The description of the Younger’s apartment […]

I thought the same, about Cereno’s mental state. I found it ironic how he ended up feeling like how so many slaves must […]

It also happens to shed a negative light on the practice of slavery. Whether it was intended to do so or not, I believe showed how slavery could bring […]

A great example too; the constant in-out from first to third. How he will let other characters talk, but sometimes omnisciently explain to us what they are saying or what they are doing. Also agree […]

It requires a transformation of […]

I noticed that metaphors serve as conversion tools for us. We know not to take them literally, we are then forced to think of them figuratively, and in analyzing the correlations, we come to a new […]

Quote, “When poetry has been […]

It is often […]

Specifically, the “extreme view” that comes from the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, that states what we think is […]

But it really does come off as that way. A poem or a novel is such because it meets the prerequisites that the foregrounded poem or novel has set, without it […]

He informs us that unlike science that has a definitive […]

That’s all quite impressive; you certainly sound determined. I have no doubt you’ll accomplish your goals with that attitude. I’m looking forward to improving my writing with fellow students like yourself.
