Tone Of Victor Hugo's Cat Diction

Hawthorne describes a cold and gray day.  This description gives the reader a sense of isolation as well as slight depression.  However, the mention of a slight breeze that ruffles the canopy of the forest just enough to let in little flickers of sunshine conveys a fleeting ray of hope that seems to coexist with the gloominess in the scene.  In many scenes during the book, moods or prevailing feelings are established through descriptions of the natural surroundings of the characters.  This aspect of Hawthorne's writing makes the book deeper and more emotional.

Part Four: What does this quotation mean? Why is it significant? How does it connect to an emerging theme of the novel? What is the impact of this passage on the reader?

Frozen, dark, and grave are intimate words that reflect the malicious tyranny of a depleted south. Thorns and trials are the mental and physical issues that were so common for the protagonist. The entire scene with the armed man shows the blatant confrontation of white versus black. His character is tainted with unjustifiable actions, which scar him forever in ink and more than likely shadow the decision of the reader.

Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut was written during the twentieth century, which was the height of industrialization and technological advancements. The common hope during this time was that science could transform the world. This novel illuminates the flaws in this kind of thinking, and by doing so, points out how our negligent use of nature's laws has created some of the greatest tragedies know to humankind.

I selected this passage because when I read it, it seemed to make the story stop for a second and helped emotionally paint a picture of what louis was feeling based on the word choice used. This particulate passage let me recognize Louie thoughts and feelings about the situation Louis was in. I would characterize the words in this passage to thoroughly create a sudden desolate and gloomy mood for example when the author used words like ensnared, writhing, uselessly, and hopeless I instantly thought of Louie being alone and with nothing left to do but give up and let death come upon him. The author effects the reader by trying to help set the tone and mood of the story to better understand what’s going on.

The use of diction, “Villains” specifically refers to the policemen in the persona’s company, although the persona is the murderer who clearly has portrayed villainous qualities. This ironic accusation is the result of the narrator projecting his lingering guilt onto others, as a method of coping with his emotional trauma. The confusion and inability to distinguish between the policemen and the composer’s villainous actions ultimately concludes the short story by consolidating the persona’s insanity, setting the audience’s mind to rest with the resolution. Through Poe’s storytelling, the audience experiences a dubious journey, which mirrors the nature of insanity.

Vonnegut uses the phrase to impart a cyclical quality on the novel. We see it repeating consistently in the novel, bringing us back to a theme of renewal. As a person dies, we are given an insight into the human idea that life must go on. The phrase is paradoxical to the emotions and reactions usually associated with death, but Vonnegut is never one to be predictable. As one person dies, life moves on, people keep living, and then the process repeats itself ( McGinnis, Web,1975).

How does the passage fit into the work from which it is taken - where does it occur, how does it advance the plot, who is speaking, to whom is it addressed?

The passage displays a great use of adjectives. Reading the verse to Millie's friends, the composer describes his talking. “Then he began to read in a low, stumbling voice that grew firmer as he progressed from line to line, and his voice went out across the desert, into the whiteness, and around the three sitting women there in the great hot emptiness (Bradbury 99).” This allows a very crystal feeling of the exact environment in the area through his reading. Bradbury is popular for his amazingly descriptive style.

Throughout the passage, Melville uses many adverbs and adjectives to make the dark and heavy mood. That’s what makes the whole story mysterious.

Edgar Allen Poe was one of the most influential and important writers of the nineteenth century. He was the first writer to try to make a living only writing. One of Poe’s most popular short stories, “The Black Cat”, is considered horror fiction or gothic fiction which Poe is known for in his books and short stories because it was a popular genre during his days. In Poe’s short story, “The Black Cat”, Poe uses a horror fiction genre, a mentally deranged and evil narrator/character, and symbolism of death to make a thrilling story with tons of suspense, drama, and gruesome detail.

The Cat In The Hat by Dr. Seuss, pseudonym of Theodor Seuss Geisel, tells a story of two children at home on a rainy day alone, being visited by the Cat in the Hat and the turmoil that he causes. The Cat In The Hat is clearly Geisel’s most famous book, written in 1956 and published in 1957, considered a children’s classic today. It was The Cat In The Hat “where Dr. Seuss jubilantly breaks the barriers of the basal reader’s simplistic language and pedestrian artwork” (MacDonald 10). In The Cat In The Hat, Geisel uses this childish language and comical pictures as well as an interesting story and fun characters to not only create a successful children’s book but to deliver a subtle political message of rebellion against authority.

The bonds between men and women varied across the world in the 1920’s, with certain countries embracing women within society, yet other countries saw women as nothing more than homemakers. In his time in Europe, Ernest Hemingway witnessed the utmost respect men had towards women. Yet when Hemingway arrived back in America he saw the misogynistic attitudes towards women and their movement for suffrage. Ernest Hemingway’s “Cat in the rain” is the adventure of American women seeking suffrage in the 1920’s, alongside portraying the juxtaposition of treatment of American women to European women.
