This sense of control is only further strengthened by another technique used by both poets, the regular inclusion of caesuras. Molloy and Browning deploy caesuras to create a blunt and snappy tone to their controlling characters narrative. This bluntness illustrates the characters expectance of respect they will get from the reader, just like the respect gained from their respective loved ones due to their dominant and powering demeanour. However, there are also some stark differences in between the two texts as well, with Les Grands Seigneurs being written in four stanzas compared to only the one stanza being used to narrate the entirety of My Last Duchess. This difference in structure deployed by the authors could represent the different manners in which opposite genders will refer to love in, with the female character in Les Grands Seigneurs being composed and polite in her acknowledgement of the importance of males in her life.
While having a very effective sentence structure and word choice as the basis of her argument, she also used English and Spanish to build up her ethos, as an example “When Flavio accidentally hammered his thumb, he never yelled “Ouch!” he said “Ay!” (Cisneros 596), and then she trying to use the audience’s weakness for love stories to persuade her opinion upon them. In this story the author really wants to convey how great is the Spanish Language in comparison to English. In her writing, She uses a bunch of really nice long descriptions appealing to the reader’s sense of pathos side to get them to really feel good about the language of Spanish. For example, “…those words smelled like your house, like flour tortillas, and the inside of your daddy’s hat…” (Cisneros 596). At the same time she then uses pathos in the other way and gives no such description about English instead makes it sound dark and unappealing.
Andrew Marvell’s “To his Coy Mistress” and Robert Herrick’s “Corinna’s going a Maying” are both carpe diem poems, and as such, they are bound to have a few things in common. However, Herrick’s poem, while commonly portrayed as more religiously influenced, proves to be more alike to “To his Coy Mistress” than just the carpe diem theme denotes. Despite the air of worship associated with “Corinna’s going a Maying,” the speaker in the poem expresses beliefs and images that are so similar to the values of the speaker of “To his Coy Mistress” that it is evident that “Corinna’s going a Maying” is not as religiously concerned as many would like to believe. A.B. Chambers, a professor at the University of Wisconsin, argues that “Corinna’s going a Maying” is unique because it celebrates both pagan and Christian rites, and that neither rite takes precedence over the other (216).

How does the writer tell the story in ‘Enduring Love’? Ian McEwan uses aspects of narrative to tell the story of Enduring Love. In just the first few paragraphs McEwan uses setting, characterisation and perspective to introduce the storyline and set the main themes. McEwan uses characterisation through the main voice of the book, Joe, to tell the story in Enduring Love.

The narrator, Ruri, is frightened throughout the story and it shows that through the tone of the story.

The History Teacher is written with an unmetered rhyme scheme, which maintains a poetic flow while allowing Collins more freedom to describe his story. He gives an anecdote of a teacher devoted to protecting his students from the unsympathetic and insensitive world he finds himself in. Adjusting history so as to convince his students that humanity is inherently good, he insists on eradicating all negativity from his lessons. Collins poem is more humorous and holds an ironic connotation, while Wilbur’s poem demonstrates a conventional story with an insightful and endearing tone. While both poems do have similar beginnings and
After presenting this idea, Updike quality of writing changes plus his use of diction and starts writing with intelligence and a reason. “A way to thwart Progress, usually so unthwartable …an unsettling jolt… slight of a consistently inverted beer can might make people edgy, not to say queasy.” Updike tone is taking over and makes his speech sound motivational. He even makes up his own word “unthwartable” showing how he does not care how ridiculous he sounds. Updike is overcome with this approach of settling. “What we need is progress with an escape hatch” Change cannot just happen so sudden.
