2014 De Voogd’s Article “Imaging Eveline, Visualized Focalizations in James Joyce’s Dubliners”, focuses on the visualization of the reading Dubliners set out to analyze how the text creates images, and how the lay out of the story defines its content. Also in his article he proposes an alternative interpretation for the ending of the short story Eveline. Although I am not sure that I completely agree with the alternative ending, I do however like that this article focuses on the content and how it can be interpreted if only from his point of view.

Nash 1 Lucas W. Nash Dr. Connally English 1020.60 5 October 2014 Analysis of Symbolism: A Birthmark and a Black Veil Nathaniel Hawthorne utilizes symbolism to convey his central themes and ideas to the reader throughout his works and his short stories The Birthmark (1843) and The Minister’s Black Veil (1836) are no exception. A comparative analysis of the heavy-handed symbolism used in these two short stories reveals Hawthorne’s style in his approach to creating his personal narrative of the human condition and also, as I believe these works show, how the effectiveness of these symbols differ as a result of the contemporary cultural context in which they are read. In this paper I am going to display this analysis in four sections. The first section will contain a brief overview of Hawthorne’s works and the central theme that overlies them. Second, I am going to briefly explain the plots of both The Birth Mark and The Minister’s Black Veil including the main uses of symbolism in each.

Modernism: A New Dispensation Modernism is, according to the Academy of American Poet’s explanation, “a new dispensation,” meaning a new set of rules that will make a fundamental change that many European writers came up with after the First World War. This definition was declared by the famous modernist and my reason to interest in modernism, Virginia Woolf. In my opinion, it can be argued that modernism was not only an idea of change but also an effective way an author writes and views a subject. I say this because I think that though modernism seemed to be just a simple change, it created new ways to approach a technique that all writers might be familiar with. This is important since this idea influenced and helped the writers of the future creating writings with modernistic characteristics mentioned by the two well-known modernists, Virginia Woolf and T.S.
13 He thought how 'Jack', cold-footed, useless swine, 14 Had panicked down the trench that night the mine 15 Went up at Wicked Corner; how he'd tried 16 To get sent home, and how, at last, he died, 17 Blown to small bits. And no one seemed to care 18 Except that lonely woman with white hair. Big White Lies: Analytical Essay of The Hero by Siegfried Sassoon In “The Hero”, poet Siegfried Sassoon expresses his contempt towards the hypocrisy of warfare and especially his critical view of the authorities’ attempt at glorifying a soldier’s death. In this poem he provides stark contrast between the harsh truth and reality, employing the use of irony, imagery, contrast, and even alliteration. Firstly, Sassoon effectively uses irony to illustrate the contrast between the soldier’s real and glorified death, as well as the impression of a close-knit military unit, as opposed to the truth that no one had the compassion to care for a fallen soldier.

Mrs. Yvette Anderson English 125: Introduction to Literature Instructor Morrin November 20,2012 In Jean Rhys’ “Used to Live Here Once”, there are several important literary elements that make the short story interesting and a work of art. This paper will discuss the pivotal roles that setting and symbolism play in conveying the character’s journey in Rhys’ work. As defined in chapter 6 of “Journey into Literature”, setting is the time or place in which the action occurs. The setting also places boundaries around the action and defines the environment in which conflicts can be witnessed. Clugston further defines setting as the literary element that provides social perspective of manners and customs, and the concept of local color.
Appropriating a Text Invites us to Consider How Context Affects Values” Write an Essay in which you explain how the values of the original text are preserved or changed in its appropriated form. In your response you should discuss TWO themes and relate them to each novel. Nice Work by David Lodge, an appropriation of Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South, challenges and preserves the values of the original text. The two texts are set in extremely different periods in England, Gaskell’s in Milton in the 1850’s at the height of the Industrial Revolution, Lodge’s in Rummidge in 1986. Many values are supported in Lodge’s appropriation such as the value of change and hard work, although they are altered slightly in order to fit into the context of the appropriated novel.
