For my narrative reflection and journey into a visual experience I chose to visit the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. It exhibited many pieces I was able to connect to McCloud’s theories about closure and visual literacy (6). Certain pieces stood out more than others, inanimately, but somehow speaking to me. Collections spoke, punctuated, and ended themselves as comics do with direction, icons, and framework. McCloud’s philosophy on our sense of self in relation to what we see around us was also very present during my excursion (10). I saw myself differently depending on what exhibit

I firmly believe that a saying, “out of sight, out of mind’ does not work with loyal friends, since a true friendship is never affected by time or distance. People can talk to each other only once in a while, be apart for years, but still remain very close friends. Such constancy in relationships is a distinctive feature of friendship. However, a true friend is a rare phenomenon these days. This can only be the person, who knows everything about you, but who will never betray you, or use his knowledge and power against you. When you find yourself

In my reading of Niedecker’s Poems, her use of sounds manifests largely in almost all parts of her literary work. In this regard, she makes of use of sound devices such as repetition, assonance, alliteration, consonance, rhyme, Onomatopoeia and Idiophones. It is significant to note that, it is due to the effect of these devices that my reading is enhanced as follows;
Niedecker’s poems are rich in repetition. More than often, I find that she constantly repeats some statements or special words. In essence, the repetition gives the text a lyrical lilt. As a result, I find

- In Chapter 6, when Lenina asks what time is for, she thinks it is for wasting. This is relatively speaking. She offers that she and Bernard should participate in several different activities such as Electromagnetic Golf or swimming, but Bernard deems them all a waste of time, which is when Lenina asks, exasperatedly, what time is supposed to be used for. This is as if to say, if you are not wasting it, why are you using it at all? In my opinion, time is, technically speaking, for wasting. We will all die one day. Though some of

For Practice

The passage contains both mechanical and grammatical errors. The first sentence should be fragmented to two sentences that read like this: “There are two arguments I am introducing. The first one is that more classes at CSU should be offered online.” The passage also lacks a comma in the last sentence.
