"A Rose For Emily": A Review
Words: 630 - Pages: 3.... so we can understand the town life as if we
lived there. This way we were able to understand how the people of Jefferson
thought of her. If the story would have been told in first person we would not
have been able to relate to Miss Emily. The reason for that would be, if she
would have been the narrator we would have understood the story in a hole
different manner. Faulkner used third person narration and from that we were
able to find out many things about Miss Emily's past. For instance the death
of her father, the love she had for Homer, and how she felt the need for
affection. Those ideas she would have kept to herself, if .....

The Connection Between Ernest
Words: 1285 - Pages: 5.... Hemingway believed that nature was the ultimate. It was simple, it was beautiful, it was clean. It was perfection. For Hemingway, nature was good. It epitomized all that he stood for. Places with the clutter of men invariably led to pain and suffering or death. Hemingway was really big on simplicity in his works. Everything was simple, from his style, to his characters (ie: Catherine - simpleton if I ever saw one). I think that he likened civilization to a giant machine. The larger and more complex it got, the more things it did. However, when something gets larger and more complex, then that increases the chances and the areas t .....

Paralytic - Sylvia Plath
Words: 1654 - Pages: 7.... anonymous
Talkers: "You all right?"
The starched, inaccessible breast.
Dead egg, I lie
Whole
On a whole world I cannot touch.
At the white, tight
Drum of my sleeping couch
Photographs visit me-
My wife, dead and flat, in 1920 furs,
Mouth full of pearls,
Two girls
As flat as she, who whisper "We're your daughters."
The still waters
Wrap my lips,
Eyes, nose and ears,
A clear
Cellophane I cannot crack.
On my bare back
I smil .....

Tyndale And The Bible
Words: 1297 - Pages: 5.... like many highly placed churchmen, with the idea of the Bible in the vernacular. Tyndale, with the help of Humphrey Monmouth, a merchant of means, left England under a false name and landed at Hamburg in 1524. He had already begun work on the translation of the New Testament. He visited Luther at Wittenberg and in the following year completed his translation. The printing was begun with William Roye, another reformist Cambridge man, at Cologne. But Roye was indiscreet and the work was soon being talked about. The city magistrates, at the behest of the anti-Lutheran theologian Johannes Cochlaeus, ordered the printing to stop. Only a few shee .....

Words: 2958 - Pages: 11.... that most always leads to a downfall of a single person or people. Most tragedies end up on a bad path, because the truth comes out in all directions upon the tragic hero. When, the truth all comes out on the tragic hero he can’t control it and it puts him in a jam. In tragedy, usually the truth is what will cause the downfall of the tragic hero. In every tragedy, there is always more and more complication that adds on to the problem for the tragic hero. All these problems keep adding on until the end when the tragic hero has to accept them all and deal with them. As George Lukas said, “Tragedy can extend only in one di .....

A Jury Of Her Peers
Words: 955 - Pages: 4.... treats each other in ways that are considered offensive by those members of the outside world. One of the most prominent examples is his use of the Christian names, given by their ancestors slave owners; and their nicknames. Before each black person narrates they are introduced, "Grant Bello aka Cherry" (41). Throughout the entire novel all black people have a nickname in which they only allow the "inner world" to refer to them. When Yank is confessing the crime of killing Beau Griffin begins to take down the name "Yank. Y-a-n-" and is corrected "Sylvester J. Battly . Be sure to spell Sylvester and Battly right, if you can" (99). .....

Slaughterhouse Five
Words: 358 - Pages: 2.... Vonnegut, too, who utters the first "So it goes" after relating that the mother of his taxi driver during his visit to Dresden in 1967 was incinerated in the Dresden attack. "So it goes" is repeated after every report of every death. It becomes a mantra of resignation, of acceptance, of a supremely Tralfamadorian philosophy (something we will be introduced to later). But because the phrase is first uttered by Vonnegut writing as Vonnegut, each "So it goes" seems to come directly from the author and from the world outside the fiction of the text.
Chapter One also hints that time will be an important part of the fiction to follow. The author .....

A Tale Of Two Cities

This little scheme might work for television shows in which the viewer has a whole week between episodes to think about possible outcomes, but it doesn’t have the same effect when it only takes half of a second to turn the page and read further.
Dickens tries to create mystery by having his characters as broad as possible so that readers can make up their own opinions and possibilities. Almost all of Dickens’s characters are basically good or basically evil. We are supposed to care about the "good" characters but they’re so boring that their "goodness" .....
