    Yellow Wallpaper Response

    When an author is writing a story, they have many critical decisions to make. One of the first important choices and questions they have to ask themselves are “Which point of view will the story take place? Who is the speaker of the story?” Point of view can basically be described as who is telling the story. It is broken down into three view points, 1st person, 2nd person, and 3rd person. 1st person point of view uses “I”, which means that the story is being told through the character. This can cause a sense of sympathy, and a connection with the character because the reader is listening to the character’s voice and how they are telling the story. Although rarely used, 2nd person point of view uses “you”, as if the writer…

    "The World Is Blue" Reflection Essay

    Earle utilizes her chapter on fish to call the world out on the elephant in the room-overfishing. Earle discusses how at one time in history, people believed that there was an infinite amount of fish to be caught, that there would never be a day when we would see something as popular as tuna, go extinct. We are sitting on the eve of “that day.” Earle really brings out the reality of overfishing, almost mocking our early ideas of sustainable yield. “..but those pesky animals didn’t obey the rules.. So what’s wrong with the concept of sustainable yield?” (Earle) Earle makes keen note that you cannot possibly create a concept of sustainability, when you know next to nothing about the species you are supposedly “yielding”. Earle debunks the idea of a surplus in the ocean of a healthy ecosystem, stating “What APPEARS to be an overabundance to human observers is a natural insurance policy...” (Earle) Earle applies the same idea of questionable yield to marine mammals. She spends a fair amount of this chapter on the touchy subject that is almost always controversial-whaling. She lends a nod…

    Point of View in "Everything that Rises Must Converge"

    The central idea communicated by point of view in this story is that if one is resistant to adapting to the changing times then they’ll become ignorant. The point of view O’Connor uses to convey this central idea is the third person limited point of view. Within this point of view, there are two aspects that help contribute to the depth of the story: the third person aspect and the limited omniscient aspect. The third person aspect allows readers to hear the story from a narrator who 's uninvolved in the story. The limited aspect allows readers to hear all thoughts and feelings of one or two characters. The overall reason O’Connor chose the third person limited point of view was to communicate clearly Julian’s thoughts and feelings in contrast to his mother.…
