Cowan Donovan Mrs. Poirier English 122 26 September 2014 “The large ant” and Formalism Formalism is a very harmonic style of literary criticism. To be a formalist is to believe that all parts to a story work together and follow a set line of criteria. Only what is on the page is taken into account. Although formalism is a well-known style, it is not appropriate for Howard Fast’s short story “The Large Ant”. Using Formalism to interpret cannot be effective because the readers need to understand the background information.
(chapter 2, pg 145) Note: my page numbers probably don't match your but the chapter will Point: Steinbeck’s use of the character of Curley’s Wife is the only female character in the novella. Steinbeck uses different ways to show the importance of Curley’s wife. Evidence: No characters in the novella care for Curley’s Wife and very little attention is given to her. However many of the men only see her as an object. I think Steinbeck conveys that idea by his description of her.
His depiction of the treaty signing shows that the event was dominated by woman, John Taylor’s illustration was the opposite of Wolf’s painting. Why did the White artist ignore the many native women who were present at the treaty signing? Do you think this omission was deliberate or unintentional due to cultural bias? I believe that John Taylor deliberately omitted the native women who were present at the signing of the treaty that day. I believe that he felt that the native women did not play a significant role in the signing of the treaty.
Peter Skrzynecki’s poems such as ‘10 Mary Street’, Feliks Skrzynecki ‘The Folk Museum’ and ‘Ancestors’ I feel, all show a sense of detachment and not belonging. The Folk museum and ‘Ancestors’ both show that the author may have lost a sense of belonging to his heritage and culture and now cannot find a new sense of being be part of these areas. Through this I believe that it
TJ Rigg Mrs. King English IA 27 Apr. 2009 The Controversial Poem: An Analysis of “The Road Not Taken” In today’s world, there are many people who consider themselves to be a one person, individual, or a loner. Examples of this include people who think that because they have a tattoo, piercing, or something of that nature, then that makes them their own unique person. Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” is about being an individual whose choice has nothing to do with today’s version of an individual. Although this person is never completely identified, there are two possibilities as to who the character could be.
Furthermore the use of the pronouns “I” and “They” highlights the contrast between belonging to a group and the isolation of the individual. Peter then chooses to leave in the last stanza and it is shown that he chooses not to belong to the place in the line “And I leave without wanting a final look”. Before Peter leaves the caretaker attempts to make a connection when her hand touches his which is a contrast to her “cold touch” and “grey clay bottle” mentioned earlier in the poem. She asks politely “Would you please sign the Visitor’s book?” accentuates that Peter is an outsider to the place and it is an invitation to
“My Betty not goin’ die” (crucible 8)… 2. “No, no, sir, I don’t truck with no devil” (Crucible 43)! Both of these quotes are uses of colloquial writing because neither uses formal writing structure but does use illiterate slang. Syntax Formal: The arrangement of word and phrases to create well-formed sentences in a language Own: A proper way to write a sentence in different languages Examples: “Whose hearts are mountains, roots are trees, it’s they shall cry hello to the spring what if a dawn of a doom of a dream bites this universe in two” (Cummings 602). 2.

According Beyonce’s interview, she didn’t have time to rehearse with the orchestra, and due to the weather, due to the delay, due to no proper sound check, she make the best
Furthermore, the line after the quote “Philosophy – don’t know” adds additional information towards it, “And through a Riddle, at the last – Sagacity, must go –” Sagacity which means ‘Wisdom’, could be that logic and wisdom won’t help to understand the after life, also a riddle doesn’t give out the answers bluntly, you have to use knowledge to make up the answers, so there is no straight answers for the ideas of afterlife. The structure of Dickinson’s poem ‘This World is not Conclusion’ is the only poem on the collection that starts with a full stop “This
