This gives a jarring effect, causing the words to stand out to the reader. In comparison, Quickdraw has no obvious rhyme scheme. It does however contain lots of punctuation, unlike ‘Sonnet 116’ which draws attention to key words. Enjambment is common to both poems however is used in different ways. In Sonnet 116, each quatrain is an idea, contained in a single sentence.
Unlike Heaney’s translation, Raffel’s translation uses a capital letter at the beginning of every line. His use of these capital letters can be assumed to be for his unique style; however, only more confusion is created. On top of capital usage for sentence beginnings and proper nouns, his overuse of capital letters can be sometimes frustrating for the reader because it makes the last line seem as it is a complete thought, when grammatically it is not. In the end, his usage of capital letters does not pose a significant problem, but only a slight impediment. The most obvious difference between the two translations of Beowulf as the story continues is the length.
However, what may have been considered “real” in the Elizabethan period, and what is considered “real” now has very much changed, so theatre has been forced to change with the times and adapt their representation of human nature to suit the audience of the present. There were also plays that interpreted events in history, which were called historical plays, such as King Richard III. This is continued on today with events that have occurred in the past, including those which have taken place during and after the Elizabethan period. Another unique feature of this period of theatre was that unlike any previous period, plays were performed daily, not merely once a week. This attribute of the time has persevered to modern
I am not entirely sure that I accomplished it correctly but attempted to. My understanding of the work changed as I started to think critically about what the story meant. There were many underling or hidden meanings within that one could consider. Thinking critically about something that does not interest, such as poems, seems to be the biggest challenge about the writing process for me. In my opinion, the strength of the essay is within the introduction and conclusion.

Some may say that the written word is solely influenced by the spoken; that one’s written thoughts are a direct result of something one has personally said, heard, or interpreted. Others will argue that a story told through continuous verbal translation can only lead to a less significant conclusion than that which was originally intended. Regardless, establishing a definition for the relationship between the custom of oral tradition and the short story as a literary genre proves to be a complex argument. Oral tradition is thought to have allowed the short story genre to emerge as a tool of knowledge – to create new ideas in a permanent text rather than preserving those of oral cultures. Debates and opinions aside, the real question lies not
C- (2-3): These essays address the main ideas involved in the question/topic, but they do so inaccurately or without the support of APPROPRIATE TEXTUAL EVIDENCE. The discussion may be insufficiently developed or may concentrate on only one point or idea. Some may contain a significant misunderstanding of the question/topic or the literary work(s).

These essays may have some serious errors of grammar and/or other mechanics
I believe my experience as Liberal Arts major at Ashford has given me a deeper view of what education truly is and has changed my perception of education. Before entering this institution, I believed education was the only key to finding job opportunities and with the knowledge I have acquired, my views have changed on this factor. I have learned the value of putting a thought in everything I believe and as Wallace alludes, though is not all about capacity but the critical choice of what to actually think. In a nutshell, Wallace sheds of the fallacies and ideologies that different cultures and belief systems allude to on the matter of liberal arts education (Gregg Ten Elshof, 2009). This is a clear indication of the need to change perception and to apply education in every aspect of our lives.
