This passage is based on a simile comparing a literary work to a polaroid photograph. At the beginning, it is difficult to see where it will go - only “grayish green murkiness” is visible. Slowly, the image becomes clear. Instead of saying that they think of a detail, the author says that they “see” it. She believes that the story already exists and is waiting for them to discover it. Their subconscious contains memories that have been combined into a story. I have never experienced anything like this. I have rarely “felt” which character should be introduced or what they would do, although I have sometimes realized that it would be better to take the story in a different direction. I don't fully agree with the simile of watching a polaroid
Her choice of words paints vivid pictures and instills strong feelings appropriate to the situation written at hand. The diction reveals what the characters look like as well as their personality, or clues to their personality. It moves the story forward by showing how the events transition with her choice of words and in the way she reveals characters or happenings. Brooke Hauser's choice of figurative language conveys how dire a situation may be, how joyful it may be, and how the features of the characters appear to be in comparison to objects. Her use of figurative language makes it easier to picture the characters as well as obtain an idea of how the characters may feel at the time. The figurative language reveals, in detail, the appearance of the characters as well as their personality. An example would be on page forty-seven, which says, "...the farmer's face, its broad planes darkened in shadows like a field under a passing cloud." Brooke's use of figurative language moves the story forward by revealing new characters, the feelings of characters, and/or new locations. The author's use of sensory detail contributes greatly to the struggles and emotions of the students. In the way she uses it, she shows how horrific an event may be, how disheartening something may be, and/or how cheerful and jovial something may be. She uses sensory details to reveal the, typically physical, features of characters.
Visual imagery is often the first step to subconsciously sending the reader into a parallel state of mind as the protagonist, and letting them experience what the characters experienced throughout the story. The visuals used in the beginning of this story convince readers that they have been placed in a safe, secure environment, therefore having a positive effect on readers when they
While other may just quickly glance at the narrator’s paintings and not notice anything, Rockwell had always examined the narrator’s work in silence and noticed the subtle details of the narrator’s paintings. Because of Rockwell’s unconventionality, he is able to discern through the façade the narrator puts on and unveil his true identity. Unlike the other individuals who have scrutinized the narrator’s paintings, Rockwell began “frowning at a picture [the narrator] had made.” This illustrates his peculiar thoughts where he is capable of discovering something different from the narrator’s paintings of Sara. Rockwell is able to analyze the meaning behind the narrator’s paintings of Sara and eventually pry out the true meaning of his artwork. Rockwell represents the brutal, cold reality that the narrator must confront and accept. This is demonstrated through his honest, direct words as he tells the narrator that he is “doing [him] a favour by telling you this.” He wishes that the narrator will gradually begin to abandon his painful past and embrace the reality that he must end up confronting. Towards the end, even
The chosen interpretation rests on how the narrator’s character is analyzed through her hidden thoughts and concerns. In the following paragraphs, we’ll look at how the author, Gilman, uses indirect characterization to reveal the narrator’s character through emphasis on the narrator’s thoughts.
The narrator early on in the story shows how he is able to see every little

Vivid images can be found abundantly throughout the novel and helps to portray scenes to the point where the audience can actually imagine, smell, touch, and hear everything that is going on. “No matter how they scrubbed their hands, the residue of Red Hot Mama had a way of sticking round, as pesty and persistent as a chaperone at a high school dance.” (158). In some instances the audience can acquire a sense, based on the description whether the characters are self absorbed, considerate, or overly concerned about their appearance. “I ought to be shot for looking like this” she’d tell the mirror in the front hall before going out the door. “I look like I’ve been drug through hell backwards,” she would say on and ordinary day. “Like death warmed over. Like something the cat puked up.” (103). The emergence of the images presented in the novel can help present a better understanding and in some cases, a connection to one of the

The imagery shows that they had hope in their eyes, which helps create emotion that the reader feels about the character. An example of this in the short story is when the author said “By the time he got to senior year in high school, his GPA was hovering in the slam dunk position”. The imagery the unknown author uses makes the reader understand that even though he was hurt and his grades

As a way of characterizing, Hemmingway uses different types of literary devices in the story "Hills Like White Elephants. " This can be seen by the reader with the girl having to make a really important decision that can have a great effect on her life either negatively or postively. It states, "But if I do it, then it will be nice again if I say things are like white elephants, and you'll like it?" The diction Hemmingway chose to use, shows that not only does the girl worry a lot about her and the man's future, she also cares about keeping their relationship going as it is, as a way of feeling adored by him.

Polarimetric imaging is an emerging technique that uses polarized generated light to probe the acceptance of the tissue with the predefined different independent variable states. The potential of Mueller decomposition images to discriminate the Breast tissue to generate scattering intensities images with different optical setup states of seven and four independent variables and with this technique we can characterize the soft matter breast tissue we has selected. We report the potential of Mueller decomposition images to discriminate the Breast tissue to generate expected scattering intensities images with different optical states of different seven and different four independent variables. Polarimetric imaging is an new emerging technique that uses polarized light to probe the acceptance of the tissue with the different predefined independent variable states. A polar decomposition technique reveals the polarization parameters of the soft matter breast tissue effectively. It is observed there is a change in the Mueller matrix that which is used to obtain from the Breast tissue with the states of expected seven and four independent analyzed variables.
