Holy Sonnet XIV
.... beliefs but expressing publicly his views. Shakespeare’s sonnet is written for a wider audience as he is trying to get people to see his point of view. This is that the conventional blazon of the love sonnet is inaccurate and either ridiculous or impossible.
The language used for each sonnet is both different and surprising. In Shakespeare’s sonnet the language is interesting because in a love sonnet the reader does not expect language like "black wires grow on her head’ or "her breasts are .....

Home Burial
.... but also because the physical side of their marriage is absent. Touch is a form of communication that the total absence of alone can destroy a loving union. Frost leaves the reader with a realistically portrayed image of their marital turmoil reaching a height as Amy opens the door, ready to walk out on the marriage. The melancholy conclusion to Frost's work ends up being the result of failed communication.
"Home Burial" is unfortunately a reflection of the reality that many marriages fail .....

There through the arm Achilleus transfixed him with the bronze spearhead, and he, arm hanging heavy, waited and looked his death in the face. Achilleus struck him with the sword's edge at his neck, and swept the helmed head far away, and the marrow gushed from the neckbone, and he went down to the ground at full length. (20.477-484)" In th .....

Hoop Dreams
.... to school, keep their grades up, and this would cause a big financial strain on both of their families. At first the both sets of parents seemed shocked that a school like St. Joseph would want two kids from the ghetto to play basketball for them. Mrs. Agee said, "I have heard of stories like this before where the school would suck the family in and when they could not keep up with tuition they were kicked out of the school." (p. 43) St. Joseph said that they could not promise that this would not happ .....

House Made Of Dawn
.... and show a listener instead of telling, making the moment an experience instead of just a moment. The listener can feel what the speaker is trying to say; there is no need for interpretation, everything is already understood. Momaday convinces the reader that the spoken language goes beyond what words are being said; the words become their meaning, transcend into complete understanding and clarity. The experience should be remembered as one of self-revelation and understanding, not a moment filled with .....

House Made Of Dawn:The Use Of Language
.... instead of alive. The white man’s words break everything down until there is nothing left, nothing more to imagine and connect with. This is what Momaday shows the reader by putting in Abel’s questionnaire when he leaves prison and enters relocation. Every part of Abel will be filed into a category, denying Abel to be viewed as a whole and have his words heard by unbiased ears. Through this Momaday shows the reader that there comes a point when there can be too many words, when perfection has been at .....

House On Mango Street
.... high heels when they were about 11 years old, and they ran into a bum on the stoop of a tavern. At first they thought he was a nice guy but when they were talking to him for about 5 minutes they realized he was a little strange and he scared them so they left and ran away (P.39). This is another example of how shy Esperanza was. She stated in "The First Job": "When lunch time came I was scared to eat alone in the company lunchroom". This weakness allowed her to be gullible and vulnerable. In "Red Clo .....

Howards End: Book Review
.... fact, the book is very truthful in the description of class problems of the country. In Howards End Forster talks about two classes and two ideologies that are separated by the thick wall of social prejudices and misunderstandings. The two social groups are represented by the cultured, idealistic Schlegels and the pragmatic, business-oriented Wilcoxes. The Schlegel Sisters, who aren't 'pure' English, but people of German origin, personify Forster's dream about what people's philosophy of life should b .....

The imagery used here is very well placed- dark "Negro" streets give a picture of gloominess, "angry fix" deals with the consumption of drugs. He really blames society for his friends going "mad" when in fact they are not, they are just different. So much pain and pressure is put on them that they are "demanding instantaneous lobotomy" Ginsberg .....

For who fardel bear, till Birnam Wood do come to Dunshire, but that fear of something after death."Thirdly Clemens compares adults and children. Clemens shows adults as the usual group in society, and children as the unusual. In the story adults are not shown with much info, but children are shown as more imaginative. The two main examples of this are when Collier pg.5 Huckleberry fakes that he had died, and when Tom and Huck "help" Jim escape .....
