Include evidence and analysis please. ]]> 2020-03-05 01:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/timsthinktank/letter/wish/454771645 https://padlet.com/timsthinktank/letter/wish/454771879 i feel very frustrated with the speaker. this is because of his tone in the letter which was very narcisstic and rude. this can be seen when he said " i shall not expect to marry the typewriter " yet at the same time he said "a leader of tomorrow : so why dont you make it today?" this shows that he is very arrogant. hence, his tone makes me feel very frustrated.

You need to unpack your quotations further. How do these lines you just cited show that the speaker is narcissistic and rude? ]]> 2020-03-05 01:13:22 UTC https://padlet.com/timsthinktank/letter/wish/454771879 https://padlet.com/timsthinktank/letter/wish/454771927 enjabment. the poet uses semicolons with no full stops.

Enjambment refers to the continuation of a sentence without a pause beyond the end of a line. What is the effect of enjambment in this poem? Perhaps to show that the speaker cannot stop talking about himself/ herself, just like how the use of enjambment shows that the lines in the poem struggle to end but continue from one to another. ]]> 2020-03-05 01:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/timsthinktank/letter/wish/454771927 https://padlet.com/timsthinktank/letter/wish/454772023 I feel agitated towards the speaker as he came off as extremely impolite and as a person who has no manners. This is evident from the line “so take me to your highest superior”. Despite the man still being unemployed, he demanded to meet with someone of higher authority and thus looking down in the person interviewing him and claiming that he is unqualified to interview him. The speaker uses imperatives in 'take me' to command his interviewer to recommend someone more qualified to speak to him. This is extremely rude as the speaker, being unemployed, is bossing his potential employer around. This makes me feel very agitated because the speaker is stepping out of line and going against the expected behaviour of an interviewee. Thus his rude mannerisms make me feel angry. 😡😤

You made a good and clever point about how the speaker has despised the interviewer by requesting to see the highest-ranking member of the company. You can afford to analyse the speaker's tone and word choice in the line you just quoted. What does his tone and diction reveal his rudeness? Why would that make you feel agitated?

This can be Seenform the poem saying,”i am reasonably qualified: quite handsome: my lack of experience compensated by my prodigal intelligence”. This shows that he is very narcissistic as he is deeply in love with himself and thinks to highly of himself. Thus, are very annoyed at the speaker’s arrogance

Good attempt to explain your thoughts. You need to pick out specific words from the quote which show exactly how the speaker is narcissistic, and why that led you to feel annoyed. ]]> 2020-03-05 01:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/timsthinktank/letter/wish/454772026 https://padlet.com/timsthinktank/letter/wish/454772249 I feel that the speaker is very arrogant and proud about himself. Although he is at a job interview, he has a very rude and arrogant tone to his job interviewer and he has many demands from the interviewer. Usually in an interview, you would respect what the interviewer says and follow it but the speaker instead demands for a high ranking personnel to cater to his needs and he demands for a less stressful and tiring job which is not what a normal job interviewee would do . This is why i feel that the speaker is very proud and arrogant.

Your response looks promising, though it is lacking in evidence! You need to make sure you also write about your emotions when reading this now. This is because the question is asking you about your own feelings (is it anger? jealousy? happiness?) towards the speaker.

You need to first explain how is this line an exaggeration, and what this exaggeration tells us about the speaker. That is what it means to explain the effects of a literary device. ]]> 2020-03-05 02:37:12 UTC https://padlet.com/timsthinktank/letter/wish/454800752 https://padlet.com/timsthinktank/letter/wish/456245971 The tone of the youth's voice is very rude and sarcastic. From the poem, he said that "i shall not expect to marry the typewriter". This shows that the youth is very rude and sarcastic towards his potential employer. Thus, this shows that the tone of the youth can tell us about the youth's personality and disposition.

Spot on in your choice of quotation! It definitely does reveal a rude and sarcastic tone in the speaker's voice. Now, you need to identify exactly which words in your quote show that he is rude and explain why these words convey rudeness.]]> 2020-03-07 15:26:59 UTC https://padlet.com/timsthinktank/letter/wish/456245971 https://padlet.com/timsthinktank/letter/wish/456430291 Diction
The poem uses words such as "marry the typewriter", the word "marry" implies that the writer thinks that he should not work with the typewriter for a long time. The poem also used "prodigial intelligence", "prodigial" can also imply that the writer thinks he is very intelligent, maybe more so than others. Hence, the writer used Diction in the poem to emphasize that the poem is being written with a lot of apparent disrespect.

Good analysis of diction here, especially the part on prodigal intelligence, which in itself is a form of exaggeration / hyperbole. This shows that the speaker is not very humble and thinks too highly of himself. You need to rephrase your explanation for how the word "marry" implies that the writer thinks that he should not work with the typewriter for a long time. What's the point of telling us this? What are you trying to say? ]]> 2020-03-08 11:46:01 UTC https://padlet.com/timsthinktank/letter/wish/456430291 https://padlet.com/timsthinktank/letter/wish/459081241 We think that the speaker is very narcissistic. This is because in the poem, he says, "i am reasonably qualified: quite handsome: my lack of experience compensated by my prodigal intelligence". This shows how the speaker is deeply in love with and thinks too highly of himself. Thus we think that the speaker is very self-conceited and arrogant.

In the poem, he says, “I am reasonably qualified: quite handsome: my lack of experience compensated by my prodigal intelligence:” These evidences show how he is very confident that he will get the job by playing by his strengths, and that he thinks that attitude does not matter when it comes to writing a job application. Thus, this shows how arrogant the speaker was when writing the job application.

Good analysis! ]]> 2020-03-12 12:32:48 UTC https://padlet.com/timsthinktank/letter/wish/459089804 timsthinktank https://padlet.com/timsthinktank/letter/wish/459213974 2.

Enjambment (run on lines) refers to the continuation of a sentence without a pause beyond the end of a line. What is the effect of enjambment in this poem? Perhaps to show that the speaker cannot stop talking about himself/ herself, just like how the use of enjambment shows that the lines in the poem struggle to end but continue from one to another.

The effect of this enjambment in the poem is that it draws attention to how talkative the speaker is. This makes me feel annoyed because he cannot stop talking about himself and does not pause to consider whether his rude behaviour towards his potential employer is acceptable or not. ]]> 2020-03-12 14:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/timsthinktank/letter/wish/459219396 https://padlet.com/timsthinktank/letter/wish/459564070 We can conclude from the passage that the speaker is very arrogant and narcissistic due to the tone of the letter and the choice of words the speaker used. This is evident from the letter which states, "I am reasonably qualified: quite handsome: my lack of experience compensated by my prodigal intelligence: i shall not expect to marry the typewriter:" From these words, it shows that the speaker thinks too highly of his brilliance from the phrase, "my lack of experience compensated by my prodigal intelligence:" The speaker also does not believe in hard work and thinks that he is highly sought after from the phrase, " I shall not expect to marry the type writer: it's decision making i am after:" The tone is expected to be formal as the speaker is speaking to someone of a higher designation but the choice of words used by the speaker is very informal which can be shown from usage of many colons and no capitalisation of letters and bad grammar and sentence structure.

I think the speaker is very arrogant. He describes his personal qualities with extreme pride. For instance, in lines 6 to 7, the speaker states, "my lack of experience compensated by my prodigal intelligence," This shows that the speaker thinks very highly of himself, calling himself smart even though he willingly admits he has zero experience whatsoever. Thus, I find the speaker extremely overconfident and arrogant.
