Because It Is Running

It is a third person narrative. The narrator has an obvious focus on Lane and this we see because the narrator only includes Lane’s thoughts and feelings a lot: “Sometimes when alone and thinking or struggling to turn matter over to Jesus Christ in prayer, he would find himself (…)”11 “He could almost visualize himself tiptoeing past something explosive.”12 Therefore the narrator has an inner view of Lane. We learn his opinions, and especially when Sheri is described – you learn that it is through Lane that she is described. The effect of the inner view is that we only learn how one of the main characters is feeling and is thinking. It also makes the information about Sheri subjective because it is Lane’s opinion about her and not her exact thoughts or feelings. We only have Lane’s opinion and actions and Sheri’s actions. Furthermore the short story is written in the past tense, and there are some flashbacks: “Two days before (…)”13 “Sometimes when they had prayed (…)”14 The flashbacks can enlighten the reader about the main characters background, but also confuse the reader.

The point of view in the story is the third person because there is a narrator who

However the gileadean society, values the aspect of present events more than us, being an indication of Atwood to return into the present as to be scared by the future before it is too late. As time is relative, our perception of it can change aswell. Resulting in the sorrowful comprehension that we missed a great part of our lives. “ Live in the present, make the most of it, it's all you've got.”

Throughout ‘At Mornington’, Harwood uses descriptions, “night fell”, and similes, “the piece of this day will shine like light” when referring to the power of memory. During ‘The Violets’, Harwood uses imagery such as “ambiguous light” and metaphors such as “unreturning light” and “blurring darkness” to portray time’s ability to pass, and the way that you cannot regain time that is lost. During ‘The Violets’, Harwood also uses the metaphor of the “melting west” to represent a closing day, capturing the vivid colours of the natural phenomenon through the use of evocative imagery. Indeed, the second poem of the diptych of ‘Father and Child’ is ‘Nightfall’. These references to darkness, light and the closing of days can all be seen as symbolic of life, death and the transience of time, as when one day ends and night falls, the transience of that moment will be held in one’s memory regardless of the moment never being able to be relived.

Similarly, as “Stop all of the Clocks” develops the narrator metaphorically and onomatopoeically highlights that everything in life must acknowledge the death and experience it with him. Outward signs of cotton gloves and bows with doves is a metaphor for the person’s acknowledgement of death. The importance of the deceased love extends to every facet of the narrator’s life because they belonged in every moment that the narrator lived. In this moment of grief, the narrator feels betrayed because they invested in a love which was not eternal.

The world goes by right before me. The movement of stitches of current people and events reveals moments of time that I had the privilege to see in my time. I no longer question why my existence was best place in this time, but rather, how I can best suit this destiny that was given to me. Inevitability of death is not fine print limp in the gift of life, but rather a push to craft morality that I can plant in this earth when I depart. The hardship that I face in my life is the disconnection of myself to others. Villon’s poem, “Everything but Myself”, reveals the ideas of witness the moments with in time, and being able to understand it’s existence, but lacking to connect it to one’s self.

Daldry approaches Woolf’s tunnelling technique with sensitivity and subtlety in order to unify Virginia, Laura and Clarissa. The repetitive musical score by Philip Glass creates a sense of the cyclical nature of time and is evocative of the relentlessness of time. This too creates an illusion of both time and timelessness as the regular rhythm simulates that of a clock as

People cannot control their fate; thus everything must come to an end due to this inevitable force. Achebe illustrates the ending of an era in the Things Fall Apart, which was influenced by another piece of literature: “The Second Coming”. Although Things Fall Apart and “The Second Coming” both analyze distinct time periods, both pieces of literature use negative tone, diction, and symbols to reveals the theme everything leads to failure. In Things Fall Apart Achebe focuses upon the ending of an era by integrating a negative tone towards the subject.

With this Raleigh seems to express that just as the material pleasures the shepherd has promised his love will expire in time, then so will the love the shepherd has. The line “the flowers do fade” seems to say that the passage of time and its effects is not something that might happen, it will happen (Raleigh,

The short story is told in a 1.person narrative and the narrator is explicit because we get a glimpse of the main character's thoughts and feelings, and we see the events through the narrator’s eyes, but the stories that are told from a first person narrative can also be unreliable, since we only see from a viewpoint.

“It happens that the stage sets collapse. Rising, streetcar, four hours in the office or the factory, meal, streetcar, four hours of work, meal, sleep, and Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday and Saturday according to the same rhythm – this path is easily followed most of the time. But one day the “why” arises and everything begins in that weariness tinged with amazement.”
