    John Krakauer's Into Thin Air

    In chapter 12 of John Krakauer’s book Into Thin Air, precise words were used to help the reader visualize with the text. John and his team are heading to their final camp on Mt. Everest and are going to make a summit attempt. One example of precise words is when John spots hoards of people ascending on ropes. He doesn’t want to be below them and get hit by something. John wants to avoid “stones whizzing down the face from above”. This helps me visualize how fast and how close to you rocks could be falling on a mountain. He could have used a word like falling but that wouldn’t make the reading experience as fascinating. Another example is when John stops to take a picture of other climbers. “Squinting through my camera’s telephoto lens”…

When Jared Diamond takes a visit to New Guinea, he is encountered by a local politician on the beach whose name is Yali, and as they walked and talked together, Yali asked a simple question “Why is it that you white people developed so much cargo and brought it to New Guinea, but we black people had little cargo of our own?’’ .That question made Jared go on the journey of his life. The book explains how three major powers: Guns, Germs, and Steel brought by the Europeans, conquered the world and raises a simple question on why many societies and civilizations were different back then and how it has shaped the fates of humanity as it is today.…

    Guns, Germs And Steel, By Jared Diamond

    The article, Guns, Germs and Steel, written by Jared Diamond, is an argument about how and why things happened differently in history in different continents. It’s about looking deeper into why things happened the way they did. Why did western Eurasian societies become more powerful? What enabled these parts of the world to develop more quickly and in turn be able to conquer less developed societies around the world? The important message to grasp from this article is not about how certain continents or areas becoming developed quicker, but why those specific areas were the ones to develop quicker. An example of this that Diamond discusses, is how New Guineans were still living in the “Stone Age” 200 years ago when Europeans came to New Guinea with materials (called cargo) that were very valued. The question was, why did the people of New Guinea have a scarce amount of cargo when the white Europeans had so much of it? (page 14)…

    Walt Whitman's 'When I Heard The Learn' D Astronomer

    found the poem “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer” by Walt Whitman interesting. The poem was straightforward for the most part so I found it easier to read than many of the other poems. First, I found the use of the word gliding in the poem very strange. The speaker was in an astronomy lecture hall and he stood up and left in the middle of the lecture. When I imagine an individual standing up in the middle of a hall, I think of it being disturbing, loud and annoying. The choice of the words rising and gliding made it sound like the writer stood up smoothly and gracefully which I found strange in the context. Also, the line that says “How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick.” I understood unaccountable as in the author wasn’t feeling…

    There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.” This is a famous quote said by Marcel Proust.

    Farther On In The Chapter By William Golding

    Farther on in the chapter when the storm finally breaks, a very menacing atmosphere is created. The tension keeps rising throughout the passage as it nears the death of Simon- though the build up of events and grotesque descriptions of the boys' actions and the environment around them. One of the ways in which Golding depicts a menacing atmosphere is through consistent and vivid descriptions; for example, when the boys have "a wave of restlessness" that made them "swaying and moving aimlessly". Here, the author is using the verb 'swaying' and the verb 'aimlessly' which are both associated with the wind to describe the boys' movement. Consequently, this is a surprisingly powerful effect given as it makes the boys' seem as if a supernatural force…
