Flaubert's A Mid Summer Break

The word gargling makes the reader think of the sound of gargling, so the connotation of the word is a little disgusting. He adds the fact that the lungs are corrupted, and the connotation of corrupted makes the reader think of something that has gone bad. Owen’s use of the connotation of the words elevates the reader’s understanding of how much pain the soldier suffered as he was dying. All of this is used to show how war is not beautiful. In William Shakespeare’s poem, “Winter,” he uses words with a negative connotation to describe Winter. Many poets talk about the beauty of the snow or the gleaming ice, but Shakespeare approaches the topic with a more ironic appeal. For example, in the poem it says, “and birds sit brooding in the snow.”(12) Instead of describing the beauty of an bird lounging in the snow, Shakespeare uses words with negative connotations to even makes the bird seems solemn. He uses this to show how not every season in life is always wonderful because sometimes things are melancholy. He adds depth to this theme by using words with a negative connotation to give the reader a mental picture of the not wonderful

Winter, a melancholy season, bring to the people the feeling of loneliness. The lonely person becomes lonelier. In the cold winter, just a little ray of sunshine is enough to warm a person's lonely heart. However, no one knows that little ray of sunshine in cold winter is a start point of the tragedy of love. Like "Ethan Frome" is written by Edith Wharton. The story revolves around the love triangle of three characters, Ethan, Zeena, and Mattie. Zeena, Ethan's wife, with illness, she represents the lack of energy. Contrariwise, Mattie, Zeena's cousin, who makes Ethan falls in love, represents the full energy of life. Mattie is a little ray of sunshine of Ethan in the cold winter. That makes Ethan feels thrilled, and the love triangle begins

Metaphoric language is used in both works to establish tone, but the approaches differ. In Cold Mountain, Frazier uses similes to bring emphasis on different aspects of nature. For instance, the author describes the heron's legs and wings as "black as the river." This is to continue the smooth, even tone of the passage and establish that there is a continuous circle, spawning from nature and leading right back to nature. Relating the heron to another awe-inspiring aspect of nature simply elevates its divinity. Personification is also used in this passage to give the paragraphs an ironic tone. When Frazier describes the heron as "look[ing] high as a man in the slant light with its long shadow blown out across the water", he establishes a tone of irony. The heron is mocking mankind, who stands in front of nature (and supposedly above it) and allow themselves to consume it entirely. The irony continues as the heron looks as if it does not know where to step next, lost in its own conceit. This ironic tone is a laugh at mankind for being so selfish. However, in the poem, Oliver speaks in the first person narrative, as if mankind is attached to nature and can comprehend what is happening. This gives the poem a cynical tone, full of anticipated destruction and isolation. Metaphoric language adds to tone immensely.

In literature, winter and cold are commonly associated with death, however, when it comes to cold in this excerpt, the more prominent motif of cold represents the lack of affection. In Ethan Frome, Edith Wharton makes excellent use of the similar motifs of cold and ice to characterize Zeena. Throughout the excerpt from chapter two, these motifs heavily contribute to Zeena’s cold self, her treatment towards Ethan, and their dimming relationship relationship,

Bradbury uses similes to convey imagery in The Pedestrian: explaining the bitterness of the air due to the chilly air, comparing a highway to a stream, and using his shadow to the shadow of a hawk. First, he uses a simile to help the reader visualize the chilly weather by comparing the inside of his lungs to the “blaze of a Christmas tree”. This means that his lungs are burning because of the bitter air. This helps us visualize the frigid temperatures of the night which helps us get a sense of the time of year this story takes place: winter. Secondly, he uses a simile to help us visualize how empty the highways are by comparing a highway to an empty stream saying that the highways “ were like streams in a dry season, all stone and bed and moon

Another simile the author uses is, ?As wet as the children whose mothers are going to give them away,? (line #6,7,8) to simulate a sweaty love making scene. This scene being described should give the reader clear images in thought which allows one to understand how Olds views these acts. The simile ?light rising slowly as steam off their joined skin,? (line #11,12,13) can also be used to perceive the same image of a hot, sweaty, and passionate love making scene. The confusion displayed by the author creates repeated questions concerning how two people who are not in love can execute such a

Two summers ago in 2014 I took my annual summer vacation to Toronto. I spent two months with my aunt, uncle, and cousins. Around that time everyone had the World Cup fever, rooting for their country or other countries. For much of the beginning of my stay I sequestered myself in my room surrounded only by my electronic companions. By mid-July I adapted to a daily routine of afternoon wake up, brunch, and returning back to my room to scroll through Instagram and check my Snapchat.

It seems as though even when the narrator was in the warm temperature of the house, he still felt cold and reluctant to wake up.He was unappreciative and he speaks indifferently at his father. In this passage, the narrator is trying to show the extreme irony on purpose. Comparing how he treated his father to how much his father has done for him, shows a strong ironic feeling and helps the narrator give out the sense of sorrow when he followed the passage with his

We (the reader) come to the conclusion that the weather outside is very cold because of the fact that the men enter the room wearing heavy overcoats and go over to the stove to warm up. I believe that the cold, harsh weather outside the house was symbolic of the climate and atmosphere on the inside of the house over the past few years. The way in which Mr. and Mrs. Wright?s relationship was described gave me an icy, sickening feeling. I could not imagine living my life in the same situation as Mrs. Wright. A lot of important information can be gathered from the very first paragraph of the play. As you read on, you are able to see more pertinent details revealed through the characters actions, without the use of dialogue.

There is nothing I love more than going on a summer vacation with my family and friends. I like to lay on sweltering days by the pool side, eat delicious dinners, and party endlessly. Summer trips make memories for years to come. But, I cannot enjoy the beautiful scenery and experience the carefree attitudes without preparing for the trip proper packing preparation.

In the end, the narrator actually concludes that fire and ice are similar to each other. The author shows personal experience by “comparing” desire (line 3) with fire and hatred (line 6) with ice. One thing you may have noticed after that is that the world can be identified as a metaphor for a relationship. Because too much fire and passion can eventually consume a relationship, while cold nonchalance and hate can be equally destructive.

through [her husband's] heat I bore" and yearns for him to return and warm her

Lawrance Thompson interpreted the poem to mean “the heat of love or passion and the cold of hate,” and there destructive powers. (Serio). I can see how one might think this because on line three of “Fire and Ice” Frost says “From what I’ve tasted of desire” which love and lust are often referred to as desire. This gives credibility to the idea of fire being a symbol for love. Later in the poem Frost says “T think I know enough of hate /

In the natural world there is strife among four lovers. The lovers include a couple, Hermia and Lysander, a competitor for Hermia’s love, Demetrius, and a friend of Hermia and a seeker Demetrius’s love, Helena. The four are affected by the fairies seasonal mix up as well as the fairies interfering with the lover affairs by using a “juice” that causes the affected to “pursue” “the next thing… [they] look upon… with the soul of love” (2.1.177, 180, 183). The love potion put on the lovers causes confusion and conflict among the women. Hermia and Helena argue over the men, who have both been unknowingly tainted with the love potion. This leads to arguments over their friendship which was once so strong that the two were “two seeming bodies but one heart” as well as their physical insecurities (3.2.212). The women are forcing their angers on to each other both because they are angry at each other and because of the love potion confusion and the season switch. Thomas C. Foster describes “hard-wired” traits of winter, which could be the season summer has been confused with by the fairies, as filled with “resentment” and “dissatisfaction” with things life people (186). Towards the end of the comedy, the fight between Titania and Oberon was solved, causing their negative effects in the physical world to subside and allow the seasons to stop their “dissension” (2.1.116). Additionally, the fairies

The mood is the short ‘Save as Many as You Ruin is some kind of gloomy. The mood changes from being some kind of bitter and pessimistic to being very optimistic. However, Gerard is faking the optimism he shows when he sees Laurel. The snow in the short story also plays an very important role. It is used as some kind of symbol in relation to Gerard personal characterization. The snow demonstrates how cold Gerard is as a person both mentally and physically. Gerard has never tried to experience love before he actually met Laurel, which results in Gerard being portrayed as a cold person through his account as well as the setting. The moment he sees Laurel his emotions connects with the weather. “It’s a blizzard now.” Line 47. The text takes place in the city Manhattan, and this is a very important fact, since the setting substantiates that a lot of people are superficial and shallow in big cities, which is also noticeable in the dialogue between Laurel and Gerard.
