Main Point 2

The authors uses imagery and diction to communicate scope and effect the reader. In the story "Story of an Eyewitness" the author uses a broad scope and in the story "Letter from New Orleans: Leaving Desire"  the author uses a narrow scope. Both stories effect the reader because they were a moment in history. In the short story "Story of an Eyewitness" by Jack London the author uses imagery and diction to effect how the story makes you feel. In this story the author uses the broad scope to effect the reader. The writer talks about the whole city being in panic, having to leave all of a sudden, and having to leave their stuff to burn or buried in the ground to keep from burning. This shows the feeling of loss and depression because of knowing how much they've lost. In the short story "Story of an Eyewitness" the author uses imagery and diction when it states "The street was a wall of flame." This makes the reader feel bad for all the people involved because they lost so much and nothing could fix it. This Tory also makes you feel sorrowful for all the people when the passage states "'Yesterday morning,'he said,' I was worth six hundred thousand dollars. This morning this house is all I have left. It will go in fifteen minutes."'  This imagery shows the desperation these people went through when it wasn't their fault.

In the story "Letter from New Orleans: Leaving Desire" the author, Jon Lee Anderson, uses the effect of the imagery and diction to make you feel mournful for the people because of them having to make sacrifices and having to leave the stuff they love. People lost families, pets, homes, and possessions to survive. During the story "Letter from New Orleans: Leaving Desire," Jon Lee Anderson explains the effect of the storm on the houses and how it effected the people. Like when the man had to leave his dog to find his family,"He leaned down to his dog, took both its ears in his hands and caressed them, and then told the dog to go inside. Petrie climbed into the canoe and began paddling over to us." The story also shows how the people were relocated from their family and may never see them again,"but once they leave they are never going to see their homes again." This makes the reader feel really bad for what the people went through. They both may not have the same scope but they effect in the end. The both have lives, buildings, and families at risk and maybe even gone. We should learn to charisma our lives and families because it could all be over in a second.

         What is the affect of imagery and diction ? In the short story "story of an eyewitness " by....the author feel in this story the author uses a broad scope to affect the reader. The author talks about how the whole city was in panic. They all had to leave in a sudden because they would of died quickly .They also had to leave all of there stuff behind or buried it .

In "Letter From New Orleans: Leaving Disaster" the man in the story explained the effects the storm on the houses, and how the storm effected the people, even himself. He explains how he had to leave his dog in order to survive, and find him family. The story states "...the Ninth Ward was a swamp, and, even after it became home to a black and immigrant white community, and was drained (in that order), it was periodically devastated by flooding. During Hurricane Betsy, in 1965, it was hit hard than most of the city, and was underwater for days".
