In The Perfect Storm, author Sebastian Junger successfully implements the use of speculation without losing credibility throughout the book. Through the use of vivid description, research, and speculation Junger is able to accurately portray a narrative without the need to makeup quotes or dialogue.

Lovejoy manages to bring two debates together in his article by enlisting the birthplace debate to explain the name that should be used to refer to Equiano. He decides in his conclusion that it is most likely Equiano was born in Africa, but that it does not matter which name is used. He states that “the imposition of the birth name as the signifier long after he died, however, has allowed the postulation of a series of dichotomies, such as place of birth being in Africa and/or Carolina” (Lovejoy 177). Having extensively discussed the importance of both names to Equiano as a form of identification, he appears to prefer the name Equiano because it refers to a “reflection of where he came from even while he continued to identify as Gustavus Vassa”

David Ives’ “The Blizzard” does a good job of making people analyze their selves and their everyday life. His drama has the capabilities of making people ask many questions about themselves. Why do I follow a routine? Why do I settle for the same things over and over again? How do I break this cycle? What could I be doing differently with my life? It makes many people realize just how routine oriented they are. It also brings to light the fear and unwillingness to change that some people have.

Imagine loving a stranger but knowing you’re unable to be with them, Dana Gioia perfectly shows this in his poem “Summer Storm”. As Gioia’s poem is read, one can conclude that the speaker feels a love towards a stranger and feels the love back for a moment. Unfortunately is unable to be with this person because nothing was pursued. One could conclude that the love is forbidden or our other person is unsure of who they want to be with or who they are. Gioia uses rhyming in his poem to help the readers gain a personal connection to it; he also uses end rhyming in the second and fourth rows of each stanza. Gioia uses enjambment as well, which can be viewed as a run-on sentence used in a poem. He uses tone in his poem, which allows the reader to feel the pain of the speaker as he goes through a heart-wrenching experience, but also experience the feeling of a short relief as the speaker experiences someone having interest in him. When one finishes the poem one can identify that the speaker is also the author.

Hurston concurs in the "The Storm" that a forbidden relationship can become a cancerous love and silent death sentence.
