- I really enjoy reading great American and British literature. The poetry of Emily Dickinson is some of my favorite, along with the plays of William Shakespeare. I also enjoy American and British history and exploring the relationship of how the history of a certain time period is reflected in the literature from that same period.
Nathaniel Hawthorne's astounding use of words is the result of many different aspects. His style is fluid and and smooth, as uninteruppted as the act of thinking itself. His theme and purpose for each individual story is both original and universal, any one of his readers can associate themselves with Hester, Dimmesdale, Mr. Heidegger, Mr. Hooper, or any of his other characters in their own situations throught the works. Hawthorne's use of imagery is incredible to say the least. Each scene is perfectly depicted whether it be as beautiful as your greatest dream, or has lucid as your most horrible nightmare. Hawthorne brings these qualities together wonderfully and proves himself to be an artist of the pen.
ReplyDeleteNathaniel Hawthorne is a talented writer due to his unique and complex style including detailed descriptions of people, thoughts, and environments. Hawthorne uses imagery uncountable times throughout his writings. With all the deepness of character he portrays in his books, Hawthorne gives the reader a splendid insight into the true theme.
ReplyDeleteNathaniel Hawthorne is a talented writer. His style includes complex sentences and much detail. He is able to fit many ideas and thoughts in one statement with his use of numerous commas and semicolons. He describes the themes and images in his writing flawlessly. He is capable of producing an apparent picture for all readers. Nathaniel Hawthorne is an talented writer because he writes with perfection.
ReplyDeleteNathaniel Hawthorne practically paints a picture for you. Hawthorne describes everything to a great extent with the use of many adjectives. He also uses a lot of commas, I believe he does this because he tries to get multiple thoughts into one sentence. Hawthorne has multiple themes in his writings. The majority of his writings have something to do with sin, such as the scarlet letter that Hester Prynne wore in "The Scarlet Letter", and the black veil Mr. Hooper wheres in "The Minister's Black Veil"
ReplyDeleteHawthorne is such a talented writer because of his style, theme, and imagery. For his style, he uses many commas and complex sentences with long ,but one complete meaning. The theme is close to the same in many of his books, he uses sin and human nature to teach his readers valuable lessons. Also, by using the imagery of the scarlet letter, black veil, and rose he adds a great element to his books. This is why he is such a talented writer.
ReplyDeleteNathaniel Hawthorne's use of detail, extensive vocabulary, symbolism, and placement of commas is what makes his writing so extrodinary and unique. In the three stories of his that we have read so far, each contain Hawthorne's noticable mark. The creativity of Hawthorne's symbolic and detailed writing shines clearly throughout each of his literary works. He depicts as clear a picture of his settings and characters as a painter. In his own way, he too is an artist of sorts, but instead of creating scenes with a brush and paint, he paints with words and ink.
ReplyDeleteNathaniel Hawthorne is a very unique writer because of his writing style. Hawthorne's writing style includes overly describing small things. Hawthorne uses imagery in every single sentence. Hawthorne's use of imagery also ties back to his style of overly describing little details. When there is so much description, it is easy to get a mental picture of what Hawthorne is talking about. Hawthorne's theme tends to be quite obvious, and is presented through symbolism, such as "The Scarlet Letter" the symbol for the theme was Pearl. Overall, Hawthorne is an amazing writer, who I never thought I would enjoy reading.

Nathaniel Hawthorne is a talented writer because his writing style differentiates from other famous writers. His style consists of many commas to seperate various ideas. Also, he is very descriptive, ensuring the reader has a vivid picture through his imagery. Hawthorne's theme cannot be found on the surface of his writing, you must search for a deeper meaning.
ReplyDeleteNathaniel Hawthorne is an extremely talented writer. He uses metaphors, symbolsim, and personifications almost artistically in his work. In fact, Hawthorne is an artist because in each of his books he paints a vivid picture of the scene with his imagery. Hawthorne takes the theme and puts in the form of a person, like Hester Prynne and Arthur Radley. He uses these characters to help his readers understand his point. Hawthorne may use his extensive vocabulary a bit much but it only adds to the splendor of the story. All of this aspects make Hawthorne a true master at his trade.

ReplyDeleteNathaniel Hawthorne is such a talented writer because his style draws a very descriptive picture of what he is trying to say. His works read like a movie that can be watched in the mind. This goes hand in hand with imagery. The images he draws with his words make his works what they are in the literary realm. His style also includes much symbolism. In a Hawthorne novel a character, place, or thing could really be standing for something else in present day society or life. Hawthorne's use of theme also captivates the audiences of his various novels and stories. He addresses real issues in the world that can be used generations over even if the work that is expressing the theme is set in a very early date. Nathaniel Hawthorne's style, his use of theme, and his use of imagery make him the talented writer people see him to be.
ReplyDeleteNathaniel Hawthorne would not be such a talented writer if it weren't for his use of style, theme, and imagery. His style of writing is very talented and unique because he makes the reader really think without stating what happens in the story point blankly. Instead, the meaning of his stories are quite vague, so the reader could have a variety of opinions about why the characters in the story do what they do. The theme of his writing is uncommon because the conflicts in his works are mainly internal conflicts, which really make the reader try to interpret the characters' feelings and relate the characters to themselves. Hawthorne's use of imagery expresses his talent in writing because to use imagery in the extraordinary way that he does, he is compelled to use an extensive vocabulary, which he does very successfully.

In studying Hawthorne, I have discovered that his style consists mainly of using an advanced vocabulary, being extremely descriptive, and using religion as a main point in most of his literature. He uses theme in each story to teach a lesson and illustrate a point. The imagery in his books paint vivid pictures for every reader to imagine and actually make them feel like they are a character.

ReplyDeleteNathaniel Hawthorne is a talented writer because of his ability to completely describe the image he is trying to convey, and the deep symbolism used in most of his stories. Hawthorne's use of his vast vocabulary enriches the description of the settings of his stories. The way the reader can picture the image Hawthorne is trying to describe is due to his attention to detail. Nothing is left unsaid in Hawthorne's writing because every detail the reader could ask for is perfectly presented. The symbolism Hawthorne uses makes his writing have a deeper and greater meaning. Its hard for a writer to come up with an amazing story, but its even harder for a writer to include a greater moral story, such as Hawthorne does. The complete descriptions and amazing symbolism make Hawthorne a talented writer.

Nathaniel Hawthorne distinguishes himself in many ways. Hawthorne's style is very unique because he will try to fit as much information in a single sentence that is possible. He does this with his extensive use of commas and conjunctions, but still follows every rule in the English language when doing so. Hawthorne also uses very intricate themes that relate to experiences that every person, no matter rank or position, has done or wished for. One theme is that when given the chance to change the past we will still make the same mistakes, and others include dealings with personal sins that have been committed, announced or not. Hawthorne also has an incredible talent for imagery. Hawthorne tells every detail with precision and recreates all objects in his books for the readers. He could describe every crack in a dropped vase or every feather on a bird's wing. These three traits make Hawthorne a writer different from all others, and give him a seat in the history of literature
ReplyDeleteNathaniel Hawthorne is a talented writer because of his writing style, use of theme, and his imagery. Hawthorne's writing style consists of a unique sentence structure in which there is many compound sentences and multiple uses of commas that elongate the sentence. Hawthorne uses a constant theme of sin to show the reader how sin affects a person and what the person may or may not learn from the sin. Hawthorne uses imagery to an amazing degree to illustrate the important concepts and details of his work beautifully. This imagery really helps the reader get an idea of what the object not only looks like, but what it symbolizes. All of these components combine to make a talented writer such as Hawthorne himself.
ReplyDeleteNathaniel Hawthorne is a talented writer because of his descriptive and unique writing. Hawthorne uses personification and many adjectives all throughout his works of literature. In three of Hawthorne's books he uses sin as the main theme, though he does not always address that theme directly he describes it well enough that the reader understands. Hawthorne also uses symbolism often such as the scarlet letter, the black veil, and the water from the Fountain of Youth. He gives each of those symbols exact characteristics of how they impact the people in the book and the book itself. Hawthorne's style of writing is like no other, so that is what makes him so talented.
ReplyDeleteHawthorne's style of writing, his use of theme, and his use of imagery make him a very talented writer. His style of writing is overly descriptive. He uses many different types of words, but mostly he uses adjectives. He often uses several redundant words just to make the topic of description more vivid. The imagery in his books make the words come to life so much as to be able to picture them in one's head. He also often uses writing that shows the "dark versus the light" between characters or symbols. Nathaniel Hawthorne is a very ingenious and eccentric writer.
ReplyDeleteMany aspects of Nathaniel Hawthorne's writing makes him a talented writer. In Hawthorne's style, he uses complex sentences to make his writing even more sophisticated than it already is. In the three books we read by Hawthorne, the theme in all of them was sin, and sin played out through the entirety of all three of the books. Hawthorne uses imagery to describe objects typically dull in life in a vivid way, just like the scarlet letter A. All three of the books that we read by Hawthorne display how talented of a writer he really is.

Nathaniel Hawthorne is viewed as an extremely talented writer for many reasons. One reason is his style of writing in which he uses a great deal of symbolism and personification such as with the scarlet letter, the black veil, and the rose.Hawthorne's themes also credit him with much praise. His themes usually revolve around sin but take different views of it as with the character Hester Pryne who makes the reader see what it is like to be the one who sinned and makes some readers question if her sin was really as awful as it is made out to be. Hawthorne's imagery also serves to make him a talented writer in the views of many critics. He depicts everything in his stories with so much detail that you can almost see it yourself and that draws you into the story even more. Hawthorne's style, use of theme, and use of imagery serve to have him viewed as one of the most talented writer's of all time.

A unique style, the use of theme, and the use of imagery makes Nathaniel Hawthorne a talented writer. His writing style shows that he is a very intelligent man, judging by his use of rather advanced vocabulary. Religion plays a great role in most of his books. Hawthorne uses adult situations in his books to show a message or teach a lesson, such as in The Scarlet Letter when Hester Prynne commits adultery and is punished by wearing a scarlet A on her breast. His themes usually revolve around the presence of sin and evil. Hawthorne also shows an elaborate use of imagery throughout his books. He is extremely descriptive in his writing which allows the reader to see a picture through his words. Hawthorne is a great writer, and I hope to read more of his books in the future.
