In the short story The Flowers by Alice Walker, the author uses imagery in nature to convey the motif of growth and change, an element of the story which contributes to the idea that one cannot stay young and innocent forever; eventually, everyone has to grow up, no matter how unprepared they may be. Natural imagery is used with great frequency throughout the story, starting in the first sentence, but a strong example can be found regarding the spring. It is described as “where the family got drinking water”, a source of vitality and sustenance, yet “tiny white bubbles disrupt the thin black scale of soil… the water [silently rising] and [sliding] away down the stream” (Walker). This quote details the movement of the spring as well as the

Walker continues to use negative imagery and ideas to reveal her hesitation towards the arrangement. The author uses these literary devices because she wants to illustrate Roselily’s reasons for marrying the man. Roselily does this because it is what's best for her and her children. In a way, Roselily is being forced because she does not have a better alternative to her current life. By marrying the man, Roselily will have a renewed lifestyle and reputation. Roselily imagines the flowers in her hand as kids. When she does this, her head fills with murderous thoughts. “A squeeze around the flowers in her hands chokes off three and four and five years of breath” (Walker 4). As guilty as Roselily feels, this shows how Roselily wishes she never had given birth to any of her kids. When she tightens her grip on the bouquet of flowers, she thinks of her children. Roselily dreams she did not give birth to these kids. Roselily’s ideas of murder could possibly be associated with her obsession with the idea of her personal spirit being robbed from her. Weddings usually give off positive connotations, however in Roselily’s mind she disturbs the happy wedding with dark thoughts such as the idea of murder. Deviating from the topic of “personal spirit”, Brent studies the ferocious thoughts swarming Roselily’s mind. “Roselily’s rebellious thoughts during the wedding ceremony go so far as to enter the realms of murder and blasphemy. She expresses a wish that she could be free of her three

“There’s no such thing as aging, but maturing and knowledge. It’s beautiful, I call that beauty.”- Celine Dion. Lizabeth, the protagonist, experiences a change in her life through emotional hardships as she grows up and starts to understand more about life.

I always look at expiration dates when grocery shopping; is milk worth purchasing or will it begin to spoil in the fridge before it can be poured into a bowl of cereal? With artworks that include edible elements, questions regarding deterioration of food can also become a major concern, especially when museums, galleries, and private collectors aim to elongate the lifespan of their art. What may not be considered is how these edible materials can affect the longevity of other elements in a work of art. Can the chemical makeup of milk, pickled vegetables, Tabasco sauce, or Diet Coke cause condition issues to the support over a period of time? And if condition changes should occur, is the artist concerned or does it continue to comply with the

One of the most universal symbols of beauty is the flower. Their delicate buds hold such great beauty, while being so fragile and temporary. Despite their magnificence, flowers must remain stationary. It is a prison, yet no one thinks beyond the simplicity of a pretty flower. Like women, flowers are seen at face value without any concern for the lack of freedom, opportunity, and expression they have. Women are meant to be seen just how society expects and not any other way. In Chronicle of a Death Foretold, female characters face the serious consequences of societal expectations and views on sexuality. Gabriel Garcia Marquez uses the motif of flowers to symbolize women and their virginity to demonstrate the confinement of women in society.

How do we lose our childish way of seeing the world? How can we suddenly they see the world as it is, in all its evil? ‘The Flowers’ is a story about a young girl who goes through an experience that forces her into changing her way of seeing life, and it presents themes like growing up and loss of innocence.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s 1981 novella, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, is an investigation into the murder of Santiago Nasar through the lens of a Columbian community. It acts as a broader commentary on the obligations to virtue, duty and honour at the expense of meaningful relationships and rational decision-making.
