In Dawe’s Homecoming, his intelligent attempt to impart the representation of powerlessness through a bitter tone, ‘- Curly heads, kinky-hairs, crew-cuts…’ emphasising the loss of identity in the “returned…

Journeys are a key part of life, but arriving at the destination is not the part that matters, the journey itself is the key influential part of life. John Steinbeck and Robert Frost reflect this idea within their texts; Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men and Frost's 'The Road Not Taken' and 'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening'.

Sometimes a heavy crash and the lean-to shivers” (Remarque 94). A beautiful imagery surfaces in several scenes in the novel. In another instance Remarque describes the front as an animal cage when he says: “The front is a cage in which we must await fearfully whatever may happen” (101). In addition, Remarque uses…
