This deliverance applies, in particular, to the narrator in Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper,” and the father in “The Boat,” by Alistair MacLeod.

The function of the father’s books in “The Boat,” and the narrator’s diary in “The Yellow Wallpaper,” is to serve as an instrument of escapism, rebellion, and self-expression, within the controlled existence of

Quentin immediately remembered Margo’s saying, “the rules of capitalization are so unfair to the words in the middle of a sentence.” (Pg. 236).

The sea in a way is like a living being. The way it rhythmically carries itself, showing all of its majestic beauty. The sea has such power, each wave coordinately smashing against whatever stands in its way. Sea erosion, most commonly known as coastal erosion, is the slow process of wave action constantly shaping and reshaping the coastlines of our world. In The Old Man and the Sea, Ernest Hemingway portrays nature as a continuum-an endless progression of the invention and destruction which is ultimately balanced in perfect unanimity. Within this continuum in each living thing pursues its destiny set forth by the laws of nature. Thus, Santiago like the coastlines is molded by the seas into the expert seaman, able to read the sea, sky, and its respective creatures that make the old man a champion among fisherman.

The sea can symbolize a multitude of emotions; some believe the sea is a simple for loneliness and some believe it is a symbol of peacefulness. Many writers of used variations of these two things to fit the story they are writing.

Not to say that it is necessarily “bad”, with all the possible interpretations, which bring about the book’s own sense of mystery, and actually decent characterization, perhaps it is worthwhile. But, nonetheless; the most boring, unexciting book I have ever feasted (or perhaps forcefully overindulged) my eyes upon. I guess it just wasn’t quite my cup of sea.

Both The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway and “To Build a Fire” by Jack London both explore the literary conflict of man verses nature. Both main characters share many similarities; however, they also have various differences that set them apart as well. In The Old Man and the Sea the story is about Santiago, an old fisherman who sets out one day and catches the fish of a lifetime. Santiago then spends multiple days fighting the fish in the middle of the ocean. “To Build a Fire” is about a nameless traveler who goes hiking on a trail out in the Yukon with his dog to make it to his base camp. He hikes in fifty below weather and have literally walked on thin ice to make it to his destination safely. Despite being from different stories in different settings, both men share similarities while they also share many differences that ultimately caused the men to suffer different fates.
