Literary Commentary In 'All The Pretty Horses'

Analyzing literature was a new concept for me until my freshman year of high school. It was first introduced as commentary; an explanation that comes after the concrete detail. Usually two points are made in commentary. I thought it was to shorten and repeat a quote, but with a twist, we get to add comments. I recalled the teacher having us watch a music video and then read the lyrics to the song titled, “Wings” by Macklemore. She would read and reread each line aloud to help us decode its meaning

Lemonade Joe, a film made by director Jiri Brdecka in 1964, is a wacky, Czechoslovak musical comedy. It serves as a satire of the typical western movie - a major defining genre of the American film industry. From the 1930’s through the 1960’s, western movies were at the height of their popularity. Set in the American frontier, they represent a rugged, action-packed lifestyle, where good always triumphs over evil. To this day, although not as inherently popular, the western has been done time and

despite Mitchell’s best intentions to keep her writing, “simple and stripped bare,” her Gone with the Wind created the paradoxical view of the Old South, using romanticism and social commentary. Margaret Mitchell’s romantic view of the Old South, which was obtained throughout her childhood, combined with a medley of literary devices helps create her simplistic writing style. This uncommon mixture affected the novel, both negatively and positively. While her inherent racism helps Gone with the Wind to

Mark Twain's Personality Revealed in His Writing Literary artists refuse to be categorized, defined, and completely fathomed by any standardized paradigm, but a writer's work exhibits his or her personality traits. Though authors are incapable of being defined by mere personality traits, literary accomplishments, and literary criticisms, an author's personality can be used to sketch a limited definition of his or her literature. Mark Twain's literature manifests his personality's candor, graphicness

everyday objects and experiences provide a world that is both real and tangible to the reader. The novel defies the expectations of social-class, and gender, and transcends various literary genres, while the setting purposely enhances the character’s inner feelings and emotions meritoriously, allowing more freedom for commentary, and the expression of taboo topics than solely through the dialogue of the characters. To deliberate these points further the settings of Gateshead, Lowood and Thornfield

Essentially, The Divine Comedy describes Dante's journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise guided at first by the Roman poet Virgil, and then by Beatrice, the subject of his undying love.

underdevelopment. While the technology was improving, the social class structure and treatment of the underprivileged were not improving. Social injustices of the time were often overlooked, but there are many Victorian writers that wrote social commentaries regarding to these issues and Charles Dickens is one of them.
