Artist As A Young Man Portrait Of The Artist
1,063 wordsDantes The Hermaphroditic Joyce One of the most powerful nuances of any writing is the dialogue within the story. In literature, it is all too often that characters live only in the jaded voice of the author and never truly develop as their own, or are not strongly opinionated in a manner which contrasts the opinions of the writer. It is also unfortunately true that the women depicted in most male-authored literature do not often sound realistic, or how most women one would speak to in the cours...

Catcher In The Rye Holden
1,728 wordsThe Catcher in the Rye, just like all other great works, was met by scornful criticism and unyielding admiration. However, many literary critics also marveled at Salinger? s genius use of language, which was used to make Holden Caulfield, the main character, unbelievably realistic. Such language includes both repetition of phrases and blatant cursing, in order to capture the informal speech of the average, northeastern American adolescent. Through Holden? s thoughts and dialogues, Salinger succe...

Pride And Prejudice Character Of Mr Bennet
1,780 words'Any man who tries to argue Jane Austen's ability to draw characters would be undoubtedly a fool, for the authors talent in that area of prose is hard to match. However even the most ardent fans of Austen will have to agree with the fact that the personages she creates are not appealing to every man. An exception to that trend in this readers opinion would be the character of Mr. Bennet, who by his sharp wit and stark realism alone redeems Pride and Prejudice for any audience who under other cir...

Boston Houghton Mifflin Reading And Writing
876 wordsWhats Ideally Real? What is ideal and what is real? We seem to have this idealized concept of what love is supposed to be like according to the way society has molded us. Perhaps these ideals are more about the self than they are about a relationship between two people. We want to feel loved, and when we get that love from another person we become determined to secure that feeling. By securing these feelings we lean towards controlling that relationship. However, control is merely a way of fabri...

The Youths indoctrination into the glories of warfare gets him to the battle, but what keeps him there is something much less based in ideas.
