The second peace features an old woman as opposed to the two younger women in the first one, although they really represent two sides of the same woman. This old woman is pictured in front of a blue background and she has clouds on her shirt as well as for her hair. She wears thick glasses, which give her an older, more mature look. This piece of art suggests that there is great beauty in old age. Our society attaches a negative stigma to being older, and there are indeed many unpleasant things about being old.
"Let's ride, let's just arc it up and go." But Boner is going nowhere, and Jackie is ultimately forced to register how little distance she herself has travelled from her parents' world and "the small- town girl I was". All this might make the stories sound both parochial and dispiriting, but these emblems of confinement are actually part of a broader and more complex
Between both authors it is debatable whether which of these authors has more effectively relayed their messages ORWELL * Both composers represent the immense fears and anxieties of their respective times within their texts through a variety of ways, * Orwell uses a diverse and signature range of language techniques, and symbols to represent his vital message of warning to the audience of the dangers of totalitarian governments/ regimes and the perversion within communist and fascist parties. * Orwell’s lucid writing style is his most powerful tool in revealing his messages to the audience, his employment of striking and vivid language and his organisation of powerful adjectives, verbs and adverbs is what enable him to draw in the audience and present the brutal and oppressed world of Oceania. His clearly expressed and arranged writing style ensures that there is no ambiguity in the reception of his message. This lucid writing style can be seen through the quote “nothing was your own except the few cubic metres inside your skull. * Orwell constantly uses the technique of allusions throughout the novel to comment and communicate his ideals as well, he uses the technique to ensure that the audience follow his own point of view and
Different cultures have all engaged and written great poetry using the idea of repetition, but each culture uses it to show a different meaning or purpose in the speech. Among the most interesting cultures that vary in their usage of repetition are the Native Americans, the Spanish, and the Japanese. In poems from these cultures we see the use of repetition reflect each of their unique histories, values, or perception of the world. In the Native American poems, anaphora is used in a specific way that is rooted in their history; before writing had developed, oral tradition was the primary method to pass on the tribe’s history, beliefs, and lessons. In these oral traditions the tribe leaders or story tellers would repeat lines of stories in order to make important concepts stand out; the repetition also gave the stories a song like quality that made the lesson easy to remember.
Despite the lack of food and terrible living conditions, Asha had been working hard since she was a child. Her ambition to live a better life was sparked by the hardships she encountered, and planted in her mind as she endeavored to do her best at work. Years later, Asha married an alcoholic man with little ambition and then started her life in a slum near Mumbai called Annawadi, a place full of poor scavengers that lived in little huts with small incomes from trash picking. Asha, as part of the group that suffered poverty, distinguished herself by her independence and determination that she had developed through those years of indigent life. As the slum dwellers described, “We are the shit between the roses” (xii).
Change is an integral part of human life, and is a literary tool often employed by authors to reveal the true nature of a character. In Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men”, the novel constantly presents the idea of imminent change; of Lennie getting into trouble and their peaceful environment being shattered. As this happens we see a fundamental change come over George. Always appearing a strong character, all of George’s hopes and dreams are killed with Lennie, even though they would have still been possible. Change here outlines George’s otherwise strong, decisive and problem solving character to be weak without the companionship of Lennie.
The story describes the nature a lot, for example ‘around the spring, where the family got drinking water, silver ferns and wildflowers grew’ When she wanders into the woods, the descriptions get more unpleasant. The narrator says that ‘It seemed gloomy in the little cove in which she found herself. The air was damp, the silence close and deep’ At this point Myop is about a mile away from home. She is used to gather nuts with her mom in the woods, but this time she took her own path. It’s a third person omniscient narrator, who knows everything about Myop.
Follower and Digging both give a clear account of Heaney's feelings towards his father with particular emphasis on the poet's response to the physical labour of his father. Both poems capture the contrast between past and present, Heaney's life and that of his father and once again highlight the theme of change. The notion of transformation is effectively conveyed in the poems by the display of the father's and also Heaney's journey through life. Both poems create a clear picture of their lives that spans over several years and generations and that effectively condenses the happenings in that time. ‘Digging’ is very much like ‘Follower’, in the sense that it shows how the young Heaney looked up to his elders - in this case both father and grandfather.
