Teenage Boys S E
524 wordsS. E. Hinton is considered to be one of the greatest writers about youth of all time. Since she often writes from a boys point of view, she uses her initials S. E. instead of her name Susan Eloise. She explains this by saying, I figured that most boys would look at the book and think, What can a chick know about stuff like that? She was born in 1948 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She was raised there and went to college at the University of Tulsa, with education as her major. She wrote her first, and proba...

Grocery Store First Person
434 wordsI found the story powder very intriguing. The author kept you enchanted with the character of his father, yet disenchanted with his own character. The authors father was a cool impractical father he drove a sports car, took risks such as driven through unplowed snow covered roads and went down hill skin for fun. Unlike my father who drives a compact car, does't like during at night let alone in snow and goes antique shopping for fun. Yet the author lives a very practical life with his clothes ca...

State Of Mind Lost Love
1,152 wordsEdgar Allan Poe's The Raven, representing Poe's own crisis, is oddly moving and eye-catching to the reader. In his essay entitled The Philosophy of Composition, Poe reveals his purpose in writing The Raven and also describes the work of constructing the poem as being calculated in all aspects. Of all the distressing topics, Poe wished to use the one that was universally understood, death, specifically death involving a loved one. The tone seemingly represents a very painful state of mind, an int...

Point Of View Raymond Carver
442 wordsThe Tell-Tale Heart, by Edgar Allan Poe, is written in the first person. This is proven because I is used to tell the story. This story told is by a participating narrator. The narrator is also the main character. The point of view used in this story is the unreliable narrator; this is a point of view according to Literature by X. J. Kennedy and Dana Gioia. This view was chosen because the narrator was very deceptive, deluded and deranged. For example, I cut off the head and the arms and the leg...

Bruce Dawe Apology For Impatience
683 wordsApology for Impatience for Gloria. On first reading, this poem seems quite incomprehensible. Out of context, the poem appears to be about love and relationships. Apology for Impatience was written in 1963 (wife dead? ) and it was written for Gloria, his wife. Dawe rarely uses a first person persona and it is through his use of the first person persona and the fact that it was written for his wife, that leads me to believe that Dawe was not just making a comment on love, but on his love for Glori...

Thales Of Miletus A Brief History
851 wordsThe first thing I would like to say before I start this paper on Thales is that when dealing with ancient Greek mathemetitions, any "facts" you may uncover are really just educated guesses. The reason for this is, because all records back then were kept on cuneiform tablets. These tablets just did not hold up well over time, and were destroyed before anyone could really make a lasting, permanent record of his life and studies. (2) With this being said, let me share with you some of my findings o...

Computer Games Short Term

And not simply for the purpose of destroying them later; he sincerely loved the act of constructing elaborate infrastructures from blocks and other household toys. So he reckoned that it would be a good idea to make a game that allowed players to do just this, but on a computer. Not even he was prepared for what came after. Released four years later, in 1989, SimCity became one of ...

Other writers become paralysed with the thought of using the first person: a serious dilemma for an autobiographer.

I also found a format that attempted to create what I think is a hap...

The main features are all present in the main build up of tension which is Lavinia's chase through the ravine. Bradbury has a definite structure to do this and he follows a pattern of having relatively long paragraphs of descriptions that place the image of the chase in our minds, such as For a change, all of the far...

Analysis Of Anne Sexton Poem Her Kind

Subjected to nervous breakdowns and admitted to a neuropsychiatry hospital, Sexton must have been all too familiar with the staring eyes and the judging minds of the public. Just being a woman in today's world often can be enough to degrade a person in the public's eye, let alone being labeled as a crazy woman. But Anne Sexton did not let society remain unchallenged in its views. She voiced a different opinion of women...
