backgrounds; they usual have parents who rarely
use English as conversational language at home. It
constitutes a great difficulty for such children,
as they cannot keep up with the rest of students,

Sam And Eric Lord Of The Flies
660 words
Viewing the Text from a Different Perspective Many
times in novels the elements of setting, mood and
tone are used to extend beyond the words in a text
and elaborate the reader s mind into imagining the
actual events taking place. In the classic novel,
Lord of the Flies, William Golding utilizes the
setting, mood and tone in great detail to reflect
how the characters think, act and feel. Upon a
desolate tropical island, a group of boys of
different characteristics get marooned when their

Puritan Religion Black Veil
1,362 words
Pure Criticism In Hawthorne's short story The
Ministers Black Veil, the extent to which the
Puritan parson repents for his sin is a direct
critique of the Puritan religion by Hawthorne.

that the Puritan religion is one of an excessive
and almost absurd nature. Although all religions
have their seemingly irrational and superfluous
rituals, the dogma of the seventeenth century
Puritan religion was rigid and sometimes outright
bizarre. The church set...

Literary Devices Good Deal

Huck is very responsive to the beauty of the
natural world about him. He uses vivid imagery to
describe nature in a peculiar way, which one can
even consider out of character for him. His word
choice, general attitude, use of literary devices,
and the use of words which describe the sounds as
they happened, all add to his vivid description of
the summer storm. Huck's reaction is unusual
because up to this point in the story the
impression of Huck that the reader has is one of a

Noir Lighting Style Bright Sunny Day Dark

My Darling Clementine to me didnt stick out as a
particularly dark movie. I will agree that there
were a lot of dark scenes in it but not enough to
distract me toward the idea of this being a
particularly dark film as a whole. However the
dark noir lighting style that was used to bring
the night scenes to life certainly added something
to it. Usually when I think of film noir, I tend
to think of movies like Batman. There the lighting
reflects the moral and physical issues behind the
motives of t...
