Tools Used In The Writing Of Short Stories
Words: 526 - Pages: 2.... do.
Thomas Wolfe shows in "The Child by Tiger," that dealing with the
pressures of racism in the rural south can cause ones barrier against it to
finally collapse. In this story, Thomas Wolfe uses the repeated symbol of
the cat to show that Dick Prosser was like a caged animal that wanted to
lash out at the world, and when pushed to the edge, the symbolic cage

Emily Dickinson
Words: 878 - Pages: 4.... The tone
in Dickinson’s poem will put its readers’ ideas on a unifying track heading towards a
boggling atmosphere.
Dickinson’s masterpiece lives on complex ideas that are evoked through symbols, which
carry her readers through her poem. Besides the literal significance of —the "School,"
"Gazing Grain," "Setting Sun," and the "Ring"—much is gathered to complete the poem’s
central idea. Emily brought to light the mysteriousness of life’s cycle. Ungraspable to
many, the cycle of one’s life, as symbolized by Dickinson, has three stages and then a
final stage of eternity. These three st .....
