I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be.” Through the use of figurative language, Salinger highlights Caulfield seeing himself as protector of the children which is a metaphor of him protecting the children from losing their innocence, this metaphor emphasises Caulfield’s obsession of keeping the younger children ‘pure’ and positions the reader to feel positive of…

Mythology is the study of myths and can be a collection of myths, religion is what people believe in and it can be a collection of beliefs. Mythology and religion intersect because they both have beliefs and they have stories that are followed by Gods, heroes and so on. With the myths and religions it makes people cope with loss and death a little easier, not that either is ever a good thing but with the thought of seeing your loved one again someday when you go to heaven or to know that they…

His relationship with George Wilson, the husband of Tom’s lover Myrtle, most poignantly expresses this cruelty with Tom putting off selling his car to Wilson until “next week”. This gives Tom power over Wilson. Tom is also aggressive and ‘power-consumed’ in his relationship with his lover Myrtle. At his and Myrtle’s party in their New York apartment, (an ostentatious show of Tom’s wealth), Tom responds to Myrtle’s taunts by “[breaking] her nose with his open hand” (p.39). He emerges from the…

believing in something different is immoral. This is what life was like for a young girl named Liesel during the times of the Holocaust in the children’s novel I chose to read. Liesel was taken from her parents, because they were communists, and given to Hans and Rosa Hubermann. Times were different for her as a young child during these…

Few novelists have displayed such fervor for portraying the human condition as Virginia Woolf. Jacob’s Room, her 1922 Modernist novel, encapsulates her passion. As Woolf’s first truly experimental novel, it rejects convention and aspires to invent methods that better illuminate life’s essence; to exemplify, the text’s innovative inclusion of leitmotifs defies tradition, yet it elucidates the obscure. The novel’s leitmotifs, ostensibly interspersed randomly, demonstrate identity’s fluidity and…

We live in a world that is diverse and around people that have issues whether it is mental physical or spiritual. In addition with people that suffered from abuse, domestic violence, and etc. I remeber in high school when my teacher was showing my class a video on the ending results of gun violence and crime at that time my cousin had just passed away and it brought back terrible flashbacks in my mind. Unfortunately I was not warned about what was going to be shown and it did have an negative…

In fact she describes meticulously and carefully what surrounds her, emphasizing the details that help strengthen her essay's authenticity and ensure that she successfully conveys her message. Personally I've been really impressed by the description of the moment just after the rainstorm. In only one paragraph the writer expressed all five senses from the herd of the birds to scents of the fruit, wet bark, the damp odor of chimpanzee hair and so on. Through her descriptive writing the view of…
