Lost Light Association, Shaping Our Understanding Altering an audience's opinion is a struggle that many writers face; it is always possible, however, to unite the reader with the speaker's position. In Paradise Lost by John Milton, the author attempted to persuade his readers into thinking that the theme of obedience to God will keep you in a blissful state and disobedience will keep you in a wretched state by the use of light in his books. God is associated with a radiant white light; while

Woolf’s A Haunted House, images of darkness and light have numerous symbolic meanings. Light is associated with the presence of the ghostly couple that roams the speaker’s home, but it has symbolic meanings beyond that—it represents the insight and truth the speaker gains from observing the couple.

Driving At Night It’s considered the most dangerous time of day on the road, but as we fall back to shorter days, it’s inevitable that you will at times, find yourself driving at night. Tiredness, a lack of light, compromised night vision and rush hour will all contribute to making driving at night far more dangerous than any other time of the day.
