The association of good and evil seems unclear as Davies brightens out his ideas and arguments as of the Fifth Business, Dunstable Ramsay, who is ironically the main character of the drama. This novel is not concerned with any particular issue of seeking independence from the moral authorities rather with an individual’s understanding of himself and his place in the society. Surely, Fifth Business has an ability to notify the reader of the necessity of accepting evil in ones self. There are plenty of examples that refer to Dunstan’s unsophisticated nature and simple mentality. Ramsay is a gentle and thoughtful man who believes in both fate and free will.
There are some things in life that may seem insignificant but can end up holding the upmost importance to us. We are told to appreciate the small things in life; not to take them for granted. The same thing holds true in literature, where a character may not be present much in the story, but still plays an important role. In Joseph Conrad’s The Heart of Darkness, some of theses types of characters are present. One in particular , by the name or Kurtz, has a great affect on the story.
Furthermore, there's no Holden without repetition. He's the reason we hate him so much. Real people are annoying, too! When you say things like “Boy, I can't stand that sonuvabitch. He's one sonuvabitch I really can't stand!”(pg.
Although I was a bit surprised due to the use of over-dramatized language in the story which is normally socially and morally un-acceptable but perhaps the essence and true meaning of the story could not have been achieved without that. The writer is immensely skilled, daring and imaginative in the choice of his words and plot setting. His minimal narrative style and plot lines is effective in capturing the reality of his characters and their emotional behavior. The life of the characters is described in such a way that its theme seems closely related to Carver’s personal life. This
When I read, “we slept here” (Woolf 41) and “kisses without number” (Woolf 41), I started to have my own memories of times gone by. The true treasure of life is the love we share rather than a tangible item. I would recommend this story and author because of the beautiful imagery and the unexpected twists the author is capable of. I appreciated the author’s ability to make the story come alive in my mind and cause me to reconsider the “treasure” I have in my life. The author’s skill in showing the irony that things are not always as we expect was thought-provoking.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty In the short story “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” I find Walter to be a very interesting character. He peaked my interest because of his day dreams and the humorous way he went about living. Walter seems to be rejected by society as well as his own wife. He responds to this treatment by going into a far away place and living out a more fun and adventurous lifestyle. By being absolutely unaware of the world around him, some feel that he is a very negative person.
However they also strive to form meaning within the writing through literary devices, characters, and the piece as a whole. But writing can also be a form of relief from hard ache, melancholy, and sometimes resentment. Writer’s write for themselves because it is what they are meant to do, but along the way they create meaning, conversations with others that they have never come in contact with, but most of all form beautiful forms of art through the simplicity of words. Writing is constructed based around improbable conversations they have with themselves and their readers. They write to express their feelings, opinions, and truths, but prominently themselves.
The protagonist of The Outsider, Meursault, is estranged because he does not fit into the social norm. At the news of his mother’s demise, Meursault does not feel the agony that normal people do when hearing their parents’ deaths. His lack of emotion is further evinced by his sending his mother to the Senior’s House. In Meursault’s psyche, he feels that his mother is a burden to him. He thinks that the Senior House is a better choice for the both of them as his mother would be happier there.
Some might argue that It is because of his wife's berating, that Rip was not proactive in contributing in house work. I think that whether she nagged him or not, it would not have changed his character traits. If I for example wanted a clean home, my home would be clean. If my home was dirty, and it did not bother me, I would not clean it. I think that Rip Van Winkle was looking for a distraction like most men, a every man.
I like it, he thought, I don’t like it…Charles Halloway saw but chose not to see,” it says on page 41. Ray Bradbury often makes the narration of the story much more personal, making it seem as if we were inside the characters’ heads, thinking what they think. This unique diction creates a comparably unique tone. Ray Bradbury’s tone always seems excited. The combination of short, choppy sentences, the long-winded sentences, and the repetition makes for a tense atmosphere about his words.
