Flowers For Te An Invaluable Technique

The words which Kawabata uses to describe a bowl used to drink tea brings attention to the elegance of the Japanese Tea Ceremony; in fact, the Oribe was “four hundred years old […] as tea masters have looked after it and passed it down through the centuries” (Kawabata 19-20). Tea practitioners must have recognized certain appealing qualities in the tea vessels that deemed them worthy of being passed down from generation to generation. Dick and Jane and the Japanese Tea Ceremony both place emphasis on beauty, with a detailed characterization of aesthetic elements.

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

Author Daniel Keyes published “Flowers for Algernon” in 1959. Of course this was the short story version, later the novel was published in 1966. Daniel considered “It would be wonderful if it were possible to help the mentally retarded using artificial intelligence”. He thought, “What would happen if you were able to increase intelligence artificially?” He deeply considered all the pros and cons about testing his ideas on a human subject. There were very many pros, but also very many cons, just like the atomic bomb built by Robert Oppenheimer. For example a pro is that the atomic bomb ended the war on Japan. A con would be the loss of lives and buildings in Japan. Another pro would be that it showed how strong the U.S. military is. A con would

The origins of tea are rooted in China (Food Timeline). According to legend, the beneficial properties of tea were first discovered by the Emperor Shen Nung in the year 2737 B.C. He drank only boiled water for hygienic purposes, and one day while he drank a breeze rustled the branches of a tree and a few leaves fell into his cup. Creating the first cup of tea. It is challenging to know whether or not the emperor was real or just a part of the spiritual and cultural development of ancient China. China was not unified as an empire until the third century, so it is unlikely emperors existed back then. One thing that is known is that tea was popular in China thousands of years ago. The first written reference of tea is in the third century B.C. A famous surgeon recommended the beverage to patients to increase concentration and alertness. Tea was first written as “tu” in ancient texts. This caused a good deal of confusion because the same Chinese character was used for both tea and Chinese sow thistles. Between 206 B.C. and A.D. 220 a Han Dynasty emperor ruled that when referring to tea, the characters should be pronounced as “cha”. From here on, tracing tea’s history became easier because tea acquired its own individual character (Food Timeline).

In the short story “The Flowers,” Alice Walker uses key details to portray Myop as an archetype of carefree childhood innocence. The name Myop, derived from the condition Myopia, means to be nearsighted, or unable to foresee. In the first paragraph of the story Walker introduces the idyllic setting and character, describing that Myop felt “light and good in the warm sun… each day a golden surprise” (Paragraph 1). Myop begins to set out on an archetypal journey, taking her own path, ‘skipping lightly, feeling as though nothing exists but her own song” (Paragraph 2). This symbolizes Myop’s naive world where no problems exist. However, Myop did keep an eye out for one thing: snakes, an archetype of evil.
