The words sank and rose are juxtapositions of one another, showing that one of the keys was higher and the other is lower. By using juxtaposition as a literary device, Conrad used it to create…

the rise of printed books and stagnant growth of ebooks, the fields for both books and ebooks’ capitals remain the same as it always have been, “A field is a structured space of social position which can be occupied by agents and organizations, and in which the position of any agent or organization depends on the type and quantity of resources or ‘capital’ they have at their disposal.” (Thompson 3-4).

The narrator recognizes the world through her personal and emotional experiences and her relationship with Emil, who is Kelaris’s new neighbor who shows some shared interests with her. This…

easily tied back to something as simple as "where do we come from?" That is not to say that we are exactly who are ancestors were, but the quote is expanded upon on page 8, when it is explained that "each group of peoples was of course the product and agent of its own history." In other words, where we are headed as a people is in direct relation to where we've been. So in order to look forward, we should all…
