And I’m very tolerant, very understanding. But I can only take so much.” David Leavitt’s “Territory” emphasizes a mother-son relationship and focuses on the effect of family boundaries. This quotation causes the main character, Neil, and the reader, to experience revelations that define the plot. At this point in the story, Neil is finally unveiled to the fact that his mother disagrees with his “territory”. The reader, on the other hand, can now understand how heavily family boundaries can impact the actions of a son.

Rhetorical Situations Defined To understand the concept of rhetorical situation there are a few definitions that we should discuss first.

Rhetoric is using language effectively to persuade, inform, educate, or entertain. The language or communication that denotes a rhetorical situation is called discourse.
I like the comedy, love story with a dramatic twist and I was able to have both of these in these stories. These stories although being short seemed to send a message about marriage and how at times it can be tough and it takes work, in the The Story of an Hour you understand this story was from a very long time ago and the man doesn’t always dominate in the same manner this story implies in this day and age. In the The Secret Life of Walter Mitty you see that he loves his wife and she seems to be the dominate character and so when he is left on his own he dreams of being someone of importance and you can understand that in his marriage he doesn’t feel he is that important so he dreams these silly dreams where he is somebody to look up
Stories and poems are created from the authors’ imagination which enables us to use our own imagination and fall into the storyline as we read it, connecting with the literature. Being able to visualize what the author is revealing in their writings, gives a deeper look into the symbolization and language allowing us to further relate to the story or poem. In both Eudora Welty’s “A Worn Path” and Jean Rhys’ “I Use to Live Here Once”, the use of several forms of symbolism are evident, but I believe Welty’s creative writing includes a lot more symbolism and more descriptive details of her journey. In Welty’s “A Worn Path” the short story centers on the descriptive setting and the strong main character (Phoenix) on her journey through very rough territory to collect her sick grandson’s medicine. “She was very old and small and she walked slowly in the dark pine shadows on that early December chilly morning.

Figuring out the writer’s tone can help you decide what his or her purpose might be. As you read Saki’s famous short story “The Open Window,” ask yourself • Does the narrator’s description of other characters reveal whether Saki is portraying them in a favorable or an unfavorable light? • Does Saki use formal
When the author, F. Scott Fitzgerald writes about the bond between Daisy and Jay you feel as though you are apart of the couple feeling the emotions they are. He does this by including figurative language and imagery. It is important for the author to create a scenario when Gatsby is I love with someone so that his character can relate to the other characters. In example, if there was no love between Daisy and Jay, then Nick would not have to rekindle the love, thus throwing off the whole series of events for the book.
