Faulkner's 'Is Answer Correct Date'

Is Answer Correct Date
What was the tone of the first paragraph on page three? The tone I thought most fit was excited, it also could be somewhat anxious but I think excited most accurately describes it. The narrator says “we lived on Loomis….Keenler….Paulina and before that I can’t remember.” The fact that the narrator mentions all these places shows the excited and somewhat anxious tone. The narrator could have simply said “we lived many different places” but by naming many of them she shows the excited tone. This must have been hard because they were constantly moving. In my opinion the narrator is unhappy with moving so much, she seems almost exasperated in the way she describes moving. The exasperation shows in the way she mentions

    The tone is represented by the words used to describe Paris and the thoughts of the lawyer’s wife. One of the dominating elements that contribute to the tone is when the lawyer’s wife expresses her feelings of her daily routine.

    Hurston’s Seraph on the Suwanee, the narrator portrays the homely town of Sawley in west Florida, a town where “the scanty flowers in front yards and in tin cans and buckets looked like the people”. The narrator explores the town’s seemingly simple and rustic way of living, along with the ignorant yet paradoxically informed people in the town, that comes from the town’s attitude where “few knew and nobody cared”. Ultimate In ly, through the use of devices such as contrasting imagery, simile, regional dialect, apposition and polysyndeton, the narrator emphasizes Sawley’s unorthodox knowledge and how despite not knowing much about the world around them, the people of Sawley are well off with being concerned of their every day affairs. At the…

    n the excerpt, I think it is developing an alarming atmosphere. It develops it by using the characters’ dialogue. For example, when george’s wife says, “i wish you’d look at the nursery,” that makes you think something is going to happen. Then when she tells george to “call a psychologist” to check the nursery, that brings more of a darker feeling. If a baby in a nursery is ok, you wouldn’t have to have someone check their brain.…

    Gothic literature can be classified by various characteristics. These characteristics can show up alone in some works, but when they appear simultaneously, the work can be determined as gothic. “Jane Eyre” (I would just italicize instead of “ but you do you) fully exhibits these common gothic elements; however, another work that incorporates many of these elements is “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Although at first glance, it appears to simply be a fairytale, upon deeper inspection, there are certain elements tied into the plotline that, I believe, classify it as a gothic tale. “Jane Eyre” is a classic example of gothic literature.…

    Mey Son Sotheary was eighteen years old when she started writing and most her work focused on the social issues arising from social confusion concerning radical changes of politics and economics. Reading her work on” My Sister” it appears she grew up in a family of three children and her father seems to have a better job in the family. Therefore, after reading this piece of literature and looking back at the motives behind her work it would be reasonable to review this reading with the Marxist theory which uses economic systems as a basis for analyzing literature. It appears that the narrator is from the countryside, but enjoys taking strolls with his younger sister to the city where they enjoy the sight of the city night life, modern cars,…
