The second of the moon detached itself automatically in two halves: “The Gup area had sunshine throughout, while the Chup region was always dark with no glimpse of sunshine”(Sen, 1995:80). The Guppies have resolved without the assent of the Chupwalas that they automatically have charge of the moon and expose these Chupwalas to long-lasting darkness. Therefore, Rushdie implies to declare that any degree of censorship lies among everyone. Similarly, the Chupwalas battle amidst themselves in the course of the final fight and “large numbers of Chupwalas heaved in their share alongside the Guppies (Mukherjee, 1998:185).
Chupwalas wish to detach themselves from the plans of Khatam-Shud’s . however, they choose to stay with him because they fear him greatly. Furthermore, when Haroun, Rashid, and the Guppies first confront Mudra, who is the Shadow Warrior tries to speak. Mudra uses signs to speak, while Haroun, lookout for him, “The Shadow Soldiers’ dance discloses to him that immobility had its unique beauty as well as grace” (Sen, 1995:125).

There are walls that block people from seeing what’s on the other side, but they need soar over the wall and break through if they want to see what’s on the other side. Writers uses realism and figurative language to express life’s obstacles and extremities. London uses an emotionless tone through the lens of naturalism to convey that nature does not care, already mapped out the man’s fate and that man does not have free will going against nature. Bishop utilizes symbolism to express vivid imagery to emphasize the idea of discovering truth or reality of anything. Wharton manipulates metaphors and similes to clearly express the ironies in the story of how humans can resort to rash extremities to conceal the truth, while finding a way to “freedom”.
The unwanting desire to face reality and confront the isolation in which one is living is a struggle that both Gabriel and a little boy encounter. Jame Joyce’s works portray his characters to display both inner struggles and difficulty being socially accepted. During the party, Gabriel is anxious and nervous because he wants to uphold this reputation of a confident man. Therefore, he creates a script allowing him to have a sense control and comfort which he lacks. In Contrast, the little boy perceives himself to be self-assured and sociable when in reality these ideas are inflicted by his imagination. James Joyce’s “The Dead” and “Araby” features characters who struggle with internal emotions, revealing their alienation, separation with
The author’s narrative, ripe with horrifying descriptions, is nonetheless told with compassion appealing to the emotions of the audience
The stories of James Joyce’s “Araby” and John Updike’s “A&P” share identical literary traits from each character which are the protagonist. The main point of the two is that they revolve around a young male who is pressured by his conscience to untangle the difference between the harsh reality and the fantasies of romance that play in his head. The young man does indeed recognize the difference is what turns him in the direction of an emotional catastrophe.
Byerman argues that underlying aesthetic is the misreading’s of art and language without sufficient evidence. The evidence that Byerman gives, involves more emotion and the thoughts of a young man growing into an adult in the streets of Harlem. Byerman takes a look at the short Story without the thought of
The concept of innocence is sometimes looked upon as weakness. This does not always stand true. Innocence can be a very beautiful thing that is much more than that. This leads up to a theme of both novels which is, innocence is fragile yet powerful in evil situations. This is illustrated by author Khaled Hosseini as well as William Golding. Both themes are expressed through, characterization, conflict and setting.

Her past unfolds in chapter three—another piece of the puzzle—with subsections guiding the readers. Both her children and her stories are heavily influenced by the genre of romance, as they all suffered from love in one way or another. From Jack Pujol to the Gangster, Beli was always referred to the third-person, hardly gets a chance to present her own voice. Yunior brings awareness to the reader about how his narration controls and subsumes different characters’ authentic voice by asking, “What is it with Dictators and Writers, anyway?...Rushdie claims that tyrants and scribblers are natural antagonists, but I think that’s too simple; it lets writers off pretty easy. Dictators, in my opinion, just know competition when they see it. Same with writers. Like, after all, recognizes like” (Diaz 97). The passage is in one of the novel’s longest footnotes, which makes it easy to overlook. At this point of the book, Yunior remains a mystery, while he places a connection between a writer and dictator, capitalizing the first letter of both words in the first sentence that changes the nouns to proper nouns as if they are labels. According to his revision of the Rushdie’s analysis, writers appear to indict the same crime as the dictators or even more guilty. Writers use the force of language to dictate over this fictional world and push it into
When faced with the decision of accepting or rejecting this pernicious philosophy, one is shocked to find oneself in the role of Vonnegut’s protagonist Billy. Stumbling along a life in which he takes no active part, Billy conceives what he believes to be the truth of war, and life in general: “Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt”(Vonnegut 156). Of course, this kernel of wisdom is shared not in words, but in a child’s drawing, furthermore drawing attention to the willfully childish ignorance that Billy and Vonnegut have chosen for the world. By superimposing the image of an ideal of harmful naivete on his readers, Vonnegut tactfully stirs the morals of his readers in a way that no coolly composed and calculating rhetoric could ever aspire to.
Rushkoff introduces a chilling thought - that our current response to the collapse of narrative erases the very meaning of everything. The concept alarms audiences, Rushkoff uses this rhetorical strategy of fear to captivate their attention in order to persuade them of the importance of narrative. Rushkoff succeeds in explaining the importance of narrative collapse through the comparison to forced connections. Apocalyptic dangers surely lie ahead as society desperately tries to control the chaotic collapse of narrative by forcing connections.

In "Haroun and the Sea of Stories", Khattam-shud is a metaphor for Ayatollah Khomeini and Rashid is a metaphor for Rushdie. Khomeini stifled Rushdie’s freedom of speech which caused him to develop writer’s block. He was forced to leave his family to go into hiding, which was the catalyst for his divorce. In the novel, Rashid experiences the same plights. He looses the Gift of Gab and his wife because of Mr. Sengupta, who is Khattam-Shud’s real-world counterpart (155). Khattam-Shud has a cult following called the Zipped Lips, who sew their lips shut as a visual opposition to speech (148). These are extremists, like the Muslim fundamentalists willing to carry out Khomeini’s fatwa. The majority of the Chupwalas do not believe in Khattam-Shud and are only afraid of him (132). Rushdie believes that most Muslims were only afraid of Khomeini, and there was only a small group of zealous extremists that endangered his life.
In the book Haroun and the Sea of Stories, Rushdie uses metaphor and imagery to build a theme that shows the balance between silence and speech, and the beauty of darkness and light. One example of the balance between silence and speech, and censorship, are that both Gup and Chup are two sides of a whole. Which means that each must exist in balance with the other to center their existence. Even though they both favor entire freedom, their personal Eggheads at the P2C2E House created a variation in light. This left the Chupwalas in never-ending darkness against their will.
“Araby,” is a story of emotional passion carefully articulated by the author, James Joyce, to mark the end of childhood and the start of adolescence. It is told from the perspective of a young boy who is filled with lust for his friend, Mangan’s, sister. He lives in a cheerless town on a street hosting simply complacent families who own brown faced houses that stare vacantly into one another. The boy temporarily detaches himself from this gloomy atmosphere and dwells on the keeper of his affection. Only when he journeys to a festival titled Araby, does he realize that his attempt at winning the heart of Mangan’s sister has been done in an act of vanity. Joyce takes advantage of literary elements such as diction and imagery to convey an at times dreary and foolishly optimistic tone.
In contrast, “The House of Asterion” shows a character, while in no way in perfect upstanding personality, with a little bit of humanity. Disproving the notion of a mindless
