Gatsby Literary Devices

Literature has been measured a driving force for societal change, particularly in a nation like America where literature has been acting upon our actions since our independence, correcting mistakes and provoking thought among our readers. Straying from the beginnings of Tom Sawyer to modern classics such as the Harry Potter Series, many characteristics such as the adventuring boy we enjoy to the suspense wizardry and witchcraft make what is considered “good” writing.

In “Good Readers and Good Writers”; Vladimir Nabokov suggests the use of rhetoric to give the novel body and character to discern it from other novels. In

There have been many books to represent the life of people other than our own for years. One would have thought that this style of nonfiction historical writing would have been mastered by now, but apparently to some scholars this ability is apparently lost. In the “book” The Year 1000: What Life Was Like at the Turn of the First Millennium - An Englishman 's World by Danny Danziger and Robert Lacey, a ton of information about the history of what is now England is dumped on the reader.

The reader is not bewildered by how awesome the book was, but because the book had no real organization to make its purpose work.

An excellent writer might revise their work by adding missed words or phrases, fix misspelled words, or reorganize their thoughts. Revision gives the writer a chance to see if their writing is really worth saying and if the reader will understand it.

One of the most effect ways of communication is writing. It allows that author to completely unravel what they truly believe. A good author, though, knows what he or she believes, so when writing they are able to present their believes in a way that persuades the readers to absorb the argument and contemplate what the author presents in comparison to their own beliefs. Charles Blow, who writes for The New York Times, writes as described previously in a sarcastic, yet dignified tone, which shifts when presenting both sides of an argument. Sentence structure also allows Blow to set apart what is important and what the reader needs to take note of.

(And I hate bad ones, hello Ikea.) Freire writes about the process and I think that is what makes authentic writing so essential. Not a process in structure yet a process that allows the reader to move thru the process with the writer. It is crucial that communication through writing appeals to humanity in a way that it connects us in order to be

Overall this book was captive. What caught my attention the most was the way Q was persistent even if at times he wanted to give up on solving the problem he was always lead to trying to find Margo one way or another. Paper Towns did meet my expectations it was entertaining to read this book and think what would happen next. At first, I Wondered why the author didn’t write about Margo making the other decision, why pick the sad ending but then I realized, that it was a better ending the way he described it.

My writing style emphasizes my voice and thoughts in the moment instead of thinking it over in advance before I begin writing. This was our first essay in English 20, so I wanted to put an extra effort to make sure important points from the text were mentioned in a way for the reader to understand. I was able to get more feedback about what I needed to improve on instead of the things I was successful within in my writing.

The types of writing that I enjoyed the most are the Late Start Supported Opinion Paragraph and Persuasive because I like to inform or explain the subject to the reader and stating my opinion to influence the reader. The types of reading that I found difficult are narrative because sometimes the author wouldn’t give a clear explanation such as the events and where the setting takes place. I can use the writing process to generate and organize ideas and produce first drafts, revised drafts and final polished pieces of writing because I would organize my ideas on my rough copy before proceeding to the good copy. I have knowledge of various writing forms: summary, opinion, news report and a reflection because I would search it up to get an idea of the writing forms before I start to work on it. I am working on the ability to communicate with different audiences and purposes because sometimes I would get confused with my topic and I wouldn’t know what I am doing.
