Plath makes this clear through her use of diction‚ imagery and figurative language throughout the stanza. “I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions” (1).

Tolstoy has never been concerned with rules. Whether it is with the structure of the novel‚ revered thought on established topics‚ or even his own past writing‚ Tolstoy disregards all of them in pursuit of his elusive hero. This constant‚ intense search for truth fills Tolstoy’s works with the uncanny lifelike quality that has immortalized him. But it can also fill them with contradictions and frustratingly radical conclusions. Tolstoy’s attitude towards his female characters is a prime example of

Learning to See as a Photographer It is not at all uncommon to hear photographers talk about “seeing” a photograph. This can be somewhat confusing to those who are on the outside looking in and are not familiar with the concept. Sure‚ we physically use our eyes to see an object or a person or a landscape but that’s not exactly what we’re talking about here.
