Study on the Symbolic Meaning of the Main Characters’ Name in The Scarlet Letter” (2015), suggests that Nathaniel Hawthorne uses symbolism to greatly enhance the importance of three of the main characters in his novel. Lei supports her suggestion by talking about the different ways in which each character’s name is symbolic, and how that directly correlates with their characteristics and their actions. Lei’s purpose is to elaborate on the depth of the main characters names in order to reveal to the
It has no beginning, no end, just a long list of causes and effects, repeating patterns and cycles as it stretches through time. Isabel Allende, in the novel The House of the Spirits demonstrates how history repeats itself and that everything is connected through the repetition of events, the inter-generational storyline and the ending of cycles. Throughout the novel, events, motifs, and characteristics are mirrored, bringing attention to the cyclic nature of the novel, as well as connecting characters
white mug, with my name ‘Lizz’ printed in a colorful playful font. I love my unique mug not only because of the fun design, but because it is personalized for me. The personalization of the mug makes me feel connected to my special mug. If another member of my family were to use my mug, they would feel no connection to it. When an item or product is personalized to us, we feel an instant connection to the object. Why have a plain mug, when you can have one with your name on it? Personalized
look past the surface of a literary work to find a deeper or hidden meaning. Writers use devices, such as symbolism, imagery, foreshadowing, irony and allusion to reveal these meanings. If these are overlooked, important aspects of the story can be lost. One literary device that Foster emphasizes in his book is allusion. Every story has elements of another story, and Foster devotes Chapters Four through Seven explaining the meaning of allusion in works by Shakespeare, the Bible, and fairy tales.
A person is created by the experiences they go through and by the things they learn throughout their life. It is the question of who each individual is and what makes up their identity. Writers, no matter the type, have been addressing the issue of identity for thousands of years. One playwright who stands out in this regard is Shakespeare and his play Hamlet. The play continually questions who the individuals are and what makes up the person they are. Yet another play can be associated with Shakespeare’s
are closely connected. Language and vocabulary determines someone’s thought process. Based on the words in the dictionary, which make up language, a person’s thoughts are limited and restricted. In the novel, 1984, by George Orwell, Winston Smith, the protagonist, wants to overthrow a totalitarian government that follows rules of a fabricated man, Big Brother, in Oceania.

He does however live up to the name of being famous, but there are many characteristics that the name Lewis does not
Like all great stories throughout time, a compelling villain is the key to making a story worthwhile. In short stories like, “Where have you been, where are you going,” and, “Love in LA,” a though provoking antagonist was used by the authors to really give the stories some depth. The antagonist of, “Where have you been…”Arnold Friend takes on the persona of temptation to the protagonist Connie and really emphasizes the theme of be careful what you wish for. Connie was a young girl who repeatedly
in a racial way then there would have been no reason in explaining the roots of the name. Just like Mercy Hospital, if the street was like any other street in the community then no one would have thought twice about it and there for the story would have kept moving along as if nothing were different. The story behind Doctor Street immediately magnifies the impact the theme race has in the book Song of Solomon. Southside, Mercy Hospital, and Doctor Street are all prominent figures of racial elements
Language Rationale Language, simply put, is a system of symbols with an agreed upon meaning that is shared within a group of individuals. Maria Montessori understood that children have to learn language, that it is not inborn. She also understood the adolescent mind has a long sensitive period for language. Because language is deeply connected to the process of thinking, the child will need to be spoken to and listened to often. Each child learns language at their own rate and pace. There can
