  • The Great Scarf Of Birds Analysis

    595 Words  | 2 Pages

    The diction surrounding this alteration enhances the change in attitude from self-loath to outer-disgust, such as in lines 8 through 13, which read, “The sky/ was dramatic with great straggling V’s/ of geese streaming south, mare’s tails above them./ Their trumpeting made us look up and around./ The course sloped into salt marshes,/ and this seemed to cause the abundance of birds.” No longer does he use nature as symbolism of himself; instead he spills blame upon it and deters it from himself. The diction in the lines detailing the new birds he witnesses places nature once more outside of his correlation, as lines 14 through 18 read, “As if out of the Bible/ or science fiction,/ a cloud appeared, a cloud of dots/ like iron filings, which a magnet/ underneath the paper

    This gives the effect that although there is mass devastation, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, in this case for the eagle, the leftover remains of a carcass. However, as seen throughout the poem this isn’t the case for everyone and everything as the dead or dying clearly outnumber those prospering from the drought. This further adds to the miserable and discouraging mood of the poem. Other poetic devices are also used during the course of the

  • Icarus and the Myth of Deconstruction

    In all three texts, it is the act of analysis which seems to occupy the center of the discursive stage, and the act of analysis of the act of analysis which in some way disrupts that centrality. In the resulting asymmetrical, abyssal structure, no analysis -- including this one -- can intervene without transforming and repeating other elements in the sequence, which is not a stable sequence.

  • Similarities Between Williams And The Fall Of Icarus

    605 Words  | 2 Pages

    Landscape with the Fall of Icarus has no rhyme scheme or punctuation. The longest line has four words. This use of form causes the reader to focus on the shape of the poem, which is long and thin and almost makes it seems as though the words themselves are falling. This isn’t to say that Williams does not make use of the language within the poem, however. He creates a powerful image in the fourth stanza by using alliteration to describe how the world is “sweating in the sun” and how it melted “the wings’ wax”. The sun and the wax are cornerstones of the image of Icarus and his fall. More importantly, this is immediately followed, in its own line, by the word “unsignificantly”. This direct correlation shows how the sun and the wax, though iconic, matter very little to the ploughman and whoever else happened to be by the sea when Icarus drowned. Though his focus is more on form, Williams’s use of language adds layers of depth to his

    1158 Words  | 3 Pages

    “When i was a child i played with my cousin outside, where the lamplight fell upon the group and the singing of the old people rose around us and carries away into the darkness.” the idea of dark and light is a motif throughout this whole story not only showing good versus evil but also knowledge and the lack of knowledge. This also encompasses the traditions of singing and dancing. The elders and the singing bring knowledge which is represented through the lamplight which is singing on the children, who will soon gain the knowledge passed down. “Still, it was early in the morning, and the birds sang out of the shadows.” this is when he is older and the birds are the elders, still singing their traditional songs.

  • Grounding For The Metaphysics Of Morals, By Immanuel Kant

    1044 Words  | 3 Pages

    Immanuel Kant is steadfast in his belief that before anyone can do anything absolutely moral, they must reason what would occur if every person on Earth did this exact thing, or as he puts it, “Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law” (Kant, Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals, 30). This philosophy seems sound, but is actually inherently flawed, as when it comes into conflict with his opinions on lying, it makes both points to be somewhat impossible to live by. It also does not account for different people operating in different situations all over the world, instead opting for some sort of absolute, infallible morality. This casts ethics in a disturbingly black and white

As he watches the bird’s fly above him the artistic consciousness shows it’s maturation. “What birds were they?” Stephen asks himself as he begins to artistically analyze them and actions. “He watched their flight; bird after bird....They were flying high and low but ever round and round in straight and curving lines and ever flying from left to right, circling about a temple of air.” Stephen mind captures details and draws their path.

Stephen’s artistic mind uses a simile to describe their cries; illustrating how he is consciousness has

  • A White Heron Discovery

    181 Words  | 1 Pages

    In A White Heron, Sylvia’s discovery of the white heron’s nest is significant to her on multiple levels; the discovery signals the approval of those she cares greatly about, represents a personal achievement, and underlines her connection with nature. Firstly, Sylvia’s discovery means that she can secure the friendship and approval of someone she seems to care greatly about. When Sylvia discovers the heron’s nest, she eagerly anticipates telling “the stranger” of her discovery, and she excitedly wonders how he will react and what he will think of her. Secondly, words such as “daring”, “determined”, and “human spirit” show that Sylvia overcame her fears to make this discovery. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, Sylvia becomes one with nature

  • Prometheus Allusion

    Additionally, the author utilizes two distinct imagery in forms of allusions. The first allusion refers to Prometheus, which foreshadows Allie’s rebellion against Mack’s words. In the story, Mack explains that Prometheus is a titan god “who stole god’s fire and gave it to man” which parallel Allie’s acquirement of the ability to fly and gleefully showing it to her daughter (Miller 2, 4). Prometheus becomes Allie’s counterpart because her desire to revive the euphoric feeling of flying entails her to share the joy to her daughter, resembling Prometheus determination to “better the lives of his creation” (Miller 4; “Prometheus”). The next allusion refers to Icarus, who disobeyed his father’s words to not soar too close to the sun. Allie’s counterpart

  • Twelfth Night Figurative Language

    Finally, another example in the passage that really stands out due to the use of imagery is when the narrator describes the setting of where he seemed to be during the first days of winter. According to him, “The space of sky above [him] was the colour of ever-changing violet and towards it the lamps of the street lifted their feeble lanterns”. The “ever-changing violet” colour that the narrator describes the sky as having and the lamps lifting “their feeble lanterns” indicates that that part of the passage was during the evening, which the reader wouldn't have known otherwise. Imagery in this case, is used to describe the setting and how it looked and felt which is vital in order to create and give the reader a sense of the mood and atmosphere in the passage. Ultimately if it weren’t for the usage of imagery in the passage, the mood and atmosphere the readers would have hardly been able to notice or detect the mood and atmosphere of the passage as imagery had such an important role in conveying the intended mood and atmosphere that the author wanted the readers to

  • The Use of Nature in The Charm

    722 Words  | 2 Pages

    Nature regularly plays an integral role in all forms of literature whether it be novels, short stories, poetry, or screenplays. Ilfat Idilbi uses nature to the same extent in The Charm very effectively. In Idilbi's short story, nature is given the task of depicting the mood through the descriptions of the events as well as supplying symbolism that relates directly to the story line and the characters.. It also is a very important contributor to the depiction of the development of the main character, Um Safi. While these uses of nature are important for a deeper understanding of The Charm, they do not take away from the theme of the story if they are not understood completely.

    The crack of thunder, a flash of light; nature is a force narrowly known to man, nonetheless Shakespeare takes hold of the beast and tames it for his advantage in his work. Nature in Shakespeare's King Lear is not simply one of many themes to be uncovered and analyzed, but rather it can be considered to be the foundation of the whole play. From Kingship through to personal human relations, the representations of the physical world to notions of the heavenly realm, or even to the portrayal of human nature to the use of animal imagery; nature saturates every line of King Lear. Within this context I will divulge deeper into Shakespeare’s King Lear, in finding how nature helps to portray the two extremes of the human nature: good and evil.
