He watched shyly from beneath his long fringe as she laughed demurely, her lustrous curls bouncing with the movement. “That’s wonderful Charles.” She said, tucking her loose waves behind her ear and her golden wedding band was a-glow in the suns rays, winking at him as a reminder that she would never be his; that she had given her very heart and soul to another man. He emitted an in inaudible noise as yet another piece of scrunched paper hit the back of his head, and he bent to pick it up, smoothing out the creases to be faced with another primitive drawing of himself and Mrs Anderson, a thick jagged heart encircling the embracing ‘lovers’. He scrunched it back up and dropped it to the floor, retrieving his pencil as the words flowed from an inner-well of emotion, his hand flying over the
I enjoyed the way that Mr. Soto described the weather and the lovely girl that he first held hands with and the way the candy was tiered in the store. Also, the rhythm flowed nicely throughout the whole poem. Poetry that rhymes and flows easily holds my attention more than poetry that doesn’t rhyme. As stated before, Gary Soto writes mostly about Mexican-American culture and the farming industry in central California but what I enjoyed about “Oranges” is the description of the first love of this young man and how he impressed the girl he was with when he used an orange to help buy the chocolate that she picked out. It reminded me of myself in my youth when my first love gave me a hand drawn picture of on oriole that he drew for me for Valentine’s Day.
The Untrue White F. Scott Fitzgerald uses symbolic colors to express the irony in the novel The Great Gatsby. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s assortment of color usage gives life to the characters, places, and objects in this book. However, the most definite is the color white; symbolizing purity, cleanliness, and innocence, white is one of the main symbols in the novel. Nevertheless, this color only gives the impression of chastity. In reality, this ‘harmlessness’ is corrupted with deception and false impression to camouflage the poison, malignance, and filth it truly represents.
While in the movie, the boy doesn’t resist her kiss and moves into the kiss and doesn’t try to stop. Another difference is when Blanche is asking the boy about what kind of soda he had. In the play, the boy answers with no interest and excitement and you get the feeling that he doesn’t want to be there. In the movie however, when Blanche asks him what kind of soda he had, he answers with more enthusiasm. Also, when Blanche says Cherry with excitement, he replies back with excitement as well.
For example, when Lenina realizes that she likes John, who is from the Savage reservation, she cannot stop thinking about him. Fanny, Lenina’s friend, tells her to take Soma so she can be like everyone else; happy, cheerful and without any emotions.”Half a gramme had been enough to make Lenina forget her fears and her embarrassment” (Huxley 128). So when she finally takes the Soma, it helps her to fit in with her surroundings, pushing away any feelings of fright or humiliation. Another example is when the people from the New World use Soma during the orgy. During this orgy, a cup with strawberry ice-creamSoma is passed around, and everyone is supposed to drink it while saying, “I drink to my annihilation” (Huxley 54).

Nathaniel Hawthorne uses several literary elements while writing “The Scarlet Letter” to carefully craft the novel; such as biblical allusions, symbolism, and personification to portray the flaws of human nature. Biblical allusions are referred to throughout the novel to provide reader with an understanding of the nature of sin. He uses Dimmesdale as the main focus point towards this literary element during his death. Hawthorne also uses symbolism and it is present when the Black Man is mentioned, comparing human nature and the evil that can sometimes overcome it. Finally, personification helps bring out another theme, in which light and darkness show through nature in the book.

While the contrast of light and dark, white and black, and good and evil is a common theme in his novella, Conrad essentially reverses the meanings of the two. Conrad’s story is about the penetration of a corrupt light into darkness, and the consequences that result when the purity of darkness is tainted. In his story often the light is viewed as more menacing and evil than the darkness, and the
Even though a person’s humanity can suppress and subdue the evil, it will, when given the opportunity, flare - resulting in a cyclical nature of evil. Ruth Grant introduces the book by stating, “there is an intimate connection between the way in which evil is or is not identified, recognized and communicated on the one hand, and the way in which evils actually happen in the world, on the other”. She believes that evil can be understood to be different concepts in different areas, but it is however, still present in them. Evil is clearly portrayed in ‘Heart of Darkness’ as being an innate feature of human beings, where the two civilizations, which are at completely opposite ends of the spectrum, share common aspects of evil, supporting Grant’s claim. Conrad first presents this through Marlow’s encounter with the African ‘criminals’, “Six black men advanced in a file, toiling up the path...
