Making It in America “Making It in America” by Walt Filkowski is a story that is geared towards highlighting the biography of the author. The author uses stylistic devices like imagery and suspense throughout his work. Apparently Walt Filkowski uses imagery to describe the training camp he underwent during his service in the Navy of the United States. He describes the training as like being baptized in a glowing red fire. In this context, the imagery helps the reader to understand the rigor of the training. It also emphasizes the notion that the training is not destined for those who are faint-hearted (Ogorman and Div 175). Filkowski uses imagery when he likens the training camp with as a monastery field. The description helps to capture the image of the reader with regards to understanding the level of discipline observed in the camp. Filkowski uses imagery throughout the text like when he says that customers streamed in his establishment like bees in a beehive. The image assists the reader to visualize the how the business is lucrative. The colorful cover attracts the readers to yearn more to read it. The imagery also helps to illustrate the zeal and eagerness with which Filkowski approached his new occupation. In the biography, the author has also used the element of suspense. For example, Filkowski does not explain the life her first wife embarked on after their messy divorce that happened in 1979. The situation leaves the reader with the anxiety of yearning to know whether they communicated and the kind of relationship they had after that. Another instance where suspense is applied in the biography is when there is an explanation of Filkowski’s tour with a motorcycle in Canada and the United States shortly after his retirement (Walker and Diane 575). There is no adequate description given with regards to the trip and what motivated Filkowski to undertake such a feat, especially with a motorcycle. The reader is left with many options in the mind. The most probable one is whether he took Filkowski made the tour for charity or enjoyment purposes. The suspense is also generated in the biography when it is noted that Filkowski and his second wife relinquished their inn keeping the business in 2004. There is no elaborate explanation as to what motivated them to so. Also, there is no much explanation of their life after they quit the business (Kenneth 3270).This only increases suspense among the readers. The Lesson There are a series of stylistic devices in the page 253 of the book. The first stylistic device prominent in the reading is alliteration. An example of alliteration as used in the text is the words in the third sentences like high and nigh. Another example of alliteration usage is in the sixth line with the words ask and dusk. The manner in which these words have been aligned serve as to bring a musical aspect in the reading. Another stylistic device used in the work is irony. The writer says in the sixteenth line that money is vanity.In the following line he says that money sweet. The two arguments bring irony especially when they are used in the same text. Many people undergo some interruption in their daily lives when they encounter such occurrences (Medina 218). The unimaginable are deemed to happen. On the extreme a victim may take his or her life for the reason to isolate themselves
