Reading of William Faulkner “A Rose for Emily” William Faulkner’s “A rose for Emily” story is a very fascinating one. In “A rose for Emily” Faulkner tells the story of a lady who has been through a whole lot of drama in her life. Faulkner’s choice of imagery sets a very clear tone for the main motif of the story which is death. Everyone would see a rose as a mere flower or a sign of love and beauty but in this case we see the rose representing Emily a lovable and beautiful lady who…

Three varying authors from the 1800-time period write entirely diverse novels, with two of the authors even sisters. Jane Austen’s “Emma”, Charlotte Bronte’s “Jane Eyre”, and Emily Bronte’s “Wuthering Heights” have varying characters and contrasting conflicts; yet, there are many similarities among the chapter one novels. Every novel has characters, relationships, and conflicts that entice the reader to keep turning the page. This is best acquired by presenting major character conflicting…

Well..she was obviously pink, I already said that, and she was wearing a Pink headpiece. She looked like the Pink Panther in a race. Talking about cats.. She was with…

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…

The speaker's initial feelings towards poetry was distasteful. Mrs. Moore, starts off her poem with "I, too, dislike it" (Line 1) after this reading this section of the poem, you may assume she dislikes poetry, but, if you continue to read the rest of the quotation she carries on to say "there are things that are important beyond this fiddle". (Line 1). It's clear to see her first reaction to poetry has changed from disliking to all poetry, to her understanding the true meaning behind the poetry…

Do you have what it takes to tell the truth? The two essays "Like the Sun" by R.K. Narayan and " Tell all the truth, but tell it slant" by Emily Dickinson both tell the readers to tell the truth. Although both essays have the same message I believe that Emily Dickinson's poem had a better way of telling the truth. Emily Dickinson tells the reader to tell all the truth but to tell it slant. Anyone who tells the whole truth understands that there are always consequences. In "Like the Sun" the…

Even though Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman writing pieces are very similar they also have differentiations. Walt Whitman grew up in West Hills, New York. He then moved to New York City when he was older and worked as a journalist, teacher and was also a government clerk.

One of his first writing pieces that started out his fame and recognition was “Leaves Of Grass”.…

Evils are not caused by God; rather, that they are a part of the nature, things happen in cycles, what is happening now has happened before and will happen again. In her poem “Apparently with no surprise” Emily Dickinson writes about the attitude of nature and demonstrates the nature’s cycle of life and death. The poem begins as the frost chops off the head of a happy and blossoming flower. She is not surprised with this happening because it is reenacted in the winter every year. The sun…
