Cat In The Rain
Cat In The Rain
Dear Dr. Nevil, From the literary analysis I wrote, I want my readers to be able to read and understand the special relationship of the husband and wife in Ernest Hemmingway’s “Cat in the Rain.” Some critics believed that the cat representing the American wife’s desire for a child. From the first time we read Hemingway’s short story, I immediately jumped to conclusions such as the couple did not really like each other or maybe they just had a barrier in the relationship. I discovered from other critics online and through other members of the class, that I was not the only one who thought so. It was not very difficult to write the second paragraph of this paper. Many parts of the story and pieces from the articles had lots to say about the American wife and her barrier from her husband. The paragraph about George was more difficult for me because for most of the story, he remained in the room reading throughout the story. By writing an annotation and a literary analysis over the same Hemingway story helped me to see the differences between them and how to critically analyze literature. I did struggle with quoting and referencing the articles that I drew information from, but I felt like I did my best on the writing portion of the paper. I didn’t learn much quite as much in my Comp 1 class, but I have been able to take and learn a lot from this class. Literature and writing essays has never been my strong area, but I have been able to appreciate learning what we have so far!
Sincerely,

John Doe

    In addition to the influence of the children’s perspective on the reader’s interpretation of the adults’ roles in the novel, the reader also makes inferences and conclusions about the adults based on their actions.

You may choose to analyze only one character and his or her failures, or write a comparative analysis of several characters, but in any case, build an essay in which you posit reasons for the failures of adults to protect children and to offer hope to the next…

    In this essay “How to Read Like a Writer” Mike Bunn, claims that college students should distinguish choices the writer made and decide whether they want to implement them in their writing; enhancing their level of writing. Bunn explains that reading like a writer is a strategy that questions, analyses and criticizes a text to make readers look at the structure, the style, the word choice in regards to several factors like: the purpose, the audience, and the genre.

    The Painted Door Essay

    For my essay analysis, I choose to do “The Painted Door” by Sinclair Ross because it’s a good story that shows just what you're not supposed to do to your partner in life. Throughout this breakdown of “The Painted Door,” I’m going to focus on four key literary styles. The styles are as follows: Character Development, Pace, Word Choice and lastly the tone. I will be discussing the literary styles in the order above because in that order I think it offers the best way to understand the story that Sinclair Ross wrote. Keep in mind this story takes place on a farmland between a married farmers couple and a neighboring farmer. So there aren't many people around for anybody to really want to socialize with because of how far away each farmer’s from each other. The main character I’m going to focus on throughout this essay is Ann and what she’s put through while describing what literary styles are fitted best…

    Ernest Hemingway’s writing choices are famously in favor of clear and concise language, sharply contrasting those of William Faulkner, an author who is known to use many fluid descriptions, metaphors, and similes in order to emphasize certain ideas. Although both Faulkner and Hemingway choose to describe more than just what is plainly written, they differ immensely in presentation. Faulkner adheres strictly to his own tradition of using powerful language to give his stories a strong tone, as if spoken by a descriptive storyteller. Hemingway on the other hand describes his stories impartially, avoiding bias towards one character or another, and instead telling things the way they are (or rather, the way he creates them to be). Hemingway’s tone, style, and diction in “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” is presented in a plain and unbiased fashion that allows its reader to capture exactly what Hemingway intends to say.…
