    back in time I found the poem “ This Moment” by Eavan Boland a complicated poem when I read it for the first time. I started to question myself once I finish reading it‚ what does this poem wants to tell us? The sentence was very short and each stanza doesn’t seem to be very related to each other. However‚ once I read it for the 2nd and 3rd time‚ I came to realize that the speaker wants to describe about a specific moment in her life. Starting from the daily life and activities she did to the love

    Primo Levi’s book ’If This Is a Man’ is a novel about a German concentration camp‚ one among many novels on the same subject.

Nevertheless‚ distant tone and unemotional language bring the horrifying message across with even greater impact on readers

    what exactly separates a short story from longer fictional formats is problematic. A classic definition of a short story is that one should be able to read it in one sitting‚ a point most notably made in Edgar Allan Poe’s essay "Thomas Le Moineau (Le Moile)" (1846). Interpreting this standard nowadays is problematic‚ since the expected length of "one sitting" may now be briefer than it was in Poe’s era. Other definitions place the maximum word count of the short story at anywhere from 1‚000 to 9‚000
