Assignment # 11

For my essay the rhetorical modes i am going to use are Description, Narration, and Exemplification.


Description: i am going to provide many visual details which help the reader understand the lost feeling i am talking about in my essay.
Narration: I am going to use narration with Description together so my story is more descriptive and goes in much detail, I feel like these two modes will be the best for me and how i write and it will help me explain the lost feeling throughout my essay.
Exemplification: i am going to use example all throughout my essay to explain my points and feeling s to the reader. Examples help me expand my thoughts when i write and it makes the essay more interesting to read then boring because you can get the main concepts by paying attention to the examples.

Assignment # 10

What does it mean to lose someone?

When i think of loosing i just think of my Grandparents because they are no longer with us because we lost them due to their deaths. Personally i am not  a big fan of the word lost, because its negative in every way its used. Lose someone can be best defined as just someone who was there who was very significant to you and is not there anymore for example deaths, relationships.

Assignment # 9

.5.        “You were the wind and I the sea.” (From “After Love” by Sara Teasdale

I choose this metaphor because the author is comparing the sea and wind to describe the relationship between men and women, one can not be one without the other. Without no wind there is no wave in the sea. Without Waves the sea is just a lifeless body of water. His hidden message in this quote is clearly talking about teamwork and how people cooperate. He might also be talking about his past relation ship because how deeply he was affected by it and is trying to say how good they were together.

 The tedious hour and a half drive adds to the exquisiteness that the Red Rock Canyon State Park delivers as the drive there sets one up to expect something mundane, but from a turn of a corner one is struck with a breath-taking view of cultivated beauty.

Assignment # 6- profile: Eliza Grace, The Mohave, and Me

I read the profile essay" Eliza Grace, The Mohave, and Me"  by Guy Martin. This essay is a describing death valley and how it feels in a lot of details by the author. Guy martin gives many vivid details throughout the entire essay. The author uses this technique very well and goes in very specific detail which makes the reader feel like he is there with him. He also gives very good information and goes in depth. For example when he is talking about snakes , he even talks bout in depth how poisonous they are and also gives a good comparison of them. This essay was very interesting and the author had me hooked throughout the whole essay. His vivid details made the essay  easy for me to understand. I think i am going to use a lot of vivid images in my next essay because it makes it easier for the reader to know what i am going to be talking about.
