Just like in Henry's case which is shown that he lived his life full of regrets and crying about what he lost he is on his death bed. When the gangrene is killing him he thinks of his life and what he achieved but now it's too late to change it. So he comes to a dastardly conclusion about his life and his unfulfilled ambitions. This is the mental part of the death describing as a flashback of his entire life what he did and what he could've done but didn't.

By writing “The snows of Kilimanjaro” the reader can learn about artistic creation, war, death and women, these concepts are what Hemingway writes in the story. Objectors of modernism are against rules of form and of grammar.

    The application of color and paint in a piece creates a noticeable surface texture within the work. This surface texture can be used to enhance the general chaos or conversely the straightforwardness of a work. The use of color within the image also has an effect on the overall mood of the painting and the viewer’s perception of the subjects. In Claude Monet’s Grainstacks (Snow Effect) the heavily textured surface of the painting and visibility of the separate brush strokes creates a sense of complexity, which along with the practice of keeping colors separate, adds to the visual depth of an otherwise very plain subject but still enforces the general mood of the painting. On the other hand in Kingstein’s Christ in a Pawn Shop the surface texture…

    A book written about a historical tragedy with a narrator who is stereotyped as a counteractive figure is very abnormal. The Book Thief, written by Markus Zusak, is a historical fiction novel with Death as the narrator. The general idea that Death as a character would not have any guilt or shame towards the deaths of people is inaccurate in this story. In this particular narration, Zusak gives Death the personality of a regular human. Survivor's guilt is the feeling of guilt for having survived a catastrophe in which others died.…
