Joyce Meyer Reflection

She also has several works written about her sermons. Many praise her for her extraordinary skill in education. Through her sermons, she is able to use the basic scriptures in a manner where it is applicable in our daily lives.

Firstly, Joyce incorporates multiple figures of speech and elements of design to express a purpose through the events that occur in the story. As mentioned before, this story is written in first person perspective of a boy who lives with his aunt and uncle. The perspective best allows readers to understand what this boy encounters every day and his opinion on certain topics. Furthermore, it also allows readers to perceive the feelings this boy has for a girl. For example, the author mentions the boy playing and says, “The cold air stung us and we played till our bodies glowed. Our shouts echoed in the silent street. The career of our play brought us through the dark muddy lanes behind the houses…” (Joyce, 1). This quote highlights the lively and childish fun the boy has with his friends.

Imagine living in a country that is stuck in the cycle failure and every generation has no way out of it. In James Joyce’s collection of short stories, Dubliners, Joyce illustrates how the people of Dublin will never find success as each generation is oppressing the next. Joyce uses individual short stories to show how characters of different lifestyles all face the same struggles and warns how the cycle will continue on to the next generation. The use of short stories gives the reader a look into the people of Dublin from multiple views which makes it clear how Dublin is bound for failure as the cycle of failure is passed down without knowing it among families.

James Joyce’s book, Dubliners brings to light many underlying issues of every individual’s identity. Anger, regret, realization and pain are all things we have felt. Without this connection everyone identifies with, we face emotionless vegetation. I find that Joyce places emphasis on these subjects because people were uncomfortable with expressing anything less than that of perfection to society. The stories of “Araby” “Eveline” and “After the Race” are all connected by infatuation, regret and realization without explicitly stating it.

We all have our own values, came from different families, lived in different environments, and ultimately have different influences in our lives that make us who we are today. Over the past nineteen-years, there has been quite of few individuals who have influenced me. The two individuals who have influenced me the most is my mom, Lena Yang, and my ex-boyfriend, Jeremy Huynh.

Authors often use literary techniques to convey a central theme in their writing. In his collection of short stories, Dubliners, James Joyce uses a multitude of literary techniques to communicate the ideas of escape and freedom. Joyce’s use of narrative perspective, selection of detail, and conventional diction in his short story “Eveline” allow him to express Eveline’s oppressive environment as well as her ultimate submissive nature to it.

In this article, Sharkey analyzes every aspect from the content of the book itself to biographical relevance of Joyce’s book. Sharkey’s main problem is his overuse of plot summary. He combines his plot summary with his analysis in a way that can create an effective argument; however, he will sometimes just summarize and not include the analysis. The “Historical Context” section is not incorporated well into the argument. He states the fact and relates it to Joyce, but his argument would become stronger if he were to directly relate it to parts of the book. The phrase, “For example” (202, 203, 204) is used excessively throughout the paper rather than finding a new statement. Sharkey does however strengthen his argument by including many direct

James Joyce wrote a book of stories called Dubliners discussing different people’s lives in Dublin. In writing these stories, Joyce tries to portray in the characters a sense of sadness and pressure to do what is expected in society. When he wrote the book it was during a rough time in Dublin. Therefore, the issues that he discusses in the different stories show how the lives of the people were not as happy as they all wished. In the stories “Eveline,” “The Boarding House,” and “The Dead,” each one of the characters find some form of light at the end of the story which gives them a new start on their lives. “Eveline” is a story about a girl who wants to escape from her life

In “Eveline” the main character, Eveline, lives a terrible life with a stern father, a miserable job, and a dreary home. When she is given the opportunity to leave her awful life and start a new life with her partner Frank, she rejects the offer and stays in Ireland. Immediately this presents the reader with an apparent paradox. Why did Eveline stay? Wasn’t her life terrible? It is not until the reader digs a little deeper into “Eveline” does the paradox solve itself. Joyce uses various literary techniques to justify why Eveline did not leave with Frank.

Have you ever wondered, “why do books make us feel the way we do?”, or “why are we so attached to the reading?” Well that's because when you are engaged in the book, it makes you realize many things about the book that you might like about it, and or relate to it. When choosing the book I wanted to write about, I had a choice between three books, “The giver”, “The Bible” , and lastly, “class matters”.  I ended up choosing , “The Giver” By Lois Lowry. The reasons that I didn't choose the other books is because, in class matters, it does relate to me, but I didn't really find it interesting enough to write about it. I didn't choose the bible due to religious reasons.  I made “The Giver” my official book because I felt as if the book and I

Mother Teresa, although she was not hidden from the public eye, she was hidden from me until recently. Her ways I discovered were simple but simply perfect, and her words crept into my heart and made me feel her love even now. She lived a life of truth, I soon discovered, and one that I now yearn to have the strength to attempt to imitate. Her life was anything but ordinary and began with a small seed of love, but eventually flourished into the most beautiful and breathtaking love to behold.
