Communication

Introduction

This paper will discuss three famous essays “I am writing blindly”, “Walking” and “Children in the Woods” in the light of one chosen theme. The theme that we have chosen for the purpose of describing these three essays is that of communication. We believe that every text communicates with us in some form or the other. It is this ability of communicating with the intended audiences, that people begin to relate to these texts and finds its applications in daily lives. The paper ends with narrating a personal experience related to the communication theme that has been chosen. It is pertinent to observe that communication in essay writing and storytelling has a very high degree significance in these are the basics of a well-written literature (Gargiulo, pp. 30-32).

Roger Rosenblatt's “I am Writing Blindly”

Roger Rosenblatt's “I am Writing Blindly” is a very reader-friendly material; the basic element that stands out in this literary context is “Understanding”.

The essay was published as a historic writing piece about nature in Atlantic Monthly, after he himself had expired. “Walking” seems to be Thoreau's understanding about nature in the very last of his days, as he seems to be praising the real worth of nature that is seldom noticed by authors of this genre and cadre. The essay contains some of his ideas that were previously compiled and very positively presented. The tone of the writer in this essay is visionary, and he seems to take the readers in his own imaginary world, too. Being a combination of two lectures, “Walking” came out in the year 1851 (Thoreau , pp. 1909-14). Being one of his last literary achievements, the writer did not use a deathbed communication style to convince the audience based on a very empathic mood of writing. Moreover, it represents to be one of his final exhortations to the readers in order to catch their attention and focus its direction towards the offerings of Mother Nature (Thoreau , pp. 1909-14).
