If I was writing an essay, I would write about the characters language, tone, and personality. I think these are interesting topics to write about because, it can help a reader connect with the story and characters. Sometimes people struggle when writing due to not being able to see themselves in the stories. This also may be why, sometimes, readers have a hard time writing about what they’ve read, because they have a hard time relating with the characters since their personalities might differ. Also, readers might struggle with the language that the author chooses to use for the characters in their stories because they might not be used to the type of language the author is using. The tone of a story is also important because if readers don’t understand the tone of a story then important details can be missed, overlooked, or misunderstood. This is why I would choose to write about the characters language, tone, and personality.

Yasmin, you bring up some really interesting ideas here. There may be people, especially international students for whom the language in “The Lesson” is very difficult and foreign. Similarly, some students may struggle a little with the poetic language we’ll be exploring in poetry and ancient Greek tragedy. What title would you give your essay?
Thank you for your feedback Professor, I think I would title my essay “Connections”
I think writing about the character’s language, tone, and personality is very original. This is something talked about only sometimes so it would be very different than the other essay written about this story. I agree that this will help a reader connect to the story and characters easily. I think if you can relate to something then you should share it because others can also see different points of view and possibly relate to your account. Well put!
Thank you for your feedback.
Analyzing characters’ language, tone, and personality in an essay offers a means for readers to forge a stronger connection with narratives. It provides a bridge between readers and characters, fostering a deeper understanding. Addressing language disparities and decoding tone helps readers avoid overlooking important details. This approach enriches the reader’s experience, making it a compelling and enlightening essay focus. I love that.
Yasmin, this is a great idea. I can’t help wondering how you characterize the tone of that narrative voice. Any examples/quotes from the story?
