Grace's Bradshaw Wand: Dogwood

Isabel’s lions are metaphor to represent Isabel’s bravery, strength, and her righteousness when she faces many dangers to defend her friends, family, and herself. Madam does not see this because she is supercilious type who sees Isabel, and sees a piece of property such as furniture. She does not see how bold Isabel is, nor see the lengths of which Isabel is willing to go to protect her friends and family. She spies for the Americans, confronts Madam on more than one occasion, and purposely disobeyed Madam to protect those she cares for. Isabel’s will to survive, her bravery, and her will to do the morally correct action is her “lion”. Lady Seymour sees this trait from the very beginning, when she saw Isabel’s bravery protect Ruth from Madam, saw her survive a branding with her strength, and saw how Isabel was willing to do a kind act to the prisoner by giving food to them. She constantly helps Isabel unleash her lion, such as when she saved Isabel from dying, constantly shows her kindness, and even helps her escape from Madam. Her kindness and strength, such as when she survived her encounter with death, helps Isabel give food to prisoners, and helps the library in King’s College from being destroyed motivates Isabel throughout the entire book. Lady Seymour stands for the kindness in the world, and constantly looks to her when she is to do sometime morally incorrect

Within the novel Fahrenheit 451, three main societies are expressed throught the representation of various groups or characters. These societies include the old society, which was allowed to read literature, the middle society, which bannned literature choosing to instead focus on mindless distractions, and the new society which is only seen for a short amount of time in the book. The old society is represented by the group of outcasts that the main character Montag meets in the third part of the novel after escaping the city. The group is welcomeing to Montag and even appear to be expecting him. The outcasts do not ahere to the rules created by the middle society and instead read, and keep diffferent forms of literature. They view literature as an eccential thing, going as far as to memorize varius forms of work so that it will not be lost. Their dedication to the countinance of literature is seen in the following quote from the text, “Montag.” Granger took Montag;s shoulder firmly. “Walk carefully. Guard your health. If anything should happen to Harris, you are the book of

The main, and most noticeable, symbol is Hulga “Joy” Hopewell’s artificial leg. She is “as sensitive about it as a peacock about its tail” (8). The roughness of her personality matches that of her wooden leg. Since becoming handicapped, she removes all feelings for others, herself, and the belief in a higher power. She feels that she is not of value anymore and not worth the “dust of her existence” (11) so she changes her name to Hulga, which she believes is the ugliest name in all languages. Her leg is used as a tool to illustrate to others her miserable state. She stomps around and purposely makes an “ugly-sounding” (9) noise. As bad as the situation of losing her leg may be, what is worse is how she uses it. The leg, though inanimate and built to be very strong, is her crutch, both literally and psychologically. This crutch is what makes her so weak and bitter. When Hulga says to her mother, Mrs. Hopewell, “if you want me, here I am- like I am” (2) this

"The Necklace," "A Monkey's Paw," and "The Gift of Magi" all have a distinctive technique that leads to a deeper meaning of the story. The technique of "The Necklace" is represented by symbolism of the necklace. In "A Monkey's Paw," the technique that is seen is foreshadowing. In "The Gift of Magi," irony is the technique that is noticed throughout the story. All three short stories deal with the irony of consequence. Each story involved a major decision and in each case the result of the decision was incredibly unexpected. Through symbolism, foreshadowing, and irony the authors conclude that what's inside the heart is far more important than material wealth.

A number of the stories studied this semester explore the conflict between social restraint and inner compulsion. Discuss at least two of the stories in the light of this.

The beginning of “The Hound of Heaven” represents Dorothy Day’s childhood. The poem begins with, “I fled Him, down the nights and down the days/ I fled Him, down the arches of the years/ I fled Him, down the labyrinthine ways / Of my own mind, and in the mist of tears/ I hid from him…” (Thompson 1-4). These lines symbolizes the escape that the author was making away from God. Thompson was running away from God and his responsibilities. While reading this poem, Dorothy Day immediately drew a connection. Growing up in a Christian family who rarely attended church sessions, Day did not know what she believed in. When she was young, she asked her mother why didn’t the family sing hymns and pray. She never got a satisfying answer from her mother.

Before travelling back to 1873, Abigail was never given much responsibility and she did not care a lot about other things but, after she travelled back in time she started taking up more responsibility and putting more effort into protecting The Gift. This is a sign that Abigail has learnt to love, care and be responsible for her family.On page 58, Abigail is eager to get back to her time without helping the Bows and their Gift, after that she obtained help from Beatie but failed to go back in time. Frustrated, Abigail finds out that her pass back to the present is the delicate crochet collar she bought on the day she travelled back in time. Later in the book Dovey tells Abigail the whereabouts of the collar but Abigail swears to never open the lid of Dovey’s bridal chest ‘You know very well i would not as much lift the lid of Dovey’s bridal chest’ pg 118. This shows how much renewed responsibility The Gift has given her and how determined she is to save the Bows. The phrase ‘In there was her key to home, but the sense of honour prevented her from taking a knife and forcing the lid’ pg 119 sums up how much The Gift has affected her perception of family. Ruth Park uses imagery and dialogue to describe the situations and feelings of Abigail in her new

It has no special value, or none that I know of save for its great antiquity and that her hands once held the hilt, but it’s believed that it brings luck to all of our line. So it has proved for me since first my father gave it to me. May it prove so for you, and yours. If nothing else, it will be a sharp knife in the wild.”

O. Henry uses a lot of detail throughout his writing in “The Gift of the Magi”, to clearly describe small pieces that would be meaningless if they didn’t have as much emphasis put into them. O. Henry writes about Della’s hair, and in the story, he describes it as, “So now Della’s beautiful hair fell about her, rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters,” (O. Henry 117). Not only does O. Henry use the words rippling and shining as words to describe her hair, but he doesn’t use very simple words like wavy hair. Imagery and details go hand in hand if they are shown through the description in the text. O. Henry portrays her hair as a waterfall of brown hair cascading down. Details make something like Della’s hair impact the story by, showing how important her hair was to her and her husband.
