Comparatively, ‘The kite runner’, explores the disparity created by differences in cultural backgrounds. This connection manifests in the relationship between Amir and Hassan, though Amir is true to Hassan in private, he feels the need to relate to Hassan according to the prevailing social hierarchy in public. “Afghanistan is the land of the Pashtun’s…not the flat-nosed Hazara’s, these people pollute our homeland. They dirty our blood.” The inclusive language at the beginning of the quote is aimed at the Pashtun’s whereas the negative connotations of ‘pollute’ and ‘dirty’ emphasise the subservient position of the Hazara’s in the Afghani society and thus losing their sense of placement within society. Amir has to face that fact he is disloyal to his relationship with Hassan and begins personal growth. “He’s my servant! Had I really though that?” “Everywhere I turned I saw signs of his loyalty, his goddamn unwavering loyalty.” the absence of conjunction emphasises his thorough regrets that act as a barrier preventing him from

Connotation adds a deeper meaning to simple words. Luis says, “ … ‘good food’(3).” Luis is trying to show that the food in their town isn’t as good as the food on the other side of town. Then, Luis goes on to say, “ Decided we were men not boys” (11). By him including that it is saying that they were growing up and wanted to be the bigger people in the situation.

(1.4. ). Remarks like this provide ample opportunity for Goneril to rebuke Lear for having an "all licens'd Fool" (1.4. ). In addition, the Fool calls Lear a "sheal'd peascod" (1.4. ). This is another way of saying he is empty. He is nothing.

'With the land of Chup, on the dark side of Kahani?This looks like the doing of the leader of the Chupwalas, the Cult master of Bezaban.'(H.S.S. Pg 75) This statement from the text has a very symbolic meaning behind it, both in terms of the

"It was a pleasure to burn” (Bradbury 1). This quote represents the protagonist, Montag’s initial perspective of fire. Montag was content with his life and his job in this scene. However, all of this was to change. In Ray Bradbury’s dystopian fiction Fahrenheit 451, Montag lives in a society where reading books is illegal. Montag’s job as a fireman is to burn books and anyone who owns them. After an interesting encounter with Clarisse, Montag realizes that he has been fooled all his life. He realizes that books hold an infinite amount of knowledge. This novel follows Montag’s journey and crusade to learn the wonders books hold. From the call to

“Heinrich Heine on Burning Books” is a passage written by Austin Cline that speaks about the most infamous deeds Nazi Germany is known for, burning books and burning people.

“Where they have burned books, they will end in burning human beings” is a famous quote said by Heinrich Heine, which relates to the concept of book burning, seen in the novel Fahrenheit 451. Ray Bradbury uses his unique literary style to write the novel Fahrenheit 451; where he brings his readers to a future American Society which consists of censorship, book burning, and completely oblivious families. The novel’s protagonist, Guy Montag, is one of the many firemen who takes pride in starting fires rather than putting them out, until he encounters a seventeen-year-old girl named Clarisse McClellan. As the novel progresses, the reader is able to notice what Clarisse’s values are in the novel, how her innocence and

After venturing into the wilderness and accepting that books are not bad, he sees a fire, “like a winking eye...afraid he might blow it out ...not burning. But warming” (145).

In a not so distant future, where fireman burn down buildings with books inside of them, instead of putting them out, Ray Bradbury shows the inevitability of self destruction. Montag is a fireman, who has been questioning the ethicality of their work by secretly collecting illegal books for months. Eventually his wife, Mildred pulls the alarm and his boss, Beatty, forces him to burn his own house down. Bradbury’s novel, Fahrenheit 451, shows how the rebirth of either an individual or society requires self destruction through the motif of fire, which symbolizes destruction, and Montag’s burning of his own house.

Joyce uses diction to support the overall tone of “Araby,” through his use of words and phrases such as “had grown somber. . .” (Joyce 400) and “musty. . .” (Joyce 400). The verbiage he uses constructs a dull and increasingly gloomy image as if darkness is enclosing the town being depicted. Word choices like “waste. . .” (Joyce 400) and “useless. . .” (Joyce 400) convey the stagnant environment that encases the lifeless neighborhood the boy lives in. Joyce communicates the dreariness that cloaks Dublin by using dreadful adjectives to describe the setting. The young boy’s short lived “confused adoration” (Joyce 401) for his friend’s sister, is depicted using feminine words in association with her, such as “petticoat. . .” (Joyce 401) and “soft. . .” (Joyce 400). When the speaker is professing Mangan’s sister’s control over him, he proclaims, “[m]y body [is] like a harp and her words and gestures [are] like fingers running upon the wires” (Joyce 401). The boy reveals his ignorance by incorrectly calling harp strings, “wires. . .” (Joyce 401). This simple error portrays his confusion about his own feelings and the reasoning behind them. The author uses diction to support the tone of the short story, “Araby,” through his choice of words that reveal both the glum atmosphere of the setting and the naive affection being displayed by the speaker.

In The Tale of Sohrab, originally written by Abolqasem Ferdowsi, irony strikes not only the family of Rostam , but also many other characters. There are many interpretations and translations of the story and in some adaptations the irony that makes the story so great is lost due to translation or shortening. The translation of the Shahnameh by Dick Davis and the graphic novelization of the story by Bruce Bahmani both clearly tell the same story, The Tale of Sohrab. Despite this, Davis’s translation is more ironic than Bahmani’s graphic novel because Bahmani shortens the story and leaves out or changes a few key elements.

Connotation or the iconic message is not as easily explained as either the denotive or linguistic messages. Significantly Barthes has left the discussion of this message to the very end of his essay. The signs that constitute connotation are discontinuous. There is no definite way in which to interpret the separate, connotative message and in the ‘composition’ of the three (denotative, connotative and linguistic) signs an ‘aesthetic signified’ is carried. In much the same way as in text; when intonation is applied, it is a separate signifier than that of the text itself in a linguistic

Shakespeare exhibits an idiom on line 295 by displaying Casca's literal illiteracy of Greek is the source of the phrase. Through the use of an idiom, Shakespeare uses its usual meaning to play on the hesitation among the conspirators about Cicero's arrogance to Caesar's increasingly majestic behavior
