Thorton Wilder’s use of two women who are virtually the same serves as an example of how the woman in Grover’s Corners act. In fact, Wilder’s use of these two women enforces the small town mentality, in which everyone should live by a set standard.

Robert Frost Five Poems
Words: 1593 - Pages: 6.... things in life. Regardless of size Frost understands that a life is a life, and all lives are important. The imagery in this poem is very clear to me. I can picture an old man trying to blow a piece of dirt off the paper. Then the piece of dirt starts moving, as he sees what he believes to be a dot on the paper but really to be a mite. The old man then starts to think about the value of life. The theme of the poem is that there is no such thing as an insignificant speck. Everything and everyone has a purpose for being here. This poem is filled with alliteration. Some examples I found are: cunning crept, tenderer-than-thou, and breathing .....

Ezra Pound, Imagism, And The Influence Of The Orient
Words: 1411 - Pages: 6.... what we know about Imagism as a movement and a philosophy.
The doctrine, which came to be known as Imagism is guided by three simple tenets, set forth by Pound, “H.D.” (Hilda Doolittle), and Richard Aldington in 1912. The first states that the “thing” dealt with will be done so directly, whether subjectively or objectively (Spirit of Romance p.219). Pound insisted that the poem must present to the reader an active image, not a mere description of events or setting. Pound’s model for his directness was the prose of nineteenth century French authors such as Flaubert and DeMaupassant (Hakatuni p.48-49).
The second tenet of .....

about his seat in the class, it gave me the impression that he was very
proud of it. Gregory then talks about how he thought that the teacher
loved him. It's a shame that he didn't realize everyone felt sorry for him.
It was Gregory's ignorance that caused him to feel humility, but it
was his teacher that made him realize it. As far as Gregory was concerned,
the day of collection for the needy was his time to shine. In front of
the whole class, including the girl of his dreams, he was going to lie and
show how proud he was of .....
