For example, Walker states, "I was unprepared for the expression in Blue. Blue was lonely. Blue was horribly lonely and bored.” Walker at this point feels compassion towards Blue and realizes that he is in need of a companion. She also feels that she has the ability to help him by giving him apples and trying to cheer him up. Additionally, Walker describes a "look of grief" in Blues eyes as being very human-like to her.
Vivian tried to live her life through Donne. As Professor E.M. was talking to Vivian they discussed John Donne and his poetry. “Death shall be no more- comma- Death thou shalt die” (Edson, 1999, p. 30). This phrase was one that was restated throughout W;t. Towards the end of Vivian’s battle against cancer she tried to state the phrase one last time. Vivian stated it in a different way, “ Death- capital D- shall be no more- semicolon.
Nichols uses a essential of life "water" to introduce what the poem will be like: her describing how much Nichols needed her. Next Larkin says "Not the usual stuff about being beautiful" He does this as if to say that he is not going to say anything about being perfect "the usual stuff" (informal tone suggests he intends it to make the poem quite plain.). However he does wish that if one of these exceptional qualities shine through, she should have a happy life like that "And should it prove possible, well, you're a lucky girl." (once again the use of the informal "well" furthers the sense of plainness.) Nichols however uses a very different tone, she uses words such as "pull", "mantling", "warm" and "replenishing" to say that her mother was essential to how she is now.
Animals: Hope amidst Devastation Symbolism is a very important literary device in many novels. Symbols help to communicate important messages, themes or ideas in a novel in shorter and more meaningful sentences. They are used to tell or represent something else as it has a relationship with it. In Timothy Findley’s The Wars, there is one symbol present throughout the entirety of the novel-animals. Numerous animals are mentioned many times throughout this novel.
How does Martin portray the character of Manon after and before her mother’s death in part 2 of the novel? We find that even before the death of Manon’s Mother she is still quiet and very observant of her surroundings; we especially see this when they are on their journey to Manon’s mother, who at this stage is very poorly and at death stage. For someone who is entering a cholera infested city she is calm and normal, which is rather peculiar in a sense but it tells the reader how preoccupied her thoughts are. Manon’s philosophical mind set is presented to us when she is on the journey and begins to wander in her extremely deep thoughts; we learn especially when she describes the dead bodies’ feet as if they are ‘seeking one last step upon this world’. From a reader’s perspective this is very deep in terms of how it’s described to us but not only that, it introduces us to the way she see’s things which in this case is very dystopian.
After a Death by Roo Borson 410182017 王彥翔 I think this poem is absolutely stunning because of the vivid imagery that is set up in such a simple short poem. I like this poem because it sets up such a strong feeling of sadness and comfort in only eight lines. Although she doesn’t directly tell us she has truly lost someone, we can obviously observe that the speaker uses a chair for a metaphor of the girl’s love toward the lost lover. However, the speaker doesn’t exactly explain her love. In the poem, "her love" may be talking about her father or a lover because the poem is unclear.

Mayella is destroyed by the way she was raised, she was abused by her father and therefore exploiting her innocence.
In this short story, it is through her experiences, that she realizes she is no longer living, hence the last line of the story, (Rhys, 1976) “That was the first time she knew.” Although the story may seem basic at first, the ending can be quite surprising. You will find in this story, an underlying theme as the plot thickens with symbols of life, experiences and the spiritual world. The author, Jean Rhys, begins this story as the narrator telling the story of a woman on a journey in a limited omniscient view. Clungston (2010) explains in the Journey into Literature, “A limited omniscient point of view is when the thoughts and feelings of only one of the characters are related through the narrator.” In this story, it is just that, as the narrator, who in this story describes a woman who is not given a name or any type of background, guides the reader onto a journey in which she explains the little things the woman is experiencing and remembering as she walked along on that fine blue day. The narrator continues to engage the reader on how the different things along her walk are not the same as what the woman remembers them to be.
Since we already knew that she was battling depression, we can conclude that this was caused by the death of her husband the previous winter. These “spirits,” which are actually metaphors for her depression, show up once again in the wintertime, reminding her of the
The mock summer house was no longer there and she noticed a car in front of the house as well. When she seen the car it was strange which points out to me that when she was living cars wasn’t around.
