    The Socratic Seminar on Friday mainly discusses how tone has a large impact on the reader’s understanding of an essay or piece of writing. One point that Juliana makes is that tone depends on the type of writing. For example, in creative and narrative writing, when an individual is writing about their experience or understanding, the tone of the essay would be more subjective. More specifically, the genre of this essay would determine the type of tone that the author establishes. In the text, “Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie, the tone of the story is hopeful and positive.

  • Once More To The Lake Vs Summerland Essay

    687 Words  | 3 Pages

    “Once More to the Lake” by E.B White, and “Summerland” by Peter Jon Lindberg are examples of great traveling experiences “to lose and find ourselves.” In these essays there is not any travel solely for adventure, but mostly for a tradition. They show us that traveling does not really need to be just “about the unfamiliar, the discovered, the passport full of stamps” (Lindberg), but may also be to regret nothing from the trip, even if it was unexpected. In his essay, White addressed his most hidden thoughts and feelings about mortality in a beautiful way, which leads him to lose and find himself. His flashback began the first time White brought his son to the lake in Maine where, after many years since he had come with his father for summer vacation, he became confused by his role.

  • My Papa's Waltz Rhyme Scheme

    I wrote this poem attempting to emulate the style of Theodore Roethke, specifically his poem “My Papa’s Waltz”. The inspiration of this poem was a camping trip and a hike me and my friends went on a couple of years ago. I used Roethke’s ABAB rhyme scheme and attempted to keep a similar meter. I also used the same style of syntax seen in “My Papa’s Waltz”, by using two lines of a stanza as one sentence. I attempted to convey the sense of wonder and nature I felt while on the trip, and I think this is best captured in the first stanza.
