In both "The Yellow Wallpaper" and "Uncle Rock", we have a first-person point-of-view. This means the narrator is one of the characters and tells us what is happening as the story unfolds. It limits us, though, because we only get the story from that one person’s perspective. In "The Yellow Wallpaper", we learn about what is happening and get details of the room by an unreliable narrator. In "Uncle Rock", we only know what happens through the eyes of Erick. In your opinion, does this add or detract from the story? In "Uncle Rock", does this influence how we interpret Erick’s mother’s motives? What elements of the story would be different if the narration would be in second or third person? What do you think the author was trying to accomplish for each of these stories by choosing first-person limited narration?

subject: why anyone can be a genius.

occasion: moving forward in life.

audience: average person

purpose: to push you further in life

speaker: many famous geniuses.

here is the poem:

here is thy, and here is thee, genius is for what he can be.

poem is a matter of rhyme, but like ben frank said, life is a matter of time.

we have great inventors such as thomas edison, who said, "genius is one percent inspiration and 99% perspiration." no, no perspiration as what comes from your skeleton.

we have great minds, from places of all kinds, such as yu kaw la chi tie, (now im switching languages because yu kaw was japanese.)

てちハラスイヒイス, てちラスイヒイス

てちのちみスイヒイス.

you are a genius, well not yet, but you are capable, and that is a bet.

whatever is after like is what is being compared they are comparing bumping into you like they are scared to catch germs you have and to you being contagious

figurative language is a resource that fiction writers use to make better descriptions of what they want to write about or express. they can improve their stories, as they can elaborate more vivid and colorful sentences. this way, the reader will be able to have more detailed images in his/her mind.

places, objects, people and even feelings or emotions can be described with a lot of detail to metaphors, similes and personifications. making different kinds of comparisons to make a description more specific, as well as assigning human qualities to non-human objects (and vice-versa) can be very useful for science fiction writers.  

on the other hand, alliterations allow writers to elaborate more entertaining and creative sentences. it consists in using a sequence of words that start with the same consonant letter. they can be used to emphasize something important the writer wants to express, or just as a fun literary device.

what kind of verbs are used in this paragraph? amanda,

i just want to let you know that my children are just amazing. i am just so proud of them and for how far they have come. they are the best thing that i have ever done in my life. they are successful and have accomplished a lot in their lives. i know for sure that they are my greatest success in my life.

sincerely yours,
