Book Critique In my critique of Stephen V. Ash's A Year in the South: 1865 I will discuss his theme and his use of evidence to support his thesis. I will also identify Ash's purpose in writing this book. Additionally I will discuss his writing style. Ash's ultimate goal in writing this book is to educate the reader on the rapid and drastic changes to living in America immediately after the Civil War, specifically in the Confederate South. He does this by providing the stories of four individuals who lived in different places in the South under very different circumstances the year the Civil War ended.
Emerson actually wrote Concord Hymn as a leaflet on the occasion of the dedication of the Obelisk, a battle monument in Concord, Massachusetts. The monument commemorates the men who gave their lives at the Battle of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, the first battle of the American Revolution. Emerson’s grandfather was a man who personally fought in this battle. Their house was called The Old Manse, which is next to the bridge where Emerson’s father fought. Emerson is known to have written the hymn while he was living there.

Brandon Klinetobe Donna Robertson English 101 16 October 2011 Speechwriters throughout history have considered their word choice, imagery and what others have said before them when creating their own speeches.

“The Rattler” “The Rattler” is a seemingly honest passage. It details the relationship between man and nature. The author applied excellent detail, diction, point of view, and syntax to articulate emotions of hostility between the two individuals. “The Rattler” depicts man torn for his respect of the rattlesnake and the love and fear that he has for his fellow people who were unaware of the potentially harmful visitor. The tones of this piece reflect the man’s remorseful and protective qualities of fulfilling his duties.

Andy speaks out every prisoner’s deepest thought in this quote. The low angles and dark lightning that are used to film the grey and gloomy prison scenes, thereby giving them a foreboding air of despair, make the audience realize the inmates’ desperate need of hope. Thus, the sudden sunlight surrounding the prisoners in the rooftop scene appeals to intrinsic human empathy and causes the audience to share the joy and relief felt by these metaphorical “free men”, as they grab onto this hint of normalcy, the struggle to regain which is epitomized by Andy. His persistence in writing letters to refurbish the library and the close-up on his face when he finally receives a response makes the viewers realize that he is determined not to give up ‘sweating his brow’. This perseverance is further expanded upon with the use of symbolical musical elements.
