Throughout all of the short stories that I read, I noticed a very consistent style in John Updike's writing. He uses many common methods in all or most of his stories. One of those methods that Updike used very frequently, but also very effectively, was imagery. This is when an author writes something and you can actually see, feel or taste it. In the short story Gesturing the phrase...

Figurative Language Vietnam War
1,291 wordsAnalysis of Imagery in "Loving from Vietnam to Zimbabwe" After reading Janice Mirikitani's poem "Loving from Vietnam to Zimbabwe" there is a profound amount of imagery used by Mirikitani that explains a reality of sex, love, and war.

When the author is clear about how their story fulfills the reader's needs, what the story is about, and its plot, they stil...

Opening Chapter Hot Air
1,376 wordsA dictionary defines the word addictive as being: wholly devoted to something, a slave to another and in a state of wanting more. Ian McEwan claimed that he wanted to write an opening chapter that had the same effect as a highly addictive drug. In my opinion he has achieved in doing this. At the end of chapter one the reader is left needing more information about the characters introduced and what tragedy actually occurred. McEwan took the definition, addictive, and wrote the opening chapter, ne...

While these are often the most visible aspects of a story, there is an underlying foundation of principles that support a well-told story. These principles could be compared to a house foundation. Without a solid foundation, the other effects of the house, its character and design, cannot be fully enjoyed. In the same fashion, the principles of storytelling are also mostly out of sight, but the effect of ba...

Clich Sexual Desires
2,760 wordsVladimir Nabokov, one of the 20 th century's greatest writers, is a highly aesthetic writer. Most of his work shows an amazing interest in and talent for language. He deceptively uses language in Lolita to mask and make the forbidden divine. Contextually, Lolita may be viewed as a novel about explicit sexual desire.

Presidential Candidates Al Gore
1,168 wordsIs the Media Bias? Many people including myself believe that it is. On the other hand, there are people who believe that media is not biased and just states facts.

It might be the subtlest of things that is unnoticeable to more blatant attempts. The fact is bias is everywhere and it is very difficult to separate the ...

He shows the violent nature of soldiers under the pressures of war, he makes an effective antiwar statement, and he comments on the reversal of a social deviation into the norm. By skillfull...
