Master Harold

Hally develops through this play from a selfish child to a young adult who takes responsibility for his own actions. In the first half of the play Hally was a privileged white teenager who is not challenged by life’s values. He was rude about his schoolteachers. When Sam asked Hally what homework he has, he responded, “Bullshit, as usual.”

I say this is because in the short story, Miss Strangeworth sends anonymous, bothersome letters to the towns people. At the end of the short story, in the line of 344 it states. Look out at what used to be your roses. From this sentence I can infer the word roses means people.

Chaucer maintain that the love triangle is represented by Duke Theseus and John the Carpenter by being the elderly authority figure because they try to control Emily and Alison,Palamon and Arcite by Knight’s tale, Absolon, and Nicholas by the Miller’s tale represent the suitors, they had love at first sight. Chaucer’s purpose for writing this text is to compare two characters that have almost the same roles in the stories but with other names and becoming a different type of story.This text is significant to our understanding of love triangle because each one compares how love should be and these stories have some similarities with now.

'Because their feathers are the colours of oil on water in sunlight they are a sign of something ' The oil on the water separates the suns visible spectrum allowing us to see all of the colours. She is becoming so depressed that she longs for something to look forward to, something that will make her think life is worth living.

In Romeo and Juliet, love is depicted in several ways. Both Luhrman and Shakespeare represent love in different ways in different contexts to both the Elizabethan era and the contemporary audience. Both the original and later manifestations of the text are valued because they both communicate to the audience on the values of love and society by employing a variety of devices.

A symbol is anything that stands for, or represents, something else. Many everyday objects we see symbolize or stand for something deeper; our wedding rings represent love and commitment, teams like the Sharks or Giants are named after animals and mythical creatures that symbolize strength, power, and stability. Similarly, in literature, symbols are used to give an object, character, or situation a deeper and more significant meaning. In literature, symbols can be ambiguous and difficult to understand because the same symbol can have different meanings; therefore, it is very important to know when and where to use symbolism in a story. For example, the color red can mean love, anger or danger depending on the context of the text.

Shakespeare's unique talent for creating poetry is effective in both establishing character and demonstrating the theme. The characters of the play all speak in poetic form with the exception of the English rustics who speak in prose. This helps to place the fairies and lovers on a higher, more transcendental plane than the artisans. Therefore, the artisans become more comical and lighten up the confusing comedy of love. The poetry of Shakespeare's genius also clarifies the play's theme of the extreme confusion and blinding powers of love. The rhythmic words help to create a magical setting of love while the rhymes portray the confusion each character feels while under the stupefying powers of love.

On the other hand, the kite is a delicate thing and to allow his/her freedom the mother has to be willing to give her child more room to grow. Which means he needs to experience life in order to succeed. Most parents are scared to let their kids travel, go to parties or universities. These are all are big steps in children's/ parents life. However, if parents don’t let these things happen, the child will most likely not become independent, and will cease to create a future of their own. Armitage shows the idea of symbolism by utilizing the anchor as well as the kite to effectively get his idea across about the mother being the anchor and child being the kite. He also brings the idea across that the bond is delicate, which means that if parents hold on too tight, their child's future could cease to exist.

Hally as a teenager was very considerate of the socio-political struggles that were going on in South Africa at that time wherein blacks were oppressed by the whites. As a result of this, he used this motive to mock Sam and Willie on several scenes in the play. “He’s a white man and that’s good enough for you.” (pg. 53) In this quote, Hally was insisting that Sam must call his father Boss since he was white and the one paying him (Sam) as he claimed.

Love is such an abstract and intangible thing, yet it is something that everyone longs for. In Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the difficulty of love is explored through the obstacles that characters have to face while pursuing their loved ones. Those characters that are in love in the play were conflicted with troubles; however, the obstacles of love do not seem to stop them from being infatuated with each other. The concept of true love is examined throughout this play. By creating obstacles using authority and a higher power, Shakespeare examines the power of love. Through Hermia and Lysander’s loving words, it is reasonable to conclude that love conquers all if you believe in it.

Throughout history flowers have been used as a form of cryptic communication to convey messages of love and interest which could not be spoken aloud. Flowers serve as a common gift to any mother or significant other on her birthday and mother’s day because of their deep set meaning which was established hundreds of years ago. The use of flowers to spread a message died years ago however they are still used to share the emotions of the sender to the receiver. Shakespeare’s use of the language of flowers in Hamlet offers insight into Elizabethan culture by providing examples of the subtextual meaning which was associated with flowers and how the audience comprehended his use if these allusions. Shakespeare’s use of the language of flowers in Hamlet offers insight into Elizabethan culture by providing examples of the relationship between his use of

Sam who is a black boy has been helping a white boy Hally. Sam becomes his moral guide, and lives as friends despite the racism that exists between the two races. They both work on the kite emphasizing the end of racial barriers. The kite is a source of hope for the two boys. It signifies desire, ambition, and freedom. It signifies the desire to demolish any racial barriers. They desire to develop a few-willed relationship. All in all the kite is used to symbolize the urge to end racism and to co-exist between the races in harmony.

Shakespeare’s usage of metaphor and simile in A Midsummer Night’s Dream is best understood as an attempt to provide some useful context for relationships and emotions, most often love and friendship, or the lack thereof. One example of such a usage is in Act 3, Scene 2 of the play. Here, the two Athenian couples wake up in the forest and fall under the effects of the flower, thus confusing the romantic relationships between them. Hermia comes to find her Lysander has fallen for Helena. Hermia suspects that the two have both conspired against her in some cruel joke, and begins lashing out against Helena. She says “We, Hermia, like two artificial gods, / Have with our needles created both one flower, / Both one sampler sitting on one cushion, / Both warbling of one song, both in one key; / As if our hands, our sides, voices, and minds, / Had been incorporate. So we grew together, / Like a double cherry, seeming parted; / But yet a union in partition / Two lovely berries moulded on one stem: / So, with two seeming bodies, but one heart; / Two of the first, like coats in heraldry, / Due but to one, and crowned with one crest.” (Shakespeare 2.3.206-13). Shakespeare writes this list of vibrant metaphors to establish the prior relationship between these two characters and to make it evident how affected Helena is by this unexpected turn of events, as well as to add a greater range of emotion to the comedy, thereby lending it more literary and popular appeal.

Hally’s favorite memory as a young boy is flying a kite with Sam in the park. Flying the kite symbolizes overcoming racial barriers between black and white people. Sam makes the kite for Hally to help him overcome his sense of shame because of his father’s drunkenness. The kite is made from “tomato-box wood and brown paper, flour and water for glue. Two of [his] mother’s old stocking for a tail and pieces of string.” (Fugard 29) At first Hally is suspicious and “had no hopes for it […] In fact [he] was shit scared [they] were going to make fools of [themselves].” (Fugard 29) Taking the step to be a white person who disagrees with racism takes a lot of determination and guts. In order for Hally to treat Sam as an equal he has to rise above the shame. The kite represents black and white people working together and being equal. They are flying the kite together, and while doing this they are on the same level. It is also significant that the kite flies beautifully
