    Stephen King: On Writing Stephen King is a man of many talents and personalities; not only is he able to scare his readers immensely‚ he is also able to make them laugh. I chose a passage from Stephen King’s On Writing for this assignment; the passage stuck in my mind for a long time after I finished the book.

    continues to highlight the positive aspects of the athlete’s early death. As the “shady night” or death has shut the athlete’s eyes‚ he will not be there to see his records be broken and feel the disappointment of his defeat. The speaker’s use of the oxymoron “silence sounds” helps to emphasize the idea that since the athlete has passed the silence will not bother him‚ but if he had lived the loss of praise due to defeat would have crushed his spirits and seemed much more

    In her morbid poem ’Havisham’‚ Carol Ann Duffy redefines one of Charles Dickens’ most memorable characters‚ Miss Havisham. Jilted at the alter by her one true love‚ Dickens portrayed Havisham as an old spinster‚ her life wasted away trying to gain revenge on all men. Through her dramatic monologue ’Havisham’‚ Duffy gives the disturbed old woman a voice to express her feelings about her wasted life. One of the themes that I found fascinating in this poem was the idea that a moment of betrayal can

    Although Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and Austen’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’ are two completely different texts‚ as one is a play- only able to use dialogue to portray feelings of love-and the other is a novel- where descriptions of characters moods and feelings can be used- they both demonstrate a variety of techniques to portray strong feelings of love. Right from the beginning Shakespeare introduces the ideas of strong love using a prologue-this prologue is a sonnet in iambic pentameter. From

    because I hate the government. I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of the government. I do not carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me. "Police Protection" is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves. Police do not protect you from crime; they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
