Comparing A & P And That Room

bright colors of the first rooms and then to the black, ominous final room leaves the reader

One theme in the book is that home is not a place, but the people in it. This is demonstrated in the vignettes “Our Good Day”, “Papa Who Wakes Up Tired in the Dark”, and “Alicia and I talking on Edna’s steps”. Vignette 6, “Our Good Day” displays the theme that home is not a

One major theme I found apparent throughout the book was that some things aren't always as they appear. The author might have used this to tell reader to be careful with what they choose to

A theme I found that would happen throughout the novel would be the disorder of life. Our main character, Christopher, persistently has the need to see the world as systematic. If Christopher doesn’t get his order, he has a very low approval for disorder. He spends way too much time on timetables, for illustration, since his parents didn’t have a routine to follow when they went on vacation, he struggled. Another example would be, “…4 red cars in a row made it a Good Day, and 3 red cars in a row made it a Quite Good Day, and 5 red cars in a row made it a Super Good Day, and why 4 yellow cars in a row made it a Black Day, which is a day when I don’t speak to anyone and …”

The theme in the short story is that men will become tools of their tools, inside on their own free will; but because of the the change in how walking is legal to illegal in the film, causes the theme to become how people are controlled using their TV’s, and don’t have a choice on whether they want to go outside. This change makes the film seem more like in the future the government keeps them inside and uses their TV’s to brainwash them. This new theme gives the film a more sci fi twilight zone type of feel and I prefer it to the book which is more

In this story, elements of symbolism show up in the first blue room, the last dark room, and the ebony clock. The various rooms indicate different stages of life. The

The Room itself represents the author’s unconscious protective cell that has encased her mind, represented by the woman, for a very long time. This cell is slowly deteriorating and losing control of her thoughts. I believe that this room is set up as a self-defense mechanism when the author herself is put into the asylum. She sets this false wall up to protect her from actually becoming insane and the longer she is in there the more the wall paper begins to deteriorate. This finally leads to her defense weakening until she is left with just madness and insanity. All of the characters throughout the story represent real life people with altered roles in her mind.

A major symbolic element presented early in the novel is the room inside Mr. Charrington's antiquities store. At first, the room symbolizes the opportunity Winston has to escape the Party’s omnipresence. Once he is renting the room from Mr. Charrington, the room becomes a physical embodiment of his rebellion against the Party and its members. Later on, Winston's safe haven is invaded by the Thought Police and thus marks the end of Winston’s freedom. Additionally, Dickstein affirms that the room “evoked traces of … individual happiness that no system can fully efface.”

Besides symbolizing death, this room reminds revelers of the truth, or in this case, reality. With all the colors creating this dream world as stated earlier, the seventh room stands out. This room reminds them that they are mortal and susceptible to time. Roth argues the room is “designed to reproduce” the “threating aspects of the outside” which are death and morality. This room is probably the most important symbol in supporting the idea of

​A&P portrays many different types of themes. When we talk or hear about theme, us as readers have to dive into the reading and closely examine what the author wants to get out of this story. When I read this story, one major theme that came to my mind was the theme of individualism. Individualism plays a huge role in the story and is a major detail that Updike truly focus’s on. Individualism is implied in the story very well

The progression of the rooms from east to west represents the cycle of life with the sun rising in the east and falling in the west. The last black room with the clock represents the end of life and

Use of symbolism and imagery have been more than enough for an individual to comprehend this story just by imagining the descriptions. His Gothic style of writing puts you on the edge of your seat. You never know what is going to happen next. The scenery is eye catching and that’s what makes readers look into this story. The setting and situation is far more attractive than the plot or characters. Poe takes his use of literary devices to the next level. Allegory is applied to help the reader understand the true purpose behind Poe’s work. The seven different colored rooms have a stage of life in each room to exemplify life. It shows their progress of reaching death while each hour passing brings them closer to their end. The emphasis that symbolism leaves is far too great for anyone not to interpret them. Poe has significantly positioned clues for the reader to identify the madness that unfolds in this horror

Each room has two large windows that correspond in color to their respective rooms, excluding the black apartment in which the windows are stained a blood red color. The last room causes the reader to have rather dreary, dismal feelings of the room, feelings of uneasiness and death. This is in direct contrast with all of the other rooms, as they tend to leave the impression of gaiety and bliss with the reader. The sharp differentiation and vivid description of the last room as compared to all the others gives the reader the feeling that this room is to be of importance later in the story and thereby helps create the atmosphere for the story.

The point of view changes throughout the stories. Some chapters are written from Louis’s point of view, Summer’s point of view, the kidnapper’s point of view, and even the other girls in the cellar point of views. The book had two main themes. These themes are to never go outside in an unsafe situation without a buddy and to never give up on the things

The main theme of the story is that our bodies can only take a certain amount of pain and when the pain exceed it depends on us whether we should kill ourselves or go through the pain like a boss. Another important message that the author wants to deliver to us is that we should not spend our time thinking of taking revenge from the people that destroyed our lives, but we should just forgive them and enjoy our lives.
