369 Words2 Pages

Twyla Tharp is a dancer and choreographer. In the book “The creative habit”, she mentions that creative is from habit. And how to prepare this habit? The process will be very important.

It must be in your memory. Something that you see, you learned, you have felt. You might unable to figure out when and what impress you, but they will keep in your mind.

    Look at the world and think about what has changed over the past centuries and see if we can determine why it has now become what it is today. Our history has plenty of technologies and other products that have risen in the past five or six centuries, but now have changed a bit that might not be good.

In Ethan Frome, however, the winter landscape remains static throughout the novella. What does change are the character’s reactions to it. The words and phrases that Wharton uses to describe the setting so effectively express Frome’s emotional state, the otherwise silent setting becomes a vital non-silent character in the

And now the sounds: the thump of distant antelope feet on grassy sod, the papery rustling of vultures.” This shows how realistic everything is and that you don’t have to leave your house to get an experience of an African Dessert, The way Bradbury appeals to all of the senses to give the reader the experience as if there standing next to George in the African desert, he gives something that is till and a place, a life and makes it seem so much more alive than it is. Bradbury uses the phrase “the papery rustling of vultures.”
