{Article Evaluation exercise } Melodic Motion

  • Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? In my opinion everything is quite relevant and nothing really distracted me except for the beginning when it was swapping between the different types of melodies.
  • Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? Nothing is missing. And it is all good to DATE.
  • What else could be improved? I believe that there could be some examples in there.
  • The tone is very neutral and a few things are under-presented . The kind of gloss over some of it.
  • All the links work and valid. The sources come from creditable and neutral articles. They are more factual if anything.
  • I don't see any ratings or talks.

Jolie's peer review

Is each section's length equal to its importance to the article's subject? Are there sections in the article that seem unnecessary? Is anything off-topic?The article itself isn't bad but there are things that can definitely be added. There are things that are unnecessary, but at the same time there can definitely be some things that can be added. Does the article reflect all the perspectives represented in the published literature? Are any significant viewpoints left out or missing? There are a couple view left out but that is okay because we can add some. Does the article draw conclusions or try to convince the reader to accept one particular point of view? no it does not. Are the sections organized well, in a sensible order? Would they make more sense presented some other way (chronologically, for example)? yes the sections are organized well. Do you think you could guess the perspective of the author by reading the article? Ye sir I believe i can. Are there any words or phrases that don't feel neutral? For example, "the best idea," "most people," or negative associations, such as "While it's obvious that x, some insist that y." There are a few but it isn't to bad. Does the article make claims on behalf of unnamed groups or people? For example, "some people say..." Ye maa'am they do. Does the article focus too much on negative or positive information? Remember, neutral doesn't mean "the best positive light" or "the worst, most critical light." It means a clear reflection of various aspects of a topic. nope.

Jolie's week 6 short story summary

This article is A Rose for Emily. It defines and goes further into the characters, and discussing their characteristics and qualities. It tells you about the structure of the short story. The theme is ""A Rose for Emily" discusses many dark themes that characterized the Old South and Southern Gothic fiction."[1] It however doesn't discuss the symbolism. i plan to discuss the various symbols with three different article. Two which I already have. This article is pretty much a give from the short story and really doesn't go that much farther into debt.

RE-EDIT of A Rose For Emily Article

The article A Rose for Emily, is about a woman named Emily, who recently loses her father. In the midst of his death, she discovers her necrophiliac intentions and goes farther then before. She keeps a dead man in her bed and does unspeakable things with him. No one knows about her secret obsession because she never ever leaves the house. The only person they see is her grocery man who barely speaks and when asked tells them she is in mourning. In the end, it all unfolds for the whole town to see. This surprise leaves the whole town in shock.

AS of right now I do not have any edits from other classmates or Wikipedia. I am also still very confused on to what we are supposed to be doing in this exercise.


( 300 words for my short story.)

In my short story A Rose for Emily, Emily is awakened by some filthy obsessions that she had no idea about. These obsessions only awakened when her father died.“Rose” or a variant of it—“rising,” “rise,” “rose color,” and “rose-shaded”— appears just six times in the narrative, the first occurring in the description of Emily’s encounter with the Jefferson townsmen who try to persuade her to pay her taxes. In this episode “rose” is a verb: as the town leaders sat down “a faint dust rose sluggishly about their thighs” (120); and “[they rose when she entered” (121)4. The scene documents the up and down binary: she stands and does not ask them to sit, the narrator points out; moreover the dust rises from the chairs as a result of their sitting down. Even the curious gold chain she wears “descend [s] to her waist and vanish[es] into her belt” (121). Her body looks like one “long submerged in motionless water” (121); and the crayon portrait of her father stands on a “gilt easel before the fireplace” and the “stairway [mounts]” from the hall into shadows above, as the townsmen sit waiting for Emily (120)( Who arose for Emily). Also The chain connects the upper with the nether region of her body, mind (by suggestion) with sexuality, and thereby almost parallels another of Faulkner’s comments about the story: that it treats “the conflict of conscience with glands” This vertical line joins the teeming, urgent, timebound and crass sexuality below to the haughtiness and imagination above, with all the aureole-like suggestiveness of the golden chain. The ulteriority of the persistently ticking watch, the biological clock, as it were, opposed to the gold—the sexual opposed to the imaginative and mental—parallels the ulteriority of “arose” as opposed to “a rose,” “arose” operating as the unacknowledged element in the binary of romance, love pitching “his mansion in / The place of excrement,” according to Yeats’s Crazy Jane, certainly Emily’s match at being “proud and stiff / When on love intent” (254-55).
