I chose to write Snow Falling on Cedars from a historical perspective to shape the emotional, psychological and philosophical aspects of the plot. The setting in which a story takes place is significant as it allows the reader to better understand the context of the events and themes. This book integrates memories of WWII through flashbacks from the view of different characters. To further the theme of the theme ‘truth and justice’, I created the setting of Manzanar Internment Camp, where innocent Japanese-Americans are sent during the war. When placed in difficult situations, the attitudes of the characters evolve to overcome these certain obstacles.
Mike Carlos Literary devices have a large impact on Beowulf because of the oral tradition. These literary devices create thoughts and help people have more of a thought out idea of what is going on in the poem. The reader’s vision of the story is reflected on how it is said and described Kennings were often used throughout the poem to keep on the old English oral traditions. These kennings helped because the story had to be memorized and told over and over again and it made it easier to remember and to say. Due to the fact that the language of the Angelo-Saxons did not have rhymes, it made it harder to memorize, but these phrases helped people make it easier.
Reputation and expertise demonstrate what one knows about the topic, they are assisted by recognition. Emerson throughout the essay portrays humans as a part of nature, “The greatest delight which the fields and woods minister, is the suggestion of an occult relation between man and vegetable. [He is] not alone and unacknowledged. They nod to [him] and [he] to them.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson, pg 2, Line 22) As Emerson reminisces about his experience in the forest and what he faced in the in the forest, a vibe is sent to the audience causing them to believe that he is an expert on what he’s talking about because. Emerson states that “[He has] enjoyed a perfect exhilaration in nature” (Ralph Waldo Emerson, Pg 2, Line 5).
By using different literary methods authors are able to give their readers a better understanding of the message behind the piece of work. Using methods such as themes and symbolism allows readers to find the underlying meaning of the story rather than just simply reading something with no meaning or emotion behind it. While reading Robert Frost’s Poem The Road Not Taken and Eudora Welty’s short story A Worn Path, people get a sense that life is a lonely place full of sacrifice at times. Although these two pieces are different, their use of symbolism gives readers a better understanding of the characters in each work and figure out their real struggles with the choices they make. Literature is meant to take its readers to another place and allow them to become part of it, whether it be a story or a poem or play.

Explain the use of poetry in reaching out to an audience. What makes poetry work better than a short story in “illustrating” the poet’s thoughts?. Poetry is because of its length just a few verses can captivate the human mind with the thoughts, feeling and emotions that a poet can create for an audience. We feel things, see things more effectively in this style of writing as the poet makes us imaging living every single sentence in our own minds. Poems can make you laugh, cry, think or be silent as we ponder the words that are written.
The importance of discovery is measure by the impact it has on people. To seek knowledge and enlightenment is a central part of human nature. The importance of discovery is usually determined by the amount of impact it has on us as the unimportant discoveries are usually realised and forgotten. “Small Mercies” and “Big World” are short stories from the anthology The Turning by Tim Winton which assesses the impact discoveries have on each character. The song “don’t want you back” by Backstreet Boys and the poem “a snowflake falls” by Ruth Adams are powerful examples of the amount of impact discoveries have on the characters .
I feel like this poem should be read behind a podium by the person who wrote it. I would also consider this poem a visual poem because I get certain flashes of the topics and people talked about in it from time to time. This is very deep poem if you have knowledge of the different subjects being asked about. I WILL NOT "APOLOGIZE", I WILL NOT "RESIGN!" The essay talks about the effect the poem had on certain people and
I can easily understand why the short story made such an impact in the literary and medical worlds. However, I have a hard time understanding how the story is enjoyable to read. Personally, I could not sit through the story and finish it in one sitting. The repetitive language and obsessive nature of the narrator gets extremely irritating. While other gothic tale’s we’ve read in class have been spooky, ironic, or at least entertaining, I feel that this story is literally sickeningly long.
I personally think the reason I have come to not like poetry is because in class we pick apart everything the poem brings to the table, and might even take it too far. I used to just like reading poems and maybe think about how it made me feel or some of the words it uses. However, now I just feel like we spend too much time looking at every possible meaning. I feel like it’s more of an opinion on what a poem means and it’s personal for everyone. A poem might mean one thing to one person, but something entirely different to another person.
