When Looking and studying the sea during unit one and two, I researched in to two artists that I took major influence from and helped my work progress. In this essay I will be comparing the two artists. The artist’s that I will be comparing are Maggi Hambling and Kurt Jackson. The elements I will be discussing are intentions, subject matter, what inspired the artist, use of media, colour, technique, size, composition and viewer interaction. What Hambling is trying to achieve within her paintings is the intense, powerful moment when a wave comes crashing down.
The Awakening We use symbols everyday. Symbols are used to refer to something else and in some cases may suggest another meaning. The author Kate Chopin uses many symbols from birds to the ocean in her novel.The final, powerful scene of The Awakening by Kate Chopin provides a fitting end to Edna’s long struggle between expectation and desire. Edna’s traditional role of wife and mother holds her back from her wish to be a free woman. The sea in the novel is a symbol of freedom and escape in Edna’s mind, and she willingly embraces it.
Kate Chopin's The Awakening is a literary work full of symbolism. Sea, Birds, clothes, houses and other narrative elements are powerful symbols which add meaning to the novel and to the characters. I will analyze the most relevant symbols presented in Chopin's literary work. SEA The voice of the sea is seductive; never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses of solitude; to lose itself in mazes of inward contemplation. The voice of the sea speaks to the soul.
In the first stanza she talks about creatures of the ocean ‘whale, dolphin, sea-lion, shark, seal, fish’, using a list to name them all. I think the use of listing is very effective because it sends all the names out at an even pace and puts emphasis on each word at a time. The single worded sentence ‘Hero.’ is used to end the first stanza which puts a mythological stance on the poem which is an opposing idea to the ecological theme of the poem. There is a lot of central opposition within this poem as well as the two opposing themes mentioned. The first three stanzas focus on the beauty of the Earth with the list of creatures, and the wonders the world holds; ‘Andes, Himalayas, Kilimanjaro’ and ‘Amazon, Ganges, Nile’, whereas the final stanza focuses on the destruction of the world that is upon Atlas’ back.
Lastly, the readers may ask, what exactly is the tone in this piece? I feel her tone would be concluded as rather a type of infatuation or admiration. I say this, because Annie is so in awe with everything the eels do. Because she is so infatuated with them, it almost forces the reader to become obsessed with why Dillard is as excited about them as she is. As an author of the excerpt from “Nightwatch”, Annie Dillard wanted to write to her audience as if she were speaking to them face to face, trying to get them to understand without persuading them.
In the same manner that a song on the radio can remind someone of a time in their life, an object in a story can help someone to further understand what is taking place. This method of hidden messages through inanimate objects is symbolism, a technique that is used countless times in the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding. Although much of the symbolism that appears in this story is cryptic in meaning, one case of symbolism in this book really stands out. The white conch shell, being symbolic of the state of civilization on the island, helps to display the beginning of a mini-civilization, the slow deterioration of this civilization, and finally the extinction of all civilization on the island. With the early discovery of the conch comes the first symbolic use of the shell, as it before all else symbolizes the rise of civilization on the island.
The underlying reasons a character carries out an action are often hidden deep in the words of the poem. The speaker in Elizabeth Bishop's “The Fish” ultimately releases the fish due to her newfound respect towards him. This newfound respect is highlighted by the use of diction and descriptive detail. The use of diction is a key element to reveal the speaker's respect for the fish. The us of the word “tremendous” not only allows the speaker to show the size of the fish, but also help the reader grasp the effect the fish has on the speaker.
The author’s use of literary techniques reveal his attitude of calmness, patience and prosperity in the poem “How to paint a Lily.” His task of painting a Lily is actually very difficult.

Essay 2 By Jayda Smalls Sarah Orne Jewett used regionalism as the literary form of writing. Regionalism is a kind of realistic writing but includes more detail in terms of objects, sights, and characters. It focuses on creating true realistic writings that everyday people can relate to in all aspects of the writing in specific geographical areas. In “A White Heron” written by Sarah Orne Jewett, she uses many literary elements that demonstrate her preferred technique. The central effect of this story is true feelings of a cause and their effect on decisions that are made.
His wonderful novellas The Pearl, Cannery Row, The Red Pony, and Of Mice and Men not only introduce readers to a fascinating, realistic cast of characters, make the hills and seacoast of California and Mexico come to life, but also tell intriguing stories of the lives of real people. Steinbeck's characters are not the rich men and women of California's boom days, but are the homeless, the migrant workers, the poor fishermen, and the farmers. However, each of these people has a deceptively simple, but important story to tell, a story filled with love and pain. The stories tell us not only of the lives of the poor
