In the middle of the book, Andy Jackson’s still learning how to cope with the guilt, everyone

chapters 7-9 Happiness is finally a tone in this book rather than the recurring somber moments throughout chapters 1-6. Chapters 7-9 are different than basically different than all of the past chapters. This is because they have a more fun filled feeling to them. That is until the end of the three chapters.

The books opens with a newspaper article around a car wreck that killed the town's star basketball player, Robbie Wachington. Andy was the driver of the car and his three friends, Robbie, B.j., and Tyrone were also in the car when the accident occurred. Three of the young men were drinking which was the main reason for the accident happening in the first place. Andy, B.j., and Tyron all left the scene with minor wounds. The memory that haunts Andy the most is, him listening to Robbie shout to him, "Andy!

He was grieving, he was embarrassed, and he was angry. I couldn’t imagine losing a hand. I began to feel pity for Andy, however my frustration with the piece still continued. I noticed that in the beginning of the story, Berry characterized Andy as strongly opposed to the rapidly mechanizing world, however in the middle of the story, the author described Andy laying awake at night, unable to sleep, “trying to piece himself whole by mechanical contrivances and devices,” (148). If Andy was so opposed to mechanization, why would he be imagining and inventing new technology?

In the essay, Prose incorporated breaks between paragraphs. These breaks symbolize a new topic being brought into the light. These breaks strengthen her argument and desire for change. The audience becomes more captivated as more evidence and opinions are revealed. Prose’s writing style in this essay also contains the titles of multiple books that are often read in high schools across America.

However, Andy’s past war experiences and the horrifying events that he had seen on the battlefield haunted him endlessly. Rather than living a traditional life in an ordinary home,

Being different from others sometimes creates a desire for a person to change oneself. In the novel How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, by Julia Alvarez, the Garcia girls are stuck between America and the Dominican Republic, the two main settings of the novel. The girls are all dragged out of their homeland and thrown into an environment they thought would be welcoming. Even though they specifically come to America to live the so called “American Dream,” they hit some obstacles. When the girls see how different American culture is, and how much they do not fit in, they become self-conscious.

This is particularly apt when considering Carter’s use of gustatory imagery ironically depicting the Marquis as a ‘connoisseur’ and ‘gourmand’ which adds to his sadistic lifestyle and so symbolises control through stripping her with ease like ‘stripping leaves off an artichoke’ and resembling the pornographic image of ‘Rops…Reproof of Curiosity’ sexualising the image of women. Perhaps, Carter presented the Marquis as a ‘connoisseur’ recycling gender stereotypes; the men with their eyes set on women and the women being passive. In addition, she is always forced to wear a collar of rubies with the simile ‘red ribbon like the memory of a wound’ echoes the violent images of cut throats and the guillotine which ironically resembles the tragic end of the previous wives hence almost an invitation to

He then molds the two storylines to create a comprehensive truth. The excitement of the reader is aroused with the idea that the killers are on their way. The first chapter is titled “The Last to See them Alive” which is foreshadowing of the murders that are to take place. In addition, while introducing Mrs. Clutter, Capote writes, “Now, on this final day of her life …” (Capote 28) creating an unpleasant feeling in the reader’s minds.

And furthermore, recognize the symbolism documented in the painting for iconographic analysis. In doing so, this will highlight and comment on important characteristics of Omnibus Life in London as it yields new information regarding the emerging shift in social inequality. Through formal analysis, the visual characteristics of the work present an interesting insight into the painting. The first emotion that I experienced with this work was claustrophobia and crowdedness. Part of the feeling spawned from the three-dimensionality of the painting.

Although the audience can relate to the general scenarios Hamlet undergoes, most of his experiences are quite incomprehensible to the average person. Thus, proposing these questions naturally leads the audience to put themselves in Hamlet’s shoes, evaluating the “whips and scorns” he has endured, which in turn generates empathy. Interestingly enough, empathy and projection are opposite ideas (Abeles); as Hamlet attempts to redirect the focus off of himself, the audience does the exact opposite by evaluating Hamlet’s life from his cynical yet unique perspective. At the same time, the audience can still identify with Hamlet’s pain stemming from the loss of his father and disconnect with his lover, among other

“His heart permanently damaged, his immune system shot, his back hurts, his ankles hurt, and he is unable to work at any job.. he is forty six years old (Schlosser 190).” This quote was at the very end of the chapter because it leaves us with something so impactful. Schlosser ends the chapter stating “he is forty six years old” to show the physical toll it took on a man who should be in good health. He didn’t receive proper medical care or recovery time, and whenever he came back to work he was never cut a break simply worked harder.

is absorbed by one final feeling: “It was as if the shame would outlive him” (178). Many interpretations may arise from the question around Joseph K.’s “shame.” The novel begins with a clear statement of his innocence: “Somebody must have made a false accusation against Josef K., for he was arrested one morning without having done anything wrong” (1). This suggests that it is during the stream of his trial that Joseph K becomes guilty, therefore resulting in his shame. The reason for his arrest inevitably appears as a mystery.

While many have been familiar with the title of the play The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, one should also pay attention to its subtitle, ‘trivial comedy for serious people’. The play is a satire that ridicules the upper class to point out its fault (Kreuz and Roberts 100).The aim is to ridicule the ‘serious people’, members of the upper class in Victorian society. The characters were too attentive to social propriety and etiquette, which were as trivial as the comedy suggests in the eyes of Wilde. As they were too stubborn to alter the behaviour, the propriety and etiquette became superficial and meaningless. Their idleness and hypocrisy are other points at which Wilde recurrently mock in the play.

By this he means that ‘art’ does not want to be accessible only to a few “highly cultivated men” but instead also to ordinary people, like the people in the audience. By using words such as “cheerful freedom”, “open-heartedness” and “reality” in contrast with “sickens”, “selfishness” and “luxury” he creates the sense that the bad things happen because of the limitation of art and that the better things will come if only people learn to enjoy art. He then says that if art has a limit he “does not wish her to live” which is a strong exaggerated statement and was made to convince the audience of his argument. Morris relates “an honest artist” not sharing his work with “a rich man” who eats food in front of starving soldiers, this could also be interpreted as an exaggeration and might have been so by part of the audience, however the use of imagery would have added to his conviction. He ends his lecture on a powerful note, “I do not want art for a few, any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few”, by using the repetition and relating art to education and freedom he heightens the importance of art in the eyes of the audience as a final technique to persuade
