Don’t stop the ship from leaving the harbor just because you’re afraid of the adventures ahead.

Hoagland’s use of space and long lines pulls the reader into the rhythm so that the audience can see the world through his perception. He strives to bring the outside world into the reader’s small spaces and forces them to acknowledge that there is a big world out there that hinges on our everyday lives, whether they want to see it or not. In addition to this, the form the author chose for this poem is free verse. To explain, a free verse poem does not follow any rules. The creation is completely in the hands of the author.

Above, on the ceiling, a relief ornament shaped of a wreath, and in the center of it a blank space, plastered over, like the place in a face where the eye has been taken out.” gives the reader a first impression of dull, boring, broken spirited. The short sentences and the commas in them force the reader to pause or break in the flow of reading, so any chance of the moment intensifying never happens. The author does this on purpose to create that more dull, boring tone in the form of simple sentences. She does this because that is just what that moment is, boring, nothing interesting is happening and that is exactly what the character is experiencing at the moment.
The Haunting of Pittock Mansion I’m a great believer in the paranormal and I can tell you that there is nothing spookier than a real honest to life ghost story. At present the Pittock Mansion is a museum which is located on a 46 acre estate that sits atop of a mountain overlooking Portland, Oregon. The mansion was built of sandstone in 1914 and it has 22 rooms. The story begins with Henry Pittock who at 19 joined up with a wagon train in 1853 and took a journey that started in Pennsylvania and ended in Portland, Oregon.
In the short story “That Room” by Tobias Wolff the room and what happens in it represents the realization the narrator has about how he has no control of his life. He wants a better life than the one he is living right now. He thrives for greatness in his life but he can only create that greatness in his mind. “I felt the actuality of a life I knew nothing about yet somehow contrived to want myself: a real life in a real world” (Wolff 269). The narrator in this story can’t really do anything about the life his living at the moment, he only wishes to do so.

The atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 caused more damage than reparations to worldly peace. Years following the bombs were agonizing to live through, it was impossible to inhabit the bombed areas due to the substantial amounts of radiation in the air.(Warren 98) Evidence can be compiled to believe the bombs had done more harm than justice. “Since the latent period of cancer may be long and cancers in general increase in later life, con- siderable effort has gone into determination of changes in incidence of various cancers as the surviving populations have aged. There is evidence that cancers of the thyroid, female breast, and the lung may be slightly increased among the survivors.” (Warren 99)
In the title only the first word in each sentence is capitalized to follow correct grammar of a normal sentence, but also to connect it to the depressed mood of the poem.

In the piece “Self Reliance” by Ralph Waldo Emerson, one of Americas most influential thinkers, Emerson talks about the subject of individuality. Using many different rhetorical strategies, he makes his perspective on the subject loud and clear by using personification, alliteration and analogy. “The eye was placed where one ray shall fall, that it might testify ray shall fall, that it might testify of that particular ray. Bravely let him speak the utmost syllable of his confession” (Emerson). Emerson uses personification, giving “the eye” the ability to talk and confess such as a human would.

In Beowulf, the alliteration captures the sounds of battle which emphasizes the fierce nature of the conflict. During Grendel and Beowulf’s battle, the letter b in the phrase “...bodies beating at its beautiful walls…” imitates the booming sounds of war (line 295). The use of alliteration enhances the intensity of this scene by making the fight more ferocious and tense. Furthermore, in lines 403 through 405, the repetition of the letter s during Grendel’s mother’s invasion at Herot mimics the sound of swords clashing during war. This emphasizes Grendel’s mother’s strength; warriors can continually slash at her, but they will have no effect on the powerful beast.
In Virginia Woolf’s “Street Haunting”, the reader follows Woolf through a winter’s walk through London under the false pretense to buy a new pencil. During her journey through the streets of London, she is made aware of a number of strangers. The nature of her walk is altered by these strangers she encounters. Street Haunting comes to profound conclusions about the fluidity of individuality when interacting with other people. Woolf is enabled by the presence of others to subvert her individuality.
