I used to mix “plot” up with “setting” since the Chinese translation of these two words are the same. But now I finally understand clearly the difference between these two! Plot is what happens and setting is the time and location in the story.

I can related so much to “a pair of tickets” since I’m also Chinese! Reading the Chinese scenes described by Amy Tan makes me miss home!

The ending of “the necklace” makes people sigh. While sympathizing with the protagonist, such an ending seems to be expected! I guess Vanity is a sharp knife that can hurt ourselves.

Freytag’s pyramid is a great way to learn the five parts of plot and it clearly shows what each part is for. I’ll definitely use this method to help me understand better my future readings

Finishing this intense course is a relief, I’ve gained so much new knowledge and I really want to go on the luxury cruise that Wallace mentioned in “shipping out”, wonder what I would do on there. #ECL220

Wallace's speech was very intelligent, I enjoyed the way he indicated that we are all the center of the universe to ourselves #ECL220

I’m very interested in visual poems and this is my favorite one! #ECL220

[Xinyi Zhang @Natalieee9999]

The interesting shapes that writers designed in visual poetry are so eye-catching and aesthetic. #ECL220

I love comics but never paid attention on how these details can effect readers, It’s interesting to analyze how the elements in comics books indicate main theme or appeal to emotion. I’m glad I get to know these. #ECL220

[Xinyi Zhang @Natalieee9999]

“Maus” has made my mind changed, I grew up in China with the stereotype that “comics are ignorant”, comic books are banned in school. However, they just don’t realize that how comics books can nail at telling narrative. I love how there are so many forms in literature. #ECL220

Norton mentioned that Robert Frost thinks free verse is pointless. I certainly do not agree with him. Without rhyme or regular meter, there's more creative breakthrough without any restrictions on choice of words for rhyming. #ECL220

#ECL220 Although understanding poems in second language and determining the techniques that the poets used took me forever. It’s still interesting and amusing to reading these poems. ‘Sex without love’ by Sharon Old, is a great example of how polysemy and ambiguity works in poem
