Synthesis Of Music

5. What would you say the climax of this story is? Why do you think so? What effect does this climax have? Why do you think the author wanted to create this effect? I think the most intense part of the story is when the Aunt and Clark are listening to the music. The writer puts in detail on how the music is being played making you anticipate for something. Than Clark asked her a question which is meant to be funny, but instead she replies with, "And you have been hearing this ever since you left me, Clark?" Her question was the gentlest and saddest of reproaches."

    Why do people seek that thrill, that chill down their spine that sends tingles tearing through their bodies to tips of their fingertips? Perhaps no one can answer that question for sure, but no writer doubts that a well-crafted thrilling story keeps the reader turning page after page. Truman Capote, author of the fantastically fearful short story named “Miriam,” writes with an intriguing tone, and paints his tale in the shadowy grey mood of suspense in order to keep his readers shivering in their seats. “Miriam” does not have a particular moral or a lesson to be learned, but it is, simply put, a short story designed to excite the emotions and to thrill the mind of the reader. Using subtle hints and dramatic descriptions, Mr. Capote creates…

    I felt as if the author or the narrator of this story only implied things that were seen along with the dialogue instead of describing what the characters felt. I had to use my own imagination to draw a conclusion on how the characters really felt. An example of this was the both characters describe the setting of the atmosphere. The nameless American man in the story puts a lot of emphasis on heat and oppression, while the young lady puts more emphasis on the lines in the hills and how they were bright and sunny. In my opinion, the author is setting the tone for a central underlining conflict between the characters.…

    Along with the sound I think the diction level of the text is kind of difficult to understand, I think that there are a lot of strong verbs used and complex words that make the text hard to follow, especially when listening to it. The choice of words helps to signal the purpose of the text by really describing scenarios and events in a very strong manner that let the text come to life in my head such when Edgar Allen Poe states, “Leave my loneliness unbroken!—quit the bust above my door!” This is a perfect example of strong word use in order for me to illustrate what is happening in the text. I envision a distraught man who wants to be left alone yet others do not want him to. This piece of text has a very sorrowful connotation behind…
