Abstract
This paper discusses the use of trope in ?Once More to the Lake," by E.B. White to pull the reader into the narrator's experience. The author demonstrates the use of personification to help the objects seem more real and alive such as making the lake seem human, simile to give a clear illustration of the wide backend of the boat and polysyndeton to draw out lists of words that need more emphasis by using "and" between each item instead of the usual comma.
From the Paper
"Simile is another way White blends trope into the work. "The small steamboat that had a long rounded stern like the lip of a Ubangi?." (White 383). These two things resemble one another, and so the reader is given a clear picture of the stern of the ship, as long as they understand what the "lip of a Ubangi" is. The use of simile gives a clear illustration of the wide backend of the boat as it sails around the lake."

Abstract
This paper examines the life and works of Elwyn Brooks White, one of America's best-loved children's authors. The paper traces White's life from his birth in New York in 1899, through his schooling and education at Cornell University and his journalism career. Several of White's works are examined, included "Stuart Little" (1945), "Charlotte's Web" (1950) and "The Trumpet of the Swan" (1970).
From the Paper
"I have heavily noticed that all three of E.B. White's heroes began life in a rather defenseless and dismal state. They have been differently depicted as in a mouse perceived as a little boy (Stuart in Stuart Little), a runt of the litter (Wilbur in Charlotte?s Web) and a mute swan (trumpeter swan in The Trumpet of the Swan). They may have all started with huge disabilities, but each character, in each story, marvelously overcame their handicap. In each story there is a tremendous bond between the animals and the people involved with the novel. Instead of a usual adult novel, all of E.B. White?s novels are supported heavily by the characterization of an animal being compared to a human being. When you put the possible feelings or emotions of a human into the feeble, yet uncrushable qualities of being an animal you have very interesting stories. ?Advice to young writers who want to get ahead without any annoying delays: don't write about Man, write about 'a' man.?(White, p. 22)"

"Once More to the Lake?.
This paper discusses E. B. White's essay, "Once More to the Lake", a spiritual writing which appears reflective of traditional Christianity and yet ends not with the promise of resurrection but rather an existential assurance.

Abstract
This paper explains that, for E. B. White in "Once More to the Lake", it is plain that the lake, its coves, streams and paths constitute "this holy spot". The author points out that, for the entire essay, White has built steadily the idea that this adventure is an opportunity for communion with nature, man and god. The paper concludes that, at the end, White realizes he is not his father or his son but that he is himself, which truncates the possibility of resurrection; it casts the richly woven tone poem into the void without another word.
From the Paper
"Nominally, the essay concerns White's return to a lakeside camp where he spent boyhood summers, this time bringing along his own son for the first time. The Christian liturgy of the piece begins early: it is possible to view White and his son as priest and acolyte, especially as no other current family members are mentioned in the piece. All references to family are to White's birth family, not his son's siblings if any or mother. By this device, too, White places the piece in the realm of gospel, of a writing about magical things that are past, but somehow are to live on through some sort of mystical revisiting, not unlike the mystical revisiting in the Roman Catholic/Episcopal Eucharist of the passion of Christ."

From the Paper
"E.B. White?s 1941 essay ?Once More to the Lake? is White?s account of a trip to the lake he visited as a child. On this occasion White returns to the lake with his son. The essay is a simple account of an important moment in his life, where he realizes that his son is growing and this means that he himself is dying. It is the point in his life where he realizes that time and change are constant and inescapable. The realization is heartfelt and yet expressed only mildly. The effectiveness of the essay lies in the fact that the point is not made directly, but left for the reader to sense."

E. E. Cummings' "Advice", 2007.
An analysis of the persuasive technique of E. E. Cummings' "A Poet's Advice to Students".

Abstract
This paper discusses how E. E. Cummings, in his essay "A Poet's Advice to Students", advises that the best way to write poetry is to be a poet, and how his most persuasive explanation of what it is to be a poet is his explanation itself. The paper looks at how the perpetual enactment of Cummings' own demonstration of 'pistis' utilizes complex rhetorical strategies, which are artfully veiled by simple words and appealing rhythm to make his 'feeling' accessible to the reader. The paper asserts that, while Cummings' words are characteristically his own, their seeming simplicity echoes Aristotle's observation that the most persuasive art is the appearance of artlessness.
From the Paper
"The title functions to both introduce the ethos, or character, of the speaker and establish the kairos, or occasion, of the text's reception. Ethos refers specifically to the character of the speaker as presented in the text, intended to establish the trustworthiness of the argument's presenter. Here, the title positions the speaker as a 'poet', who is therefore qualified to offer the instruction to follow. By prefacing the text as the 'advice' of an established poet to 'students', the title also serves to construct its own kairos by positioning the reader as one who may be educated by that which is explained. Thus, the title itself performs the rhetorical function of establishing the speaker's trustworthiness while simultaneously engendering receptiveness in the reader. "

E.E. Cummings, 2002.
Examines the opinions of poet E.E. Cummings on technology and man's alienation from nature.

Abstract
Poet E.E. Cummings considered any force that threatened what is natural and instinctive to be an antagonist of life, an adversary that men must confront before they completely lost their ability to feel and respond as individuals. The paper shows that Cummings thought mankind obsessed with technological advances and flashy advertisements promising the American ideal that he renounced the natural condition by developing needs for unnecessary things. The paper examines Cummings' contempt for man's alienation from his true self in the poems "pity this busy monster, manunkind," and "when serpents bargain for the right to squirm," which scorn what organized society has proudly developed.
From the Paper
"Cummings further expressed his fear of the degradation of man's natural state three years later when he wrote "when serpents bargain for the right to squirm," an Elizabethan sonnet that satirizes society's blind adherence to decorum and regulation. Here, Cummings demotes man from being a monster, a word that at least implies animalistic qualities, to being an unnatural unanimal. When such legalese as bargaining, striking, and signing on the dotted line is applied to creatures and events of nature, the effects are preposterous, and yet society accepts such irreverent behavior in man, once a natural creature. Despite the child-like language and nonsense comparisons in the poem that add a touch of innocence to the poem, Cummings? message is clear: nature is being ?separated from its most essential qualities?, left to exist ?simultaneously with his horror of a society seriously awry? (Marks 60)."

Abstract
This document discusses the underlying principles of e-commerce and e-business.

Additionally, the paper utilizes three radically different businesses to illustrate how e-business and e-commerce has elevated business performance measures: Office Depot, Ford Motor Company, and Amazon.com.
From the Paper
"Corporations the world over have utilized e-business or some aspect of electronic commerce (e-commerce) to either act as their sole business model or to enhance the productive performance in some way of their existing traditional business models. E-commerce might be considered as a type of business transaction where the parties to the transaction conduct their commerce electronically where electronically has come to be considered the Internet (Epstein, 2004). Yet, technically speaking e-commerce could just as well be considered to be transacted by phone, fax, or other electronic form of media. Such definitions evade the true essence of electronic commerce, which in practice has become one of those rare cases where changing needs and new technologies have come together to revolutionize the way in which business is conducted over an entirely new medium; commonly termed the Internet."

From the Paper
"The increase of communications and its convenience provides much scope for dataveillance. The monitoring and storing of personal data may breach the privacy rights of individuals. However the combining of surveillance sources such as CCTV, bank records, and location tracking using mobile telephone signals bring surveillance to a new level. By pooling together all information sources, information gathered on an individual is so personal and provides such a three-dimensional picture into one?s life and habits."

Abstract
This paper reviews the life and history of Mark Antony, born Marcus Antonius. The paper discusses how, thanks to the works of famous writers like Plutarch and Shakespeare, Mark Antony has become a legend. The paper further discusses how his actions following Julius Caesar's death in 44 B.C. and his exploits with Queen Cleopatra have made him interesting reading and a source of entertainment for centuries. However, behind the many stories, there was a man who was a brave general, loyal supporter, dedicated Roman and ardent lover.
From the Paper
"While Caesar was fighting in Egypt and Africa to defeat the last of Pompey's forces, Antonius was given the distinction of being made Master of the Horse (fact). His role was to be a politician and administrator in Italy while Caesar was out of the country. Unfortunately for him, Antonius was not good in that role and was removed in 47 B.C. and even banished from Caesar's sight for two years (unrv). Nevertheless, Antonius was able to work his way back into Caesar's circle; in 44 B.C. he was the one to offer the crown to Caesar, a circumstance much celebrated in the first act of Shakespeare's play, Julius Caesar (unrv)."
