This paints Assia as seductress. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56408?scroll_to=640045 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56408?scroll_to=640045 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 11:04:20 -0500 Agon refers to the struggle or conflict between Plath and Hughes. It is referred to again in the last paragraph because it signifies what the reviewer thinks of the book and it also ties up the entire review nicely. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56408?scroll_to=640042 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56408?scroll_to=640042 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 11:02:11 -0500 I think the diary is now viewed as a deliberate creation rather than the last days of the victim. It makes me think that if she hadn't befell this fate she would have still been a relevant writer. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56406?scroll_to=635220 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56406?scroll_to=635220 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 06:42:26 -0500 A historical document that wasn't interfered with. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56406?scroll_to=635219 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56406?scroll_to=635219 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 06:41:25 -0500 The reviewer now see's her as an artist that had deliberate practice in creating her diaries rather than seeing her only as a victim. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56406?scroll_to=635218 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56406?scroll_to=635218 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 06:39:35 -0500 The issue of whether or not there was more to be said about Ann Frank and whether there should be anymore written about her. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56406?scroll_to=635216 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56406?scroll_to=635216 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 19:43:55 -0500 Editors are in an objective position and can help hone the reviewers point of view. They can make sure the review is not too overtly positive or negative. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56405?scroll_to=635214 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56405?scroll_to=635214 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 14:29:04 -0500 I think ideas and the way words are used are constantly changing. If not the new interpretation wouldn't amount to much. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56403?scroll_to=632521 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56403?scroll_to=632521 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:26:37 -0500 I think most people would write "This is not a fresh approach." The author approaches the sentence in the least common way in order to show his own fresh way of writing. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=632520 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=632520 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 00:06:49 -0500 The evaluation is terse and from what the author has told us in the review it's the best compliment that can be given. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=632519 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=632519 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 00:02:10 -0500 I agree. I think starting with an easy by the numbers basics of a topic I don't know about is best. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=632518 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=632518 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 00:00:13 -0500 A compendium is a collection of a given topic. In this case it refers to the entirety of it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=632517 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=632517 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 23:59:02 -0500 Its usually to set the theme and tone of a book or other works. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=632516 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=632516 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 07:38:46 -0500 The tone is going to be a bit tongue and cheek with a bit of sarcasm. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=632515 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=632515 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 23:56:17 -0500 The reviewer establishes his or her credibility on the subject. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=632514 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=632514 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 00:02:58 -0500 It gives the author's opinion of the book and his overall recommendation for it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56356?scroll_to=628798 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56356?scroll_to=628798 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 02:55:38 -0500 It shows the contrast of her character and also accents her wit. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56356?scroll_to=628797 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56356?scroll_to=628797 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 02:53:08 -0500 It ties into the theme of Marilyn's introspective nature that was discussed in this paragraph. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56356?scroll_to=628796 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56356?scroll_to=628796 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 02:50:42 -0500 Most biographies emphasize the great accomplishments and failures of the subjects life. The second sentence helps to show that this is not the typical biography. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56356?scroll_to=628795 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56356?scroll_to=628795 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 02:49:13 -0500 It gives context to Marilyn that quickly engages the reader in the review. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56356?scroll_to=628794 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56356?scroll_to=628794 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 02:44:46 -0500 I think Pool is suggesting this of those who review as a passion and not those who seek monetary gains or clicks. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56403?scroll_to=628793 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56403?scroll_to=628793 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 02:40:22 -0500 I think Pool means that the there is value in looking at reviews from a specific time and mindset and how that may have changed overtime. Like when an author with negative reviews like Poe during his time would have almost universal praise now. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56403?scroll_to=628792 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56403?scroll_to=628792 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 05:45:04 -0500 Pool means that the enthusiasm the critic has for the topic being reviewed is more important than being nice. The writer should hold the topic to a higher standard and shouldn't be afraid to critique as such. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56402?scroll_to=620206 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56402?scroll_to=620206 Wed, 14 Dec 2016 07:46:11 -0500 "Rinsing out" in this review means the author should have taken out the familiar Sinatra stories and focused on new ones. It's basically saying the writer is treading on a lot of ground that has been covered before and brings nothing new. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=606050 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=606050 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 22:02:37 -0400 This sentence for me sets the tone of the piece as well as gives the reader an idea of the author's opinion without giving too much away. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=606041 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=606041 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 23:56:17 -0500
