- The introduction of the essay seems too rhetorical to be interesting. It is also too wordy at the expense of clarity. The author should consider using simpler language that readers will be able to relate to. - The thesis statement is quite clear – the youngest child is ‘luckier’ than the oldest in a family’. The author has repeated it twice within the paragraph. However, the introduction does not include a summary of supporting facts, other than the author’s personal experience, to back the thesis. - Although the author does not explicitly state the purpose of the essay, ...

The process of revising my essay was quite challenging but at the same time satisfying as I had the opportunity to extend myself as a good writer. The essay I chose to revise was titled “The Future for Women Driving in Saudi Arabia.” As William Zinsser quoted, “Rewriting is the essence of writing well”(Zinsser, 12) it was therefore my responsibility to go through the essay at least three times so as to correct all the grammar mistakes (proof read), restructure sentences (edit) and reorganize ideas to enable the paper have a fluid flow. Revising the essay implies re-reading ...

Unlike many of his contemporaries in the realm of science fiction writing, H.G. Wells understood how to tell a story to an audience. Whereas many of the other writers of the era were fascinated by the many technological advances available to them and the implications of these advances, Wells used those advances to set up a story that would come to resonate in American culture for years to come.

Indeed, to this day, the trope of an “alien” is consistent with Wells’ original description of the Martians, which ...

Epistolary form is an primeval type of novel writing style and this genre was mainly popular during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It basically involves letters and journal entries by numerous characters that are part of the novel and according to that it depicts the story-line of the novel. In my opinion, it successfully adds realism to the story-line and reflects the character traits in a much more realistic way instead of the other writing styles in use by modern authors nowadays. This style of writing also helps in the better understanding of the characters and presents a closer ...

Uri Margolin’s assertion that “an individual's appearance, gestures, mannerism, dress, and natural and human-made environment are indicators for inferences about his or her mental and moral features” essentially claims that readers pick up on who a character is through their outside features as described in the prose (2012, p. 77). However, this assertion ignores the possibility of contrasts, societal pressures, and other factors that can provide needed context for further understanding of their true character. Tess in Tess of the d’Urburvilles, for instance, is a quintessential contradiction – somewhere between rich and poor, sophisticated and simple, strong and ...

In The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemmingway adopts the use of simple language to explore the ravages of World War I through his main character Jake. Interestingly, Hemmingway does not succumb to the temptation of using colorful adjectives to describe his characters and the events narrated in the novel. Instead, Hemmingway uses short and direct phrases that leave the reader in suspense. In addition, the style makes the writer omit many details that would have otherwise been useful in dissecting his characters as well as the themes and motifs discussed in the novel. Nonetheless, the style is likeable for ...

Poetry and song share common themes or ideas. Each idea is carefully crafted to create a mood or tone, to tell a story, or simply to entertain an audience. Either way the reader or listener is left with different feelings and emotions. The writers make use of figurative devices, rhymes, rhythm and imagery to create the overall mood and atmosphere. In the poem “Because I could not stop for Death” by Emily Dickenson and the song “Flirted With You All My Life” by Vic Chesnutt, both writers view the inevitable nature of death and the impact death has on ...

In life, we have to pass through challenges and obstacles that lead us to our destiny.

In the case of Gulliver, he tries to chase his destiny when he quits his job, and sets a journey to the sea. He comes with many experiences that change his life and also, in the end ...

The poem “The Martyr” by Herman Melville has left a deep impression on me. It influences the reader from the very first line creating the morose setting and gloomy atmosphere.

From the very first look in is clear, that the martyr is a simple embodiment of the God’s son because the action of the poem takes place on the Good Friday, the most horrible day in the Bible.

The aim of this paper is to dissect Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” and view it under the ...

Exploring Boundaries: Fashion, Adornment and the Body

Introduction For many centuries, humans have communicated to each other in the language of dress.

Individuals may lack the ability to express what they have observed into words, but they have registered information unconsciously about each other.

In Bohn’s article, the author discusses Dryden’s critical essays, particularly in terms of his use of satire. Here, Bohn notes the way in which Dryden used a satire as its own form of criticism; “satire is itself but a sort of criticism; it has always been the form assumed by the highly trained, versifying prose-understanding” (118). Dryden was never one to give literary judgments one at a time, but rather to convey his ideas in a more abstract way, which is ...

Typically when we think of comics we think of children. Their excitement mounts as superheroes defeat villains or save damsels in distress. Comic books are one dimensional and transparent with little to offer the adult world other than nostalgia. Or is there something more to them?

Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales” is a selection of stories that pilgrims use to tell stories that occurred as they traveled to a holy shrine in Canterbury.
