Theme From A Summer Place Analysis

The story of Summer, by David Updike, is set during that idyllic time in life when responsibility is the last word on anyone's mind. And yet, as with all human affairs, responsibility is an ever-present and ever-necessary aspect to life. What happens when the protagonist, Homer, loses his awareness of a certain personal responsibility to maintain self-control? Homer's actions increasingly make him act foolishly, internally and externally. Also, how does Homer return to a sense of sanity and responsibility? To a degree, I would say that he does.

There are many things we can identify in our favorite novels. In my book The Hidden Summer, there are themes, the author's purpose, and conflict. The protagonist in this novel is Nell. The setting takes place in an abandoned mini golf course. The story begins with a conflict, which is, Nell and her best friend Lydia are not allowed to see each other because their moms told them that they are forbidden to do so. They aren't too happy about this news but as best friends, they'll find a way to meet each other no matter the obstacles.

Good authors can create wonderful stories, but it all starts with the setting. Without the setting, the story will have no plot and the characters will have no reason to be there because the setting is a crucial element. Barry Callaghan, the author of “Our Thirteenth Summer” can effectively use setting as an important part of a story. The setting of “Our Thirteenth Summer” is in Toronto’s Annex District during the 1840’s, when the Holocaust was occurring. The setting influences the behaviour of the characters and reflects the society in which the characters live.

Some things have come and gone, but when someone’s feeling sad or happy, music is always there to inspire them and make them feel better. The difference is that through the decades, happy and sad music have had opposite rythyms and beats. The music that we listen to today is a wide variety. Our parent’s generations mostly had music from the 70s, 80s, or 90s. The comparisons between them are all different. The most favored modern music pertains to rap, hip-hop, and pop. Knowing that information will help to understand the comparisons between the decades.

The short sci-fi story All Summer in A Day by Ray Bradbury is about being treated as an outcast and reveals the alienating effects that it may have. Sometimes this treatment is brought on by others. In this case, Margot is treated in this harsh manner because she isn’t the same as her classmates and they desire to have the life experiences that she has. Being outcast may not be the only main theme for this story in each reader’s mind. All Summer in A Day provides a multitude of possible themes. This may be the case, however, the children’s physical and emotional abuse of Margot is extreme and justifies this theme. As the time draws nearer for the sun to rise, Margot’s classmates become more brash and crue and at that moment, Margot is exponentially different from the other children in hr class. This concept of being outcast and

In “A Summer Life” Soto is the name of a six-year-old boy who faces a decision between sinning and not fulfilling his sweet tooth desires. This all started when Soto became bored and thought the only way to cure his boredom was through sin. Though Soto knows that sinning is iniquitous he ends up going against all of his religious beliefs and greedily taking the pie for his own longing to eat something sweet. Shortly after, Soto knows stealing the pie was wrong and regrets his decision. In “A Summer Life” Soto shifts from greedy to guilty by using striking imagery, potent ethos, and biblical illusions to recreate his story.

Great music can sometimes can turn just an ordinary day into something magical, spiritual even. The effects music has on the human mind, can spread further; right through our genetic code and throughout our bodies. With all the good that can come with music, negative effects are not too far behind. Music has been the center focal point for parents and politicians alike to use it as a scapegoat to help push their political and parent agenda. To help mold children and adolescents into something they were never meant to be.

“Rydie, turn them rowdy mp3 speakers off and make your way into the kitchen!”, shouted her mother from below. Annoyed, she finally turned her speakers off and with a great sigh, she headed down the stairs and into the kitchen. “Coming”, she replied.

The chilled breath of Mid-October wind washed through the house. Continuous bursts of children's' laughter filled the living room while a record player serenely spun classical music. It was the definition of a perfect day, one on which kids should be jumping in leaf piles and couples should be wandering through parks with picnic baskets in hand. In the Howell residence, today was the perfect day for taking a load off and enjoying a game or two.

As time moved forward from the antebellum spirituals, more less hopeful songs surfaced. The tiredness of years and years of injustice set in on many, and inspired them to write songs that express that feeling. Many of these songs serve a purpose for protest too though, through pathos. Bringing up past instances of hatred and racism, and the tiredness of it now, will pull heartstrings and possible cause someone to act and fight for freedom and equality. From a place lacking hope and love, a powerful song is able to bring forth positive action. Because of this, older songs are powerful. They hold a memory of the past, and how much has change, and how much has got to change.

I was roused by the sound of contralto song. I rolled over and saw Winston, who was still asleep next to me. His mousey brown hair was unkempt and his face screwed up like an old swine. We were in Mr Charrington’s apartment above his antique junk shop, where we spent most of our time together. I crept over to the window to investigate the song and saw an old prole woman, singing to herself as she completed her daily household drudge.

For a person to go a day without hearing music is a rare occurrence. Music is found on the radio, in videos, and in advertisements. Music, being found in every person’s life every single day, it is continually changing-- to some for the better, while to others’ opinions, the worse. Music lacking originality will not stand the test of time.

The creation of musical works has always been culminated by several different processes and usually involves many people. The process takes a lot of time delaying the release of music. Advancement in technology has played a significant role in the music production by lowering the length of time it takes to produce recorded material. Artists usually sign a contract with a recording company that markets their music products. The internet and low-cost recording technologies have created a “do-it-yourself” music movement. New artists have gained worldwide recognition without landing a recording contract with a major record label.
