    A literary device used a lot in the story is tone, changing a significant amount of times. There are a few themes in the book, but in my opinion with it majorly being family influences has to do with the different tones. In the book there was a quote that really stood out to me… It stated, “Wes was tired. Tired of being locked up, tired of watching drugs destroy entire families, entire communities, an entire city.” (138).…

    Theory of Writing

    • 1726 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Writing varies from a text message to a novel. Writers often have a difficult task in creating a piece of work that truly identifies the meaning of good writing. Every good writer usually starts with the basics such as genre, audience, rhetorical situation, and reflection of the piece. Throughout this semester, we have gone through all of these key terms in great detail with each new assignment that has come our way. In doing this, not only as students but also as writers, we have come to create our own theory of writing. Every writer has a different theory of writing though most are very similar. Now, at this point in the semester after doing countless journals, in-class exercises, and final assignments, I think I have figured out my own theory of writing.…

    Seuss Analyzed for Political, Social Effects” By Tom Jacobs. Tom goes on to talk about how we all know Seuss for his cartoons and his crazy words there is also something that he writes about and that being social and political ideas that are covered up by his rhyming and his colorful pictures and words. One great example is Seuss’s first children book and to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street where a father tells his son to stop having an imagination and to grow up the father tells his son “Stop telling such outlandish tales. Stop turning minnows into whales.” What the father is telling his son to do is to stop thinking everything is easily changed and to stop having such an imagination. This conflict is an example of social issues at home where a father might tell his son to grow up already and stop acting so young and act older, which can result in a fight in the family between father and son and drive them apart from each other like they are living in two completely different worlds.…

    ¡°The trouble with writing is that despite what many handbooks suggest, there are no hard and fast rules, no magic formulas that make it an easy step-by-step process. You have to reconceive the rules every time you sit down to write because every occasion has its own specific requirements¡± (American Heritage Book). Writing is something that is unique in the way that each person does it differently in their own sort of way, therefore creating their ¡°own style.¡± Wayson Choy has his own style of writing as with Trimble and all the other writers. But it is inaccurate to say, that one of these writers, can write the ideal essay with only just their own style of writing. Trimble had many good techniques that can be…

    The sound repetition makes it easier to memorize the stories. When the child can remember the words they feel like they are reading. Both child and parents know they only memorized it, but the child's confidence is boosted, and then next time the challenge of reading will be easier. The illustrations in the stories also help children learn to read. Most stories have made up words to follow the wacky rhyming patterns. These words can often not be understood by child or parent making the child, again, feel confident about reading. The illustrations can help the children figure out the word they do not know.In all of his works the illustrations create metaphors. Some of the best examples are back to his famous story, And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street. When the child is traveling to school, he is carrying a large book that looks uncomfortable. This represents the child not enjoying…

    This book is a fun story about the cat in the hat showing young cat all about reading. He shows young cat all of the funny ways he can read and how much fun reading is. This book definitely packs a strong message to kids of how important reading is and how much fun it can be. Seuss stresses the importance of reading within the story by saying that reading will take you places. The book uses Seuss’s classic rhyme scheme making it a fun read for kids. The illustrations are also classic, cartoony pictures that use vibrant illustrations and show all kinds of funny characters. I liked this book when I was young because of how much fun it was to read.

    Hurston Writing Style

    • 809 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Based on Richard Wright’s critique and judgement on the novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, written by Zora Neale Hurston, Wright uses a candid tone and a sophisticated style of writing to argue that Hurston fails to exemplify a theme that addresses the Negro life. Instead, he claims that her novel supports the “white audience whose chauvinistic tastes she knows how to satisfy.” How does Wright know that Hurston knows how to satisfy the white audience? From this, one can assume that Wright probably knows more about her, and severely criticizes her writing style for not having the hardships and the race relations with the whites and the blacks. In my perspective, I disagree with Wright, in the sense that Hurston implies the notion of…

    The works of Dr. Seuss have for so long accompanied children growing up, whether it be in school, at the library, or at home. For children, his books represented a land of adventure and wonderful rhyming imagery. But in our childhood years, who knew he had an underlying meaning that meant so much more? As a young adult today, I am now cognizant of Dr. Seuss’ hidden agenda and vow to implore this man’s exertions of bringing awareness to the problems America was facing not only nationally, but globally as well. In Dr. Seuss’ book, The Butter Battle Book, he attempts to “open the eyes of the world” by using interpretation, symbolism, and rhyme scheme as an effective tool for achieving peace.…
