David Smith
The engaging, alluring scent of the wildflowers on a farm matches that of fabric softener, expensive lotions, and fresh pinecones, but about 100 yards from this pleasing scent exists a rather smelly one that comes from the hog houses filled with the feces of a thousand pigs. When the noun smell becomes the adjective smelly, it changes the meaning-- changes it from an engaging alluring scent to a repulsive, vile one. This bad smell resembles the scents of Farty Fred, Pig-Pen, and David Smith. Groomed and gas filled, Farty Fred fears the gas inside him. Hurting, bloating, rumbling—these symptoms worry Fred he might blow. Judges look closely at him while they examine his smooth fur, confident walk, and sharp teeth; his perfection could win …show more content…
Once a short, fat boy, now a tall, well-built one, he acquired quite a stench throughout the quick transition. His armpits and feet could have killed the pigs in the hog confinements, but he could not smell a thing. Like most boys, he does not get very excited about showering, brushing his teeth, and applying deodorant. If he did, his name would not show up in this essay. The strong smell is almost hot, and over the course of a few years, he received enough comments and looks to understand the criticism his sister gave him about his stench was not just malice; he reeked, and everyone knew it. Making deodorant a habit made a substantial difference, but his showering and teeth cleansing habits could use some work. The odor has become less smelly than before, but his future, non-smelly days cannot come soon enough. Although the unpleasant smells of Farty Fred, Pig-Pen, and David seem terrible, always look for a positive. If these repulsive, vile smells did not exist to compare to the engaging, alluring ones, they would not smell nearly as good. Also, the more time spent around these smelly smells, the less powerful their stench becomes. So the next time something stinks, remember this: for every bad scent there is a good one

    Olaudah Equiano

    The author, Olaudah Equiano, uses logos: vivid imagery and good, descriptive adjectives to aid the reader in connecting and visualizing his story. For example, in lines 81-83 Equiano states, “This produced copious perspirations, so that the air soon became unfit for respiration, from a variety of loathsome smells, and brought on a sickness among the slaves, of which many died.” The words Equiano used to describe make the reader feel and imagine the whole Middle Passage experience. Instead of just saying solely perspirations, he used the adjective copious. Also, instead of using the word smells by itself, Equiano described the smells as loathsome which bring the adjective to life on a visual level. In a second account, Olaudah Equiano uses sensory imagery once again (86). Using this type of imagery joins to the reader’s senses of smell, sight, hearing, and taste to aid in creating a mood.…

Belasco grew upin San Fransisco and Victoria, British Columbia.

    He is a young man embarking on a journey that will most likely shape the rest of his life. He has finished school and is in search of employment. Hawthorne places David Swan in a slightly secluded and scenic area off the side of a roadway. This quiet area, near a pond, is a tranquil place for David Swan to fall asleep. This environment simulates the blindness everyone has to their own existence and further exhibits what Hawthorne described in his opening paragraph when he stated, "There are innumerable other events-if such they may be called-which come close upon us, yet pass away without actual results, or even betraying their near approach, by the reflection of any light or shadow across our minds."…
