When reading over these Whitman journal entries,  I have to be honest I can't make sense of any of the writing present, but can still draw some interesting conclusions about these entries. A basic observation that I was able to make is that often times Whitman scribbled out whole sentence and wrote above the scribble or beside it. This shows that Whitman's thoughts were all over the place constantly rewriting his entries. This can also point to he wrote whatever was on his mind without much comprehension of what he was writing or the structure in which he was writing it. Another technique I noticed that Whitman used was when referencing religion he choose to keep this writing towards the sides or in the margins of the page. This could symbolize the belief that Whitman recognizes these religious influences and details but choose not to incorporate these thoughts in his entries. This can be seen through his perspective of religion. Walt Whitman is a skeptic of all religions; alth...

Planner: Annotation: The voice memo wouldn't load im sorry I tried all night. I emailed it with you Grading: A: 7 I would give a seven because I feel like I provided a good overview of the plot and showed good comprehension of the plot and characters. The reason I wouldn't give myself a higher score is because I got off track at times and didn't provide enough references to the text. B: 7 I believe that I highlight the major literary elements in the text but not all of them. I feel like the three I choose were present but there were more deeper in the analysis that I might have missed. C: 3 I felt as if my organizational planner was effective but I seemed to get side tracked and slot track of time at the end by going over. D: 4 I felt like I picked up on Ishiguros meaning of his language and provided the appropriate terminology and tone. I made good links back to the theme but I could have in cooperated more terminology

T he Ted Talk I chose to watch was "Wisdom of great writers from every year of life"  Joshua discusses experts from books about the author's age.  To begin,  Joshua uses Pathos to convey his message of positivist and encouragement and how this may not have been written specifically for him, but how it can apply to all of those who read.  He then goes onto reading many more experts, from different authors, about age and their life at that point in time.  He examines how time moves almost slower, as we now live longer with modern medicine, and have more time to experience the wonders of life.  The emphasis of quotes from an older age, saying how their time is up or they have lived their life, shows that age is just a number.  No matter how old or how young you think you are, you still have your life ahead of you and there is nothing that can put a limit on what you can achieve.  Joshua uses pathos as a main point of conversation, h...

Translation 1: In the first translation, the author uses a unique syntax by using mild tone words such as "changed into a bug" and "woke up uneasy" possess a lackadaisical mood in the writing. The author uses imagery to create the picture of the character in the novel waking up, in a groggy state, may be due to a lack of sleep or nightmares which is relatable to most audiences. The structure is very simplistic in reference to word choice and punctuation. Translation 2: The author of the second translation decided to use a demanding tone to catch the attention of the reader from the very beginning of the book. By using phrases such as "troubled dreams" and "transformed in his bed" creates a mood of uneasy and tense among the reader. Also through these phrases, the author was able to use imagery to show the element of surprise when the character wakes up still in his bed, after being transformed into a bug. I think the author had an interesting s...

The question I chose to analyze was, "To what extent would Shakespeare agree with this statement? Power corrupts power, and absolute power corrupts absolutely - Lord Action". In my personal opinion I would presume that Shakespeare would agree with this statement to a great extent due to exemplifying curruption of power through Lady MacBeth and Macbeth, as well as an example of power corruption I have anaylsised.  In the play MacBeth, Shakespeare is very critical of his writing. He wants his plays and writing to exhibit his social and political beliefs, but must mascarray these beliefs via the form of a play. Power corruption is a prevlient through his protyal of The MacBeths ambition to take King Duncan's crown. Once the prophecy that Macbeth will soon be the King of Scotland is foretold to MacBeth, we see an evilness come upon they MacBeths as they begin to scheme against the King to murder him in his sleep, which is considered to be savagery, due to the victim not bein...
