What You Pawn I Will Redeem I found Sherman Alexie’s “What You Pawn I Will Redeem” particularly interesting in terms of style and voice. The narrator seems very nonchalant about all of the events that occur in the story.

He can buy the regalia back for a thousand dollars‚ so he sets off to try and make the money. The interesting thing

In my opinion‚ Emily Dickinson as a transcendentalist used her poetry to describe the process of transcendental meditation‚ particularly the meditation of death. In this poem she tries to allow us to expierience our true nature by entering directly into our conscious.

The beginning essay‚ the autobiographical narrative‚ was actually an enjoyable start to the class. It was not an easy essay
