Dialect and Culture in American Literature In

of art, it has to stand the test of time. It has
to be unique and it must also separate itself from
the mass quantities of words which are merely
written down on paper. It must have character, and
when read by the audience it will take on a
special meaning for that individual. What better
way of capturing the audiences attention is there
than with the use of dialect and culture? It

Glass Menagerie World Of Illusion

The illusion in the play starts in scene even
before the stage direction at the beginning one
where it is clear that Amanda peruses illusions
from the very first moment we meet her. Being a
memory play, it is dimly lighted, it is
sentimental, it is not realistic page 3. The fact
that Tom acts as both narrator and as a character
in the play immediately suggests the transitory
and illusory nature of memory. Indeed Roger Bill,
in his book Tennessee Williams says the play is

That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told
the truth, mainly. There was things which he
stretched, but mainly he told the truth (1). Those
are among the first lines in The Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn, so its obvious from the very

major theme in the book. Huckleberry Finn is a
liar throughout the whole novel but unlike other
characters, his lies seem justified and moral to
the reader because they are meant to protect
himself and Jim and ar...

Fitzgerald Has Created Death Of Gatsby

The value of reading a text closely is that you
can see what the writer is doing- how he or she
has used structure or setting or characters or a
particular point of view or some aspect of
language to direct the readers response. Show how
the writer has used one or more of these to direct

F Scott Fitzgerald Jay Gatsby

The Great Gatsby, a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald,
is set in 1922 in the New York City area. It is
about the American Dream and those who attempt to
reach its illusionary goals. Jay Gatsby acquires
the wealth and the power of his dream but not the
happiness. We have to wonder why F. Scott
Fitzgerald would write such a book. Was it to
reflect the society of the 1920 s: where either
you had money and the dream, or you were poor and
lived amongst the ashes. You could have the chance
of being like th...
