  1. DIDST: Literature Quotations

  2. Diction: Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee • Meanwhile, the United States, thirsting for revenge, was prowling the country north and west of the Black Hills, killing Indians wherever they could be found. -Dee Brown

  3. Imagery: The Awakening • She looked into the distance, and the old terror flamed up for an instant, then sank again. Edna heard her father’s voice and her sister Margaret’s. She heard the barking of an old dog that was chained to the sycamore tree. The spurs of the cavalry officer as he walked across the porch. There was the hum of bees, and the musky odor of pinks filled the air. -Kate Chopin

  4. Whenever he was so fortunate as to have near him a hare that had been kept too long, or a meat pie made with rancid butter, he gorged himself with such violence that his veins swelled, and the moisture broke out on his forehead. -Thomas Babington Macaulay Detail: “Samuel Johnson”

  5. Syntax: “The Black Cat” No sooner had the reverberation of my blows sunk into silence, then I was answered by a voice from within the tomb! - by a cry, at first muffled and broken, like the sobbing of a child, and then quickly swelling into one long, loud, and continuous scream, utterly anomalous and inhuman - a howl! - a wailing shriek, half of horror and half of triumph, such as might have arisen only out of hell, conjointly from the throats of the damned in their agony and of the demons that exult in the damnation. -Edgar Allen Poe

  6. Tone: “Civilian” • Microphone feedback kept blaring out of the speaker’s words, but I got the outline. Withdrawal of our troops from Vietnam. Recognition of Cuba. Immediate commutation of student loans. Until all these demands were met, the speaker said he considered himself in a state of unconditional war with the United States government. I laughed out loud. -Tobias Wolff, “Civilian”
