29. Author’s Purpose
The Town Dump, excerpt By Wallace Stegner Smashed wheels of wagons and buggies, tangles of rusty barbed wire, the collapsed perambulator that the French wife of one of the town's doctors had once pushed proudly up the planked sidewalks and along the ditchbank paths. A welter of foul-smelling feathers and coyote-scattered carrion which was all that remained of somebody's dream of a chicken ranch. The chickens had all got some mysterious pip at the same time, and died as one, and the dream lay out there with the rest of the town's history to rustle to the empty sky on the border of the hills. What is the main purpose of the narrative in this paragraph? How do we know?

Gwendolen. [Inquiringly.] I beg your pardon?
Cecily. [Rather shy and confidingly.] Dearest Gwendolen, there is no reason why I should make a secret of it to you. Our little county newspaper is sure to chronicle the fact next week. Mr. Ernest Worthing and I are engaged to be married.
Gwendolen. [Quite politely, rising.] My darling Cecily, I think there must be some slight error. Mr. Ernest Worthing is engaged to me. The announcement will appear in the Morning Post on Saturday at the latest.
Cecily. [Very politely, rising.] I am afraid you must be under some misconception. Ernest proposed to me exactly ten minutes ago. [Shows diary.]
Gwendolen. [Examines diary carefully.] It is certainly very curious, for he asked me to be his wife yesterday afternoon at If you would care to verify the incident, pray do so. [Produces diary of her own.] I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train. I am so sorry, dear Cecily, if it is any disappointment to you, but I am afraid I have the prior claim.

33. Precise Language
Moments of Being, excerpt
By Virginia Woolf
A treat announced perhaps once a fortnight, was an afternoon sailing. We would hire a lugger, the fisherman went with us. But once Thoby was allowed to steer us home. “Show them you can bring her in, my boy,” father said, with his usual trust and pride in Thoby. And Thoby took the fisherman’s place; and steered; flushed, and with his blue eyes very blue, and his mouth set, he sat there, bringing us round the point, into harbour, without letting the sail flag.
One day the sea was full of pale jellyfish, like lamps, with streaming hair; but they stung you if you touched them. Sometimes lines would be handed us; baited by gobbets cut from fish; and the line thrilled in one’s fingers as the boat tossed and shot through the water; and then—how can I convey the excitement?—there was a little leaping tug; then another; up one hauled; up through the water at length came the white twisting fish; and slapped on the floor. There it lay flapping this way and that in an inch or two of water...
What words does Woolf use that help convey the excitement of the trip?
What words amplify the experience?
Woolf carefully uses words to help the reader feel the mounting tension. For example, thrilled, shot, and slapped all suggest movement, speed, and even violence. These concepts contribute to excitement. In addition, Thoby is described as being flushed, with his eyes set, both of which show the nervous excitement of the scene.
The fishing line “thrilled” in her hands, which contributes to the reader sensing Woolf’s excitement. The boat “shot through” the water, which transfers Woolf’s own feelings to the motion of the boat. The violent nature is enhanced by Woolf’s use of “slapped” and by the image of the fish flapping on the floor of the boat later in the passage.

Moments of Being, excerpt

There it lay flapping this way and that in an inch or two of water...
How does Woolf suggest her complicated feelings as an adult looking back on childhood?
What does she write to give the reader a sense of her
own complications and contradictions?
Virginia Woolf uses diction to explain her complicated feelings. She develops this memory by beginning with the family and then shifting to herself as an individual. She states her goal is to “convey the excitement” and by developing her diction, she does just that. She writes about her own childhood, but notes that her father’s “usual pride” is focused on her brother, Thoby. Her description of the fish with words such as “twisting,” “slapped,” and “flapped,” adds to the complicated nature of her feelings, as they combine excitement with violence.
