This is a,
"it feels like midnight, but it's not and i still have more homework to do
" essay. I tried to answer the questions presented in the prompt but I
already know all my thoughts aren't completely devolved and it is repetitive. I
still will appreciated any input and I hope to revise and make this essay
better soon.
Montaigne ventures to describe the life he has experienced
with frankness and honesty. He has a single minded style that leads him in in
thoughts and actions. He has a style similar to stream of consciousness; he
gets caught up in the moment and subject that is causing him to deeply reflect
on himself. Montaigne is open to the audience on his opinions concerning
certain subjects and problems that riddle society. This is contrasting to both
Wallace's and Austen's way of thinking and styles
Unafraid
of not being able to totally describe how he feels or what he is thinking,
Montaigne goes for it. He thinks the fear of being unable to accomplish what he
hopes to do is not big enough to hold him back. Though Wallace's opinion of
being only able to sketch a situation may be true, Montaigne is able to show he
is willing to try to explain his motives and ideas, even if the whole picture
cannot be thoroughly seen. He sees there is a bigger benefit trying to write
it, than not trying at all. Montaigne is not afraid to try to break down his
thoughts and thinking for the reader to pick through. He wants the reader to
see him analyzing what is going on in his head, why his is thinking the way he
is and what is driving his to feel that. He has a willingness to explore his
thoughts for the audience to reflect on for themselves.
His style
shows a willingness to be open with the author. Montaigne wants the author to
read and want to know about him. It makes his thinking a very obvious whereas
Austen's style one of more reservation and class is as she shares herself
through her fictional book. Austen’s work has a large, eloquent vocabulary
along with text full of smart remarks. Montaigne's writing is filled with ideas
and deep though in reflection on his topics. Austen’s style might be better
revealed if she was writing a book about herself, like Montaigne, but even if
she was, the same elements that were in Pride and Prejudice would most likely
also be in this new book.
Wallace’s statement regarding words’ inability to fully
portray a situation is opposed by Montaigne. He ventures to contradict
Wallace’s statement, hoping his views and thoughts can be grasped and learned
from by the audience. Montaigne works to describe, as thoroughly as, possible
what he is thinking and why. Montaigne’s openness and honestly allows the
reader pick his brain which he has already laid out for them on paper; he tries
to get them thinking about his thinking. He shows them the great variety of
thought that is contained in only one mind. Montaigne’s thinking is different
from Austen’s in that he has no limitations on what he shares but Austen has
the ability only to share so much because it is not a book solely about her.
Austen and Montaigne are able to share their thoughts through their books and
the reader is about to understand each’s style.
