5. Reading Process While I was reading the chapter their were times I wondered what I was reading since it would flash back an forth. In the novel since we are barley getting to know the character I was very confused of who was who in the novel. Also another issue that I had while reading the novel was that all the parts were in English so I had to translate what the characters had to say.
Chapter 1 and 2 1. At this point of the novel, I feel a little curious as to where the story is going to go. I must say, I am a little confused on how the animals are planning on going though with their plans. 2. I can think of ways I have felt like these animals do in the story.
Chris McCandless was in his early 20’s, he was the kind of that guy that wanted to learn and experience life without all of the material things. He wanted to be independent from his parents and friends so Chris did something that would be insane for most of us humans but to him, it wasn’t. He went into the wild of Alaska for months, in fact, McCandless even thought he could make it out alive at the end of his journey. As a matter of fact, he was known as being a risk taker and enjoyed being out and about in the nature side of the world. Many would believe that Chris McCandless went into the wild to purposely kill himself; however, I myself believe that McCandless did not do it purposely.
One example that demonstrates point of view is “Shortly after we moved in, Mom, Lori, and I measured one another and tried to make our own dresses.” (153). The girls are
“True!- nervous-very,very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?” (par. 1) First person point of view is unique, because it shows the reader every thought of the main character. Other points of view convey the thoughts
Longtown, Ohio is one of the only places where races didn’t matter two centuries ago. Interracial marriages were happening here without argument or trouble. This system of liberty and freedom of the races was founded by a freed slave from Virginia named James Clemens, who later became a rich farmer, but this system is close to being abolished because of the decrease of the original Longtown population. Their places are being taken by whites and they are also purchasing their property. This will eventually move out the people of Longtown and be a city of whites.
The aforementioned perspectives are explored through the limited omniscient third person narrator, who narrates in a factual tone and provides the lens from which events are viewed. Although the narrator is omniscient in the traditional sense, as he or she has access to the thoughts of all characters, the narrator is limited in that he or she solely follows Anton’s journey. Consequently, the events that transpired previous to and following the assault remain ambiguous and fluctuate as new information is introduced by supporting characters. Within the exposition, The Assault features Anton’s perspective on the events leading up to the incident.
It’s difficult to understand others if you don’t know what they go through every day. In “Boy at the Window” the author, Richard Wilbur, uses point of view and connotation to develop his poem. Wilbur uses point of view to show the differences between the snowman’s and the boy’s thought processes, and he uses connotation to make an impact on the readers. The different point of views in the poem are crucial. The speaker uses the point of view of the boy in the first stanza, and the point of view of the snowman in the second stanza.
I really enjoyed the story and even more so the way people talked and what was sociably acceptable in the time of the story. I disliked the amount of time it took to complete a chapter and this was a struggle for me to want to put that time for annotating instead of something else. I enjoyed most the feeling of accomplishment on completing the entire set of four books, and looking back over my annotations it looked much nicer than what I had so that also felt accomplishing. The most frustrating part of the assignment was finishing one book and knowing you still had more to do, especially because I did not time organize in my favor. My standards, I feel, are low and probably why I also feel like there is more I need to do, the problem is that the feeling of incompleteness is not driving me to work on it more.
Governor Flaubus had the National Guard go to a school in Arkansas so blacks could not go to The Little Rock High School. In 1957 the Governor of Arkansas didn’t want to integrate a school so the president had to take action. Some people wanted segregation because of customs. The Little Rock High School of 1957 should have integrated their schools.
In the analysis of “Geraldine Moore the Poet” by Toni Cade Bambara the reader can see how the three aspects tie into the theme. The point of view of a story in the angle in which it is written. It shows the reader the opinions or feelings of an individual. First person, second person, and third person are the three major kinds of point of view in which a story can be told. Third person can sometimes break off into third person omniscient or limited.
Stories are all told from different perspectives and told from several points of view. In some stories, the story is not told by any of the characters, but rather from an omniscient viewpoint. In literature, choosing a point of view is one of the most important pieces in telling a story. It is through the point of view that the readers experience a story. In Jack London’s short story, “To Build a Fire,” he utilizes an omniscient point of view in order to add to the impact of his story.
We communicate in many ways, either by email, telephone, text, face to face, social media or letters and the language we use allows us to get things done, nonetheless the language and communication method in which we chose to use can vary depending on the discourse community. Much like John Swales suggests a discourse community involves a group of people who share the same common public goals, such as shared interests, rules, structure, and vocabulary. When thinking about the several discourse communities I am evolved in, which include family, coaching football, college student, and a few friends. These discourse communities have influenced me, given me insight of where I come from and tell who I am as a person. I also believe much like Swales,
Point of view is the way the narrator portrays the angles. An example of point of view is when Jig and the American are having drinks she says, "'They don't really look like white elephants. I just meant the coloring of their skin through the trees'" (221). The author shows us that he sees a deeper meaning than mountains and shows hints that the mountains are symbols. Another example of point of view would be when the author doesn't tell the readers the deep thoughts of the American and Jig when the American moves the bags from to the other side of the station and has a drink by himself.
I have chosen topic 3. Compare and contrast Grace and Jo-Anne. In the short story “The Slip-over Sweater” by Jesse Stuart, the main character Shan is also the narrator. That means we see everything through his eyes, including the two most important girls in his life, Grace and Jo-Anne.
