The Romantically Impaired Pruf
Number of Words: 807 / Number of Pages: 3
... indeed there will be time." Prufrock uses time as an excuse to remain comfortable in his undisturbed universe. By opening the fourth stanza with: "And indeed there will be time," Eliot echoes the memorable line: "Had we but world enough and time' from Andrew Marvell's seductive poem, "To His Coy Mistress." Ironically, Prufrock does not feel compelled to seize the day(Pagnattaro 108). Prufrock repeats his
conviction that "indeed there will be time" to wonder "‘Do I dare?' and ‘Do I dare?'"-that is, first, does he dare express his true feelings to the woman he adores, and if not, does ...

As I Lay Dying: Styles Used By William Faulkner
Number of Words: 734 / Number of Pages: 3
... says "He's just lazy, trying me" (p. 129) Since Jewel has been working
really hard, and it is Anse who is lazy. Furthering on Jewel and Anse's
relationship, I feel that it is fairly evident that Jewel knows that Anse
is not his father. This is illustrated in the following section on page
136: "Jewel looked at Pa, his eyes paler than ever. 'He won't never eat a
mouthful of yours' he said. 'Not a mouthful. I'll kill him first. Don't you
never think it. Don't you never.' "The antagonism Jewel holds toward Anse
is enormous, and this scene intensifies it showing that Jewel knows the
truth or at least has a ...

... vegetation, their meeting-line at the horizon was clearly marked". This is highlighting the vivid contrast between the ground and the sky, leaving the reader with an image of the wild expanse of vegetation. Hardy describes the nature of the heath with the words "It was at present a place perfectly accordant with man's nature - neither ghastly, hateful, nor ugly: neither... unmeaning, nor tame; but like man slighted and enduring...". This is a description of the heath, which leaves the reader with a stronger sense of place, having now learned to come to grips with the ambiguity of the image. ...

Just Whom Is Edmund Gosse’s Father And Son Written For?
Number of Words: 794 / Number of Pages: 3
... quietly, he does not shout his shame, he merely reiterates it as a anecdote of a story “...his very absence of imagination aided him in his work. (113)” .
Finally, Edmund, being able to portray this book as a portrait of someone other than himself, is a chance to humble himself, no matter what he says about the father, to the reader. All of these methods that Edmund uses to sway our thinking actually serve only to benefit Edmund Gosse himself. This actually makes it more of an autobiographical account than not.
If you count the number of “I’s” in this book, you will find yourself into triple ...

Battle Royal

... one would find that the summation of all the symbolism is equal to
not only the struggle of this one black boy, but the struggle of all blacks at
the time in which this story takes place.
I think that if one were to analyze the grandfathers dieing words, one
would find the view of most conformist black Americans. The only way for a black
person to excel at that time was to conform to the white society. Any rebels
that tried to stand up for their rights were mostly killed by anti-black groups
such as the KKK.
There was one symbol in the story that stood out especially in my mind
and that was the st ...

... and who is good at making clothes, a typical female ability. The general prologue does not show the strong willed, intelligent, independent woman that the Wife of Bath is. The Wife of Bath only reveals this in her own prologue. Chaucer does not go into much detail about the Wife of Bath because he only reveals what he sees. The Wife of Bath
Contrary to this, Chaucer brings to life the Squire by his description of the Squires physical appearance and details about the Squires lifestyle and habits. Physical appearance is one of the major tools of the Squire's construction. "With locks as curly as i ...

bring. "And what was that Joe and the rest of them were doing. Laughing at
me. And the kids playing hide-and-go-seek were playing tricks on me and

Speech also renders some importance in this novel. A few examples of abbreviated words are: "Wurst kind", and "More'n enough", and lastly "Oh, I ain't afr'd". All of these slang words and also many more were used throughout the novel. This misuse of words shows that Frome and the other characters were not well educated. The work was more important than learning and also, Ethan Frome's parents needed taken care of while he was still a young man. He was forced to grow up too quickly, to become an adult much too ...
