How is the story told in chapter 7 of the Kite runner? Hosseini uses Amir’s retrospective narrative to tell the story in chapter 7. The narrator describes the setting saying “The streets glistened with fresh snow” which indicates that older Amir is looking back and reflecting on the kite tournament with initially fond memories as Hosseini choose to use positive adjectives such a “glistening”. However, the connotation of the snow and winter link back to chapter one, where Hosseini acknowledges that the climatic event that “changed everything” happens on as “winter day”. The fact that Hosseini references snow in chapter 7, this foreshows that the climax of the books will take place soon and prepares the reader for the shock that is to come.
In 1936, Alfred Steiglitz (a famous photographer from the early 1900s) gave Ansel a one-man show in his New York gallery. This was an admirable feat because Steiglitz has only done such things for one other young photographer. In 1946, Adams moved to Yosemite Valley, where he focused on his major subject from that point on – western landscapes. His work is a record of the wilderness as it was, the untouched natural environment. He had a strong belief that “photographs were not taken from the environment, but were made into something greater than themselves.” Ansel Adams has produced some of the most beautiful and stunning gelatin silver prints that the world has ever known.
Specifically the "The Lotus-eaters and Choric song" utilises descriptive language to it's full potential to help reveal location and consequently reflect character. Vivid language such as "three silent pinnacles of aged snow" helps create the intense image of the land of the Lotus -eater and consequently the state of mind of the sailors. Tennyson also uses alliteration and assonance within his descriptive language such as Subsequently, Austen uses descriptive language rather differently. Her use of detail is precise, compact and sharp. Her language is also archaic, suited to the context and time.
He embraced the Pagan value of making a name for himself and creating his own legacy, which is the opposite of what Christians are taught to do. The poem as a whole shows the remarkable similarity between the way Christians in 500 AD handled revenge and the way Pagans handled it. This contrast of values (those of the author and those of the culture of the poem) created a written work that is culturally and religiously ambiguous; it is neither strictly Christian nor strictly Pagan. When the highly praised hero Beowulf arrived in Denmark, a great feast was prepared in his honor. The Danes admired Beowulf, which infuriated their greatest warrior Unferth.
I think the topic of cultural expectations is perfect for this novel because it is blatantly discussed about on numerous occasions throughout the novel. The story deals with the idea of the cultural dissimilarity between White Canadians (Wemistikoshiw) and the Cree characters. To be specific it deals with the concept of assimilation and how some characters reject it and others accept it. Take Elijah’s character for example, he is quite elated when his fellow Caucasian soldiers give him an English alternative (WhiskeyJack) to his original Cree name. After Xavier gets word of this he concludes, “Whiskeyjack is how they say his name, make it their own...what sounds to my ears like a longer word for bastard, making his name a name without a family” (Boyden 145).
The technique of setting creates a stark contrast that makes the novel a success. Whenever Wharton describes the landscape, she uses cold adjectives, but when she describes Mattie she often uses “warm” adjectives. She uses also shades of gray, white, and black when describing the land, yet uses brighter colors for descriptions of Mattie. Here are two of my favorite examples that illustrate my point. Cold images are underlined, while warm images are italicized.

The Village of North Conway “The wilderness is near as well as dear to every man. Even the oldest villages are indebted to the border of wild wood which surrounds them, more than to the gardens of men” said by the famous Henry David Thoreau in 1906 describing the bungalows and villages along the way up the Merrimack River. I find his writing interesting and true, and his quote of course captures what I believe to be nature and the wild nestled in a town by the name of North Conway, a heavenly and popular town, known for its outdoor festivities and outlets in the beautiful Carroll County in the mountainous Washington national forest. The town is always alive and full of energy, from the cold frozen over winter months to the sometimes sweltering heat of the summer time, there is always something going on. Then again North Conway is the largish village in the town of Conway, which is nestled in the glorious basin of MT Washington to the west and Merriman forest towards
However, In A Blizzard under Blue Sky, the narrator explains to us the setting, “It was February, the month in which depression runs rampant in the inversion- cloaked Salt Lake Valley and the city dwellers escape to Park City, where the snow is fresh and the sun is shining and everybody is happy, expect me.” (Houston 575). This shows how the setting for this story was somewhere in the northern states like Utah. Also that it was in the winter other than in the first story where it was summer. These are some examples that demonstrate the difference in setting between the two
With the Allies constructing and occupying twelve thousand miles, we conclude that the Germans alone built and occupied thirteen thousand miles (Fussel, p. 37). It seems that the British trenches were often wet and cold and often smelly (Fussel, p.43). In comparison to the Germans, who’s trenches were deep, clean, elaborate, and most of the time comfortable (Fussel, p.44). I would have to think that morale on the German side would be higher due to these living conditions. When reading “The Fatigue”, Henri speaks of being in town and the beautiful weather and the happiness of the soldiers.
