The novel The Madonnas of Echo Park by Brando Skyhorse, explains the concept of borderline through the life of Aurora and her half-sister Angie by showing how they felt divided into both sides of either looking for a better life outside of Echo Park or staying there as how their parents did. Through the sisters’ life’s, I learned how the people around you and your choices can cause you to be in a borderline that could be difficult to decide what you want in life. Borderline is the “frontera”, but in the novel borderline is presented as in the space in which the two sisters are in and how they have two pathways to follow and they don’t know what to do since the people around them contribute to them being in a borderline. In chapter 2, Aurora’s borderline is presented with her wanting to have the big house and money Mrs. Calhoun, Felicia’s boss, had which is shown when she is invited to have a pool party with her friends there.

Name heard it. And it is repeated many times to prove the point that it is a common question for all different types of musicians. In Joel’s speech, he uses antithesis to show contrasting views and ideas. “Perhaps it is mainly because musicians want to be the loud voice so many quiet hearts.” He is contrasting the loud voice with quiet hearts to emphasize his point about musicians.

In Chapter Five of How to Read Like a Professor, Thomas Foster’s purpose is to note how all stories ultimately relate with one another. Recurrences and patterns may be hard to notice at first, but once the reader has given the book enough thought and analyzing process, then these similarities are easier to spot. One example Foster brings up is Going After Cacciato written in 1978. Because the author, Tim O’Brien, is aware of his references to different authors, he uses shifting narrative forms to differentiate the reference to the actual plotline (Foster). In the novel, the protagonist’s mind often flashes back to also signal the narrative change.

Throughout history, writers have been religiously recording the important events and emotions humanity has felt during the cheerful and depressing time. Authors, poets, and musicians have a special ability to get in touch with people’s emotions, but the artists of the Harlem Renaissance were exceptional at conveying their point of view to others. Many life changing events happened during the Harlem Renaissance, as well as the Roaring ‘20s. Of all of the writing periods the Harlem Renaissance preserved history through the diverse forms of art and writing that was produced during that time.

Since the beginning of literature, authors have discussed many themes and life truths through their writing, and though they may be separated by centuries of cultural evolution, many of the characters created by these authors share a common theme. Likewise, the novel Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya, the novella The House On Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, and the play A Midsummer’s Night Dream by William Shakespeare are very different stories, yet they also share a common theme. The three of the texts share the common theme of “When people ambitiously pursue their goals, they can be blinded from seeing the reality around them and make illogical decisions.” In the novel Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya, the main character, Antonio, cannot

The final poem of significance is Jazzonia, in which Hughes experiments with literary form to transform the act of listening to jazz into an ahistorical and biblical act. Neglecting form, it is easy to interpret the poem shallowly as a simple depiction of a night-out in a cabaret with jazz whipping people into a jovial frenzy of singing and dancing. But, the poem possesses more depth, when you immerse yourself in the literary form. The first aspect of form to interrogate is the couplet Hughes thrice repeats: “Oh, silver tree!/Oh, shining rivers of the soul!” Here, we see the first transformation.

We decided to talk about our communication on our walk at Green Lake in Seattle, WA. As I mention in a previous journal, this is a place we love to go to. That being said, it seemed like the best place for us to walk and talk and not be in our home. As we walked we discussed ways on how to talk to each other by not raising our voices, throwing what I

At first glance, I thought it was going to be rather difficult to relate any of Dr. Buttke’s work to my own life. However, after reading “The Role of Health in Wildlife Conservation: A Challenge and Opportunity,” I realized that her work is more relatable than most people would think. In this publication, Dr. Danielle Buttke worked with a team of people to produce a paper that would really get her point across in a simple but effective manner. The entire article is about the emerging infectious diseases, EIDs, and how they raise health risks in the wildlife and in humans (Buttke, Decker, and Wild). She mentions that in the public eye wildlife is mostly portrayed as the reason for EIDs and humans are the victims of this (Buttke, Decker, and Wild).

Wong and Waring (2010) indicate that turn-entry device is “a turn-initial item such as well, but, and, so, you know, or yeah which does not project the exact plan of the turn’s construction” (p.41).

Lastly, the audience will be changing from whoever reads my memoir to anyone who sees the found art. According to Glenn and Gray, the rhetorical situation can be understood from the purpose of the writer and the audience they are addressing it to: “Writers (or speakers) enter a rhetorical situation when they identify an opportunity to propose a change (in behavior or attitude) through the effective use of language. Once writers have identified a rhetorical opportunity, they prepare a message (using words and sometimes images) for a specific audience” (2). When changing my memoir into a visual way of found art, the audience will change along with it. The audience use to be for anyone that read my memoir, now it is more limited to anyone that sees in the art museum.

Essay A, Essay B One big aspect in Donna's response was her emphasis and importance of developing a thesis. The two essays we read were precursors in showing us the importance of a thesis and how we are to incorporate it into our writing. Donna also went on to talk about the importance of considering your audience. When it comes to the two essays, "Once More to the Lake" happens to be much more relatable and pertinent than "The Death of the Moth.
