Stylistic Patterns In Darkness And Darkness By Joseph Marowe

While reading a well written story I am conscious of the atmosphere the author creates through the particular style they choose to use. As a reader, I am able to admire the way in which the writer presents their characters and setting, and be conscious of the overall voice used in their writing. The "voice" used in the writing is often the most obvious aspect of an author's style to detect. The author's "voice" is the way

To most, when asked to define what Gothic is, they will state that it is similar to any other story, just with more “darkness.” This is because Gothic stories all have a classic story line. First, there is the main character’s back story, if any is then told. Next, there are events that lead up to a horrible incident that is the climax of the story. Lastly, the character finds some way to fix the situation or free him- or herself from it. They might go insane, commit suicide, run away, or watch other characters perish. However, readers would be greatly mistaken if they thought that this was all that there is to a Gothic story; there is much more to the Gothic than meets the

A mental disorder, or mental illness, can be a very serious issue in the world today. Not only today but even back many years ago.

Authors have different ways to convey the emotions from their work to the reader. Diction and sentence structure is one of the many components authors use to create the tone of the story, also known as the author’s attitude towards the subject. But with the use of figurative language it helps express the meaning of a line without using its literal definition. Homer, the author of The Odyssey, used figurative language to express the tone by using personification and similes to help the reader picture and sense his words.

This paper discusses the use of stylistic features in passing the message to the readers, with

Quotation marks are the grammar resource that Philbrick uses in chapter 3 to represent in a very natural way the characters’ emotions and expressions. He uses quotations to play with the reader’s imagination and transport us into a different world where we can appreciate a better view of this whaling experience. He mixes quotations with some other punctuation marks, such as exclamation points or question marks so that he can help the reader to understand in a better way what is happening aboard The Essex. It is what happens when he emphasizes in expressions like: “There she blows!”

In his essay, Paul Bogard argues that it is necessary to preserve darkness. Paul is trying to persuade the reader to take his side and help him achieve his goal of saving natural darkness. To do this, Paul uses tons of rhetorical devices and appeals to emotions while also providing facts and studies to support his argument. His main weapon though, is the way he talks to the reader. His tone is what makes his essay an effective one.

Imagery is a very important aspect of literature. Many different types of imagery exist and there is at least one dramatic purpose for each image. By analyzing William Shakespeare's

A final feature in the text which is vital for creating an emotional connection with the audience is the style in which it is written as it conveys Galloways personality, which allows the reader to understand the meaning of the text and relate to it, making it easier to connect with. The first element of style that Galloway uses to her advantage is formality; rather than writing it in a complex and serious manner, the writer presents the text in a light-hearted way making it more accessible and enjoyable. Aspects of the text which contribute towards are informality are the use of slang - "LURV", "stunk like a month-old kipper"; use of short sentences - "This did not trouble me. I was a biddable child. Most are."; and parenthesis - "(there were no men in our house)". These stylistic features all mirror the structure of natural, spoken language, therefore the reader feels as

     Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad is a novel about a man named Marlow and his journey into the depths of the African Congo. Marlow is in search of a man named Kurtz, an ivory trader. Though Marlow?s physical journey seems rather simple, it takes him further into his own heart and soul than into the Congo.

the whole novel: “the linguistic pattern of choices realizes a primitive pattern of cognition, which in turn is the key to the tragic vision of the novel.”(Leech & Short, 2001: 32) Halliday being the widely acknowledged precursor of functional stylistics, the eminent German linguist-critic Leo Spitzer (1887-1960), is likewise father of literary stylistics. In his insistence that the smallest detail of language can unlock the “soul” of a literary work, he maintains the task of stylistics is to provide a hard-and-fast technology of analysis: I would maintain that to formulate observation by means of words is not to cause the artistic beauty to evaporate in vain intellectualities; rather, it makes for a widening and deepening of the aesthetic taste. It is only a frivolous love that cannot survive intellectual definition; great love prospers with understanding. (Leech & Short, 2001: 2) A question which is often asked in this connection is “At which end do we start, the aesthetic or the linguistic?” The image used by Spitzer of the “philological circle”, the circle of understanding, however, seems to suggest there is no logical staring point. Spitzer argues that the task of Linguistic-literary explanation proceeded by the movement to and fro from linguistic details to the

The Darkness' is a poem written by Lord Byron in 1816, around the Romantic period. Byron has stated that the poem was inspired by the events of Mount Tambora, which was a volcano that erupted in the Dutch East indies that caused surreal weather phenomenon's, such as inexplicable darkness and cold temperatures in Geneva, where Byron was at the time, and eventually where he wrote the poem. This event caused many authors to suspect that this eruption, and the following weather events, was a sign that linked to the biblical apocalypse.

Literature has enabled all living life to communicate and build significant jobs since the dawn of time. Likewise, reading and writing provide us with impeccable information and allows individuals to liberally express their valid and unique opinions with different uses of toneーdetail, syntax and imagery . This powerful addition to our communication allows society to thoroughly comprehend the attitude in which an individual is speaking with. Regarding this, Mistero Buffo’s story, The Birth of the Jongleur initiates these values. To commence, Tone is “a quality, feeling, or attitude expressed by the words that someone uses in speaking or writing” (Merriam-Webster). Within this powerful passage, readers can come to a conclusion that tone is a crucial structure of literature. Mistero Buffo exquisitely showcases that tone defines the overall theme through detail, the mindset of the author’s point of view towards the fundamental topic presented and simply how imagery is used effectively so that readers may envision the plot while reading.
