time is an abstract thing, and because of this, people find different ways of measure it. in the essay "the telephone," Anwar F. Accawi uses seasonal events to measure the passing of time. he emphasizes time and event with at use of repetition and imagery, also using long complex sentences to better relate to the reader. Accawi's conversational style allows for a more one to one bases not the traditional informative style. Accawi uses language in a clever way, with the intention to present his view in a different light.

Accawi paints picture for his reader. he uses descriptive language and eloquently describes the place or event. he says, "when i kissed her, it was like kissing a soft suede glove that had been soaked with swear and then left in a dark closet for a season." Accawi's depicts the event with unique wording. his descriptions are unlike most that a reader comes across, he leaves a sour taste with those lines.

mary oliver "building the house"

the human experience is derived from difference experience, from attempts to open the mind to activities not normally found a person's persona and norms. Building the House, by Mary Oliver, opens with a carpenter interrupting his framework, in order, to write a poem. Oliver's excerpt is an extended metaphor, comparing language to constructing a house. in order to further expose her point oliver uses rhetoric devices to capture the readers attention.
Oliver praises the carpenter for his abilities to perfectly build anything , illustrating the irony of his inability to construct a well written poem. "everything he learned, he learned at a careful pace- will not the use of words come easier at last.." the young man is attentive and can easily apply his learning to life and attributes well made things. but the young man is unable to grasp the understanding of a poem and the flow of the words; he is unable to perfect a task, contradicting his nature. oliver, also uses personification, to engage and make poetry and framework concrete. "nor as time has brought obstacles and spread them before me..." because the passage tasks obstruct things and tires to relate them to solid tasks encountered by the reader. using personification the writer can better convey the difficulty of perfection.
the author creates an analogy between the construction of the house and writing an essay.
