In the essays, “Reading to Write” by Stephen King, “The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie, “Learning to Read” Malcolm X, and “Learning to Write” by Frederick Douglas have three things in common. In each essay Reading has contributed towards the authors life leading to benefit from learning to read, allowing them to leave a legacy behind. In each essay the authors has thought their self how unlike Frederick Douglass. For Stephen King, reading has done a lot for him. King stated, “Every book you pick up has its own lesson or lessons, and quite often the bad books have more to teach than the good ones” (221).
As we know, literature is established by the author’s message. By the need of people to express what they intend to speak to the world, the authors create his or her literary products. Literature is considered as effective tools for people to talk to the world. The author includes his message which he or she intends to deliver to reader in his literary work. The talent of the writer makes literature is more important than just a historical or cultural human works.
Moreover, all authors uses allusion to explain and support that education is the key to life itself. Prose states, “Maya Angelou and Harper Lee are not the only authors on the list... The adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Catcher in the Rye, John Steinbeck.” She giving example of famous authors, and the book they have wrote. How, these book are the best novels to read, get a lesson from.
Author’s lives inspire their writing in many ways. An illustrious writer, Edgar Allan Poe, experienced continuous sufferings throughout his life. The heartaches he faced transferred into his writing. Poe’s works are dark and traumatic, such as “The Pit and the Pendulum.” He uses the unthinkable and shapes short stories out of them.
¨Why Literature Matters¨ analysis The strong eye opening speech Dana Gioia gives in an article of the New York Times on the very recent rapid decline of young readers interested in literature is carefully illustrated throughout his seemingless sowing of delicately balanced appeals. Through evidence as well as statistics Dana is flawlessly able to accurately define the issue as well as define the disadvantages as a society lacking in the greater population being involved in literature. Through Danas use of pathos by creating an atmosphere of impending doom through his thoughtfully placed fear invoking foreshadowings, his use of logic prevents the idea of a counter argument by simply stating how much current availability there is in learning
Although Dylan Thomas in “Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night” and Emily Dickinson in “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” both talk about the similar issue of death, they are able to talk about different aspects of it with the same idea using unique poetic writing styles. For instance, Emily Dickinson uses irony in her poem by relating to the serious topic of death with a soft tone, treating it as a journey of life. Also, in “Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night” the speaker gives the reader a tone of urgency and demand, where even with anger and rage towards death everyone will all end with it no matter the situation because that is life. This paper aims to compare two poems with examples that will reveal their similarities and differences within the themes.
Julia Alvarez, in her poem “’Poetry Makes Nothing Happen’?”, writes that poems do play a role in people’s lives. She supports her idea by using relateable examples of how poems might change someone’s life. Her first example is simple, poetry can entertain someone on long drives. This does not only aply to long dirves however, Alvarez uses this to show that poetry does not have to have a big influence on someone’s life, instead it can affect a person in the smallest of ways, such as entertainment. The second example describes poetry comforting someone after the loss of a loved one.
It might be true that Poe had a terrible life, but all of the tragedies that he endured gave his life a purpose. He was able to use them to write magnificent stories and poems. One might even say that his poems are the mirror his own life. Poe uses the tragic experiences of his childhood as a theme in his works, “Annabel Lee” and “The Masque of the Red Death.” Edgar Allan Poe’s poems are not like others, they are mysterious and have life stories applied to them.
When you think of poetry the last thing that pops in your head is this could save lives, but in Rob Baker’s “Jimmy Santiago Baca: Poetry as Lifesaver” he claims that poetry is more tha just a form of writing, it can save lives. Baker used Jimmy Baca’s life to drive his main point in his essay. Jimmys life changed “many times in his life” (893) Baker used these points in his life to display how poetry and writing can change lives. Bacas life had a rough start.
The motivation given to him through his peers and his readers is what really made him breakthrough as a children’s
The important topic of this quote is magnifying the importance of books in our lives and the impact they have on society. Each second new books are opened by many people all around the world, but none of them realize that this might be a point of no return and their worldview will change forever. This topic is relevant in Ray
Viewing “Perhaps the World Ends Here” from a psychological perspective gave me insight in to why Harjo would deliver a poem with such an inspiring moral. Harjo’s life defines the word “effort” and “Perhaps the World Ends Here” is a summarization of her life. Knowing how she achieved her many accomplishments regardless of the mental pressure she must have received due to her social status allows me to have deeper recognition for Harjo and her work. Her work emphasizes
Then when the author changes the tone at the end of the poem in the last stanza to hopeful tone the reader can feel the hope and happiness that a person feels when they are down and they are given kindness.
Contemporary literary prizes are institutions that celebrate literary achievements, shape authors’ positions with respect to the market and the canon, form the worldwide readership. They frequently cause controversies, be it the list of nominees, the names of jury members, or, eventually, the winning authors or books. Among all literary prizes, the Nobel Prize in Literature is, probably, the most famous and controversial, because, “unlike the Booker or the Goncourt, [it] explicitly highlights and rewards the author rather than an individual literary work” (Braun 321). Since the Nobel Committee decided to award authors not only for the last year’s works, but for their writings in a wider period, the figure of the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, became “the guarantor of literature as it is mediated to an international public” (Braun 324). Literary prizes are important parts of literary systems, which can be defined as structures that describe the mode of interaction between authors, readers and markets.
