The Jungle by Upton Sinclair is a book that shows social darwinism.

The land is natural and fully grown in emphasizing that setting is integral to the rest of the story. Using setting as a strong foundation for the trajectory of the story, the author seeds the themes of Ignorance and neediness, but also love. A small path winds through this forest giving Ms. Phoenix Jackson a place
Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle in 1906 to encourage reform of the treatment of immigrants in Chicago. Due to its graphic descriptions of the meat packing plants, the novel brought reform in the food industry instead. The Pure Food and Drug Act required industries to label their food and to cease using chemicals and poisonous substances in their products. However, since the nineteenth century, the food industries have become worse with national monopolies and meat contaminated with e-coli, though they are still more sanitary because they must label their products.
In oil paintings of the Renaissance era, chiaroscuro was a technique that created a tonal contrast between light and darkness. The word itself is Italian for "light and shadow", it was commonly seen used by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Caravaggio. During most of Chapter 28 of To Kill a Mockingbird, Jem and Scout are surrounded by night darkness until they reach the light and security of their home. Harper Lee, effectively using chiaroscuro in his writing and imagery, creates a tense and suspenseful mood in his novel To Kill a Mockingbird.

There was undergrowth—a mat of brambles and bracken. There were no obvious paths. Dark and light came and went, inviting and mysterious, as the wind pushed clouds across the face of the sun.” (355) The "thing" in the story was symbolized as the terror
My first impression of Hecht’s poem was halfhearted. I didn’t quite grasp what her boldness was for, at first, she sounded almost envious of his creative poem. I read it like she was practically mocking him, as if Hecht is poking fun at Frost for his "perfect" depiction of traveling through the woods at night. I didn’t sense any respect the first time. It wasn’t until the tenth or so time I read it I finally grasped that she was elaborating on his silent views but through her intense feelings.
The Shining Path, led by Abimael Guzman, was a communist militant group, comprised of Mao Zedong followers, who were intent on dismantling the political regime in Peru throughout the 1980’s. Understanding the Maoist mentality of the Shining Path is essential in order to comprehend and recognize the reasoning for the Shining Path’s actions. Mao Zedong, a political leader in China in the twentieth century, believed that political revolution should stem from the peasant class. Abimael Guzman, upon seeing this method put into use internationally, thought it would be the most effective way to overthrow the elitist government of Peru at the time. The Shining Path, under the lead of Abimael Guzman, was able to start a national political, economic,
After viewing Moonlight, which was personally my favorite film of the year, I choose to analyze the scene when Blue takes Chiron to the ocean and teaches him to swim (17:20-19:30). This scene first drew my attention because of Blue’s character. The dynamic of a crack dealer with a heart-of-gold has this duality about it where my heart tells me to love him as a person, but my head tells me that this person is Chiron’s mother’s dealer, and I should despise him for it. Yet, when I watch this scene I can’t help but think of how much I love Blue as a character. He is able to fill in for the role of a father figure, and teach Chiron about life.
On of the greatest examples of imagery that Alice Walker uses is the one that compares light and darkness. At the beguining of the story the author mentions delicate and calm setting of a farm. In creating this imagery the reader is able to understand that all the positive and upbeat words are associated with the farm setting. Myop’s light-hearted innocence is also shown when “watching the tiny white bubbles disrupt the thin black scale”. The effective description provides credibility to the environment, and makes the later events all the more shocking,
Into The Woods The musical “Into the Woods” by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine is a metaphor for life in many ways, but the most prominent one is the woods symbolizing life itself. The prologue song “Into The Woods” is about each of the character’s dreams and wishes. Cinderella wishes to go to the festival, Little Red Riding Hood wants to deliver bread to Granny, and the Baker and his wife want to have a child, even though the witch cursed their lineage.
“I Was Sleeping Where the Black Oaks Move” written by Louise Erdrich focuses on a child and a grandfather horrifically observing a flood consuming their entire village and the surrounding trees, obliterating the nests of the herons that had lived there. In the future they remember back to the day when they started cleaning up after the flood, when they notice the herons without their habitat “dancing” in the sky. According to the poet’s biographical context, many of the poems the poet had wrote themselves were a metaphor. There could be many viable explanations and themes to this fascinating poem, and the main literary devices that constitute this poem are imagery, personification, and a metaphor.
