CHAPTER-3: KIM AS A PRESENTATION OF THE ISSUE Kim is as unique in Kipling’s life and career as it is in English literature. It was first serialised in America, in McClure’s Magazine, December, 1900 to October 1901; in England, in Cassell’s Magazine, January to November 1901. Kipling’s works aimed at a broad base for an audience, both McClure’s and Cassell’s were known as late-century publications which incorporated techniques of the “new journalism” like muckraking, as well as sensationalism and

“ Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid and “If” by Rudyard Kipling are 2 poems that have a parent writing to their kid trying to teach them in a different way. In “Girl”, there is a mother writing to her daughter to tell her directions to become the perfect girl. In “If”, the father writes to his son to teach very important life lessons. These two poems have a similar topic but a different setting and theme. There is going to be some evidence and reasoning to back up the similarity and differences. A similarity

"If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster [a]nd treat those two imposters just the same," says Rudyard Kipling, "[. . .] [y]ours is the Earth and everything that's in it." The world seems topsy-turvy, the lines between victory and defeat, happiness and horror, can be blurred. In Rudyard Kipling's short stories "His Majesty the King" and "The Gate of the Hundred Sorrows," he broaches disheartening topics such as opium addictions and dysfunctional families to exhibit real life problems in society

Comparing and Contrasting “If and Girl” Introduction: In “Girl by Jamaica Kincaid” and “If by Rudyard Kipling” are two poems that a girl and boy that have a odd lifestyle. “Girl” is about a girl who has a mother that wants her to do anything that her daughter doesn’t want to do and in “If” there is a boy that has a father that is encouraging and he is being told stuff by his dad. They both have a similar thing, they are both poems and their endings aren’t the same, different. Similarity of Difference

"The White Man’s Burden", is one of Kipling’s most disreputable poems. The poem contains seven stanzas with rhyme scheme. The poet talks about the imperialism which is widely occurred all through history as the conquest of weaker cultures by cultures that were more advanced or had more power. Actually he writes this poem to encourage imperialists to conquer colonies which is Philippines. The author claims that it is the duty or burden of the white men to civilize the non-whites and educate them

The Poem “If” is a poem written by a father to his son to guide him and give him knowledge and wisdom of how to be an upstanding and productive man (Humanities 360, 2008). Self-confidence, patience, integrity, working hard and never giving up is the message Kipling is trying to send to his son (Humanities 360, 2008). According to Humanities 360, “Overall in the poem there is much truth and wisdom within these motivational words that seems to tap into a core within the reader, expanding virtue and

Kipling in his writing shows several hints about how he feels about the government; the first obvious notice is this, "The politics of Loaferdom that sees things from the underside where the lath and plaster is not smoothed off." He's hinting at the connotation that there are imperfections within the system that some can see. Kiplings narrative not only shows a personal opinion, but also what some people would contradict him with. Take Peachey and Dravot for instance, who one not only said in a

The Oxford Dictionary describes Self Fulfillment as: “The fulfilment of one's hopes and ambitions”. Kipling and The Traveling Wilburys both share their wisdom on personal fulfillment in the inquiring “If” and the approachable “End of the Line”. While the poems are similar in their purpose and occasion, they differ in their tone and attitude. The Occasion and purpose of the two works is very similar. In his poem to his son Kipling talks about what it takes to be a Man, this is years of wisdom and

Compare and Contrast If by Rudyard Kipling and Girl by Jamaica Kincaid are two poems about parents talking to their children. In If a father is talking to his son. He is telling his son how to succeed in life. In Girl a mother is telling her daughter how to live on her own. The stories are similar because they are giving advice, but they are two different stories going in two different directions. Both poems have a similar theme of how to succeed. In Girl the mother says this is how to……

According to an anonymous source, one should, “look for something positive in each day, even if some days you have to look a little harder. Let the challenges make you strong.” This idea is clearly reflected in Uglies, “The Third and Final Continent,” and “If.” Evidently, the authors utilized similar and contrasting literary devices to develop this theme in each unique selection. Characterization, or the writer’s development of a character, is manipulated in Uglies and “The Third and Final Continent”
