Dover Beach By Matthew Arnold
.... downpour just took place and the set is almost black. Another scene that pops into my head is when Dr. Jekyll is relaxing in the park one afternoon and the change takes place. It reminded me almost of the opposite of the Wizard of Oz, when the movie went from black and white to color. Good and evil are clearly depicted through the image of lighting in this movie.
Another element of the direction that was credible was that of both the costume and the scenery. In the movie there were excelle .....

Down Goes Hurston
.... is trying to use pleasant vernacular while getting her point across. No where does Hurston attempt to state any opposition to racial oppression. Again, she is making the book sound like black culture is effortless and simple. ‘"Tea Cake, Ah ‘clare Ah don’t know whut tuh make outa you. You’se so crazy. You better lemme fix you some breakfast"’(102). This sounds exactly like a normal white person conversation. Most blacks of that era could only dream about the getting breakfast in morning. In trad .....

Dr Faustus
.... are– they contain neither truth nor purpose, in the end, despite what Sydney stated. Marlowe points out again and again in conversation with the wise (if evil) demons and devils the nature of hell. He states it quite simply that "All places be hell that is not heaven." (V, 125) Of earth, Mephastophilis asserts that "this is hell, nor am I out of it." (III, 76) Both these spite the humanistic love of the world, or as Abram's Glossary puts it: ...[Renaissance humanists] tended to emphasize the values ach .....

Dr Faustus
.... scenes. The comic scenes that seemed to reflect what Faustus did, also seemed to increase the readers knowledge of how powerful Faustus was. In all the scenes that other people tried to conjure up the devil, they could not handle the devils and usually failed in their attempts. Take for instance scene eight, lines twenty to forty-five, when Robin and Rafe conjured up Mephastophilis they could not handle the sight of him and he changed them into an ape and a dog respectively, because they were just p .....

Dr Jekyl And Mr Hyde - Chapter Summary
.... the way he seems emotionally cold to the situation. The strange man presented a cheque signed by an important person, which they together cashed the next morning. Enfield states that he refers to the building as Black Mail House. Utterson asks Enfield if he ever asked who lived in the building, but Enfield explains that he doesn't ask questions about strange things:
"the more it looks like Queer Street, the less I ask."
The building appears lived in, and the two men carry on their walk. Enfield con .....

Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde
.... free himself from the bonds of poverty, oppression and racial discrimination. Walter Lee feels that with money he can change the hegemony’s view of him as a poor, stupid, black servant. The hegemony’s social construction of reality about blacks as being lesser and the hegemony’s ethnocentric perception of being superior, is corroborated in an article titled "The Colour Bar of Beauty" from The Peak. Cristina Rodrigues, a member of the black cultural and social activist group Olodum, says &quo .....

Dr. Suess
.... what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities." -Dr. Seuss. Be able to enjoy a story is equally important
to what is learned from it, and millions of people enjoy the stories of Seuss each day.
Seuss helps the reading process along by making reading fun for children. He uses rhyming words, like in his book Fox in Sox. The line "When beetles fight these battles in a bottle with their paddles and the bottle’s on a poodle and the poodle’s eating noodles..." makes read .....

Dream Deferred
.... racial equality. The dream of racial equality grows in the body like a sore. When the dream fails, it breaks open and could fall prey to outside poisons. These poisons can lead to destruction. Racial riots and other such instances are examples of this destruction. Hughes even furthers his use of symbolism in line six, "Does it stink like rotten meat?" A dream that is left out too long without the proper care it needs will start to stink like meat left out of the refrigerator.
The final .....

Drown: A Consideration
.... grammar. Diaz continues his grammatical attack on the United States’ rules with his lack of quotation marks:
Papi pulled me to my feet by my ear.
If you throw up-
I wont I cried, tears in my eyes…
Ya, Ramon, ya. It’s not his fault, Mami said.
All of the conversations are printed in the manner above, without any quotation marks and sometimes even a new paragraph to indicate another speaker. Diaz successfully attacks the United States in Yunior’s defense, but through language style rather than blatan .....

Drunken Boat
.... Nevertheless, accompanying the beauty of all that Rimbaud's boat has experienced are "tempests" and "spiral-flaming skies" (Rimbaud 1174). With all of the good things in life that he has seen and experienced, he has experienced his share of melancholy and despair. The boat in Rimbaud's The Drunken Boat appears to have been on water for ages, and has apparently become weary of both the bad things that he has experienced and the actual journey itself. Like a tired slave at the close of long life of toil, e .....

Dubliners
.... illustrated in the stories "Evelyn" and "A Painful Case." In the latter, Mr. James Duffy, despite his dislike of the "modern an pretentious" Dublin, decides to stay at least in the suburbs and commute back and forth to his house. Also in the story of "Eveline", we see her refusing to leave with her fiancé because of her ties to her home and her city. She couldn't leave; she couldn't abandon it. The small or perhaps hidden pride in the city of Dublin displayed itself in subtle methods throughout th .....

Dubliners

Joyce writes, "In one of these trimly built cars was a party of four young men whose spirits seemed to be at present well above the level of successful Gallicism: in fact, these four young men were almost hilarious." 5 The men in the car were very carefree. "They knew that they would probably not w .....

Dubliners

Characters The characters are also unable to relate successully either to each other or with the world; if Dubliners are paralysed in their relationships, their paralysis is often of a sexual nature. Narrative technique The omniscient narrator and the single point of view are rejected: each story is told from the perspective of a char .....

Dulce Est Decrum Est

'In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.'
And then:
'If you could hear at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues.'
Owen generates two powerful images aimed at discouraging the mere thought of war by its emotionally distressing descriptions. The way in which Owen moved the images from a general concept .....

Dulce Est Decrum Est

The images drawn in this poem are so graphic that it could make readers feel sick. For example, in these lines: "If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood/ Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs/ Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud,"(21-23) shows us that so many men were brutally killed during this war. Also, when the gas bomb was dropped, "[s]omeone still yelling out and stumbling/ [a]nd flound'ring like a man in fire or lime.../ [h]e plunges at me, gutterin .....
