ENG 110-215C 02/10/2014 WRITING ASSIGNMENT 1 In my first writing assignment I’m going to discuss and compare two essays. The two essays are “A View from The Bridge”‚ and “The Miss Dennis School of Writing”. Both author’s Miller and Steinbach used the descriptive technique.

A good way to captures the reader’s attention is that these essays topics relay a complete experience. The authors describe

Similarly‚ in "A View from the Bridge" by Arthur Miller‚ a strong cultural context is established from the outset: The attitudes and social rules of this Italian-American immigrant community are firmly defined. Yet the community is still poised delicately between the "civilized" American society it hopes to

In the essay "A View from a Bridge‚" the author‚ Cherokee Paul McDonald attempts to describe the world through words to a boy with no sight.

In “A View From The Bridge” by Arthur Miller I believe that Eddie is the character who changes most in the course of the play. I will show this by talking about his role in the drama‚ the dramatic devices and use of language by Miller as well as the background and social context of the play. Eddie’s role in the play is the most vital one; he is by far the most important character in the play. It is‚ after all‚ his inability to deal with his emotions that triggers most of the story and the tragedy

So Catherine at this point is the one who is taking care of Eddie it seems‚ and by showing this Miller raises the question of whether actually Catherine is taking the role of a daughter in Eddie’s life‚ or the role of a wife. Her submissive attitude is shown also by the stage direction where Catherine ‘sits on her heels’ beside Eddie. But this quote also illustrates that Catherine is child-like and possibly slightly naive. Another example

Arthur Miller’s play “A View from the Bridge” explores main themes such as manliness‚ hostility and aggression. These three elements lead to the downfall of the Carbone along with their cousins Marco and Rodolpho “illegal immigrants” from Italy. Ultimately it is Eddie Carbone’s opinions of how Rodolpho‚ Catherine‚ Beatrice and Marco should act and his ideals of “respect” and the importance of a “name” that lead to his demise. Eddie Carbone has very strong views on the characteristics men should
