Open The Door Gregor Samsa
814 wordsDespite appearances which may seem to promote a sense of comedy, Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis actually contains an enormous quantity of symbolism, which serves to underscore several literal events which may have taken place in said story. Within the novella, many literary techniques are employed in order to contribute to the depth of the story line, with symbolism being the most prevalent, though not the sole method. These other literary tools are secondary in their nature, but they remain qu...

Meaning Of The Poem Lewis Carroll
670 wordsIn Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky the use of imagination is a must. Carroll makes up words with rhyming sounds. This confuses the reader a little, but strangely enough you get some kind of an idea of what he is writing about. This is where the imagination comes in. When I heard these bizarre rhyming words for the first time my initial thought was that this poem doesn't make any sense. As I read on and certain words would go through my head, bells started going off, filling my head with ideas about ...

What Business Can Learn From Open Source
2,116 wordsLately companies have been paying more attention to open source. Ten years ago there seemed a real danger Microsoft would extend its monopoly to servers. It seems safe to say now that open source has prevented that. A recent survey found 52 % of companies are replacing Windows servers with Linux servers. [ 1 ] More significant, I think, is which 52 % they are. At this point, anyone proposing to run Windows on servers should be prepared to explain what they know about servers that Google, Yahoo, ...

Title Significance Heart Of Darkness

It has its symbolic meaning also. Darkness is the leading theme of the novel. Darkness overshadows almost everything in the novel...

Scarlet Letter Abstract Form Hawthorne's
