The Telegraph In Americ 1832-1920 Analysis

The point that Getty makes by stating this quote in his article is that the rose’s true meaning will only be known by the author therefore making it a form of sub rosa; that the only person who knows of Emily’s actions up and till her death, is only the author. “The ‘Rose’ of the title extends far beyond any one flower or literary allusion in its implications for the story’s structure. The ‘Rose’ represents secrecy: the confidential relationship between the author and his character, with all of the privileged information withheld.” (232) I agree with Getty’s argument in that the real meaning of the rose will only be known to the author.

In addition, both women in this time setting were also expected to be wed by their middle ages. In a Rose for Emily, the main character never married. The reader gains the impression that she did, in fact, want to be married and accepted. Emily longed so much to be happy with a man that she seemed to take it to the extreme. Louise made it overwhelming clear in The Story of an Hour, just how extremely happy she was to be set free from her marriage. The reader has the sense that there were other events and or actions that took place within the marriage that caused Louise to become so extremely excited to just imagine life being single. Louise was in fact, bonded by marriage, while Emily was sadly bonded in solitude.

“ She thinks of her mother, who is dead. Dead, but still her mother. Joined. This is confusing. Of her father a gray old man who sold wild mink, rabbit, fox skins to Sears, Roebuck (Walker pg.2). Roselily once again starts to think back to the days when she was a child, to the days when she had no worries. She feels her mother who is dead still stands beside her in spirt to guide her on this unknown journey she is about to embark on, and for a moment it gives her comfort. “Or forever hold,” the Preachers’ words ring in Roselily’s ear. “ She does not even know if she loves him. She loves his sobriety. His refusal to sing just because he know the tune. She loves his pride. His blackness and his gray car. She loves his understanding go her condition. She thinks she loves the effort he will make to redo her into what he truly wants (Walker pg.3). Here the author really dives in to what Roselily thinks of her new husband. She knows she doesn't love him and probably never will. However, there are aspects about him which she thinks she can love and she realizes that will have to do

Rose is unable to fully accept herself or the statements made by her mother throughout the chapter, until she reflects back on her relationship and realizes how her mother predicted this by the condition of the garden taken care of by her husband. She understands her mother finally and stands up to Ted, explaining to him how she was going to fight for everything in the divorce.

On January 9th, 1917 a message was sent from Germany to the German minister in Mexico. This message, later to be known as the Zimmermann Telegram was the final piece to a German plot to embroil the United States into a war with Mexico, Japan or both in order to cripple Allied supply lines fueling Allied operations in Europe.

Transportation in the United States has changed dramatically in the past few hundred years, from dirt roads, to canals, to railroads, and back to roads to again. Improvements in transportation between the years 1820 and 1860 allowed for almost all of America to be accessible which caused the US economy to explode. Transportation turned the U.S. into a flourishing economy and caused a large increase in sectionalism, industrialization, and expansion.

The following presentation encompases two major historical milestones in the development of american engineering and ingenuity. The first being the development of the steam engine and the second the invention of the telegraph.

Here, as well, the Confederate army was at a disadvantage: They lacked the technological and industrial ability to conduct such a large-scale communication campaign” (Civil War Technology 2). Though these types of innovations changed the way wars are fought they also changed daily life. “Even more important were the technologies that did not specifically have to do with the war, like the railroad and the telegraph. Innovations like these did not just change the way people fought wars–they also changed the way people lived” (1). One other thing, the Union Army had established an entire government office dealing with the telegraph system and had trained many operators. “In 1861, the Union Army established the U.S. Military Telegraph Corps, led by a young railroad man named Andrew Carnegie. The next year alone, the U.S.M.T.C. trained 1,200 operators, strung 4,000 miles of telegraph wire and sent more than a million messages to and from the battlefield” (3). The telegraph was “the way” to communicate before the later invention of the telephone. “Also, there was a telegraph service for people to communicate before the invention of the telephone around 1900” (Dorr 2). It is clear that, the telegraph really helped the North get an edge on the South.

Rose O’Neil Greenhow was a renowned Confederate spy during the American Civil War. A socialite in Washington D.C. during the period before the war, she moved in important political circles and cultivated friendships with presidents, generals, senators, and high-ranking military officers. Historian Amy Taylor states,“Greenhow's access to leaders and the protective cover of her gender, made her an ideal spy in the minds of the Confederates who recruited her in 1861.”6 She used her connections to pass along key military information to the Confederacy at the start of the war. In early 1861, she was given control of a pro-Southern spy network in Washington, D.C. by Thomas Jordan, then a captain in the Confederate Army. 7 She was credited by Jefferson Davis, the Confederate president, with ensuring the South's victory at the First Battle of the Bull Run in late July 1861.

In addition to mourning the death of the King, she laments the fall of the House of Lancaster. The dispute between the house of York and the house of Lancaster is the crucial background of the tragedy. She asserts the right of the Lancaster dynasty rule in her statement: "Th'untimely fall of virtuous Lancaster, / Thou bloodless remnant of that royal blood" (1:2:6-7). Taken literally, the "ashes," and the "bloodless" King relate to a funeral pyre and the white skin tone of death. However the "pale ashes," can also be interpreted as the white rose which represents the King. A "bloodless" rose is also the white rose of the King's shield. This division and conflict between the white rose and the red rose are outside the sphere of Lady Anne's control. The War of the Roses is a war in the sense that it is within the male sphere and she is unable to change the unhappy result of the dispute which results in the death of her husband and father-in-law.

Even though the rose is distinctly only in the title, it emerges as allegorical and symbolic throughout the story. Getty states, “The "Rose" of the title extends far beyond any one flower or literary allusion in its implications for the story's structure. The "Rose" represents secrecy: the confidential relationship between the author and his character, with all of the privileged information withheld” (Getty 230). The view of the warmth of love and fondness is to be thought when

In “‘A Rose for Emily’: Against Interpretation” John L. Skinner takes into consideration the analysis of literary critic William Going, who suggests that Emily herself represents the rose as the “treasured memory of the old Confederate veterans” (Skinner, p. 42). While interpretations may vary, what is clear is the symbolic blossom continues to puzzle many analytical minds.

The telegraph was the first major advancement in communication technology. In 1838, Samuel Morse perfected and demonstrated the first telegraph machine. His machine used Morse code to send electronic currents along a wire, allowing the first high speed long distance communications. By the 1850s, the telegraph was widespread. In 1861, Western Union installed the first trans-continental line and by 1866, the first trans-Atlantic line was completed. At this time, telegraphs were all keyed by hand and transcribed from Morse code to English by ear. Fredrick Creed invented a way to convert Morse code into text in what became known as the Creed Telegraph System. That was in 1900, and by 1914, these automatic transmissions handled twice what a
