The tone of Across the Bay, is desolate. Both the tone of the text and the tone of recitation have a sense of desertion, and emptiness. Through this tone, Donald Davie is able to share his message of regret and sorrow. Davie talks about “murderous scenes” and a hurt that “goes on hurting.” From this, it is understood that something happened in the past that has caused repentant feelings. There are slight repetitions in the poem both within each stanza and throughout the three stanzas. In the first stanza, Davie writes, “I did not miss them, I do not remember missing them.” Although not direct repetition, the repetition of I, and not, bring power into the poem. Throughout the stanzas, there is a repetition of structure. In each stanza there

From the very start of this essay, it is quite clear that the narrative perspective in Jack London’s “In a Far Country” is very different than the one in J.D.Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye”. Both authors have managed to catch the reader’s hearts, but each of them through their specific, unique way of storytelling. Jack London has shown us the beauty and the cruelty of nature through his mesmerizing descriptions of the Great Wild, while Salinger had his own way of showing us that adulthood shouldn’t stop us from being the children we’ve hidden because of the responsibilities and problems life has brought unto us.

The poem Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold does an effective job of expressing how he views the world and helps his audience relate to his views of an endless lonely and sad cycle the world is now undergoing. In my interpretation the poem is about the author losing faith in the world. The author uses a lot of different literary devices, but I feel that his use of personification affected the story in a way that enhance his message. I think that the sea signifies many things, which I feel changes from stanza to stanza. The sea is given many emotions to be, such as sadness and happiness, which varies from each stanza. He starts off by saying “The sea is calm tonight” I think that this signifies himself, and how when he looks at

Through the use of a fairy tale structure, the author successfully reveals that a sad beginning, and the obstacles the protagonist David must face may lead to psychological and physical peril; conversely a

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger will always be considered a classic, but many debate on whether this book should be taught in high school English classes. It in fact should be taught because teenagers can find many aspects of the novel relatable, and can learn from the obvious mistakes of Holden Caulfield and apply the themes of this book to their own lives. Even though the text involves some bad habits, readers should look for the bigger pictures and appreciate the novel for the themes it gives.

As they disembarked fear was written on Santiago’s face, but as soon he stepped off the boat he felt extremely foolish. He was greeted by a small port town completely ordinary aside from the sweltering heat. He smiled and shook his

Alright, let's get this straight, growing up sucks and just life in general! However there’s nothing you can do about it and you have to go through it whether you like it or not. Thing is Holden from “Catcher in The Rye” realizes this throughout the novel and slowly becomes depressed. Much like holden, people find out things about life and maybe get depressed because of it.

The attitude of the author was very indifferent. He chose not to talk about the tragic lives lost in the poem, but rather the ships loss. Through his use of diction, personification, and irony, he gives the idea that it was all just destiny, and there was nothing that the ship could do. God

The teen years for many adolescents have been proven to be a time of relationship identity, growth and struggle. Such is the case in the abovementioned movie. The adolescents in this movie, tackle issues that are synonymous with being a developing teenager. For instance, peer pressure, academic challenges and parent-teen conflicts were easily visible throughout the movie. Many of the adolescents had a strong tendency to mesh with other adolescents whose character roles and goals aligned with their own. These adolescents are at a pivotal point in their developmental stage (identity versus identity diffusion) where they are trying to develop a sense of self and personal identity. This is essential for their development into adulthood. In addition,

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger is one of the most influential books of its time. It has traces of all parts of life during the day that it was written and published, in 1951. It is about a young man that had trouble with not getting kicked out of schools. The story begins with him telling us he is having a flashback while he is in a mental hospital. He begins by saying how much he hates his roommate and his neighbor who is a slob. Holden, the main character, argues with his roommate about a girl that he used to date and his roommate, Stradlater, is now dating. Stradlater, being a bigger and stronger guy, beats Holden up and bloodies his face. This was enough for Holden and he decided to leave Pencey. He went home to New York City, but decided not to tell his parents.

One of the first ways that the setting has an impact is on the characters. In the beginning, Jerry is on the safe beach but wants to join the older boys who are diving. As he swims, Jerry sees the older boys jump from the “promontory” into the water (2). Although Jerry is not with the boys, he knows that he could jump into the water just like the boys in the story. This part, the promontory, is one of the first pieces of setting that has an impact on Jerry. Another way the setting impacts the character occurs when the painful salt water is making it hard to see the tunnel and where he is going. When Jerry is underwater he could not tell which way, he is going or were the tunnel is. Although Jerry could have given up when he faced this part of the setting and left, he realized that he could fix this problem by getting goggles from his mother. His maturity level picked up when he did this. It shows that he wants to succeed with the process getting through the tunnel. When a person is mature, he can often look at things differently. For an example

The relationship between setting and theme is very close, the setting is like a groundwork of the theme building, makes everything reasonable and logically. It is the culture and society that shapes the story, conveys a sense of atmosphere, which helps convey the more implicit elements. The society in which a narrative is set shapes the mentality of the characters, their behaviors, and their responses to their environment, also contributing to a specific theme. In Everyday Use, this story is from a Black Nationalist Movement background, many African Americans struggled for cultural and political identity, that’s why in this condition Dee and her boyfriend were change themselves in names, dressing and custom, even feel doubt of their heritage

Many other authors, like Matthew Arnold, began writing their personal accounts of what they experienced or saw others experiencing, giving the feeling of melancholy. The reason why Dover Beach represents the Victorian period is because in the way Arnold wrote it, he didn’t ground himself or stick to one specific subject. He creates a mood by using a variety of images, metaphors, similes, and adjectives. The narrator seems lonely, not mentioning any other person around him. One of the other major problems being experienced during this time are also represented in this poem. That problem is the loss of faith. Because of the new developments,

Matthew Arnold was born in the early 19th century in England and began his career as a poet who earned acclaim very quickly at his school, Rugby School. As he grew older he became a teacher at his alma mater and as the years passed, his passion for education and knowledge paved the way into what Arnold became most well-known for, critical essays and poetry. In this time he wrote some of his best works which earned him a teaching position at Oxford as a teacher of poetry. From that point on, his career in critical essays and poetry really took off with very critically acclaimed works such as “To Marguerite – Continued” and “Dover Beach.” Arnold’s poems, such as “Dover Beach,” often focus on solitude, romance, and faith, which was very popular at the time, so many of his poems were published and much-admired. In “Dover Beach” Arnold uses symbolism, varying points-of-view, and rhyme scheme to express to the reader that love is fleeting.
