Otto's Place: A Significant Place In Galena
Significant Place is a paper that was designed to show one’s ability to use descriptive and figurative language. This essays main purpose was to let the reader know about a significant place by using descriptions about what you see. In this essay I really focused on showing the reader what the surrounding were and not telling. My significant place was Otto’s Place in Galena. I chose this place because this is where I have spent the last four years working. I know a lot of the place and have been in there so much describing it would be easy. I picked Otto’s Place: A Hidden Gem, as the title because many people who have found it have been so impressed that with their food and atmosphere and wondered how they have never been there before.

    Book Summary: The Ghost Map By Steven Johnson

    The title of the book I have selected for critical reading is “The Ghost Map by Steven Johnson”. The author Steven Johnson has specialized in unraveling the stories that occur in the intersection of science, technology, and personal experiences. His ideas have had a major influence in countries as diverse as the use of The Internet in political campaigns fields, urban structuring vanguard or the struggle of the 21st century. How important was the investigation for the sustenance of the concept of industrialized cities, the breaking of cultural norms and the effort of few individuals against the false ideas of the masses?. I’ll be investigating the author’s style of writing in narrating a factual disaster in the history of bacterial plague.…

    Comparison Of Marseille And Stamps

    One of the most tantalizing things about writing is that most people who do it, whether or not they know much about what they are describing or the language they are using, write very similar things. Often one may come across two seemingly unrelated pieces of writing, and be surprised to find that they are overwhelmingly alike. Such is so in the case of M.F.K. Fisher's commentary on the French port of Marseille, and Maya Angelou's description of the small town of Stamps, Arkansas; both passages are extremely similar in their effect of wholly enveloping the reader in the descriptions of the towns, through the respective authors' handling of the resources of language. By using imagery, anecdotes, tone, and other stylistic devices, Fisher and Angelou adeptly convey their collective purpose: to describe their own town in such a way as to make the reader feel, taste and smell all that defines it.…

    Time and place matter in this work because the author uses time and place to show how life continues and things have changed; yet, the impact of the night of the assault continues to haunt Anton. I believe that there are three key points that support my position. These points are; how Anton matured over time, how his surrounding places changed after the war, and how Anton held onto the events that took place in Haarlem, even though he as well as the places around him changed.…

    Research Papers for Eudora Welty

    Greater than scene … is situation. Greater than situation is implication. Greater than all of these is a single, entire human being, who will never be confined in any form. —Eudora Welty, One Writer’s Beginnings I owe a special debt to Jan Nordby Gretlund for his Eudora Welty’s Aesthetics of Place (Odense, Denmark: Odense University Press; Newark: University of Delaware Press, ¡994). Given his extensive and intensive analysis of Welty’s fiction, which he makes in response not only to that fiction but also to the considerable body of historical and critical work that has been done on it, Professor Gretlund establishes both a scholarly and a critical context upon which my speculative concerns depend. It is in the light of his study that I have written what follows, intending to bring to the support of our common concern for literature a metaphysical dimension of concern which I believe appropriate to literary criticism.…

    Otto's Accomplishments

    Surprisingly, I didn’t feel the urge to cry. There I was, standing amongst the rolling hills of Eagle Rock in Los Angeles, and my cheeks were as dry as the city’s desert climate. The day had come; it was time to say goodbye to my older brother, Otto, who was about to start college. Equipped with tissues in my pocket and mascara-free eyes, I had anticipated a day filled with tears. I cried when he broke his elbow in a nasty snowboarding accident and I cried at his graduation when the realization hit me that he would soon be leaving home. Yet when finally confronted with the momentous occasion of his departure, not a single tear welled in my eye.…
