Essays on The Reader

“Trifles” is a play written by Susan Glaspell who was inspired by a murder she had reported for a newspaper. This one-act work depicts two farmwives who hide evidence that could convict another woman abused by her husband, John Wright. The play was performed in 1916, and cause resonance by its unusual plot and daring female characters. In general, it is a detective drama with some unexpected twists that captivate the reader and creates tension. However, there are no policemen, ghosts or mystery; it is a narration about how two housewives challenge the male domination without rights to do ...

Introduction

Two University of Rochester professors collaborated on a paper called “Self Determination Theory and the facilitation of intrinsic motivation, social development and wellbeing” that was published in the Journal of American Psychologist . This article focuses our thoughts on the wellbeing as contingent upon the successful proportion of three ingredients: Autonomy, Competence, and Relatedness. These three nutrients feed and develop our sense of self. The more accomplished individuals are increasing the ingredients that cause their lives to be successful in the eyes of others that are not as accomplished. Contrast these two writers to David McClellan in 1961 who wrote ...

The Caldecott Medal is awarded annually to be given to an artist “who created the most distinguished picture book of the year.” (www.ala.org) In 1992, the winner of that prestigious award was David Wiesner, the children’s author and illustrator of the book Tuesday. Known for books with little or few words, Tuesday stays true to this artist’s format. The book opens with the words, “TUESDAY EVENING, AROUND EIGHT”. It is easy to see why it became such a favorite. Simply it is the story of frogs unexpectedly taking flight from their pond, on lily pads. Through pictures ...

The point of view is a perspective from which the author chooses a narrator to tell a story. The third-person narrators are usually observers but not characters in the story. Kate Chopin in “The Story of an Hour” uses the third-person omniscient narrative, which captures the reader and makes him sympathetic to Louise Mallard. The reader has a possibility to see how the woman interacts with other characters, her thoughts, and feelings. Indeed, the omniscient narrator is able to tell the story of Louise’s hour of evolution and freedom but the happiness lasted only for an hour before ...

“Desperate Passage” is an exciting yet at the same time disheartening book written by the acclaimed author Ethan Rarick. The author has a vast wealth of experience in writing, having authored books and articles on politics, crime, business and other spheres of life. The book was originally published in 2008 by the Oxford University Press. With three hundred and four pages, it is a fast-paced historical, non-fiction that retells a story of the donners, reeds and other parties in their torturous journey to the west. The book is a fascinating read that explores the themes of survival and endurance ...

Introduction

In the book, “The Behavior of Law” Donald Black tries to explain how the conduct of law is a social phenomenon. Black describes a general, quantitative and predictive theory that describes the various conditions within which law is applied or can be applied. Black argues that since law is a social phenomenon, it does not take into account the human nature concept. As such, law can be explained without incorporating a person’s motivations or any other psychological motivations. This means that the theory does not take into account the rationality of human beings and also the goals and ...

Introduction

The book “Country of My Skull” has been written by Antjie Krog, who strives to include her own as well as other individuals’ stories about the creation, development, and conclusion of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). The truth and reconciliation commission was in charge of uncovering past wrongdoings in Africa and was established to bring the perpetrators and criminals to justice. The books have been the center of much debate as the author has not followed any clearly defined chronological order but rather, the fragments of the testimonies of survivors, victims, and criminals have been included. History, personal ...

The relationship between what we eat and our health is as intimate a relationship as any we ever form in our lives. Food is primary to the survival of human beings, and many factors have interacted over the course of centuries, to determine how we consume our food. David H. Freeman addresses this complex relationship in his article, ‘How junk food can end obesity’. The author adds to the discussion on healthy eating by exploring means that fast foods, and processed foods can be used in the fight against overweight and obesity issues in the American population. The title ...

Some of the characters named in this passage include Lord Henry and Basil

Hallward. They are also some of the main characters in the story. From their names, the reader can tell that Basil is a good person. The name Basil means royal or chivalrous; therefore, the reader can assume that Basil Hallward is a chivalrous person (Wilde, 1993). For example, his disappearance led to public excitement. On the other hand, from the name Lord Henry, one can tell that an individual is a respected person in the society. In the first eight paragraphs, the author reveals minimal details about the characters. Nevertheless, the author notes that at some point, Basil Hallward ...

“The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin

In Kate Chopin’s short story “The Story of an Hour” the author paints a rather effective picture of heartbreak. However, rather than showing the devastation of Louise Mallard’s devastation upon hearing news of her husband’s accidental death in the train wreck, Chopin takes an unexpected turn. As the reader experiences Louise’s shock at the news of her husband’s death one is led to believe that she is overwhelmed with shock and unable to comprehend the tragedy of becoming a widow. Instead, as the final scene in the story unfolds the reader is made aware ...

Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” is an insightful work of art that possesses a great literary significance. The short story depicts one hour from the life of Louise Mallard, but touches upon several serious themes that are still important in modern society. Louise Mallard is a young married woman, who gets informed that her husband has tragically died. In one hour she evolves from the grief and sorrow to realization of her joy of finally becoming free to be in charge of her own life. However, her happiness does not last long, as her husband appears ...

Sherwin Bitsui experimental and daring poem “At Deer Springs” is a fascinating work of lyrical and poetic innovation and dreamlike wordplay:

“Turn signals blink through ice in the skin.Snake dreams uncoil,

burrow into the spine of books.Night spills from cracked eggs.Thin hands vein oars in a canyon bed.We follow deer tracks back to the insertion of her tongue.” The topic with which I choose to examine this poem is the conflict between nature and technology. I understand this topic to include issues as vast as the modern human experience in a globalized world, anxiety at the death of the kind of holistic, natural lifestyle that the Native Americans hold ...

Out of three parts of Dante’s Divine Comedy, the first part – Inferno is by far the most understandable and reasonable. Dante uses Hell to show and educate the readers his vision of morality. As an artistic technique, he depicts his own travel over the depths of Hell. He is led by Vergil, who explains all about those who are in Hell and what happens to them according to their sins. This, indeed, is a very powerful method to deliver the main idea to the reader, especially concerning that most of the readers perceive the poem literally but not ...

Emily Dickinson is an original poet as she used her pen to challenge the existing conventions of poetry. Throughout her poems, Emily clearly experimented with a style of expression that moved away from the traditional styles of poetry and took on a unique style that made her speakers sharp-sighted observers who face the challenges of no escape from their societies. Additionally, Dickenson used her poems as a sword that would serve to liberate the speakers from the inescapable boundaries of the society. Clearly, Dickenson wrote poems that broke away from the traditional rules of poetry which challenged the narrow-minded ...

Critical reading is of paramount importance to any student. I would incorporate "reading again," and "connecting the content to the application" into my reading. These two strategies come with valuable benefits that enhance the comprehension of the material. The first round of reading may not give a clear picture of the entire work. Besides, one may find it difficult to understand portions of the material. It follows that one needs to repeat reading the work to differentiate the components such as the thesis, methods, evidence, previews and counter arguments, among others. Since these parts connect directly with each other ...

The author of the article, Dennis McCafferty, emphasized on the notion that the social media is playing a potentially pivotal role in the modern society and experiencing increasing use as a weapon of choice by creative individuals, as they strived to contribute to the society via their opinions, experiences, news, and ...

Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”, though well-written poetically, does not live up to its name. It is neither a poem about love nor is it a song. The poem simply expresses Prufrock’s indecision about life and women. Interpretation of the entire poem must rely on the epigraph for a complete understanding of Eliot’s intent and theme. The theme of indecision runs consistently through the point of view Eliot chose, as well as through setting, characters, tone and the use of repetition, imagery and metaphors. The poem begins with an epigraph borrowed from Dante’ ...

The short story provides numerous themes through its scripts. There is a theme of loss, disillusion, youth, theme of insecurity, the theme of love, and theme of escape. The story comes from the Nine Stories collection that is subject to narrate basing on the third person. The narrator is unnamed and upon reading the story for the first time, the reader can realize that Salinger may entirely be exploring the theme of escape. The situation of which Eloise is spending most of the time drinking through the entire story while preferring not to avoid dealing with realities of life ...

Summary of the Paper

‘The Evolution of Bank Supervision: Evidence from U.S. States’ by Kris James Mitchener and Matthew Jaremski provides valuable work as far as unveiling the history and reason behind the evolution of bank supervisory institutions in the various states. The paper has not only conducted an assessment on the same subject but also quantitatively and from a long-term approach. The evolution of bank supervision institutions is a social, societal phenomenon whose knowledge is important to a considerable number of members of the society. This creates the paper’s necessity as it would be unfeasible to conduct research on a subject ...

“The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson

“The Lottery” is considered to be the best Jackson`s short story which unites sarcasm, horror, humor and philosophy – all rolled into one. This story was written in June 26, 1948. The author of the story describes the American village of that period of time and the ritual which is observed in almost every city. This ritual is called “The Lottery” and Shirley Jackson makes a reader immersed into details and peculiarities of it. This is a story with an extremely unpredictable ending, which makes the reader somehow confused and shocked. But it is the true reality, which Jackson ...

As of today, the majority of people take their reading abilities for granted and consider reading and reading comprehension abilities as processes “requiring little effort and little planning” (Grabe 4). In actual fact, reading is a very complicated process “of acquiring information from a written or printed text” which can be characterized in terms of two levels of processing: lower-level and higher-level processes (Eskey 5). The processing activity occurring in our heads when we read consists of three fundamental processes, which are “word recognition, syntactic parsing, and meaning encoding” (Grabe 21). In the meantime, our working memory is considered ...

Using consonance, Hayden drives home both the hour and the temperature, noting “the ...

The Mediation Privilege

In this article review, I will summarize the main points of “The Mediation Privilege,” give a key analysis of the author’s main points, and personally apply the article to my own life. In Marcia S. Cohen’s article, “The Mediation Privilege,” Cohen does a fantastic job at providing the reader a firm definition of the concept of the mediation privilege (Cohen, 2013). Specifically, Cohen defines privileged mediation as “the protection from disclosure of confidential communications in mediation (Cohen, 2013).” Cohen describes specific sections of the Uniform Mediation Act, including sections that allow ...

The selected Public Service Announcement (PSA) on blood donation would be applicable under conditions of man-made or natural ‘time-limited’ emergency or disaster, but it’s effectiveness in inciting a positive response would be limited. On one hand, the PSA uses a subtle language that incites the reader to respond positively to the ad. The line, ‘every 2 seconds somewhere in the world there is a need for blood transfusion’ helps the reader to grasp quickly why blood donation is necessary to save human lives. However, the PSA does not stress on the urgency of blood donation in time-limited disasters ...

Social media is, without a doubt, here to stay. But why would anyone be interested in a social media app where your messages disappear forever in 10 seconds. In her December 26, 2015 article for Pocket-lint entitled “What’s the point of Snapchat and how does it work?”, journalist Elyse Betters attempts to answer that question through a review and analysis of the popular “disappearing” photo and video messaging mobile computer application Snapchat. Ultimately, Betters argues that Snapchat interesting because it provides one of the simplest ways for people to tell stories. Betters goes on to try to prove ...

The literature often uses such techniques as allegory and metaphor. Allegory, according to Miriam and Webster dictionary, is “a story in which the characters and events are the symbols that are used to describe the ideas of human life as it is or its individual constituents”. One of the most striking examples of allegory in literature is Plato's work "Allegory of the Cave" in which people are shown to the reader's eyes as chained cave dwellers who are not seeing the daylight and are watching the movement of shadows that are projected on the walls by means of fire. ...

In this essay, I will analyze two articles presenting arguments concerning gun rights. The first article will rely almost exclusively on pathos in order to persuade the intended audience. The other article will rely principally on logic. Both articles present effective arguments, and both articles are well-written. The article that relies are pathos is more persuasive while the article focusing on logos has more credibility. When someone mentions the American Sniper, a picture is brought to memory of a man well-trained in the military with firearms. Likely a thought will also arise concerning his tragic death, which also involved ...

Up from Slavery is an autobiography of Booker T. Washington, which came out by the dawn of the twentieth century. It is different in a way that a Black author has used humor to highlight slavery than use misery and suffering to talk about it. He wants his readers to believe that slavery was as much useful for the black population as it was to white population. Washington adopts a positive approach that involves humor, in discussing the African American struggle. His indifference to racial riots, black killings, and protests make him a ‘destructive’ social activist, whereas, his positive ...

Different works of art reflect various events that occur in real life. Works of literature either explain or provide responses to real life situations with the addition of a fictional twist. Literature works explore different real life themes, which allows readers to identify with the different characters.

The story also explains the circumstances leading to Anders’ death as well as how his life had changed from when he was younger. The short ...

Introduction

When it comes to story-telling, many people emphasize the story part, instead of the telling one. Nevertheless, the manner in which a story is told can be very influential in its reception. In fact, many people would say that the story itself changes depending on the discourse that presents it. This came to the limelight in the end of the nineteenth century with the Modernist current. Authors such as James Joyce and Virginia Woolf deliberately modified the way that stories were told. They utilized many techniques that allowed them greater range of expression, many of which were not even ...

In the recent past, there has been a growing trend whereby college students are seeking protection from words that they do not like in the name of safeguarding their emotional wellbeing. This is a dangerous trend and if left unchecked it may destroy education in America. Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt examine the implications of overprotecting students from unintentional microaggressions in their article: “The Coddling of the American Mind.” Lukianoff and Haidt argue that gagging instructors from using words deemed discriminatory virtually on any basis would prevent critical thinking and set a dangerous precedent for America’s education system ...

In My Last Duchess, a Duke shows his guest the painting of his late wife and gradually reveals how her perceived infidelity enraged him into killing her. Browning narrates the scene through the voice of the duke, allowing understanding to dawn naturally on the reader as though they are hearing the story firsthand.

The four basic principles of design for page layout include the principle of contrast, the principle of repetition, the principle of alignment and the principle of proximity. The principle of contrast implies that the items that are similar to one another should not be placed next to each other. If the items are simply not identical (different font, color, size, thickness, shape, etc.), it is necessary to make them very different (Szaboka.com, 2012). Adding contrast is achieved by choosing the font line thickness, color, shape, size, distribution of free space, and so on. It is not difficult to find ...

Response to readings

The uncanny by Sigmund Freud is an article that tries to bring together two concepts; psychoanalysis and literary criticism. The first idea in the uncanny is the conceptualization of "Uncanny". Freud argues that uncanny as a concept refers to something that appears to be both fearful and frightening. He goes on to plot the development of “Uncanny”, and points out that everything starts out as being familiar and then develops into being uncanny. “That what is ‘uncanny’ is frightening because it is not known and familiar” (Freud 2). This is borrowed from the two German words, Heimlich and unheimlich. ...

Article Review: Natural Resource Economics under the Rule of Hotelling

In 1931, Harold Hotelling published an economic paper titled ‘The economics of exhaustible resources’ in the Journal of Political Economy. This paper would later go on to shape a whole new field of economics, the economics of natural resources (Gaudet, 2007). Though at the time not taken seriously because economists were more concerned with other much pressing economic issues such as the Great Depression, the paper laid both a theoretical and empirical framework for the functioning of natural resource markets and how to solve pertinent issues in this market (Gaudet, 2007). This framework later became the Hotelling rule. Seventy-five ...

The Book of Revelation has yielded different interpretive possibilities for just about as long as there have been theologians around to read and explain it. This is a book that is filled with mysteries, whether it is the identity of the four apocalyptic horsemen who are supposed to usher in the judgment of God, the timing of the rising of people from the dead for that judgment, and whether Jesus Christ returns before the tribulation of the believers or after -- or whether the 1,000-year reign that the book discusses is literal or figurative in nature.

Origins of the First Person Shooter by Alexander R. Galloway highlights the subtle interconnection between the cinematographic technique of the subjective shot and its use in gaming. The author of the article begins with drawing a distinction between the notions of the point of view (POV) and the subjective shot as used in filmmaking. While he deems the first to be more general, aiming at representing the exterior of the character’s standpoint, the latter focuses on “the exact physiological or emotional qualities of what the character would see” (Galloway 41). Illustrating the examples of the subjective shot in ...
