The Theme Of Nature InLight, By Eva Figess

To start off, she use the technique of imagery extremely well. Dillard was able to successfully convey her through this technique by being able to paint a clear picture of what is going on throughout the entire story. Dillard states, “He chased us silently over picket fences through thorny hedges, between houses around garbage cans, and around streets.” As seen in the story, the use of imagery showed the environment and struggles she went through. Dillard also states, “A perfect ice ball, from perfectly white snow, perfectly spherical, and squeezed perfectly translucent…” This imagery again describes exactly how everything looked and felt during that moment. The use of imagery is very critical in this story

In this passage, Prose gives the reader his feelings and attitude towards nature. Giving off the impression that she has respect and dedication for it. She releases a positive message towards the subject and believes that it is a necessity for life. Throughout this passage the author uses effective figurative language and imagery. Nature can only be seen and felt by certain people. And when they are able to see nature it is a blissful and tranquil image. The wilderness has much more to offer than is the streets.

The metaphor of ‘lamplit prescences’ compares her memories to light sources, where the connotation of growth and enlightenment is attached. The enjambment evident creates for a limitless path, almost welcoming the memories back as the persona confronts the reality of her existence.

Imagery is used consistently right through the poem to evoke sensory experiences and to endorse the theme. For instance: ‘A stark white ring-barked forest’-‘the sapphire misted mountains’-‘the hot gold lush of noon’ and many more. All of these appeal to the readers senses and places brilliant visual image(s) in our minds by illuminating the various features of the country, from the perspective of the poems persona. This is attained using; adjectives, ‘the sapphire-misted mountains¬¬¬’, which gives us a picture of mountains with a bluish haze embracing it, this image would thus give an impression of a composed environment and evoke a sense of tranquillity. Additionally by using ‘sapphire’ to illustrate the mist surrounding the mountains we get a sense of Australia’s uniqueness as sapphire is a rare gem. Imagery is also displayed through a metaphor used to appeal to the sense of hearing. For example: ‘the drumming of an army, the steady soaking rain’. Here Mackellar depicts the rain as an army and allows us not only to visualize but get a sense of the sound of the rain, which is presented through the adjective ‘drumming’. This line also presents to us the intensity of the rain again through the adjectives ‘drumming, steady and soaking’.

In a photographer’s booth, we see the symbol of light where parents are able to look on themselves from the side and they have a possibility to understand that they are intolerable to each other. “The place is shadowed in the mauve light which is apparently necessary”. Unfortunately, they know it from the beginning but they don not want to accept it because it will disturb already chosen path. “…and finally, shocked by their indifference”. The only son, who is going to start an adult life, able to summarize the parents mistakes and to build his future in the light of love, hope and faith. “…into the cold light, I woke up”. No matter what and when we are always know where is the light but sometimes it is easier to wander in a gloom then to find strength to look at the sun.

The author uses imagery in the poem to enable the reader to see what the speaker sees. For example, in lines 4-11 the speaker describes to us the

In the poem “To Paint a Water Lily” by Ted Hughes, the speaker conveys his attitude toward nature as perplexing, complex, and deceiving. He also expresses his opinion of the artist and the difficulties brought on by him trying to paint and recreate not only the picture of a water lily and its natural scene, but also capture the intense environment that is both peaceful and full of constant activity. The author achieves this through literary techniques such as: imagery and juxtaposition.

Though the viewers focus first on the centered figures, it is easier to first analyze the surrounding settings to understand them. The stone wall foreground and the open fields of the background each embodies one of the girl’s thoughts. The back landscape is filled with warm, airy colors of blue and orange, as if it were under a bright sun. On the other hand, the foreground’s stone walls and concrete floor has dark, cold, shadowy, earthy colors that seem to appear as if under a stormy cloud. The sunny land suggests free, pure, spacious land previous to the industrialization. Yet, the darkened foreground due to the overcasting shadows resemble the currently dirty,

Imagery was also used in the poem.  I found that the yellow in the first line represented that the future the writer was facing was bright and warm regardless of his choice.  The undergrowth was, as undergrowth in any forest, damp and dank smelling, but not necessarily unpleasant, just something that the writer would have to face.  The image of traveling through a forest also brings to mind thoughts of birds in flight, chirping and singing.  Squirrels dashing through trees, rustling leaves and dropping the occasional acorn or nut also create an image of sight and sound.  The sun reflecting through the trees, casting shadows and creating pockets of warm and cool air and the occasional breeze stirring through the trees are also brought to mind by this poem.  The end of the poem brings to me

The Theme of The Natural was to never give up and go for your dreams. They use baseball to help people see that your dreams are possible you just have to try. Field of Dreams’ theme was baseball brings us together. Baseball binded the Field of Dreams’ theme because without it Ray would have never found a way to talk to his father. In the Natural and Field of Dreams there are supernatural elements ,for example, the ghosts appearing at the field and the voices Ray hears in the Natural Roy survives a silver bullet and gets home-runs without needing to try. The Heros of the natural are Roy Hobbs and the coaching staff in the A League of Their Own the heros are Kit Keller, Dottie Hinson, and Jimmy Dugan. Roy was a good person he did not take bribes.

The pear tree, the ocean, the horizon, and the hurricane are all parts of nature that are used as both a plot device and a metaphor. When Janie was sixteen she would spend most of her time sitting under the pear tree. The harmony of nature is what Janie strived to find in love. This pushes the story forward by showing what Janie wants. It is also used as a metaphor when “the singing she heard that had nothing to do with her ears” (Hurston 10). This shows that she finds beauty in nature as lovely as a song. The ocean and the horizon represent the many experiences that Janie will soon encounter. It also represents the undiscovered places Janie has yet to go which pushes the story forward. Finally, the

It’s about recreating her experience with such precise detail that her essay has a booming impact on its reader. Her depiction of the setting and atmosphere allows the reader to relive the narrators experience as if beside her the entire time. Take for example the imagery in this statement “the bank, feet, even the invisible frogs”. She uses imagery to convey the same sensations she felt during her observations. We are also given images of frogs being “exactly half in and half out of the water.” Dillard presents the events to the audience in the same way she experienced them. We discover that the narrator “learned to recognize, slowing down, the difference in texture of the light reflected from mudbank, water, grass, or frog.” This allows the reader to better appreciate and relate to the writing by picturing the descriptions the writer intended. Dillard’s usage of metaphors and simile create an even more lasting image on the reader. His skull is “like a kicked tent”, “like a deflating football”, and finally his skin becomes “formless as a pricked balloon.” The references to the tent, football, and balloon are perfect examples since we can relate to them. In this chilling way the author taps into our emotions and allows us to sense the phenomena she is

The theme of chapter 6 is to never underestimate nature. One reason why, as said in chapter 6, on page 94 , is because it says, “Never underestimate its power…” This quote proves that nature can be very powerful. Another reason why is because chapter 6, page 102, says, “The fish market was gone! Waiakea town was gone! Not damaged, gone - a whole town, flattened and pushed up into the heel of the river, splintered and shoved inland in pieces.” The quote, from chapter 6, proves that nature can cause disastrous things and can occur when it is not expected. Also, it proves that nature can cause bad things that can kill or harm people. Lastly, a quote from chapter 6, on page 102, states, “Nails juttered from splintered boards. Chunks of broken glass

The first landscape feature that is described are, “the tops of trees” (Chopin 203). Trees are commonly attributed to nature and the symbol of life. Although the author has attributed the trees in this story with the literary term personification, as the trees, “were all aquiver with the new spring life” (Chopin 203). The author has attributed the trees to movement as the protagonist begins to desire to be in the cycle of nature. The protagonist relates to the trees because the trees are no longer weighed down by the heavy snow, thus allowing the trees to grow again, which is similar to the protagonist, as she is no longer confined by her husband, but she desires to be rebirthed (Lucas). Consequently, the protagonist was learning her desires to participate in life as an independent individual and to have restrictions a memory in the past. Therefore, the protagonist is beginning to participate down the path of becoming

When the Visions of Nature project was first explained in the beginning of the course I was immediately worried about how I would be able to create something that represented the natural world in an artistic way. Personally, I am not the most skilled in the world of art through visual and esthetically pleasing mediums. My artistic peak was reached in kindergarten when I made an impressive elephant with finger paint before the school’s annual trip to the National Zoo. At first I struggled with deciding what type of project to pursue. I wanted to do something meaningful and original, but the best I could think of was either to make a video or maybe a collage. It wasn’t until I was walking back to my dorm room late one night when it presented itself, literally. It was a pretty peaceful evening when I was passing the Dominion residence building. I did not see or hear anyone or anything around me. It was completely silent when out of nowhere a shopping cart came rolling off the top set of stairs and crashed onto the grass in front of me. After the cart had ceased to move it was completely silent again. That is when I decided that I would make a shopping cart garden. It would be an interesting piece that would capture people’s attention and would not require me to torture my fellow classmates with my sub-par finger-painting. The garden would give a tangible source for observers that would create a larger impact than
