Fever Crumbs Story
The passage from Fever Crumbs story is told through long compounds with simple sentences mixed in. The variety of sentences of vast it could go from very informal and choppy to formal and sharp sounding. Though most of the plot is told in neutral writing. This makes sense because this story is about a very rational girl and her adventure in an irrational world. This story tends to repeat especially when Creech is around or in flashbacks but other than that not really.The major thing that does repeat in both of the examples is Scriven or Scivener. Which is a race of humans and also a huge plot element.

    The literary works of two Canadian authors can often be place under a microscope where the similarities of their works become very apparent. The writing styles tend to have many aspects in common. The short story “Cornet at Night” by Sinclair Ross is very similar to “The Boat” by Alistair MacLeod. They are similar in not just one but in many ways. The two literary works share many aspects between them. These aspects extend over a wide variety of topics. These aspects are used by the authors in both short stories to help develop the plot and deepen the story. The most comparable of these aspects are the theme, setting and the diction that is used.…

    The Yellow Fever epidemic that raged through Philadelphia in 1793 changed life for Philadelphians who survived the outbreak of the disease. A historical fiction novel, Fever 1793, by Laurie Halse Anderson, took place in this advanced, busy city when the Yellow Fever came to town. Matilda “Mattie” Cook, the main character of the novel, has to learn how to survive the fever and keep herself and the ones she loves alive while doing it. All through the novel, Matilda learns a lesson about how saying goodbye to people she cares about is difficult, and has to learn to accept the pain that lingers afterwards - something that Anderson also shows through her use of repetition of flashback in the novel.…

    Annie Proulx's language and diction in the story is interesting. Instead of writing in complete sentences shes writes small phrases. Although the phrases and random words may sound confusing and out of place I think that they give a much more clear representation of the setting and the story. Instead of using long word sentences Proulx uses specific words that stand out in the reader's mind. It helps the reader picture everything easily and she really gets the point across with one concise and powerful word the words definitely helped convey the mood and tone that Proulx was trying to get across. For example when Proulx says” A great damp of loaf of a body. At six he weighed 80 pounds . At sixteen he was buried under a casement of flesh . Head shaped like a crenshaw, no neck, reddish hair ruched back. features as bunched as kissed fingertips. Eyes the color of plastic. The monstrous chin, a freakish shelf jutting from the lower face.”…

    The Bedford Reader Essay

    • 785 Words
    • 4 Pages

    In the first chapter of The Bedford Reader, the techniques of narration and specific narratives are assessed. To begin, a definition of a narrative is clarified, “a narrative may be short or long, factual or imagined, as artless as a tale told in a locker room or as artful as a novel by Henry James” (40). The passages go in-depth into the process of storytelling, picking apart the importance of each piece, and allowing the reader to understand the simplicity of an essay, or in this case, a narrative. The passage evaluates a method of a summary with an analogy, “A summary is to a scene, then, as a simple stick figure is to a portrait in oils” (44). Simply stated, this means that a summary is as effective as a story written in complete and prolific detail. The Bedford Reader supplies the reader with examples and lectures to portray exactly what the detail of the narrative should include, and the purpose of the piece.…

    “It ain’t whatcha write, it’s the way atcha write it.” (Jack Kerouac). Many things can make a story interesting, the context is not always the most important. The way a writer tells the story is often what hooks the reader, by creating intriguing and eventful dialogue that attracts the reader. Bundles of information can be helpful in giving the reader insight to the characters life. However that information can only keep a reader attracted for so long as the reader desires a dramatic or traumatic event to occur.…

    The second passage, in contrast to the first, creates a wild and exotic hell that overflows with mystery and dark appeal. The syntax patterns change with almost every sentence. No two sentences start with the same word, and the sentence structures are varied. Long and intense descriptive phrases festoon Passage 2, such as in the opening sentence: “Vast and primeval, unfathomable, unconquerable, bastion of cotton mouth, rattlesnake, and leech, mother of vegetation, father of mosquito, soul of silt…” These long and meandering phrases of imagery…

    ‘(SENTENCE 1) His blood fairly skooshes out, covering his face like an oily waterfall and driving me into a frenzy; I'm smashing at his head and his skull is cracking and opening and I'm digging the claw hammer into the matter of his brain and it smells but that's only him pissing and shitting and the fumes are sticking fast in the still winter air and I wrench the hammer out, and stagger backwards to watch his twitching death throes, seeing him coming from terror to that graceless state of someone who knows that he is definitely falling and I feel myself losing my balance in those awkward shoes and I correct myself, turning and moving down the old stairway into the street. (SENTENCE 2) Out on the pavement it's very cold and totally deserted.’ This is a very unusual case of such a technique and perhaps that is just as well, for a passage made only of alternate very long then short sentences would be no less tiresome than one constructed only of sentences of the same length. In this particular example it works. The length of the first sentence literally takes a reader’s breath away, forcing them to read very quickly thus heightening the drama, and it is a very dramatic event indeed; the brutal butchering of a helpless man, made particularly graphic by the fact that we, the reader, are inside the mind of the mad man responsible.

    I think that I was unfairly awarded a C in your accounting class this term, and I am asking you to change the grade to a B. It was a difficult term. I don't get any money from home, and I have to work mornings at the Pancake House (as a cook), so I had to rush to make your class, and those two times that I missed class were because of special events at the Pancake House (unlike some other students who just take off when they choose). On the midterm examination, I originally got a 75 percent, but you said in class that there were two different ways to answer the third question and that you would change the grades of students who used the "optimal cost" method and had been counted off 6 points for doing this. I don't think you…
