It’s this “Swiss cheese” effect that makes the story so interesting; by allowing the reader to “plug in” his or her own details the story takes on varied connotations. An example of this is the beginning paragraph where the reader gets the impression that this woman is going to be extremely upset that her husband has died in a train accident.

Lyman's motivation for telling the story is to embrace and preserve his brother's memory.

The story is told from Lyman's point of view, the reader has no direct insight into Henry's thoughts and feelings. His words and actions, however, indicate that he loved his brother very much and valued their relationship. When he prepared to leave to serve in the Vietnam War, he wanted to give his younger brother the car that had brought them so much happiness. Presumably, he did not know whether he would survive, and he wanted his brother to become more independent.

People who are depressed are constantly stuck in their own minds. Sort of like being inside your own head and your eyes are just glass windows you can see out of, but cannot escape. She's seeing herself in the wallpaper trying to escape because she is also trying to escape her depression. When she is ripping off the wall paper and the woman is also ripping it from the inside, she thinks that the woman is helping her, but it's herself trying to escape. A person can only deal with certain situation in their life and when their 'cup' are full they begin to vent.

Where Have You Been?." She rejects the role of daughter, sister, and “nice” girl to cultivate her sexual persona, which flourishes only when she is away from her home and family. She makes fun of her frumpy older sister, June, and is in constant conflict with her family. Her concerns are typically adolescent: she obsesses about her looks, listens to music, hangs out with her friends, flirts with boys, and explores her sexuality. She takes great pleasure in the fact that boys and even men find her attractive. Connie has cultivated a particular manner of dressing, walking, and laughing that make her sexually appealing, although these mannerisms are only temporary affectations.

The way a person design things in their life will say a lot about themselves, even if they don’t realize it. The way their food looks when guests come over, the cleanliness of their car when friends get in, the Post-all over their computer at work: these all suggest something to someone and they are persuading them to think a certain way about themselves. The more an individual recognize which “available means” are most appropriate in any given situation, the more the visual rhetoric will work in their favor.

Murray's "Revision" speak about reading the paper fast and capped with your pen and see if you the editor can atleast pick up the grammars. Its also, best to write your assignment in a week of advance and allow the paper to rest. After, the week have past you can read over the paper and it will be easier for you to pick up grammatical and spelling errors.]]> 2016-12-05 17:30:50 UTC https://padlet.com/alesiaarcher/8ttja7xqyh28/wish/141818107 alesiaarcher https://padlet.com/alesiaarcher/8ttja7xqyh28/wish/141818732 Poetry has been considered the language of magic, the language of love, the language of the heart. Poetry, when written well, and read with intent add a completely new dimension to writing. Meter can be hypnotic. Rhyme adds a sense of anticipation that can be either confirmed or derailed by the poet. While prose can take a person somewhere, poetry can take a person to multiple places at once. The rhythm can foretell a part of the story not yet told. Music takes poetry and removes a bit of the subtlety from it on the one hand, but if well done, adds a new dimension. Still, poetry can be crass, crude, engaging, pensive, obscure and more. Below is a video clip showing what poem entails and how it feels:

The reason I chose this particular story is the charming tale I can't describe the plot without spoiling the story, but I will say the story is about a man buried alive and three grave-robbers consisting of two medical students in collusion with the cemetery's gravedigger (the story was written in 1893). Though there is a light-hearten, playful quality in the beginning of the story, the final twist takes a turn for the macabre. Once again, this is a very brief story consisting of only 2-3 pages. I recommend it highly to read due to fact its an on going story. It will allow the student to think whats going happen next.

The female character Jig was able to to counteract with the American Man about the mischievous operation.

Emily, plays out  Tradition versus Change in the story. Through the mysterious figure of Emily Grierson, Faulkner conveys the struggle that comes from trying to maintain tradition in the face of widespread, radical change. Jefferson is at a crossroads, embracing a modern, more commercial future while still perched on the edge of the past, from the faded glory of the Grierson home to the town cemetery where  Civil War soldiers have been laid to rest. Emily herself is a tradition, steadfastly staying the same over the years despite many changes in her community. She is in many ways a mixed blessing.

"NEVER BE AFRAID TO CHANGE!!"
