...To write an effective essay your main goal is to use one or more of the rhetorical modes. I use the different modes almost everyday on a personal and professional level. For instance, argumentative could be used in the work area, but might make some people get in to a disagreement about certain issues. Argumentative is an educated guess or opinion and not necessarily a fact, it is simply a form of debating. For instance, my husband smoke cigarettes, but it should be banned because it is not healthy. He does not agree with me and says “people live for many years smoking cigarettes”. I can provide him with evidence to back up my reasons. Not all the time you will agree with what someone else does or says, so that is when argument writing comes in place, because everyone has their own opinions. I use narration writing almost everyday with my job. I work at a helicopter pad that transports military and civilians across Iraq to different destinations. When someone gets hurt on the job I have to fill out an incident report. This document describes the event indebt that, and make the person that has to read it understand what happened easily and feel as if they was there. In the report I have to write down in order from the time the person came off the helicopter till the time of the accident. I also keep a journal and I write in narration form, so I can go back and recall my days. Process Analysis/Illustration is an essay or form of writing with intelligent examples...

...back to drug dependency and alcohol in Brave New World . Their drug, soma, is frequently used when they feel anything but “normal.” They drink, get drunk, sleep, wake up with a hangover, then drink again. This mass concern is comparable to the 1930s and the banning of alcohol. The people of that time would do anything to consume as much as possible. "There was a thing called Heaven; but all the same they used to drink enormous quantities of alcohol." They didn’t know a world without alcohol or drugs. For example Lenina used soma because she was stressed or had a bad day “ Lenina felt herself entitled…. She swallowed six half-gramme tablets of soma” (140). She has known to take one anytime she felt indifferent or “abnormal.” Huxley is her descriptive in how soma effects the consumer and how often they consume it. The amount of dependency is phenomenal and without their drug...

...In The Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer shows us a vivid glimpse into the medieval society. Through his work we have been able to determine how people of each social class and profession have been stereotyped. These stereotypes could possibly have been true for many individuals, giving us more of an insight to these olden times. In the beginning of the novel, Chaucer gives a descriptive prologue to each of the twenty-nine characters. Through these descriptions we are shown who is admired by the author and who is disliked. Though this is done very discreetly, it is still very prevalent. These prologues describe each and every character in extreme detail. Chaucer goes on to describe their character and appearance as well as what each does for a living and their social class. While describing the characters he admires, he paints them as being very good looking and having noble personalities. On the other hand, the ones he hates the most are shown in a very negative light on both appearance and personality alike. The reason he dislikes the people he does is due to their social standing....

...June 7, 2012 Epic Poetry and the Great Goddess Hera Homer’s work The Iliad is an ideal example of epic poetry. Throughout The Iliad Homer uses Hera, the Queen of the gods and goddesses, to show three major characteristics of Epic Poetry; stock epithets, the supernatural and the use of similes. The use of stock epithets or descriptive adjectives is the most common characteristic of epic poetry used by Homer. Hera is considered the “white-armed goddess” and “golden-throned”. These epithets describe Hera’s perfect ivory complexion and her role as the “queen of the gods. The use of supernatural phenomena can be seen on several different occasions throughout Homer’s works, particularly, the goddess Hera interacts with mortals many times. One of the first occasions is the contest between Aphrodite, Athena, and Hera to be awarded the golden apple and to be considered the “fairest” goddess. Paris, the son of the King of Troy is asked to pick the winner, and he chooses Aphrodite. Losing the contest causes Hera to despise the Trojans. A second interaction with a mortal is in the midst of a fight between Achilles, and Agamemnon when Hera comes down to send Athena to stop Achilles from killing Agamemnon. Since Hera hates the Trojans and rather than watch Agamemnon be killed by Achilles she decides to intervene and offer Achilles gifts to calm him down. In The Iliad Homer finds great use of similes. Homer uses these similes to help the ordinary people of Ancient Greece better understand...

...Reading Response: The Miracle Quilt By: Kelly Cleary This story was about a quilt that a woman bought at a city- wide garage sale. It was a sweet story about the old days when her grandmother showed Janine how to sew. I was thinking this story was too descriptive. It went on and on about the details of making a quilt and the details on the three pound miracle this woman had found. I personally did not like that part much. This sort of thing doesn’t interest me. It reminds me of a time when I saw my friend crochet and thought I should try it. I found out the hard way, that crochet is very difficult, and tedious. It just wasn’t my sort of hobby. I didn’t completely hate the story because it was very nice that the woman took such an interest in this quilt and who made it. I also liked when the grandmother was telling Janine about the days when the women were stuck in their homes and they started quilting to keep them from going stir crazy. I couldn’t imagine living in a place where there was no television or neighbors for miles. I also liked that there was so much love and work put into these quilts. All the history and stories behind quilts was very interesting. Before this story I never knew how quilts came to be. Personally I don’t like the design. I’m more modern. I think quilts are mostly used by older people. I don’t think that the quilt Janine found was a...

One thing she definitely accomplishes in this novel is making the reader feel for her and understand her family's situation. With a drunken and unstable father, a mother who seems to never side with Jeannette on anything, and a grandmother who practically hates her, Walls' definitely accomplishes bringing the element of pity and sometimes anger to anyone reading this book. Throughout the book, she is always very descriptive of events and places, often using several vivid adjectives in one sentence, just to give the reader the idea she...

...Loss & Death In “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin, the author shows death as a way of relieve, as in “One Art” by Elizabeth Bishop show us that losing something is not a big deal as she states “the art of losing isn’t hard to master” (Bishop, 1). By this, we can say that death or losing something is the main idea of the two stories. “The Story of an Hour” is very explicit and takes death to a more serious situation where the wife finds out that her husband has been in a mortal accident. “One Art” talks about losing something and talks about the loss of a lover. Grouping these ideas, we can say that the two stories join a special part which is the loss of someone special or a loved one. “Lose something every day” (Bishop, 4). This is the 4th line of the poem. It is telling us that we need to practice to lose something every day, and day by day we will get used to it. The narrator is giving a general idea of how easy it is to lose something. In life people can lose things very easily and in a very silly way. Losing someone, a loved one, can be devastating. This is a way to show how the nature of the world is, how common it is to lose someone and how easy it is to lose something. A woman is told that her husband has been in an accident and that he has died. The loss of her husband turns out to be something no one would have expected. At first, she feels miserable as described in the story; “she sank, pressed down by a physical exhaustion that haunted her body and seemed...

...Edgar Hernandez Professor Ali ENC 1102 March 20, 2014 Amy Tan's, “Mother Tongue” and Alice Walker's “Everyday Use” both share similar traits in their writings of these two short stories. “Mother Tongue” revolves around the experiences Tan and her mother had due to her mother's English speaking limitations, she also revolves her story around the relationship of a mother and daughter. Alice walker on the other hand writes a story narrated by “Mama” the mother of two daughters Maggie and Dee and explains the conflicting relationship she has with Dee, both writers similarly emphasize on the relationships these mother and daughter characters had and they unravel both short stories based on these relationships. Although both short stories share this one similar characteristic it is clear that both writers have opposite point of views of their described mother daughter relationships. To begin comparing, both Tan and Walker use the characters of mother and daughter to evoke the importance the relationship plays in the telling of the story. There are similarities that both these characters share. One of these similarities are shown through the use of words that describe a similar feeling of shame or embarrassment both Dee and Tan have towards there mothers at some point in the stories. In one part of the story Tan describes feeling “ashamed” of her mother's broken English (Tan 345). Walker also shows the character Dee having some sense of shame of her mother and sister Maggie by...

...Lara Docarmo Professor Krista Keyes English 1020 06/20/2016 Word Count: 916 An Analysis of Pam Houston’s “How to Talk to a Hunter” Pam Houston’s “How to Talk to a Hunter” shows the different ways men and women think and act. How both men and women interpret and make sense of things differently. Just like any relationship, there comes a time where ends don’t meet. In this particular story, the hunter and the narrator have a hard time understanding each other, or more specifically, the narrator understanding the hunter. Whether it be his language, preferences, or actions, the narrator has a difficult time figuring out what he wants from her and if he is actually genuine. The narrator eventually finds out that there is another woman involved in the hunter’s life. This makes their “relationship” even more complicated. In this short story, Pam Houston uses several different literary devices to help the reader place themselves into the narrator’s shoes, take them into the deep woods of Alaska, and understand what is making the narrator question the hunter’s intentions. Through point of view, symbolism, and imagery, Pam Houston allows the reader to precisely understand the obstacles men and women face when trying to be together. What makes this short story unique is the point of view. Pam Houston uses second person and it is the best way to get the reader to subconsciously enter the story. The use of second person gives the...

...Mulatto The poem “Mulatto” by Langston Hughes is an eleven stanza publication characterized as a narrative. First published in 1926, the poem looks into the sexual activity between people from diverse races who are unmarried, and the outcome of such unions. The poem touches on the issue of the resultant offspring who are children of mixed races, then commonly referred to as mulattos. Born to a white father and a black mother, Langston Hughes qualifies as the best candidate to discuss issues involving race, and bi racial offspring which he does to perfection in this poem (Gates29) Langston gets burdened with the attitude towards his own identity and race. This poem got inspired by the writers lack of racial identity. Some of his works including Mulatto get considered explicit and harsh in nature. However, they bring out his own feelings and experiences as a mulatto, for readers to know about the hard time he had growing up Gates 42). In the poem Mulatto, Hughes refers to himself as a mulatto and at times as a black man too. The poem employs the use of more than a single voice, which keeps interrupting each other. The poem gets broken down into three distinct voice parts that are the son, father and a third voice thought to be the brother. Mulatto contains dramatic dialogue, which brings out the conflict that exists between son and father. The conflict gets worsened by the scorn and vigor expressed in the choice of words, heightened by well put, suggestive intricacies from...

...Effective communication is the most important ingredient in any type of interpersonal relationship. Whether the relationship succeeds or fails depends largely on the ability of the individuals involved to create a positive communication environment. Is a positive communication environment only the result of fate bringing two soul mates together? Are certain types of personalities just not meant to interact with other certain types? I believe, for the sake of any of my future relationships, that a positive communication environment is not left up to chance, but is created by applying certain principles and strategies. A communication environment is not defined by the activities that individuals participate in while spending time together, but by the emotional tone that is set during that time. According to Adler and Rodman (2012), “A climate doesn’t involve specific activities as much as the way people feel about each other as they carry out those activities” (p. 237). It is important to realize that the emotions expressed in a relationship are a precursor for either a negative or positive outcome. Showing positive emotions, such as; love, compassion, and understanding will only produce a healthy communication environment. Whereas, acting judgmental and showing disdain or contempt will most likely speed the decline of a healthy relationship. Whether I like it or not, a communication environment will begin to develop the moment I start communicating with another person either...
