Analysis Of Hillary Windsor's Essay 'Alouette Anniversary'
An essay ‘Alouette Anniversary’ (Moran, Henderson, 2017) written by Hillary Windsor can be easily called a professional one, however there are some parts that might be improved, including thesis statement, introduction and conclusion.
The author does not use effective thesis statement in her essay. Even though she writes about the Alouette-I satellite launch, she does not include the main points. By writing about her main ideas in the introduction, Hillary Windsor would make readers understand what specifically the essay will be about. What is more, it would be better if the writer wrote more expanded introduction to provide more background information about the Alouette-I as a great number of readers might not know that it is the first Canadian

Setting, conflict, and dialogue are three points of high congruency.…

    Although I am not very familiar with poetic readings and readings from our Literature book, I did enjoy and was able to comprehend the book Daphnis and Chloe by Longus because it was fairly easy wording and I am somewhat familiar and interested in Greek mythology.

It was tied to The Princess Bride movie. I remember watching this movie over and over again and now I can see why I loved reading this novel in class and being able to understand its context. This essay will evaluate the movie The Princess Bride and the novel Daphnis and Chloe. I believe both of these stories’ timelines…

Second, when she wanted arsenic in page 286, "I want arsenic." Thirdly, how she never leaves her house in page 288.

We can infer that the narrators are just telling the story out of their observation from a first person plural point of view. The narrator is however very…

Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” is a complex and dark story that keeps readers guessing and intrigued by Faulkner’s abundant use of literally elements. Faulkner’s use of symbolism in the story is used to enhance the plot and create meaning.
