A feeling readily distinguishable for Charlie, who became scarred off his reflective experience in the library. This purposelessness is apparent in a moment in our lives where we are short of ideas with what do with it. Associable with Charlie’s reaction on reading the horrific atrocities committed by people like Edgar Cooke notorious for his unreasonable, random, ruthless murder of people. And of Sylvia Likens, who is inhumanely abused like being, “made to live in the cellar with the dogs.” Page 111. Apart from Charlie, how would you have feel hearing that?

Tobias Wolff’s short story, “That Room” is a very suspenseful story that has the reader on the edge of their seat while reading it. Suspense and excitement is created through the plot and theme of the story which are both developed through four main literary devices. In the story, the narrator is put into what is potentially a life or death situation and it is at this point that he becomes aware that one is never really in full control of his or her own life. Throughout this literary analysis I will discuss the plot and theme of the story in terms of how Wolff uses setting, tone, characterization, and symbolism to enhance both the theme and the plot.

The darkness in his room, "in his darkness he is finally alone", is a reflection of his depressed feeling in remembrance of the awful events he has witnessed. The horrific experience is so long lasting, which will dwell in his memory continually as represents by run-on-lines.

Upon the opening of this setting, Remarque develops the sense of anxiety and awakening. As Paul Bäumer sits in the claustrophobic, watery hole, all he thinks of is the want of silence

Too slowly for Henry to notice, his life comes crashing down. Change – ‘progress’, as the world calls it – is brought to him, and before he can realize it, his life gradually slides into the pit of depression and despair. Pain and terror grip his very soul – he is hopelessly trapped in the grip of a monster so powerful, there is no escape.

With each impingement, he angrily moaned at his assailants. And, there was even one point in the short film… one moment where you could see him clearly… for just a second or two, an image that burrowed its way into my mind. His harrowed face, the jaundice of his skin, and sunken eyes. He reminded me of my grandfather in the last few days of his life before pancreatic cancer had taken him. How he had become a shell of what he had once been, a blackening peel decomposing before our very eyes.

They were filled with rage. All they really knew were two darknesses, the darkness of their lives which was now closing in on them, and the darkness of the movies, which had blinded them to that other darkness and in which they now, vindictively, dreamed, at once more together than they were at any other time, and more alone (5)

60) This allows him to escape the hardships of mountain life on a mental level by imagining that he is taking part in the experiences and situations in the story. After stealing a suitcase full of western novels from their friend four-eyes, the narrator becomes infatuated by book one of Jean-Christophe. As he put it, ¡§To me it was the ultimate book: once you read it, neither your own life nor the world you lived in would ever look the same.¡¨ (Sijie p. 117) The narrator takes the words of Jean-Christophe to heart and is filled with the desire to live through this re-education in order to experience love, sex and a free individual action against the world. In a way, the narrator and Luo envied the characters in the western novels that they read daily. They wanted to escape the reality of the conditions they were living under to experience the same freedoms as their favorite characters, and not be burdened by the controlling power of Mao and his communist ways.

Once the lovers drank the potion, their lives and other’s lives dear to them were completely changed. As they sail back to Cornwall, they are “unhappy as they languish apart,

Despite his determination to provide for his family at all cost, whether directly or indirectly, Harry’s approach continually isolates him and puts him at odds with the greater community. He sacrifices his interpersonal connections and ultimately his own humanity. In Albert’s narrative, Harry’s asserts: It would be better alone, anything is better alone. Here, Hemingway acutely demonstrate the degree to which Harry has become a loner. In the first, Albert laments how Harry has changed, mean and full of self-pity. In the second, Harry, trapped by the need to participate in a doomed venture asking: what choice do I have? Harry’s downward spiral and his actions complicate his position in the Dream narrative. In this and Hemingway’s castigation of the other characters, the reader is left with the realization that the Dream altogether

Having left the war behind, Frederic is finally ready for peace and quiet. Hemingway, however, has other plans for his character. Catherine dies during childbirth, as does the baby. Thus, Frederic is confronted again with death. This time, however, he is unable to detach himself emotionally as he did with the deaths he witnessed in war.

How effectively the Awakening Scene is presented in Peter Martins’ or any other production of The Sleeping Beauty is up to the individual viewer to decide. This scene’s powerful symbolism, its profound significance and meaning, and its rich psychological insight, however, make it categorically one of the greatest literary scenes in our cultural heritage.

Antoine De Saint-Exupery’s book, “Le Petit Prince,” takes place in five different settings: The asteroid that he lives on, asteroid B-612, the Sahara desert, an unknown city, a field where its location is unknown, and the other asteroids that the Little Prince explores in the cosmos of space. In all of these settings the author introduces characters that deliver metaphorical life lessons to the reader. The author didn’t write this book to deliver a story, he wrote this book to deliver different life lessons and themes that the reader is supposed to learn from. But in retrospect, the movie is way different in how it delivers its messages, and it's also different in the sense of the movie’s purpose.

His idealized expectations disillusioned him and thus left him feeling great loss. It wasn’t the fact that he couldn’t triumph in his quest to impress the girl who lives in his neighborhood that made him feel this way, however, it was the fact that he had invested so much expectation and hope into this one pursuit that it destroyed his ability to ever look back at things the same way, it destroyed the innocent lens he had. Reality is a hard road to take and once it sets in, it can’t be ignored. To go back to childish beliefs of adventure and magic is only teasing and a waste of time wrapping up in the unreal.
