Hills Like White Elephants Material Objects
912 words
In Hills Like White Elephants Ernest Hemingway
relies on symbolism to convey the theme of
abortion. The symbolic material objects, as well
as the strong symbolic characters, aid the readers
understanding of the underlying theme. The
material objects that Hemingway uses to convey the
theme are beer, the good and bad hillsides, and a
railroad station between two tracks. The beer
represents the couples, the American and the
girls, usual routine activity they do together.
This bothers the girl becau...

17 Th Century Act 1 Scene 1
953 words
The Tempests first scene is unlike most of the
openings in Shakespeare's plays, in that it is
very much action-oriented. Instead of properly
introducing some of the main characters, or
setting up an important plot strand, this opening
scene appears to be only an attention-grabbing
device. This statement can be made quite
justifiably, due to the fact that all the events
of Act 1 Scene 1 are recounted in the following
scene, in the conversations between Miranda,
Prospero and Ariel. Under ordinary ...

The Nick Adams stories were my favorite of the
collection because I got to know Nick through the
reading. I started to understand Nick and I could
anticipate the actions and feelings that he was
feeling. I am not sure if this is because I became

Color And Form Madame Matisse Artist
700 words
Matisse, Henri +mile Be t (1869 - 1954), French
artist, leader of the fauve group, regarded as one
of the great formative figures in 20 th-century
art, a master of the use of color and form to
convey emotional expression. Matisse was born in
Le Cateau in northern France on December 31, 1869.
The son of a middle-class family, he studied and

Point Of View Told The Truth

In this discussion I call upon two movies as
examples and evidence to examine the role of mass
media in politics. The two movies I will use for
this basis are The Candidate and All the
Presidents Men. Today, the art of governing a
society seems to be much dictated or prescribed by
what the assemblage of the citizens of the United
States say or express to the mass media. Thus, the
government and politicians listening to and acting
upon our very wishes and desires. Or looking at
this in another po...

T S Eliot Thoughts And Ideas

Question: Depending on the language used, poetry
either delights the senses or fills one with
despair. Discuss. Poetry is an art form and
different poets use varying descriptive language
techniques to paint the images that they choose to
present. The works of T. S. Eliot, Gwen Harwood
and Robert Frost from the anthology Limes to Time
is of no exception. Eliot portrays contrasting
images and ideas in many of his poems often
leaving the reader in complete despair, but at
other times feeling a sens...

Many gilded monuments of princes have risen over
the ages, but they are swept aside by time.
However, the poems and memories of loved ones
shall shine more [brightly] than any statue in
history, for all time. William Shakespeare in
sonnet 55 uses diction, allusion, and other
significant devices to convey how throughout time,
war, and death the memories of loved ones will
never be tainted or destroyed. These statues of
the princes will crumble because they are tainted
by the spoils and ominous of...

Begins To Feel Mothers Death
601 words
In L Etranger, Camus uses Mersault's experiences
such as his mothers death, killing the Arab, the
trial, and his interactions with other characters
throughout the novel to convey his philosophy,
which satisfies all principals of existentialism.
To convey his existentialist philosophy, Camus
uses the death of Mersault's mother in the
beginning of the novel. On the first page,
Mersault is more concerned about the exact time of
his mothers death, and not the fact that he
recently lost a loved one. ...

Understanding Of Human Nature Point In The Story
1,904 words
In 1726, Jonathan Swift published a book for
English readers. Primarily, however, Gulliver s
Travels is a work of satire. Gulliver is neither a
fully developed character nor even an altogether
distinguishable persona; rather, he is a satiric
device enabling Swift to score satirical points
(Radio 124). Indeed, whereas the work begins with
more specific satire, attacking perhaps one
political machine or aimed at one particular
custom in each instance, it finishes with the most
savage onslaught on ...

Benet is truly an exemplary short story which
instills upon the reader the very difficult
struggle between good and evil, heaven and hell.
The purpose for writing this piece was to convey
the message that, at times, it is necessary to
gamble everything one has in order to improve his
or her life and that of their families. Benet
manages to convey this message in the story
through his many uses of literary techniques such
as foreshadowing and chara...

Clay We Are Created Reader A Clear Story

Patterns are a very important part of any novel.
It takes a delicate skill of the writers to
manipulate these patterns so that they do what is
intended. If the writer has control of his word
choice and clearly reveals these patterns to the
reader, it makes the book stronger and
understandable. The use of patterns is to convey
an underlying meaning. If these patterns are not
revealed strongly to the reader, the book may seem
confusing and the message or plot of the story may
be misunderstood. In?...

Stylistic Analysis of Madam Matisse: The Green
Line Henry Matisse, one of the most influential
members of the Fauve movement, was responsible for
much of the attention brought to it and its
respective members. One of his works, Madame
Matisse: The Green Line, more or less serves as an
excellent example of what he was trying to
accomplish in art: the use of color to express and
convey emotions. The composition of the work
consists of a portrait of Madame Matisse in the
