From her childhood, Hillam grew up with the lilac tree blooming around her mother’s birthday. After her father’s death, her family moves into their grandmother’s house for fear of deportation. She sits with her mother and brothers “And I wanted to see the lilac tree, imagining it full of blossoms. I had always liked the fragrance of lilacs…There was no lilac tree, and Papa was not here to sing his songs of love” (36). She associates the lilac tree with the happiness of her old life. She misses her father and wants desperately to get back to the time where they were all together and life was normal.

In general, the color white symbolizes innocence, purity, and cleanliness. In the novel, the color white is closely associated with Daisy. “White, even after one excludes near-synonyms such as silver, makes more appearances in the novel than any other single color, and something like three of every four are applied to East Egg or characters from East Egg, especially to Daisy” (Elmore 428). This quote proves that the color white contributes to a major theme in the novel. Daisy wears white to show her innocence. The first time Nick sees Daisy and Jordan, they are both wearing white. Nick describes seeing the women in the quote, “They were both in white, and their dresses were rippling and fluttering as if they had just been blown back in after a short flight around the house” (Fitzgerald 8). It was the women, so magical and light, like birds or butterflies that flew around the house. They could fly, but they didn't fly far, only around the house which they got blown back into. These women don't have much ambition or power on their own. They are housebound, even though they can fly. In the beginning of the novel, the reader believes Daisy is innocent. Even her name Daisy is a kind of white flower. When introduced to her for the first time, people feel that she is pure, flawless, and noble. This is one of the reasons Gatsby is infatuated with her throughout his life and regards her as a pure beauty. The

The color white was first introduced when Nick meets Tom, and they both walk into this open room where Jordan and Daisy laid in white dresses. “They were both in white… around the house”(8). The color white in connected to the idea of innocence. Before the book progresses, anyone or anything being seen as white was seen as pure and clean. As the characters develop, you may notice that none of the major characters who have done something wrong are not wearing white. A few

Likewise, another object that holds relevance in this particular novel is the peach blossoms that appear throughout the story as repeated symbolism or a motif. This means that the object or relevant detail is repeated in a pattern of meaning to convey an emotion, idea, or element. The peach blossoms not only appear at the beginning of the short story where they fall before the two-day battle that began on April 6, 1862, near the southwestern Tennessee church from which the bloody clash takes its name, but also near the end to signify the new feelings and emotions that Joby experiences. In other words, the peach blossoms, in this case, corresponds with the idea of serenity and peace of mind because as seen on line 1-2, “In the April night, more than once,

“If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older.” In “Cherry Bomb,”Clair uses symbolism, imagery, and setting to characterize the adult narrators memories of childhood and 5th grade summer world.

In most of Cherry’s poems, particularly “Alzheimer’s” lines 15-22, she sometimes reveals her most impressive passages in order to portray her life: the very being of her existence (Clabough 3). She seems to do this in most of her works so that all the thoughts and feelings of the story can be felt by those reading the works without ever having to experience the situation. In addition, she is adamant her works can and will utilize autobiographical materials to create artistic and philosophical truths on the same level as presented in “Alzheimer’s” (Chappell 257). She speaks of this autobiographical information in a commentary regarding her father’s early life, her parent’s love for music, her childhood, and her father’s diagnosis of a disease that steals his identity. Stating that hearing the diagnosis was like hearing the screeching of violin strings at her first lesson (Cherry). The first glimpse of using this type of information in an artistic form is in lines 19-22 when she vividly draws a picture of her father in his younger years. He remembers how he looked, what he wore and that his favorite pastime was music. It is also clear he remembers his home in all of its glory but not those that lived there with him.

The first landscape feature that is described are, “the tops of trees” (Chopin 203). Trees are commonly attributed to nature and the symbol of life. Although the author has attributed the trees in this story with the literary term personification, as the trees, “were all aquiver with the new spring life” (Chopin 203). The author has attributed the trees to movement as the protagonist begins to desire to be in the cycle of nature. The protagonist relates to the trees because the trees are no longer weighed down by the heavy snow, thus allowing the trees to grow again, which is similar to the protagonist, as she is no longer confined by her husband, but she desires to be rebirthed (Lucas). Consequently, the protagonist was learning her desires to participate in life as an independent individual and to have restrictions a memory in the past. Therefore, the protagonist is beginning to participate down the path of becoming

What did that tree, leaning out from the bank, all white and lacy, make you think of? She asked. Well now, I dunno, said Matthew. Why a bride, of course- a bride all in white with a lovely misty veil.” (Montgomery, 65-66) It is identified here how nature pleases Anne’s eye. The way in which she is able to take a tree branch and bring it to life by imagining that is connected with something beautiful like a bride. It doesn’t only suggest her inquisitive imagination, but also her intellect. With using the enjoyments of nature to foster a desire, and with her perceptive vision she is capable of imagining the branch as something else. Through its beauty and emphasis on colour she can make a connection that the tree branch can be compared to a bride. It is crucial how Anne doesn’t take the natural sights of Avonlea for granted, because she values the power of self-expression in nature. Through her imagination with nature she is able to seek comfort. This is seen on her first night in Avonlea, when she’s afraid no one will come for her, so she turns to a tree as her home, where she can sleep. She states, “I had made up my mind that if you didn’t come for me and to-night I’d go down the track to that big wild cherry-tree at the bend, and climb up into it to stay all night.” (Montgomery, 64) This scene represents how Anne is reliant on nature. Instead of being afraid that no one has yet to pick her up she uses nature to occupy her time. She is inspired by nature to

    Anton Chekhov uses The Cherry Orchard, to openly present the decline of an aristocratic Russian family as a microcosm of the rapid decline of the old Russia at the end of the nineteenth century--but also provides an ominous foreshadowing of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution in the disparate ideals of his characters, Trofimov and Lopakhin, however unintentionally. The Gayev family and their plight is intended as a symbolic microcosm of the fall of the aristocracy in society at large. Though the merchant Lopakhin is presented as the character who holds values of the new, post-aristocratic age, the student Trofimov espouses the political sentiments that will ultimately replace both the

Mamma! Are you crying, mamma? My dear, good, sweet mamma! Darling, I love you! I bless you! The Cherry orchard is sold; it?s gone; its quite true, it?s quite true. But don?t cry, mamma, you?ve still got life before you, you?ve still got your pure and lovely soul. Come with me, darling, and come away from here. We?ll plant a new garden, still lovelier than this. You will see it and understand, and happiness, deep, tranquil happiness will sink down on your soul, like the sun at eventide, and you?ll smile, mamma. Come, darling, come with me!
