Literary Analysis Of Papa Smashing Mama's Figurines

These shows an extreme emphasize on the weathers importance, he could never escape his father’s clutch, and he can never idealize his own independence. The weather also helps the reader understand the pressure that Stephen is faced with; both literally and physically “The world was a maelstrom of darkness and wind” (Nowlan Pg__). This further reinforces Stephens’s unclear confused mind, and the harshness of his father’s expectations. “The wind struck his back like an alder switch” (Nowlan Pg__). The shadowing of how Stephen feels the confusion and coldness he faces. “The wind howled until Stephen expected it to wrench the roof from the camp” (Nowlan Pg__). Basically Stephens world was collapsing on him and his father’s disappointment was overpowering. “The wind hurled pellets of frozen snow against his face” (Nowlan Pg__). The adversity he faces, weather to be submissive to his father or to pursue his dreams. Through repetition and imagery, Nowlan emphasizes the effect that the weather and his father has on Stephen. After the friendly talks that Leka has had with him, Stephen was mislead by the Polack into think he was finally man. “He was no little boy to be cowed into obedience” (Nowlan Pg__). He believes he is now a man, and won’t be cowed into obedience. He believes that he has finally satisfied his father. This is later juxtaposed again, as later Stephen only

During the story the author often uses foreshadowing to give hints to the reader of things that will happen in the future. When the story starts, a storm is coming on a late October night. The storm symbolizes the evil approaching the town. Usually it seems a storm would resemble something dark and evil, because a stormy night is always a classic setting for something evil. At the

1. In chapter eleven of his book How to Read Literature Like a Professor, Thomas Foster examines violence in literature, and particularly the way violence functions on multiple levels. Foster identifies two different kinds of violence in literature, and discusses how those two different kinds create different literal and literary meanings. By examining Foster's categories of violence in more detail, one can see how violence in literature serves as an important link between the internal events of a story and the story itself.

There are two categories of violence in literature: the specific injury and the narrative violence. Specific injury causes characters to visit on one another or on themselves. Narrative violence cause the characters to cause harm in general.

Foster’s insights about seasons and weather in literature change the story’s interpretation by clarifying their purposes. Foster’s main idea in the chapter It’s More Than Just Rain or Snow is weather always has a purpose; for example, rain, which has an “association with Spring,” can allow a “character to be cleansed symbolically” and “can bring the world back to life.” This insight is clear in the short story as outside Mrs.Mallard’s room the “trees were all aquiver with the new spring life” and “the delicious breath of rain was in the air.” The rain and spring weather may be dismissed as merely setting, but Foster’s insights allow the deeper meaning behind the inclusion of rain and spring to be clarified. The rain and spring show how Mrs.Mallard was cleansed

When it comes to literature, weather can be used in many different ways. It can symbolize theme, set the mood of the story, and even affect the plot. In Tangerine by Edward Bloor, the weather acts as a plot device and as a symbol.

The actions that Matsu does for Stephen, another pivotal character in the story, stand for their growing bond. The symbolism helps the reader understand the reason behind the actions and how it affects the story. This, consequently, enriches the analysis of the story. Symbols in the story also intensify the situations in the story. The weather in the story is a symbol for the events that happen in the story, and knowledge of the nature of the upcoming situations makes the situations enhanced. Tsukiyama’s use of symbolism enriches the characters, their situations, and the interpretations of the story.

One of the first items the author states is that all symbolism is intentional, there are no accidents when it comes to analyzing famous literature. He describes certain authors like James Joyce and T.S. Elliot as “intentionalists” or writers who purposely try to control every part of the story through symbolism. The author Thomas Foster teaches us never to overlook anything in a novel even if it be little things like the color shirt they are wearing or what the weather is like outside. Building more off the last statement, precipitation, whilst being a little detail added into a story, holds a lot of important roles in moving the story along and even providing hardships for characters to overcome. Even more than that though, he says “It’s never just rain”, rain provides as a symbol in the story so that if someone is in the rain it’s almost as if they are being cleansed.

Weather is a symbol that is in many pieces fro all different genres whith different symbolic menings. The symbolism that f. Asott Fitzgerold was udsed in the novel The great gastby describes change in everything. There are 4 seasn with each unique weather that symbolizes time and the societys change. Weather in The Great Gatsby symbolizes everything and evryonee. Fitzgerad uses the

This time I will be talking about the tone. The overall tone is supposed to be ominous as shown by the storm mainly. Generally a stormy background is supposed to cause the image in the reader's head that it is gloomy and scary. It almost is there like you can’t see what is happening, like anything could sneak up on you. In a storm you can’t hear what is creeping up you cause the sound of the rain covers it and you never know

Weather, in the form of wind, thunder and lightning, and mist, provides powerful symbolism for the conflicts in Tony's life.	

In the natural world, weather is unpredictable and can strike at any moment. However, in literature the author has the power to decide when a storm will hit. As explained in Thomas C. Foster’s How to Read Literature Like a Professor, the author always has a purpose behind a weather occurrence. Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger has instances of snow and rain that undoubtedly serve a deeper meaning than just drenching the protagonist. The instances of snow and rain in Catcher in the Rye bear symbolic representation of struggle, which ultimately leads to a cleanse.

Weather is used in every piece of literature to give the writing a since of tone. Rain typically represents a drowsy, sad and mellow atmosphere, while heat brings out the frustration between characters. In The Great Gatsby weather is used in these general terms, but has two very important details that the average reader often overlooks. The two types of weather, heat and rain, are brought to life and acts as a mask to hide the true feeling of the characters. In The Great Gatsby Fitzgerald uses weather as a symbol of the revelation of truth that Daisy and Gatsby come to on their own.

The weather does more than fit the scene’s energy; often, the weather mirrors the protagonist’s attitudes and feelings, helping readers sympathize and connect with the characters. The first several chapters, set at Gateshead, are rainy, cold, and dreary, paralleling Eyre’s hopeless outlook. According to Thomas Foster, one of rain’s several potential purposes in a novel is to add an air of mystery, isolation, and misery. For example, when Jane is locked in the red-room, “the beclouded afternoon was tending to drear twilight...the rain

Julius Caesar and The Great Gatsby both utilizes the changes in weather in the narrative to symbolize the moments that were happen. In Julius Caesar a storm happens with “Thunder and lightning” and “scolding winds” this is used to represent the status of Rome at the moment . however it’s also used to create the mood, foreshadowing the death of Caesar, making it storm on the day he will die (Shakespeare). This is similar to The Great
