ENGL 252 Kizzier

Writer’s Response 1

What kind of intro are you using? Why?

I guess I would say that I am using a thought-provoking idea, statement.




What do you like best about your paper right now? Why?

I like my choice of form. I chose to write my paper in letter form. One of Chekov’s characters, Iona, speaks to Roderick Usher empathizing with his “plight.” I draw interesting and vivid comparisons between both of their lives in order to illuminate Poe’s choice of mood and setting. The darkness that hangs over the house also hangs in Iona’s heart and that made for a dimensional parallel. I was surprised with how easily the paper took form. I am hopeful that what needs to be conveyed comes through; my one concern is that maybe points might be ambiguous. Tried to convey, or mimic, Poe’s style…but may not be specific enough.








What would you work on if you had more time? Why? Try and be specific and please, no comments about grammar.

I am concerned that I have read both pieces closely enough. As stated before, I am hoping that the paper’s points along with my assessment of Poe’s style, comes through. Paper is “packed” emotionally; that may or not be a good thing. I am very happy with the prose. Not in clear essay form.
