    James Baldwin’s story Sonny’s Blue has a repeating motif and theme symbolizing lightness and darkness. The author uses lightness and darkness as a metaphor to symbolize connections in our everyday life. I disagree with Michael Clark who suggests Baldwin uses all the metaphors to support childhood in the story. The author makes numerous connections with the motif to not only represent childhood, but also every stage of life.…

    At the end of the story, the narrator describes a glass of milk and scotch that he had ordered for his brother as shaking above his head on the piano “like the very cup of trembling” (p. 61) and bathed in blue light to illustrate the difficult position Sonny is in. This phrase is originally form the bible, where it is used as a symbol to depict the suffering that his people has gone through and God tells his people that they will no longer have to drink from that cup. So, the imagery of this cup brings with it a promise of release from suffering. When Sonny drinks from this cup after performing, it is a reminder of the suffering he has endured, while showing that he has a chance for salvation, like he has begun to find through his music. All the while, this cup is bathed in blue light, a mixture of light and dark, of salvation and desolation.…

    The narrator displayed nothing but positive emotions towards the old man, yet he conceived the notion to murder him, which shows that he knew the difference between right and wrong. The narrator explains how cautious he was and how he crept into his room every night at midnight for seven days yet did not murder the old man because he did not see the "evil eye". At one point on the eighth night, the old man wakes up to a noise and sits up for an hour staring into the doorway to which the narrator is locked into a trance and does not move a muscle, most likely to prevent suspicion and possibly being caught. The narrator also shows his murderous arrogance by explaining to the audience that he would greet the old man every morning and ask him how his night passed, which shows the audience that he was conscious of his actions because he seemed to get gratification from the fear he was instilling in the old…

    Light is often associated with truth, shining through the darkness, breaking through the lies to show the facts behind it. Light will illuminate what is really there, ridding you of the uncertainty and doubt that the darkness gives you. In Emily Dickinson’s poem, “There’s a certain slant of light”, light is thought of as just that. In this poem, light comes in through windows, exposing the truth that cannot be seen when the window is closed. The light pushes away the darkness, causing the shadows to run away and flee.…

    Before and After Bibliography Research Process “The Tale-Tell Heart” is a story full of unexpected switches and contrasts, starting from the entrance of a psycho murderer narrator, also a loyal servant, to a shocking and unimaginable outcome. The first impression I had while reading the title was to think it would be another romantic story; surprisingly, that had any or no relation with the real story content.

However, the word “heart” on the tittle gave me the impression of a real life story as something truly and faithful narrated by someone that had…

    "How has the Gothic genre maintain relevance?" (1000 Words) Despite the Gothic genre originating from the 18th century, and being most prevalent during the 19th century, it has still managed to maintain its relevance in the contemporary 21st century, as Gothic composers are still able to appeal to the human senses and emotions through their incorporation of a myriad of Gothic conventions and motifs. These conventions, evident in texts such as Edgar Allan Poe’s narrative poem and short story, The Raven (1845) and The Black Cat (1843) respectively, and Henry James’ novella, The Turn of the Screw (1898), create a sense of mystery; the looming darkness of danger and evil, the fear, the suspense, and even madness, captivate readers ' attention and…
