One thing I found to be so fascinating was Faulkner's use of making the audience wait for things. Even the mundane could be spun into a mystery. For example, in one of Vardaman's early narrations, he refers to some sort of object, but we, the audience don't know to what specific thing he is referring: "Dewey Dell says it wont be sold because it belongs to Santa Clause and he takin it back with him until next Christmas. Then it will be behind the glass again, shining with waiting"(100). While we have some sense that Vardaman is referring to some sort of toy, Faulkner only provides the basest of context; and by leaving out one minute detail in the narration, effectively spins out a mystery. This makes our discovery of what Vardaman is referring
Richard Kimble, an innocent victim of blind justice, falsely convicted for the murder of his wife and reprieved by fate when a train wreck freed him en route to the death house. He travels around US, trying to stay ahead of the police and to find the real killer. The story is extremely relevant for the time of pitching as it raises the questions of the decade. The Fugitive is truly “conceived amidst anti-communist paranoia in America”(“The Fugitive's fear...” ). It deals with themes of the mistrust of authority and the concern for the downtrodden (“'The Fugitive' reconsidered...”). Although the concept of the series seems quite simple and familiar today, it is a revolution in many ways for the American television of 1960s; it questions the American
After studying American author, Walt Whitman, it is clear that he has had a long lasting impact on society and the lives of authors and artists who came after him. Through works like Democratic Vistas and Song of Myself, Whitman gave American society tools to promote creative expression and the essence of democracy. However, Whitman’s methods had to be adopted over time to touch/bring attention to different social issues. Two authors who were able to branch off of Whitman’s works and ideas were Isadora Duncan and James Baldwin. By analyzing these two important characters of history, we will be able explore two different social issues in two different eras and how Duncan and Baldwin refined Whitman’s approach in order to make a statement in society. It’s significant to identify the importance of these artists because this process is still relevant in today’s society, adapting from Whitman in order to get points across and make a difference.

In his first anthology of poems entitled “Song of Myself”, Walt Whitman reveals some of his views on democracy through the use of symbolism and free verse poetry. His use of symbolism and free verse poetry creates indeterminacy, giving the reader hints rather than answers about the nature of the poem. In the sixth part of “Song of Myself”, a child asks the narrator of the poem, “What is the grass?” (Whitman). Instead of simply giving an answer, the narrator cannot make up his mind, and stumbles on how to explain the grass to the child. Through the use of specific symbolisms, Whitman, as the narrator, explicates his views while remaining under the façade of explaining grass to the child. The views Whitman conveys remain indeterminate and
Whitman's Poem "Out of the Cradle, Endlessly Rocking," is not, at first glance, an obvious love poem. Most readers would probably consider this a tragic poem about death and love lost. In spite of the fact that the poem is about intrinsically sorrowful events, or perhaps because of it, Whitman is able to capture a very unique and poignant portrayal of love. There are three major perspectives to examine how Whitman develops the theme of love in Out of the Cradle, and by examining each reoccurring theme in the poem separately, we can come to a more complete understanding of how they work together to communicate Whitman's message about love.
The Locked Room is the third part of The New York Trilogy published in 1986 by Paul Auster. In this novel, the narrator, a thirty-year-old writer, is propelled precipitously into his past when his long-lost childhood friend, Fanshawe, disappears and leaves him with a fastidious responsibility. Therefore, the writer takes on the task of reviewing a series of poems and novels written by his missing friend during his life. Quickly, he becomes obsessed by the search for Fanshawe and devotes all his energy into finding him, but at what cost.... With this novel, Auster redefines the detective genre, as he turns the investigation into a more metaphysical one, a search for the self, for the identity. It would be interesting to more profoundly analyze some aspects of the narrative to better understand Auster’s work. Thus, the angle of perspective from which the story is reported, along with the main conflict of the story and the resolution will be further developed in this text.
