...Name Professor Course William Faulkner William Faulkner is viewed by many as America's greatest writer of fiction. He was born in New Albany, Mississippi, where he lived a life of up and downs. Although, despite the down times he would become known as a poet, a short story writer, and finally one of the greatest contemporary novelists of his time. William Faulkner's accomplishments resulted not only from his love and devotion to writing, but also from family, friends, and certain uncontrollable events. William Faulkner's life is an astonishing accomplishment; however, it is crucial to explore his styles of writing, and how one particular style of writing was able to alter my path in the way I approach my goals in life. He adjusts the style to fit the topic, able to adapt a more traditional type as he easily can invent new, complicated techniques of writing. Throughout his early education, he would work conscientiously at reading, spelling, writing, and arithmetic. However, he especially enjoyed drawing. When Faulkner got promoted to the third grade, skipping the second grade, he was asked by his teacher what he wanted to be when he grew up. He replied, "I want to be a writer just like my great granddaddy"(Minter 18). Faulkner took interest in poetry around 1910, but no one in Oxford, Mississippi, could tell him what to do with his poems. Shortly after, he met a man named Phil Stone. So one afternoon, Stone went to Faulkner's house to get to know him better, and...

...The Tall-Tall Tale of William Faulkner Gavin D. Respress ENG 1102 Troy University The Tall-Tall Tale of William Faulkner The brilliant author William Faulkner stood only five feet, six inches tall, but he is enormous in size in relations to American literature. Faulkner was a prominent writer from the state of Mississippi, who became a Nobel Prize winning novelist and an excellent short story writer who is admired worldwide as one of the best writers of the twentieth century. He is giving credit for transforming the deep-south region of Mississippi in to a fictional setting, where he explained, tested and explored “the old verities and truths of the heart.” In less than a decade, Faulkner accomplished more artistically than most writers have accomplish in their entire lifetime. In fact, his greatest creative triumph is during the period of The Sound and the Fury in 1929 to Go Down, Moses in 1942.

...21 November 2011 Word Count 1,159 William Wordsworth William Wordsworth was born April 7, 1770 in Cockermouth, Cumberland to John and Anne Wordsworth.

William Wordsworth was an early leader of romanticism in English poetry and ranks as one of the greatest lyric poets in the history of English literature. William Wordsworth’s enthusiasm for the French Revolution led him to France in 1791. While he was in France, he fell in love with a French woman Annette Vallon, who gave birth to their daughter in 1792. Due to lack of money, Wordsworth returned to England the following year.

...William Blake, the greatest visionary poet, is regarded as forerunner of Romantic Movement in English literature. He is a devout admirer of intrinsic energies and sublime instincts of human soul Actually Blake’s philosophy asserts more than anything else the contrariety of systems with regard to human soul and the other objects of creation. This characteristic has been reflected in his “Songs of Innocence and of Experience”. The contrariety of human soul is the striking point of the songs. The study of the poems in the two groups shows the two contrary states of human soul. In the ‘Song of Innocence’ Blake depicts the happiness and innocence of a child, to the child the world is a world of simplicity, innocence, purity, happiness and security. In this stage of life love radiates the human soul and it mitigates human sufferings. But the ‘Songs of experience’ are totally apart from the childlike vision of the ‘Songs of Innocence’. The world in the ‘Songs of experience’ is a world of cruelty, tyranny, repression, evil, guilt and suffering. Here instead of joy and innocence, there is misery and oppression. In the ‘Song of Innocence’ life, is delighting and free. Although fear is not necessarily totally absent from this world, but when danger threatens parent figure is at hand to console and to comfort but the protective guardian that we find in the ‘Songs of Experience’. Now we can look at the songs how the poet treats, with his excellent use of symbols, the stages and how the...

...Williams-Sonoma has shown much success and growth within a short amount of time and continues to show potential for future growth as well. If Williams-Sonoma continues with its present strategies and objectives the projected five years of the company will continue to show success and show a fast mass and maturity in growth. As technology changes it will allow William-Sonoma to open up new avenues to reach out to its customers both from the retail sector standpoint and the direct-to-customer approach. My view is that William-Sonoma could capitalize on the new technology that is out and blowing up the market. New apps on cell phones will allow a more expedient approach and allow customers to have access to various thing at their fingertips. As William-Sonoma continues to find new innovative ways to target their audience then their focus is on track. There is no denying that William-Sonoma isn’t working hard to please their costumers nor strategically thinking on how to outsource their items only relying on 4 percent (Rouse, 2010), of responsibility from each one while maintaining the core responsibility. After reviewing the case study, Williams-Sonoma is not alone when it comes to specializing in many of the products that are being sold on the market today.
