    The Rambunctious Garden Summary

    In chapter one of “The Rambunctious Garden”, Emma Marris presents us with a different way of viewing nature. Instead of seeing nature as a place “untouched by humanity’s great grubby hands," Marris wants us to value nature in places such as the “highway median” or the “old field overgrown with weeds”. She argues that the goal of returning nature to its prehuman state is incredibly expensive and nearly impossible. Marris explained that, “Many conservationists are opening up their definitions of nature and embracing a whole suite of possible goals beyond the familiar pristine wilderness goal.” One specific example she offers to support her argument involves an experiment being conducted in Hawaii.…

    A seat in the Garden

    I’m not the Indian you had in mind; a video that was written and directed by Thomas King challenges the stereotypical image that America has towards Native Americans. King is also the author of a short novel “A seat in the Garden”. This short story also challenges the established perspective that American society has towards the Native Americans. There are various stereotypes and perspectives that a majority of the public has toward a particular group. For example some of the common stereo types that are seen throughout the media are that all Asians are good at math, women are primarily sex objects, All Africans like fried chicken, and all Mexicans are gangsters. These stereo types are not completely true for an entire group, yet they can be for a part of it. There is living and walking proof of many of the minority groups subverting the dominant view.…

    When writing, you should use parallelism to balance out your sentences, making them flow smoothly for the readers. (Bethel, 2017) The entire written work should be done in the same verb tenses. A good way to grasp the reader's attention is to use specific words, not just general terminology. Active verb usage is another way to give energy to your writing. It is always important to be direct; wordy sentences…

    The Parsley Garden

This is the case in the short story The Parsley Garden written by William Saroyan.

He then is offered money to pay for the hammer he was originally trying to steal. At last he felt he needed to take matters into his own hand and work for the hammer. Al discovers that there are many ways to find revenge, but very few leave a person truly satisfied.…

    the garden party

    the modern short story form with her innovative literary style. In such influential stories as "The Garden Party," "Bliss," and "Prelude," Mansfield perfected her meticulous craft, examining the human condition in restrained and deceptively everyday prose. Her avowed intention was to intensify "the so-called small things so that everything is significant." In "The Garden Party," for example, the description of sunbeams playing on an inkwell is the kind of detailed observation that lends an almost hallucinatory visual acuity to this celebrated tale. In her attention to the "the so-called small things," Mansfield was in the forefront of those writers who treated ordinary life rather than momentous events, and, according to H. E. Bates, many followed her "in squeezing the significance out of the apparently commonplace, trivial behavior of their fellow men." Working on the fringes of British Modernism, Mansfield developed the use of stream-of-consciousness technique, earning the admiration—and rivalry—of a contemporary, Virginia Woolf. Like Woolf, Mansfield emphasized the importance of incident over conventional narrative, and thus, in "The Garden Party" Laura's impressions dictate the shape of a story drawn from Mansfield's own childhood memories.…
