story of a 1st grader named Maurice getting run over in a school zone. He describes the driver as "barreling through...and not even slowing down after striking the boy" who "suffered serious head injuries." Milloy's story wins sympathy from the readers.

abide by. Firstly, the reader may initially feel Blanche is completely responsible or at least somewhat to blame, for what becomes of her. She is very deceitful and behaves in this way throughout the play, particularly to Mitch, saying, ‘Stella is my precious little sister’ and continuously attempting to deceive Stanley, saying she ‘received a telegram from an old admirer of mine’. These are just two examples of Blanches’ trickery and lying ways. In some ways though, the reader will sense that Blanche

While these devices on their own just provide a more complex method of painting the situation, the way they are assembled in the passage

The pressure in “The Tall Woman and Her Short Husband” and the “The Gold-Legged Frog” are created by a confrontation between two or more people.

Frost uses a lot of imagery in “Home Burial” to give the reader a look at what is going on. The first line, “He saw her from the bottom of the stairs / Before she saw him,” lets the reader know Amy is at the top of the stairs, and her husband is at the bottom. He uses imagery to show many things such as facial

The author describes the boys position using: “They were on the lip of a cirque”. The use of personification makes the reader identify that the island is more like a person and not an evil thing.
