The Effects of Writing Devices
In Chelsea Crow's comparison essay she describes how the writing devices are used to improve the quality of stories. Crow uses "Good Country People" and "A Rose for Emily" to explain the effects of symbolism, point of view, and theme. This comparison essay relates to everyone because everyone reads, watches, and listens to stories, but more specifically it applies to people who read these books. The arrangement of this essay was very effective by using point by point format to discuss the examples of each writing device for both books. Crow had very detailed context and did an excellent job of using quotes from various text to support her ideas. She also included multiple examples for each device in both books to stress the important role these devices play in improving the story. I felt like I understood the basic story line of both books because Crow did such a great job with the descriptions of these different writing devices. She also gave enough background information of each story to where people who have not read the book would be able to understand her points. Overall, this was a very well written comparison essay and it made me realize how much thought and effort goes into creating a good story.
