this very discontent feeling would further add to the very isolation the Glaspell is trying to portray. How is anyone to feel connected when they much live with a foul personality? “He was a hard man” (Glaspell 181); “Like a raw wind that gets to the bone” (Glaspell 181). He gave his wife a dispirited sense of being. She probably felt smothered by his bleak nature and with the fact that the farmhouse was too isolated for anyone to want to visit, Mrs. Wright was left alone.
Skrzynecki use the word “darkness” to describe the inside of the museum which symbolises his sadness. The tone of sadness emphasises how he doesn’t want to be there, he doesn’t have any connection with the museum and Australian culture. Skrzynecki used different colours such as “grey”, “yellow and brown” to create a dull and cold image which create a distance between the museum and him. Also the dull atmosphere further reflects Skrzynecki’s negative feeling and makes him harder to connect with Australian culture. “TO remind of pass/ Which isn’t mine.” Indicates where Skrzynecki had tried to fit in with the museum but the tone of sadness and depression show that he had failed to connect with the new culture and country.
When in London because of the smog you can’t see anything so you feel trapped and confined like in Eel Marsh House, Kipps calls it ‘like a game of blind man’s buff’, this shows how Kipps feels about having his senses trapped and locked out. ‘what figures I could make out...were like ghost figures’ as the fog blinds and the setting is glum and doom this again refers back to how Kipps is a realistic man and doesn’t believe in ghosts so uses this example as if ghosts were not real, Hill also uses the technique of foreshadowing to refer what happens later in the novel. This also relates to how Kipps is feeling when referring back to the thought of the Woman in Black appearing when he visited Crythin Gifford. Pathetic Fallacy also sets the setting of a normal day in London, and how the ‘the miserable weather and lowering to the spirits in the dreariest month of the year’, when Hill refers to the weather using pathetic fallacy she creates the mood to be very miserable and upsetting, like there is no positive side to Crythin Gifford. ‘Dreariest month of the year’ suggests that the town is quite dreary and is like how the houses and people of the town are seen.
In the chapter called 'Across the Causeway', the writer creates tension by using an isolated burial ground, which makes the reader focus on the sense of isolation. The fact that Arthur Kipps is in an unknown, mysterious place accentuates tension, because the word "burial" makes us think about death and loneliness which creates apprehension and tension in the reader's mind. Also, the word "isolated" suggests that you're alone and this creates tension because it implies a feeling of discomfort and insecurity. Furthermore, the burial ground is described as "decayed", and this makes me think about a abandoned decomposing corpse, and this fact means that this place is not visited often and that it is in a state of total ruin. This idea is supported by the fact that this burial ground is "enclosed by the remains of walls".
Critics have argued there is no positive attitude towards ‘Mr Bleaney’ but in contrast a negative attitude as Larkin’s layout with sharp short sentences could reinforce anger and regret. ‘This was Mr Bleaney’s room’ the
Friedrich Engels stated in “The Condition of the Working Class in England”, a variety of characteristics of working class living conditions in England. One characteristic of working class living conditions in England stated by Friedrich Engels was that “they were generally unplanned wilderness of one-or-two storied terrace houses built of brick”. Another characteristic of working class living conditions in England was that “they were filthy and strewn with animal and vegetable refuse. Since they have neither gutters nor drains the refuse accumulates in stagnant, stinking puddles. Ventilation in the slums is inadequate owing to the hopelessly unplanned nature of these areas.” (Doc.
People experience a sense of belonging in varied and complex ways. How is this explored in the texts you have studied? Belonging is a layered concept where you can achieve a sense of belonging through. Peter Skrzynecki has explored the concept of not belonging due to the lack of connection in the poems “Feliks Skrzynecki” and “In the folk museum”. The lack of connection or intimacy will lead to isolation and alienation.
In the Folk Museum This poem is about an alienating experience, which arises from the persona’s desire to belong to place by fostering a connection with cultural heritage. In the poem, the persona visits a folk museum in Armidale, NSW. As he finds the exhibitions in the museum unfamiliar to him (given his differing cultural background), he finds this to be a dark and confronting experience, which only serves to emphasise his position as an outsider. In this poem, the concepts of belonging are: Belonging to place Belonging to culture and heritage Belonging to the past/shared history Close Analysis of the
It may also be foreshadowing that because there is not much light that for George and Lennie something bad is going to happen meaning that it is not a good place for them to be. We also see how badly kept this place is with 'littered cards' this means that the place is not very well kept and that the men that live in it don't really see it as their home instead they just see it as a place where they work and treat it with no real respect. Also with 'black cast iron stove' shows this place really is not looked after as black is a sign of danger and this adds to the foreshadowing that Steinbeck is creating. 'Rushing stars' may show that the dream for George and Lennie is getting even further away and that they may not achieve the dream as it going away from
Was she devaluing a PCA's role and intelligence? I felt offended primarily by what I perceived as a very poor attitude towards the client being referred to as an "old codger" and the scathing manner that she referred to his need for personal care. I was distressed by the unprofessional expression and the lack of
