Reading And Writing High School Read
523 wordsThe book we had to read by Annie Dillard, The Writing Life, talks about a woman who has gone though various times in her life when she would be inspired by something, and she would write it down. This book wasnt really appealing to me. I thought that Annie was going to explain how she went about writing, and what were her struggles. Instead, she starts out telling the read how to write a story and how the words should flow. Dillard uses a lot of metaphors in her writing, which also got me confus...

Comparing Stunt Pilot By Dillard And Spring Ehrlich
644 wordsThe Stunt Pilot by Annie Dillard and Spring by Gretel Ehrlich are two very different essays and I enjoyed one and not the other. The Stunt Pilot was much more engaging and you felt as if you got into the story. Spring was sporadic and I felt as if the essay kept jumping from one thought to the next. Throughout these two essays, the reflection was a lot the same but the tone and voice were very different from one another. Annie Dillard's essay was a great look into the stunt pilots world. Her ton...

Dillard And Leopold Gift Of Perception Thier
1,206 words&# 65279; Sight is merely the collecting of various fragments of light, but the act of seeing is about assumptions. Light bouncing of an object (a chair for example) is only that and nothing else. As far as optics are concerned we do not see the chair, we merely see what is left of any light hitting the chair. But those flashes of light are almost useless without interpretation and assumptions. Our minds use shading, texture and prior experience to determine aspects such as distance and definiti...

Life And Death Side Of The Road
1,180 wordsI think the subject of this story is about making life and death decisions right there on the spot, about staying calm in hard situations. Its also about the consequences of those decisions. Everyday you have to make certain decisions and follow through with them, I feel that it tells what type of character you have when faced with hard decisions that affect someone elses life and you still follow through. I believe that the doctor did the right thing by helping the victim out of the truck. He w...
