In Erich Maria Remarque’s book, All Quiet on the Western Front, nature appears as a means of projecting the mood of the book. There are many instances of nature that affect Paul and how he thinks of war and how both nature and war have changed him. In chapter one for example, the mood is placed by how nature is being described. The first chapter has descriptions about how the flowers and butterflies were so beautiful even if it was a war zone. "The grasses sway their tall spears; the white butterflies flutter around and float on the warm wind of the late summer."
Dandelions are also known to be happy flowers so this sets the mood in a more soothing and calming place. The poet also uses imagery to lighten the mood up. “And a jumble of skirts spilled onto the ploughed grass,” could be portrayed in a mental image of the clothes scattering around from the laundry truck. It makes the mood less tense because instead of rather describing the horrible images of the accident, the poet decides to describe the little details of it. There was also an internal rhyme in that line which was “skirts and shirts”.
He liked his wife. He liked to stroll by the river with a fowling piece and have a go at the birds. He liked to smoke a pipe” (Morgan 6), one can infer that certain parts of Winthrop’s life remained un-modernized. 2. What effect did Puritanism have on Winthrop’s view of the world and his role in it?
The novel begins with a rich description of the setting. Steinbeck uses descriptive language to indicate that the area is a place of rest. The specific colors, foliage, and animals that are mentioned create a respite, even for those boys and men from the ranches who beat a path to the water. For example, Steinbeck uses the following images to suggest that this place is a place of comfort and that the Salinas River is a sanctuary. Examples: • “The water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool” (p.1).
Patterson’s inclusive language ‘we grieve to disappoint you’ reveals that the voice of protection is not only Patterson’s but rather the distinctive voice of country society. Patterson’s logos ‘Where the sun-baked earth was gasping like a creature in its pain, You would find the grasses waving like a field of summer grain’ illustrates that if Lawson was willing to journey through the bush with an open mind and at the correct time of year instead of visualising a sunbaked earth he would visualise the lush green grass full and rich. Patterson continues to reveal his patriotism through the glorification of the bush ‘Did you hear no sweeter voices in the music of the bush’ visually demonstrates the magnificent country life, and confirms Patterson’s distinctive patriotic

Foreshadowing is one of the elements of style which make "The Scarlet Ibis" great. For example, the author states, "The last graveyard flowers were blooming, and their smell drifted [through] our house, speaking softly the names of our dead." This passage clearly foreshadows the death of Doodle. Also, Hurst comments on Doodle's full name, "William Armstrong," that "such a name sounds good only on a tombstone," again foreshadowing Doodle's death. Later, Doodle's cries of "Don't leave me!
A journey can be physical, imaginative, spiritual, emotional and anything you want it to be. The journeys that have been analysed are two Coleridge poems; This Lime Tree Bower My Prison and Frost at Midnight, and two related texts; Australian Summer and The Wizard of OZ. This Lime Tree Bower My Prison has been written in conversational form, as it is a letter addressed to his dear friend Charles Lamb. The opening lines of the poem are colloquial and direct. This is established when he says “Well, they are gone and here I must remain, this lime tree bower my prison”, this really gives us a sense of confinement associating his current location as a prison.
Birds Essay John James Audubon, author of Ornithological Biographies, conveys his outlook on a flock of birds that surrounds him overhead; in comparison, Annie Dillard, author of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, intimates her deepest thoughts on this wonder. In light of this, each author dissimilarly conveys an intense affection for birds; Audubon asserts a scientific and objective approach, whereas Dillard provides a more spiritual and less objective perspective. Although both authors love birds, their viewpoints differ on a magnified level. Taking a scientific approach on the subject, Audubon views the sky as “filled with pigeons... the light of noonday was obscured as by an eclipse...” (16-17). Providing figurative language, Audubon compares the darkness of a group of pigeons to a rare scientific phenomenon that only an intellectual might consider.
“The Lesson of the Moth” In society today there are two main different types of people, the free spirited individuals and the conservative individuals. The free spirits believe to live in the moment and die doing something that makes them happy while the conservatives believe to live in routine and stick to “playing it safe”. In Don Marquis’s poem, “The Lesson of the Moth”, Don uses a moth and a cockroach, named Archy, to portray those two personalities. The poem dives deep into how people go about their lives, a touchy subject for some, and how they view each other. The poem starts off with Archy giving the reader the setting and an idea that the moth is suicidal, but the next stanza explains that the moth and the cockroach do not understand each other’s lives.
