth in the novel to the reader. Some allusions helped the novel by adding to the plot, providing a relatable experience to the reader, referencing familiar stories and fables, and giving characters and settings that special something called an “it factor” that the reader could find special. Some allusions, however, were harmful to the plot or to the reader, most often by confusing the reader if they did not know the context of the original quotation.
On Gut In the poem “On Gut” by Ben Johnson there are many different perspectives that one may have about the poem. In the first two lines of the poem which reads Guts eat all day, and lechers all the night, So all his meat he tasteth over twice; (1-2) in my opinion means that the speaker explains the comparison how the gut which is in the stomach and eats a lot, and lechers which feeds off of other things to survive. The both have common features so the author uses literary device metaphor to compare the two. The author can mean that the speaker is a greedy person and is feeding off of someone else. In line two, the perception that I made was since the speaker to me likes to feed off of others he is saying that it is like they have eaten twice because they have had pinched off of everyone else.
A better life is always one credit card transaction away with or without the the means to cover it. We may be too engrossed in over-consumption to ever be purely happy. Children are being fed from the spoon of materialism. The state of consuming is quoted as an out of body experience in “The Grill-Buying Guy” with an example, “The man approaches the barbecue grills with a trancelike expression
The essay is more summary than analysis. The writer's appreciation of literature and understanding of the theme of the poem is not always clear. The purpose of the literary essay about theme is not entirely clear. It provides some analysis of the theme of the poem, but there are significant gaps that leave the reader questioning. The essay contains irrelevant information, which makes the reader question what the main purpose of the paper is.
I had a sense of mirth as I was reading this essay; I even chuckled a few times to myself such as when Baker integrated a humorous part into the essay by stating, “The idea of prim Mr. Fleagle plucking his nipple from boneless gums was too much for the class”. (Baker, 1982) Another lesson Baker gives us in this essay would have to be, don’t be afraid and just to do it. When he had finally chosen to use the topic “The Art of Eating Spaghetti” (Baker, 1982), he had wanted to write it his own way and not by following the rules that
“The Awakening” By Kate Chopin Kate Chopin uses many different situations and different settings in the novel “The Awakening” to get her points and aspects of the story across to the readers. Throughout the story Chopin also uses many different literary techniques and situations to explain the characters and their place within the story. Chopin seems to be very specific at points, but also very vague when brining new characters into the story and the meaning behind such characters. From the many different aspects of the story the significance of the ending of the novel seems to be the most important and most interesting within the works writing. Chopin seems to use many different themes and symbols throughout the story to portray Edna’s character and way of life that causes the many problems and difficulties for her.
