At this point Winton is encouraging the reader to look deeper into the story and get a feel for the characters surroundings. It then becomes easy for the reader to understand why the unnamed man chooses to read in the store, because despite all Fat Maz's soul searching and her father's bad temper, the newsagency is actually a very place with a homey feel.

“Writing well means engaging the voices of others and letting them in turn engage us.” (TS/IS 111)They are asked to enter into a conversation with others.

They explain how supporting your ideas by using someone else’s work make it stronger and give a stronger amount of credibility to your writing; it is evidence that your work is accurate and fair. To develop this subject; I am using Alice walker’s essay, “In Search of Our Mothers’ Garden”.

Hannah claimed she was shocked to find out that kids approached an injured bird and picked it up because she would have gone for help first. Also, that she would want to know if the bird lives in the end. Hannah demonstrated an understanding of the story responding to questions after reading the text, as she was able to figure out the author’s purpose in writing this story which she stated was to show how caring people can help injured animals.

Since the dawn of civilization, storytellers have crafted tales to entertain and enthrall audiences, sharing lessons about life and offering glimpses into their cultural heritage along the way. From time immemorial, two of the most popular forms of storytelling to have evolved include those of the myth and the legend. Typically, a legend is comprised of a semi-true story, one which has been passed on from person-to-person and embodies a deeper meaning or symbolism related to the culture from which it originated. Legends have an element of truth to them or are otherwise based on historic facts melded with mythical qualities. They customarily involve heroic characters or fantastic places and often encompass the spiritual beliefs indigenous to their culture.
Elizabeth Jean Ms. Duffner AP Literature 20 December 2011 Poetry Timed Writing "A Barred Owl," by Richard Wilbur and "The History Teacher," by Billy Collins, highlighted the methods in which adults choose to soothe the natural curiosity and fears of children. Each poem, however, showed through various literary devices how the different ways that adults can decide to provide explanations for children. Wilber utilizes rhyme scheme and meter as well as repetition and informal diction in order to convey his more light hearted way of controlling a child's fear while Collins employs satire, humorous diction as well as historical allusion to explain the ironic method of soothing a child's wild imagination. Richard Wilbur demonstrates the soothing qualities of a parent through his use of iambic pentameter and rhyming couplets. The rhyme scheme creates a song like, folktale effect that appeals to an audience of children.
