He also chose to talk about the pink ribbons in Faith’s cap, to show her as an innocent girl; because the pink ribbons symbolise innocence as they are worn by little girls. Similarly, in “The Cask of Amontillado”, Edgar Allan Poe depicts Fortunato as a vulnerable, immature and an innocent man; when Montresor meets him at the carnival, he describes him as such, “He accosted me with excessive warmth, for he had been drinking much. The man wore motley. He had on a tight-fitting parti-striped dress and his head was surmounted by the conical cap and bells” (Poe 1). Poe portrays Fortunato as a vulnerable man because he is drunk throughout the story; he also portrays him as an innocent and an immature man, because he is dressed like a
Keats’ poem is one extensive run-on sentence that truly “runs” across the page. It entails a great deal of information in a very short work. Because lines are jammed into one another, the reader is given a sense of abruptness. The lack of punctuation at the end of each line causes the poem to emanate a rushed, nervous and hurried tone. The narrator explains in the first line that he “may cease to be” and rushes to include he is afraid to die “before [his] pen has glean’d [his] teeming brain”.

Joe admits he ‘construed’ Clarissa’s narrative but he does not explain how. This absence of explanation is predominantly strange, bearing in mind that a lot of narrative in earlier chapters concerned itself with metafiction. As readers we have to guess how this has been constructed. The impression that Joe has used Clarissa’s diary to create the narrative in the chapter is stood out by the list of events that occur in it. These events appear to be unexpected and unconnected to the other characters, so it deducts from the suspense.
He often writes through famous battles fairly quickly and will drag out the rest. Most of the time, they weren’t in combat, but were trying to survive from their hunger and the unforgiving environment. Martin even sheds light on how the Continental Congress treated the Revolutionary Army and how they overlooked many of the soldiers’ issues and needs especially when it came to food and clothing. This was never really talked about before this book. The

This poem expresses frustration at the inability to fulfill one’s dreams. The eleven-line poem uses word play and symbolism to express an overwhelming sense of frustration. Using questions to guide the reader deeper into contemplation, Hughes uses symbolism and similes throughout the poem to present the reader with graphic images. Food symbolism appears more than once in the second stanza, symbolizing that dreams, like perishables, may be good at first but change when ignored, whether for better or worse. The symbolism of the raisin in line 3, drying in the sun, symbolizes the power of a dream, like the sweetness and flavor in a grape, condensing and becoming more concentrated.
At the end, the sound of thunder is left to our own interpretation. “Nethergrave” didn’t seem to have as much emphasis on technology. At the first of the story, there is so much devoted to describing Jeremy’s day. It is understood that this is important in order to understand the character, but it seemed to be too much. It made the story feel like it was dragging on without point or reason.
It can already be assume that the narration will be from an uneducated person from the way that they form their sentences. I can already tell that it may be slightly awkward reading this novel, as the syntax is much different than I would read in any other modern novel. | Emotion vs. Moral Duty | 1 | 2 | “…and took a set at me now with a spelling-book.

Yet, the use of the simile “caught the 414 bus/ like a foreign tourist” undercuts any sense of comfort and creates a sense of alienation in this setting good! Again, Skryxnecki uses the structure of the poem for emphasis, positioning the adjective at the beginning of the next line foregrounds the persona's sense of confusion, “Uncertain of my destination/ Everytime I got off”. Here, the enjambment allows the emphasis to fall heavily on “everytime” highlighting that this was not an irregular
