1838's Woodland Point-Personal Narrative

In his essay, “First Wilderness: America’s Wonderland and Indian Removal from Yellowstone National Park,” Mark David Spence argues that the creation of Yellowstone National Park is an early illustration of removing native peoples as a way to “preserve” nature. The idea of Yellowstone being a pristine and untouched wilderness, is challenged by Spence as he brings to light the presence of Indigenous peoples and communities who had occupied the land prior to the national park being established. He advocates for a better understanding of Yellowstone National Park’s history, encompassing the dispossession of the Indigenous peoples within the area. Spence explains how the wilderness preservation of Yellowstone ignores and dismisses any connection

Located in a “lonesome area,” the town did not have much to see. All of the local buildings were falling apart; with their chipping paint and “dirty windows” and “irrelevant signs.” The citizens of the dreary town were nice people, everyone knew everyone, and they spoke to each other in an accent "barbed with prairie twang.” The description of this town makes it sound very dull and boring, doesn’t it? Yes.

This paragraph is filled with figurative language, in the first sentence, “the sun blazed icily” is an oxymoron. Yes the sun will blaze but not icily. Knowles does this to show the stillness and overall chilling setting of Gene’s situation. This paragraph is also filled with imagery as “its clean rays shed a blue-white glimmer”. The sun is being described as giving off these beautiful rays that, rather than giving off a red and orange glow, the sun gives off a cool color effect of blue and white to represent the solemn tone between Gene and Finny.

The Flowers Summer, while being a very hot and dry season, is also a feeling that we can’t necessarily comprehend. It’s a feeling of happiness and freedom, a time to do what you want without any worries. This is shown to us in the short story, “The Flowers”, written by Alice Walker. After Myop, the innocent ten year old, discovers the dead body of the large man who once hung from a tree, the author wrote, “And the summer was over”, meaning that her innocence, her time of freedom and ignorance, was gone along with her happiness. The author uses words such as sharecropper cabin to explain the setting which should lead the reader to the conclusion that this story takes place post-Civil war.

The first glimpse of isolation we see comes from Robert Walton. The Arctic seafarer whose letters to his sister open and close Frankenstein. Walton picks the tousled Victor Frankenstein up off the ice, helps nurse him back to health, and listens to Victor’s story. Within his second letter to his sister he confides in her “But I have one want which I have never yet been able to satisfy,

Sunshine was rare thing in Middleboro. The sun didn’t dare peep out at the little town during summer or winter. The townspeople saw it maybe five times a year, always during autumn or spring, and on those days when the town did glimpse it, it was a feeble and cowardly thing. Its rays were never a burnt orange like in many other towns around the world, but were a pale yellow. That’s why it was such a weird thing for Aaron Clarken to wake up one winter morning to find sunlight filtering in his windows.

“ And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the tree, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”(pg. 6) I think Fitzgerald, F. Scott wrote this sentance to symbolise the rebirth of life. It also infisist that the setting is occuring in the summer. “ All I kept thinking about,

Amari and the other captives know that it is their last day before their journey overseas. The sun that woke them every morning and signaled the time for night is the last thing they'll see before embarking the ship. The sun is the only thing that ties her back to her homeland. The author states, ”The spirit of the copper sun seemed to bleed for them as it glowed bright red against the deepening blue of the great water. It sank slowly as if saying farewell,” (Draper, 34).

The writer talks of when daylight begins and what he thinks about the beginning of the day. The hopeless lines of the poem are not describing

In life we can all relate to the feeling of longing for something. In All Summer in a Day, Ray Bradbury’s characters’ lives are clouded with rain and the only see the sun once every seven years. Bradbury uses metaphors, emotions, and repetition to express the sun’s meaning of hope to the main character, Margot, and the children of rocket men and women on Venus. Metaphors and emotions are used to help the reader relate to the connection with the sun. He describes the sun and the rain using metaphors, and uses the children’s emotions to help further the idea.

In the beginning of the story, a description of the setting is presented: “The hills across the valley of the Ebro were long and white. On this side there was no shade and no trees and the station was between

In “All day in a Summer” everyone thought that the sun wouldn’t come out. In All day in a Summer it says,” Don’t wait around here! Cried the boy savagely. “You won’t see nothing!” In this quote it shows how the people didn’t believe that the sun would come out.

It was surprisingly warm, that sun, for a day so late in the year.” (King 56). Andy’s face turned towards the warmth of the sunlight, the same warmth of hope from the beer scene. Red even notes that the sun was warmer than it should be that
