in the novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, setting plays a crucial role in the advancement of the plot. It helps the reader get a feel for the mood and tone. Steinbeck use of words describes setting in a way never before seen, it is complex and yet easy to understand. The novel Of Mice and Men shows Steinbeck's use of words brilliantly, the novel has 4 major settings the clearing by the pond, the bunkhouse, Crook's room, and the barn. Each setting has its own very important addition to the books vividness.
This captivates viewers and focuses their attention on the words meant to be focused on, keeping viewers interested. The consistent rhyme and meter makes the lines flow and keep the audience in rhythm with the performers, this ensures the audience follows along and understands the story and stays involved with the plot, Metaphors are used several times to paint a picture in the viewer’s mind. An example of this is when Hamlet says “Examples gross as earth exhort me” (IV.iv.45). Hamlet is explaining that the fact that he must take revenge is as apparent as the fact that there is ground beneath his feet. Another use of a metaphor occurs when Hamlet compares the soldiers marching to battle, and ultimately their deaths, to people going to bed, “Go to their graves like beds” (IV.iv.61).

Huckleberry states, “It felt good and all washed clean of sin for the first time I had ever felt so in my life, and I knowed I could pray now” (XXXI, 213) It is the river and what Huckleberry encounters on the river that helps him find purpose behind his own character. Although Huckleberry is a young boy, he depends on the river to help him find adventure and his identity. He states, “…a big storm after midnight with a power of thunder and lightning…we stayed in the wigwam and let the raft take care of itself” (XII,66) Huck leaves Pap and St. Petersburg because he desires to begin his journey. In search for his significance, Huckleberry begins to feel attached to the river and becomes dependent on it for sustenance, the most important being that it provides them with comfortable transportation towards freedom. Huck states, “We catched fish and talked, and we took a swim now and then to keep off the sleepiness.
The Text states that Moliere wrote many different types of plays and they were well known for their timeless characters, which is still well known. The article also states that Wilbur’s approach to translation is informative and he often gives importance to “rhyming solutions”. I find it interesting that he argues that creating natural verse is a matter of patience, and creating rhymes that sound new.

Of course, all books are more descriptive.
Travis Boehnlein AP English Literature Bartleby Analytical Essay Herman Melville has been known for his highly comparable writings, and his short story, “Bartleby, the Scrivener” is no exception. A classically humorous and educational read, this story displays the author’s combined use of irony, light humor, and imagery to weave his theme, which of course is that even though the pen is mightier than the sword, willpower is mightier than the pen.
