From the start of the essay, we could already slightly imagine that this doesn’t really looks like an essay instead it looks more like a poem. From the first sentence onwards, “ Consider the hummingbird for a long moment”. With all my experience with essays, I have barely come across such a start like this so this was a new different start for me. We could already assume from the first start that the writer wants us to read the essay slowly word by word to really capture what’s going on throughout the piece of writing. Going back to the title, Joyas Voladoras could be identified as the name given to the humming bird by the first explorers in America.

Like her fiction, though, it is also about the issues that confront all immigrants in America. i i I This is a tale of two sisters from Calcutta, Mira and Bharati, who have lived in the United States for some 35 years, but who find themselves on different sides in the current debate over the status of immigrants.

Before this class had began, I was accustomed to writing essays with narrow ideas. Whenever I would write, I would discuss the topic briefly and move on to the next topic. In English 1301, that all changed. I was no longer "telling" the reader events that were occurring. Instead, I was able to describe in detail the actual events that occurred in my life.
Accessorizing Clarissa: How Virginia Woolf changes the clothes and the character of her lady of fashion Mark Gaipa When we peer into the origins of Mrs. Dalloway and reflect upon the first words Virginia Woolf wrote about Clarissa Dalloway’s day, we encounter a small but vexing problem that has the potential to alter how we think about the published novel. The problem concerns a specific word Woolf uses in the opening line of her short story “Mrs. Dalloway in Bond Street,” which she wrote in the summer of 1922 before she realized Clarissa’s story would become a book.1 As readers of Woolf know quite well, that first sentence, “Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the gloves herself,” provides the very line Woolf would use to start the novel – with the exception of the word “gloves,” which Woolf would replace with “flowers.” And anyone who has read these two texts side by side has undoubtedly felt how consequential this substitution is: as we move from story to novel, the new purpose for Mrs. Dalloway’s trip to Bond Street seems part of a broader change that Clarissa’s character has also undergone, from snobbery to sympathy. I will have much to say in this essay about Woolf’s removing Clarissa’s gloves in her novel, but the word in the story’s first line that troubles me is not “gloves” so much as the one that follows it – “herself.” Quite simply, what meaning can this word have – along with the sentence in which it appears, “Mrs.
Terrance Hewitt Poetry Explanation Morehouse College English 103 11:00 am Friday November 16, 2012 In the book of poems, Life On Mars, Tracy K. Smith uses many different literary elements in each stanza of her poems to keep the reader inquiring. Using them causes the reader to stay engaged throughout the entire book and wonder how each poem is related to one another. My favorite poem in this book is “Solstice”. In this poem, Smith uses symbolism as well as makes several allusion which give the poem a much deeper meaning. “They’re gassing geese outside of JFK.” This is the first line of the poem.
The poems in this section have to do with “Ars Poetica.” This means The Art of Poetry in Latin. The poets of this collection of poems are actually using poetry to answer the questions of what poetry is, how it should be written, and how it should be read. There is one poem specifically that I felt agreed with my views of poetry and that is Billy Collins’ “Introduction of Poetry.” In this poem, I feel like he is trying to say that people try too hard and over-analyze poems. They sometimes try to force a meaning into a poem because they think that there has to be a reason that poem was written and it has to have some kind of deeper meaning of an issue going on in the world. I think that the end of the poem really points this out with the words “torture of confession out of it” and “they begin beating it with a hose to find out what it really means.” I think that Collins is trying to tell people that they should just read poetry and enjoy it.
Their tagline “Love is complicated. Match.com is simple.” didn’t communicate their intent to customers from Portugal to Peru until they instructed their copywriters to look for the meaning behind the words. Their intent, they discovered, was that Match.com opens a door to a myriad of possibilities. Therefore, they changed their international tagline to “Millions of possibilities. Match.com” on many of their global sites.
