The excerpts that given from the stories of “ The Garden Party “ and “ The Saint “ share some similarities in terms of feeling addicted or obliged to something.In the first place , if we start with “ The Saint , the narrator emphasizes that with all his “ will “ , he do not put his faith in towards Mr.Timberlake about “ walking upon the water “, so , we understand that the narrator take our attention to the idea of “ miracle ” , which is one of the major symbols of the story.For example , since Mr. Timberlake denies the whole part of the life while embracing , it is possible to consider him as a “ transfigured “ person because he is known to be religious person and earns money by being “ Saint”, but, on the other hand, he always ignores “ errors “ and looks for perfections.

the excerpt from the “ Garden Party “ , “ coat “ and “ hat “ that Laura “ shone “ with her “ frock “ can be considered as a mirror image of Mr.Timberlake’s perspective of life and miracles.Besides , the excerpt demonstrates the “ hat “ with the use of “ another “ word , which connotates a possibility idea.For instance, while Laura is known to be open minded , creative and artistic , the lack of kindness that her family vaccinate into Laura , might made him to think how irritating idea that being worn in a dazzling way , because it contradicts her own identity.So , in the light of these images , it is possible to think that the narrator’s opinion Mr.Timberlake “ would not walk upon the water “ can be interconnected with the narrator’s opinion of “ golden and bored “ because the narrator thinks that Mr.Timberlake is a golden statute , while he is a fake person.To illustrate , the idea of“ golden “ makes “ anyone easily think that it has a value, therefore, Mr.Timberlake acts like
In the story “The Lemon Tree Billiards House” Cedric Yamanaka used descriptive adjectives to express the setting, mood, and characters. In the story the author used descriptive adjectives to describe Locust Cordero by saying, “Wearing, of all things, a purple tuxedo with a red carnation on the lapel.” This allowed the reader to imagine what Locust was wearing. The author made it easy to guess that Locust had an expensive taste, and made him sound rich. The author uses this technique to make the book sound interesting.
Throughout Price’s essay, she constantly repeats the word “bold” and “boldness” which reveals her true opinion on the pink flamingos. Pink flamingos are demonstrated to be bold, yet luxurious and are figures of “leisure, and extravagance” which are connotative words that mean that they create an outer covering of reality, the “flamboyant oasis of instant riches of Las Vegas”. The use of connotative implies the similarity between the pink flamingos and flamboyant riches. In some ways, Price uses diction by emphasizing the plastic pink flamingo by discussing the importance of flamingos for their appearance. Price uses words such as bright, boldness and other characteristics to show how people view the flamingos. The color of the flamingo is
Julius M. Price’s truthful diction in “Through the Fog” shows the luxuries and struggles of different social classes through the depiction of an ignorant young girl who is dressed in warm and thick coats versus the poorer middle class woman who is dressed in a simpler coat playing a violin in order to earn money. Upon first glance, one might expect that Price’s main focus is the young girl, dressed in expensive fashion, sitting next to her mother, whose face is covered but is the only one wearing a colored coat. Already, the bright flower on the mother’s hat and her lavender-blue coat draws the viewer’s attention in. The other passengers’ faces are either covered or only drawn to the side, but the young girl’s entire face is in full view. The light hits the mother and daughter clearly, casting the rest of the passengers into shadow. The use of showing the girl’s entire face is supposed to symbolize how well-off she is compared to the other passengers, who only have partial faces or backs of their heads showing. However, the real focus is on the background characters: a group watching a woman play the violin and a man play the harp; others are sitting or standing, seeming to watch the scenery; there is one man who stands at the edge of the boat dressed in a military uniform, a sword at his side.
The attitude of heartbreak and betrayal of the speaker caused by the woman is used to contrast the connotations of the words chosen to build on the irony. He describes the situation as "trustless"(6) and "grievous"(11) due to the anguish this woman causes. The speaker employs such words to make clear the influence that she has over his emotional state. The undertone of the poem, created by rhetoric, is pessimistic as well as resentful which contributes to the speaker's attitude towards the woman. The negative emotions of the how he feels contrasts to the emotions that this woman causes by describing "the gleams which on your face do grow" (4) and her "blazing eyes"(14). Through the use of positively connotated rhetoric when describing the physical beauty of the woman, the attitude of the speaker is established to indicate his conflicting mental state. The speaker creates images through the use of emotionally charged words to compare himself and how he feels about the woman to visual images of his
Before they even leave their apartment, they argue over a hat that Julian’s mother bought. She is convinced that she must return it so the money spent on it could be invested in paying off bills, but Julian tells her to wear it and compliments her on it even though he secretly thinks it is hideous. This hat is a symbol of the conflict that exists between the two. Julian sees the hat as another relic that his mother holds on to, and as an additional form of shame that he must endure from his mother. On the other hand, Julian’s mother sees the hat as an object that defines her status in society, but she is willing to sacrifice it if it will help her son get ahead in life.
The 2015 Texas legislature passed a bill to allow concealed handgun permit holders to begin carrying their handguns openly. You do not have to conceal your gun like you did in the past. The bill was signed into law on June 13, 2015, and was effect as of January 1, 2016. Handguns should be carried in a hip or shoulder holster when out in the open now. Businesses can in fact say no to guns on their sites, areas that were considered gun-free zones before this bill took effect remain gun-free zones today. If businesses decide to ban guns they have to post signs to let their customers know. Some of the businesses in Texas (and other states) that are banning open-carry include Whataburger, H-E-B, Whole Foods, Randall’s Food Markets, Torchy’s Tacos, Jimmy Changas and Gringo’s Mexican Kitchen.

Russell shows the child’s admiration for her mother by elevating her in comparison to the audience and showing her in an ethereal point of view with heavenly diction and imagery. The excerpt opens with the narrator describing her mother as “perform[ing] in starlight” (1). The immediate association of Hilola and the stars portrays her as larger than life and otherworldly. This shows how the narrator believes her mother is a divine being. She describes that her mother’s “shoulder blades [are] pinched back like wings before she [dives]” ( 33-34). This imagery paints the portrait of her mother as an angelic creature who is above the audience that is watching her. The narrator’s depiction of the tourists is opposite than that of her mother. She recounts the tourists “slapping at ubiquitous mosquitos” (26) and “unsticking their khaki shorts and their printed department store skirts from their sweating thighs” (27-28). She portrays them as mere flesh in the sense that they are grimy and adj. The fact that she describes all the audience members as being dressed in a stereotypical tourist outfit shows how she believes that they are all the same, and there is no variation or uniqueness to any of them. In terms of their actions, she relays that “they shushed and crushed against and cursed at one another.” (28). This masculine repetition and repeated use of conjunctions as a polysyndeton even further highlights the
Mansfield’s description throughout the narrative is intriguing and captivating, pulling the reader into the drill hall and making them sway to the “oft, melting, ravishing tune” as though they themselves could have been Leila. Moreover, her use of description allows her to create the character of the “fat man” and utilise him to portray the idea that “happiness [doesn’t] last for ever.” Because she describes him as the fat man, who is old and wearing a coat that “looked dusty with French chalk”, she creates an evident contrast between the beautiful characters she initially described. Through this imagery, Mansfield subtly portrays Leila’s fears of losing the beauty of this first ball and emphasises that in fact, beauty doesn’t last. However, Mansfield plunges the reader back in to the dance, such that the almost
Throughout history, illegal immigrants have experienced judgments and challenges in America. In “The Border on Our Backs,” by Roberto Rodriguez, and in “Se Habla Entitlement,” by Star Parker, the two authors both address immigration and hold angry attitudes towards aspects of how it is handled even though the reason for their anger is very different. Rodriguez, an immigrant, uses a personal approach taking it to a more personal level unlike Parker, born into a minority family, who uses actual facts from American history as well as providing several factors of the topic and numerical statistics. At first, her essay has more validity to the reader, than Rodriguez’ essay by its objectivity. Demonstrations by immigrants are not as apartheid as Rodriguez or Parker describes, and although Latinos are a separate culture, they need such demonstrations for acceptance and for a voice to be heard.
“Prize-giving” uses a shift in tone to illuminate its thematic concerns. This is symbolized by the professor succumbing to the seductive nature of the girl. Colour motif such as “red” symbolizes passion and desire. The responder becomes aware that the professor is trapped by his attraction. This is also reinforced through the description of their handshake, which had “voltage”- symbolic of his sexual attraction. Music is also a recurring theme in Harwood’s poetry and is seen here in references to “Mozart”. Through the use of common themes and ideas to communicate Gwen Harwood’s message, a plethora of techniques have been employed.
______. His red hunting hat is symbolic of many things. He wears it during important times such as writing the composition about Allie’s baseball glove, yet he seems to be embarrassed to wear it in public. “I took my old hunting hat out… and put it on. I knew I wouldn’t meet anybody that knew me” (122). Even though he lacks confidence to wear it frequently, it becomes a part of how he sees himself. He acknowledges that it’s “corny” but he personally likes how it looks; it is a symbol of his uniqueness and desire to be different. The red color of the hat is also noteworthy, the same as Allie and Phoebe’s hair. He may associate ‘red’ with purity and innocence those characters represent and wears it as a connection to them.
This use of artistic descriptive words creates an image of beauty and peace. Both of these feelings are shown to have been lost by the time he is a
Andy's, jacket and the words on the jacket, in the beginning of the story symbolizes violence. In the beginning of the story the narrator said, “He wore a bright purple silk jacket” (1). The only reason Andy got stabbed is because he was wearing the purple jacket. The purple jacket shows that Andy belongs to a gang. In the middle of the story, the boy, who finds Andy in the alley, sees the words on Andy's jacket, and ends up walking away from Andy not helping him. The boy saw THE ROYALS on the jacket then. He turned to the girl and said, “He's a Royal,” (5) he said. This shows that the boy was weary of what Andy's jacket said so he walked away from Andy and didn't help him. If the boy would've stayed then Andy might have lived. Towards the middle of the story, Andy realizes that life is worth living and it's not all like he thought.
The open window from which Louise gazes is symbolic for her freedom and the good fortune that she is now presented with. Her attention to the blue sky, fluffy clouds, tree tops and the delicious breath of rain denote her newly found inner well-being. The writer's use of language is well-chosen as it explicitly portrays Mrs. Mallard's true feelings. By capturing all the senses, the imagery created represents Louise's new life and establishes her as a round character. The open window provides a clear and bright view into the distance of Louise’s own bright future, which was obstructed by the demands of her husband.
"The budding rose above the rose full blown," writes William Henry Wordsworth, elevating the process of emerging, changing and evolving over those already developed, established and matured. While Wordsworth’s remark regards a rose, the statement also accurately describes Katherine Mansfield’s protagonist in The Garden Party. The narrative focuses on a wealthy family from New Zealand, jaded by elite lifestyle and prominent social standing. The youngest daughter, Laura, "the budding rose" of the story, seeks to break the constraints of upper class society, causing her to be both more mature and compassionate than other members of her well to do family.
