Joyce Carol Oates’s writing, coupled with Oates’s morbid appearance and her uncanny resemblance to actress Shelly Duvall from Stephen King’s “The Shining”, might imply that Oates’s past/childhood held proverbial abusive events from family, lover or a stranger. But as one delves deep into the abundant biographies about Oates’s, surprisingly, the grim nature of Oates’s literary prose is not analogous to her past….only fragments of her past/childhood are intertwined in her writing. Then, did Oates’s
A composers’ representation of conflicting perspectives deliberately shape our acceptance of their point of view through deliberate selection and emphasis of dynamic textual elements. Such manipulation is demonstrated in Ted Hughes’ 1998 anthology Birthday Letters through the poems, “Fulbright Scholars” and “Your Paris”; employing the poetic medium to craft a personal response to his contentious relationship with wife, Sylvia Plath. Similarly, Sam Mendes 1999 film American Beauty explores a dysfunctional

I had a one to one communication role play with my two class mates. We had five scenarios and we had to choose one of them to use on our role play. My role was to be a mother who takes her child to the doctors and is quite frustrated because she has not been seen by a doctor for at least three hours. During my one to one communication role play, I think that the strengths were that I spoke loud and had good eye contact which showed the audience what was going on and also what I was doing in the role

author named T.S. Eliot created a dark dystopia poem named “The Hollow Men”. It captivates the prominent levels of literature through intellectual, political concepts, but lack emotional perception. Some authors write literature all the time, but some writing has a different meaning than what is written. For instance, “Shape without form, shade without colour, Paralyzed force, gesture without motion;” This indicates that everything has been altered from natural state into something that has no meaning
