The Wasteland is an overwhelming complexity, filled with a plethora of literature references. Ignoring the allusions, the piece itself shifts between different speakers and scenes so blatantly makes this especially difficult to digest. In one moment, a woman is reminiscing about riding on a sled when she was young. Then BAM. She’s suddenly staring at a dead sailor that’s decaying at the bottom of the sea. Needless to say, the plot is probably not the main focal point. Nevertheless, there is a…

Morrison accomplishes this, through her writing she scrupulously decides which rhetoric devices to use in order to do so. Throughout her writing Morrison uses Scesis Onomaton to emphasize particular aspects she deems vital to the storytelling, while using symbolism to…

The point of view in the story “Everyday Use,” by Alice Walker plays a big part. Throughout the story, one of Mama’s daughters came to visit. The way Mama and Maggie see her is not in a very pleasant way. In fact, they are scared to tell her no when it comes to anything. From Mama’s perspective Dee seems like this rude, stuck up, spoiled child because she had the opportunity to go out and expand her education, while Mama and Maggie continued to live their lives on the farm. On the other hand, if…

event. A writer uses them to help simplify complex emotions or ideas. Allusions make it easier for readers to understand the complex ideas by comparing it to the reference the writer used. This essay shows the use of the allusion “Cheshire cat” from “Alice in Wonderland” and how it helps to show the themes in “Fahrenheit 451”. I think the Cheshire cat helps to show, the theme that everyone is not really happy. They all have fake happiness for the parlor walls inside their homes. The Cheshire…

In Everyday Use by Alice Walker, we are introduced to Mama, an African American woman with “big bones and rough man working hands.” Mama acts as both the mother and father in the story, doing motherly acts such as seeing her daughter’s outfits, but also “working outside all day” and even “knocking a bull calf…

In the movie, Alice in Wonderland, the place that Alice goes to, Wonderland is not a real place. Wonderland is not a real place because of the following reasons: Alice sees things that could never happen in real life, Alice grows to impossible proportions at impossible speeds, and finally, Alice wakes up at the end. The first example that proves that Wonderland is not a real place is that Alice sees things that are either not real, or could never happen in real life. For example, throughout her…

Enough” by Alice Walker, mainly because I was able to understand most of what the poem was saying. The poem seems to be response to a protest of some kind maybe protesting for human rights or a better opportunity for work. This poem seems to fit current events going on around the nation dealing with officer involved shootings. The other reason I selected this poem is because Alice Walker also wrote the screenplay for the movie “The Color Purple” which was filmed in North Carolina. Alice…
