.... example, imagery can be used in a likable manner to achieve the desired affect of making the reader enjoy and love the setting so that the theme may be elevated. In Edith Wharton’s Ethan Frome, Wharton first presents Starkfield as a cheery uplifting town saying, ‘The winter morning was clear as a crystal. The sunrise burned red in a pure sky, the shadows on the rim of the wood-lot were darkly blue, and beyond the white scintillating fields of far-off forest hung like smoke.’(pg.41) It also seems that whenever Mattie is around, Ethan’s view of the world improves. This is shown on his walk home from the church social with Mat .....

.... but in reality working class social life was divided by gender. Married women’s leisure tended to be separate from the public domain and was not very different from work, but was linked with domestic duties and family relations. It was during this period that to survive families had to send their sons and daughters into the labor force to supplement the earnings of the father, while the mother cooked, cleaned, cared for the children and manufactured goods in the home. The typical wage-earning woman of 1900 was young and single. The young single working women experienced time and labor similar to men’s rather than married women’s. They nee .....

.... I also believe that they say a lot about Shakespeare and how he would of thought. The main reasons though that I feel the witches roles were so significant is because Shakespeare wanted to please the king who was interested in demonology, to expose s mind the witches sort of showed his conscious escaping. Also to show human weakness or temptation, which gives the audience, a lot to listen for. The witches appearing in Act 1 had a huge affect on the story line. Even before we meet the witches we know the next few minuets will be very important, because of the significant weather change. You notice it has become very dark and tense this instantly makes .....

.... arrival of Europeans to America carried an array of diseases and scores of eager settlers. Ignorant to the ways of the white man, the natives welcomed their guests with no conceivable image of what was to come. Never having been exposed to alien germs, they were nearly demolished by the attack of the various diseases introduced by the new inhabitants. The remaining few were forced away from their homelands and confined to destitute reservations in the Indian Removal Act of 1830, more widely known as The Trail of Tears. (Trail) Regarded by the white man as uneducated and helpless, thousands of American Indians were forced to march to the reservatio .....

.... Beach," written about a century earlier in 1867. Introspection is the reflective examination of one's thought process and sensory experience. From the very first line of "The Dover Bitch," the introspection of the Matthew Arnold’s poem is completely deconstructed. The parody is a casual conversation that one might hear in a bar. The speaker could easily be the local bartender in any town. He indulges a listener and begins to tell a tale about a woman whose only thought about her time on the cliffs of Dover with Matthew was how nice his whiskers would have felt on her neck. In the original poem the girl is there with Matthew but barely menti .....

.... arrived at their next house, he orders his wife, her sister and his two daughters to unload the wagon. He walks with his son to DeSpain’s house where he entered without given permission, and proceeded to wipe his feet that was covered with horse manure, thus staining the rug. "Abner moves through life with no regard for his fellow humans and with no respect for their right to material possessions" (731). After being told to clean the rug, Abner took a rock and further ruined it. His coldness is shown when he demands his two daughters to clean the rug in pots of lye and then hanging it to dry. Later in the evening Abner calls his son to .....

.... with a mixture of envy and awe." She believes that her sister gets everything she wants; all she needs to do is ask somebody for what she wants. She thinks that, " no is a word that the world never learned to say to her." From her point of view, Dee controls the world with her hands; she can do whatever she wants. Another example that exposes the reality of Maggie is that even her mother treats them differently. Dee is the perfect girl while Maggie is just a normal person. Her mother dreams with Dee; even in her dreams she believes that Dee is perfect. In her dream, there are only three persons: Herself, Dee, and the TV guy. "Sometime I dre .....

.... verse continuing to the end of the poem. This form of free verse allows the poet a freedom for subtle rhythmic variety, for example using assonance. Or making words look like they rhyme. Which is shown quite regularly through this poem. Free verse also complements the style of the poet 'connecting' with the reader in the way that it seems like the poet is writing directly to the reader. Making it a more 'in touch' and personal poem to subjects that we can relate to. In this case. Having a respect for your Father or your heritage. The poems opening line, in a simple, complete one line statement, conveys the impression of the poet talking to us .....

.... Thou basest thing, avoid hence, from my sight! If after this command thou freight the court With thy unworthiness, thou diest. Away, Thou'rt poison to my blood. (I.I.126) According to the King and his Queen, her son, Cloten should be the rightful man for Imogen. Not only are they sold on the idea, but Cloten is as well. He tries every second he can to, in some way, try and do something to look great in front of her. His life, sadly, revolves around trying to do what his mother thinks is right and winning Imogen's affections. Much to his dismay she is not only annoye .....

.... a synonym for moderate by the author. In line two the speaker is describing the man as more lovely and more moderate than a summer’s day. This emphasizes the man’s beauty and how the man is viewed by the speaker. Line three, "Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May," tells why the man’s beauty is greater than that of a summer’s day. Shakespeare uses "rough winds" to symbolize imperfections. The speaker is implying that there are no imperfections in the young man, but there are in the summer, so the man cannot be compared to a summer’s day. In line four the speaker adds to this thought by saying that the summer also .....
