The addition of the last two paragraphs can be interpreted as Robert Walton showing off his accomplishments rather than being concerned about his sister. The vivid imagery of these last two paragraphs, and words such as "crown", "stars", "triumph", and "heaven" serve to convey a sense of hierarchy on Walton. Thematically, the letters intend to convey a similar effect on the reader. Both versions begin in an almost exact way and start by empathizing with Mrs. Saville as well as depicting the experiences that Robert Walton has lived. In the last paragraphs, however, it starts to develop into a more personal story by
However, it is essential to recognize more than the symbolic relevance while analyzing a text. The semiotics of each glove provides a lucid understanding as to why the gloves are particularly meaningful within the culture of each story’s plot. For the sake of closely analyzing the importance of the gloves both between Dee and her brothers to their father, as well as Holden to his younger brother, Allie, it is important to recognize that the glove is representing a deceased figure within both of their lives. Although their cultures run completely parallel to one another, they are also tied together through the semiotics of each individual glove. A glove represents the way you handle certain situations, or getting a handle on the problem.
He had been taught to reserve judgements about other people as if he was to compare them to himself he may misunderstand them. The readers learn more about the narrator in the form of a character as nick caraway reveals his past, education, social knowledge etc. The reader also realises further in the opening chapters that the narrator/character Nick Carraway goes against his words and upbringing in the brief mention of jay Gatsby and he judges him “there was something gorgeous about him”. This therefore gives the readers the impression that nick is a hypocritical character and could possibly be a biased narrator. F Scott FitzGerald presents Nick Carraway as a character and narrator by showing in Nick’s own way that he has come “back from the East last autumn” fed up off his experiences there.
Discuss the theme of family, as presented by Heaney in ‘Digging’ and ‘Follower’. The poems Digging and Follower by Seamus Heaney both are powerful expressions of the poet's admiration and respect for his father. Heaney strongly stresses his relationship with his father by creating a forceful comparison between himself and his dad and by doing so raises another important issue that is present throughout both poems, the significance of change. However, despite the depiction of the father in both poems seems quite similar at first glance, it later is evident that there are nevertheless certain differences between the two images created. Follower and Digging both give a clear account of Heaney's feelings towards his father with particular emphasis on the poet's response to the physical labour of his father.
Andrew Eyres 14/2/2013 Question: Explain the ways that aspects of a text construction are used to explore ideas. In the short story, Big World, The author, Tim Winston is able to promote the idea that friendship should be built out of respect and loyalty and not the thrill power and intelligence through his use of characterisation; namely through the unnamed narrator and his “best friend” Biggie Botson. Through out the story, it starts become clear that these two have an unstable friendship. This first becomes noticeable when the narrator says ‘I suppose we are wrong for each other, Biggie and me.’ Secondly becoming concrete as the narrator
Write some of the ways Fitzgerald tells the story in Chapter One Chapter one begins with Nick, our narrator, talking about his upbringing. He talks of his strong relationship with his father and how he taught him to reserve judgement about other people, because if he holds them up to his own moral standards, he will misunderstand them. On the first page of the chapter it is clear that the story has already happened, his first paragraph includes words like “When I came back...” and “last autumn...” suggesting events from the past. Also in these first few words we gain an understanding into the ideas he has and a judgement into the past. When he came back he says “...I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention for ever” This suggests that he experienced immoral behaviour and wants change.
Importance and Significance of the Nadsat language in A Clockwork Orange -What is the language, how is it explained (Blake Morrison in his introduction, and Dr Brodsky) -Alex’s name that trough the Nadsat language means without, or outside the law. -In the beginning the reader will have trouble understanding the book, that produces a number of effects: discomfort, by not understanding, and therefor not knowing if its hostile or not. Later you start to understand the Nadsat language, which creates a connection with Alex and the reader. speaking the same language as Alex, through this connection it is easier to sympathies with Alex and to not look at him as a criminal, but as a victim of the system. -In nadsat style, addressing the reader with ‘’O my brothers’’ creates a more personal bond with Alex, and their for it is easier for the reader to sympathize with Alex even though he is such a flawed character.
That could include the love of two brothers toward each other, .the change in life, and its effects on their relationship. As I mentioned above, I was really inspired by one of the themes of the story that how life cannot be condensed into a single
“Stevens’ fervent belief in the importance of dignity prevents him from experiencing a full and satisfying life.” How important is the theme of dignity to the novels of Kazuo Ishiguro? In Remains of the day there is a reoccurring theme of dignity and it become obvious to the reader that this over welling need to be proud stifles the characters personality but also their life. The question of dignity arrises throughout the two generations in the book; Stevens and his father, this indicates how the repercussions of Mr. William Stevens obsessive nature affects his son, but dignity is also found in the form of proper gentlemen, as well as butlers who allow nothing to distract or faze them from doing their duty. Dignity is described as: ‘the state or quality of being worthy of honour or respect’, the desire to posses this ‘honourably’ reputation becomes evident when Stevens starts to describe a ‘great butler’. He claims that ‘They wear their professionalism as a decent gentleman will wear his suit’ this analogy proves that Stevens’ role as a butler means much more to him than a mere occupation.
Another misapprehension that encircles this practice is the aspect of choice. Does an arranged marriage inhibit an individuals' freedom and independence? No. The difference is simply that whole families are involved together in both considering the best options and in helping to achieve what is wanted and is particularly fitting in a social system which stresses on the need for family support and shared expectations. This is where the clear distinction between arranged and forced marriages are seen.
