In her essay, The Stunt Pilot, Annie Dillard uses the art of language to convey her appreciation for another art form: the motion of flight. When retelling her time up in the air with stunt pilot Dave Rahm, Dillard purposefully starts off with a plain description of Rahm with vague details as to remind her audience how the man himself was not important, but it was what he did that was beautiful. Dillard then juxtaposes her impressions of being in the air by mentioning how the plane’s “shaking swooping belly seemed to graze the snow” (Dillard 91). Not only does this particular sentence express the emotions felt during the unforgettable flight, its subtle use of imagery also allows readers to envision being high up in the air, yet seemingly

Lee writes from Scout’s perspective, “ Our
Calpurnia is also a good mother figure for the children, because she can provide them with more culture and knowledge that they can use when they get older. When Scout, Jem, and Calpurnia went to church with Calpurnia, they learned valuable information about a community different than their own. Calpurnia was also very smart when there was a rabid dog. Because it was in the wrong season no one thought that it was true, but Calpurnia did and her never giving up saved people's lives. Lastly, Calpurnia teaches Scout and Jem that even though you know something does not mean you have to show it off all of the time and intimidate people.

In the book “Jump Cut” by Ted Staunton, from chapters 12 to 18, a lot of information is released about the characters and along with the information, concepts and people that likely foreshadows events later in the plot.
