In the small town of Diction the gentle autumn
breeze rustled the golden leaves of the oak trees.
The streets in this small town were as empty as a
blondes head. There were no lights on in any of

mouse walking around at one hundred feet. The sun
slowly sank behind the western horizon, sending
golden rays over the town, this cast drooping
shadows all around. All of the people were at the
city hall, where the mayor and chief of police

Means To An End Make The Reader
951 words
In Twilight of the Idols Nietzsche discusses his
views on Christianity, other philosophers, and
authors of his time. Nietzsche's main focus,
however, is on Christianity and how its actions
and views are means to an end. He uses eloquent
diction that sometimes loses the reader (he makes
up for his articulate word usage with elementary
sentences which describe his views very
efficiently) along with syntax which is very
informal - for the time - to describe his views on
subjects quite exquisitely. ...

I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud

Your memories are your treasures, an accumulated
amount of wealth that under extreme conditions
remind you of the past and define the present, if
it be good or bad. A picture for example, is a
frame captured in the moving animation of time and
is frequently regarded as being worth a thousand
words. If one single frame, one dimension, one
moment, something so short it cant even be
expressed by time, be valued as a thousand words.
Then take into consideration a memory, something
which takes into a...

Describes Old Leisure Personification Imagery And Diction Eliot

philosophy, and industry, all of which radically
changed the lives of those witnessing such
developments. Slower, more relaxed lifestyles have

the rushed leisure of her time is hardly leisure
at all. She accomplishes this by using several
stylistic devices, including personification,

Comparing And Contrasting Anecdotes Of Edwards Whitman

If everyone thought the same, if everyones form

in different levels, but even our ideas have
similarities. The foundations of our ideas are
connected through the various uses of languages
and techniques. Though Edwards and Whitman's
anecdotes differed abundantly in theme and

What is Poetry? What is poetry? What is a poem?
How can you tell the difference between poetry and

simplified starting point for this elusive and
irresistible genre. I developed this one
collaboratively with my colleague at TCC, Stan
