The use of symbolism in Betty Keller’s play Tea Party is prominently focused on how isolated the characters Hester and Alma feel. The two elderly women in their late seventies do everything they can possibly think of to prepare themselves and their home for the boy who delivers their paper. The poor lonely women decide where it will be best for them and the boy to sit and discuss what topics they wish to converse with the boy. Meanwhile, they are also preparing a tea trolley with snacks and drinks to entice the boy to stay longer. Furthermore, the sisters even plot to have the boy return to bring them change for their payment. Everything they are doing to prepare for the boys’ visit revolves around how isolated the two women are, and how much they yearn for the company of another person. One of the first uses of symbolism in the play is when the sisters are preparing for the boy to come into their home. At the opening, the sisters are discussing where each of them and the boy will sit while he is there. The two elderly women debate the best seat for the boy while facing the challenge of each wanting the boy to be near her but also keeping him farther from the door.

This exchange shows how each of them wants to soak up as much attention as they can possibly get from the boy. The ladies place a great deal of importance on how close they each are to the boy. These…

This idea of pictures to help support book is shown very well in Chris Hedges and Joe Sacco’s book Days of Destruction…

the sound foundation for “The fine art of sighing”. By definition according to Merriam Webster Dictionary, sighing is “to take a deep audible breath (as in weariness or relief)” however through the depth of Cooper 's writing we find that sighing is a passage to many other emotions and avenues(“sigh”). Although not clearly evident at the surface of his piece, the writing style of “the fine art of sighing” suggest Bernard Cooper himself finds sighing to be a blockade in relationships and trivial…

Crutcher builds his argument throughout his article by including the use of personal anecdotes, pathos, and repetition. Due to the fact that Crutcher includes the use of…
