In the essay “The Novel Démeuble” by Willa Cather the statement that stands out. Is “Whatever is felt upon the page without being specifically named there-that it seems to me, is created. It is the inexplicable presence of the thing not named, of the over-tone divided by the car but not heard by it the verbal mood, the emotional aura of the fact or thing or the deed, that gives high quality to the novel or the drama as well as to poetry itself” (.....). Cather showed how there is a type of meaning that makes the reader feel and imagine concepts that weren't written in the literature. It was shown in her novels One of Ours and Lucy Gayheart.

    In the novel “My Antonia” by Willa Cather, it is debatable whether characters Jim or Antonia learned more throughout their relationship. Personally, I believe that Jim learned more throughout their relationship. Considering that Jim is the narrator of the story, we get to see his inner thoughts, and never have confirmation of Antonia’s feelings, we just know what Jim thinks she has learned. Most first-person narrators can be considered unreliable, because we will never be certain on the feelings and thoughts of other characters. We are experiencing Jim’s story in the novel.…

    Foundation Before Density In Scott McCloud’s graphic essay, “Show & Tell”, McCloud uses an appreciable combination of words and images interchangeably to convey clear and comprehensible thoughts, He establishes better, more understood, literature by depicting images directly alongside pieces of text. Evidently, pictures are an associative mechanism that enables newcomer and experienced readers to make visual connections to text they normally would not conclude to by only analyzing and interpreting words (McCloud). Moreover, aside from images allowing readers to make connections, illustrations are particularly crucial components in literary works because they can convey coherent messages all on their own. In all, visual depictions in literature…

    Two Chunk Paragraph answering the Essential Question: Understanding the connotative meaning of figurative language helps the reader to determine the theme of a literary work such as the narrative poem, “The Highwayman,” by Alfred Noyes. The theme of the story is true love is worth fighting for. This was illustrated with figurative language when the Highwayman declared, “I’ll come to the by moonlight, though hell should bar the way” (Noyes 5). This proves that this saying is true, the redcoats do not like him, because he steals money, and gives to the poor. The theme is revealed again when Bess, the landlord’s daughter determined to save her lover’s life.…

    A Study in Temperament We live in a materialistic society with people controlled by money and what they can accomplish with it. Every individual on this planet exemplifies a cog in the wheel of progress, as Charlie Chaplin asserts in his popular film Modern Times that we live to do what others want in order to survive. Willa Cather’s “Paul’s Case” illustrates the story of a suicidal young man who was surrounded by a grim environment not suitable to his liking. Cather illuminates the complications with society’s norms and how those guidelines might affect people similar to Paul.…

    On the surface, psychoanalysis can be defined as “a system of psychological theory and therapy that aims to treat mental disorders by investigating the interaction of conscious and unconscious elements in the mind and bringing repressed fears and conflicts into the conscious mind by techniques such as dream interpretation and free association” (GOOGLE). As a primary component of the psychoanalysis movement, Sigmund Freud encompasses theories regarding dream interpretation in order to reveal one’s internal thoughts. According to Freud 's theories about dream analysis, our unconscious mind enables us to manipulate our internal thoughts and emotions into a form of artistic expression. As humans, we typically have an innate tendency to suppress…

    Mark Doty particularly mentions sensorium – a sensual yet complex perception owned by everyone. And since, everybody has a different way of perceiving the world, it is, in fact, difficult to deliver the description of the world around us in some intimately coined words. Doty articulates that the ability to bring out the words of description is either “the writer’s blessing or the writer’s disease, depending on [his] point of view” (Doty, 10). I particularly noticed how his poem “Description” does not convey numerous words of color, but instead, Doty uses phrases to describe the particular color. For instance, he does not mention the color of the “map” but he uses the word “gouaches” to picture those “creases and flecks.”…

    Many novels are unable to be appreciated and understood if they do not hold a deeper meaning within their context. An example is The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger which is a famous bildungsroman novel set around the 1950s. It is narrated by a young boy named Holden Caulfield who flunks out of school and goes on a journey in New York City to figure himself out and to learn to come to terms with his transition from innocent childhood into phony adulthood. In this novel, J.D. Salinger’s use of symbolism expresses the emotions and desires of Holden Caulfield which relate to the overall message of the story that he is afraid of transitioning into adulthood. There are many symbols relating to Holden’s relationships that clearly show his fear…

    Willa Cather’s poem entitled Prairie Spring is one of the greatest epigraphs in literature. The use of symbolism, personification, foreshadowing, and similes is the key to Cather’s success of Prairie Spring. The major theme of O Pioneers is the dramatic transformation of the prairie landscape. In 16 years, “the little town of Hanover, anchored on a windy Nebraska tableland” (3) goes from “trying not to be blown away” (3) to a “high, active, resolute stretch of country.” (57)…

    Wolfgang Iser’s essay The Reading Process: A Phenomenological Approach, delineates the author-reader relationship in completion of a literary work, where the author plays the ‘artistic’ role, which is that of the creator of the text, and the reader plays the ‘aesthetic’ role, which, he mentions is the process of the ‘realization’ of the text . (Iser 279) He refers to Roman Ingarden’s “Intentionale Satzkorrelate” (Intentional sentence correlatives), where the interaction of the otherwise incoherent sentences forms a coherent whole of a piece of art work. This, along with the role of the reader to form the ‘gestalt’ of the literary text can be co-opted to closely frisk the writing technique of Virgnia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway, where she employs…

    In his poem “William Street”, Slessor use language that appeals to the senses. He does this in order to allow us to go on the journey with him and experience it through his eyes. Slessor appeals to our sight when he says, ‘The pulsing arrows and the running fire spilt on stones.’ From this we imagine arrows pulsing on and off and the lights of pubs and bars streaming across the street, making it seem alive and bustling with people. In the third stanza Slessor appeals to our sense of taste and smell though the use of alliteration to enable us to view the scene as though we were there.…

    Spotlights In almost every piece of literature you find certain words or descriptive objects that point towards a meaning that the author is trying to convey. Although sometimes one can look right over them and not notice them at all. These symbols play a key role in helping to move along a piece, as well as to help expose any meaning the author is hoping to expose. One such meaning is from “The Pardoner’s Tale,” Geoffrey Chaucer, which takes place and was written during the middle ages. This short story focuses on a group of highly intoxicated friends, who after seeing their deceased friend pass by decide to hunt down and kill death.…
