... Housman the discovery of self was so disturbing and disconcerting that poetry came as a way of disclosing it” (Bayley 44). The county of is central to much of his poetry, but it is employed merely as “a personification of the writer’s memories, dreams and affections;” meanwhile, Housman’s central character is one “who could at once be himself and not himself” (Scott-Kilvert 26). In what Housman himself regarded to be one of his best poems, “XXVII: Is my team ploughing,” the focus is placed upon a conversation between a dead man and one of his friends from ...

... does not know the outcome until nearly the end of the story. His writing paints a very vivid picture for the reader. He organized the story so that we know right in the beginning what the story will be about, and what the reader is in for. In this case, Poe lets the reader know right away and throughout the story, that the probable outcome, will be Montresor getting revenge on Fortunato. 2)How readable and interesting is the style? Poe's style is interesting, but somewhat difficult to read in the beginning. At the start of the story, Poe develops the plot of the story in a difficult manner. For exampl ...

... that make the events which occur suddenly and with increasing speed, so shocking and destructive, particularly for David. David’s view of life dramatically starts to change through the eavesdropping of his mother and father’s conversation regarding Frank’s behaviour towards the woman on the Indian reservation. While David must pretend, not just for the remainder of the novel, but for the next forty years, to be ignorant of Frank’s crimes, and therefore of much of what is happening although his parents do not realise that he has overheard their discussions. David’s previous image of Frank along with ha ...

... served, the worst of Hester’s punishment had only begun. She had confessed and had no guilt to live with, but society had completely shut her out.

It is noticed that the tougher she got inside, the tougher her appearance becomes and the more plain she dressed. Once she meet with Dimmesdale in the forest, she told him of Chillingworth, which shows she had grown strong enough to ...

... essential characters in the play. The magnificent similarity of different plots and characters can illustrate Shakespeare's perfect use of parallelism in King Lear. Parallelism is greatly enhanced by the use of subplots, for it creates emphasis and suspense. The parallel between Lear and Gloucester displayed in the play cannot possibly be accidental. The subplot of Gloucester corresponds the major plot of Lear. The two fathers have their own loyal legitimate child, and their own evil and disloyal kin. Gloucester and Lear are both honorable men, who have children that return to them in their time of need, and are si ...

... to use them. By refusing to take the drugs it shows self-confidence and strong character. A simple decision can be thinking of what to have for lunch. Complex or simple, regret accompanies the wrong choice. One fine example from the novel A Separate Peace comes when Gene made the decision to jounce the limb and make Finny fall from the tree. This, in the end, caused much of Gene’s regret and ignorance because it finished Finny’s athletic career and later causes Finny to die. Another decision in the novel came when Finny forgave Gene. Even though Gene ruined Finny’s life, Finny made the hard c ...

The action of killing occurred while she was trying to kill all her, children and it is the reason that two of her children run from her because they fear for their lives. wishes to consume Sethe, she wants to own Sethe, a relation not unlike that of a master and slave.

... it is one of the few books supporting the Indian cause. This is done through the use of council records, autobiographies, and first-hand accounts. Each of the book's nineteen chapters deals with a certain tribe, battle, or historical event. Brown goes into deep and explicit detail throughout, as evidenced by the book's nearly 500 pages. However, while some may complain is boring or text-book-like, I believe the opposite is actually true.
