Many books include single stories that create one sided worlds filled with stereotypes for their characters. Often the author uses the book as a progression from the characters believing the single stories and stereotypes whole-heartedly to when they learn to see that single stories often do not show the whole truth, are always one sided and to reject the stereotypes. A few examples of these books are Atonement, The Book Thief, Marked and To Kill A Mockingbird. Atonement follows Briony Tallis' life from the age of 10 onwards.
First off, Citizen Kane has an interesting interaction of still shots of a some type of castle, which is lead on to be creepy by the music in the background. The music creates a type of suspense or even a sense of curiosity. It sparks questions of to of why we are looking at this castle and slowly moving closer and closer. Music creates a build up until we see a body drop what looked like a snow globe or something, then it decrescendos to allow for the words to be mumbled out. In this intro if there were some type of cheery music going up to the caste it would not fit at all and would create an inaccurate idea of what may be about to happen or how the plot were to devolve in this movie.

When people are traumatized by an event they are pushed to experience the five stages of grief. The “Gospel”, by Philip Levine and “the boy detective loses love”, by Sam Sax both use characters that are going through one of the stages of grief. Levine and Sax both explain the thoughts and process of what a person thinks when they go through these stages with imagery. Levine uses symbolism, a sad tone, and a set setting in “Gospel” to illustrate that grieving takes you into a depth of thoughts. Sax uses anaphoras, an aggressive tone, and an ambiguous setting to convey that grieving takes you into a tunnel of anger and rage.
It is ironic and vague yet meaningful symbolism, when they describe how Carol wears a cross necklace. The necklace defines how Carol is a religious, calm, and a christian woman, yet Roy is attracted to her and vice versa. There two personalities contradict one another as Carol is one of goodness while Roy is rambunctious and his obvious sexual attraction through their affair. Their affair highlights the theme of evil desires and the reader is open to creating their own representation of Roy and how he really feels that “money over women”(Thompson 164)on his of list importance. The last piece of symbolism that Thompson reveals is the death of Moira even though the police allegedly think it was Moira who killed Lily.
In Scene 1, Marilla states that “She would never dream of taking in a girl!” When Marilla discovered that her brother, Matthew, had brought in a girl. Marilla originally return the girl in exchange for a boy. But later on in the act, she ends up developing a passion for Anne after she tells the story about how she ended up where she is now. I think Marilla develops a passion for the girl because she felt sorry for the girl.
By juxtaposing the ephemeral nature of the dandelion's existence with the enduring resilience of the human spirit, McClellan invites readers to contemplate the fragility of love and the inevitability of its
Throughout the entire first part of the book many powerful scenes took place, it was difficult to narrow it down to just one. But, I ultimately decided the most powerful scene, is undoubtedly, when the women choses to burn with her books, her life has been condemned as all that she loves and believes in is about to be destroyed when the firemen arrive. The old woman feels that if she lives after her books are burned, she will have betrayed all those whose works she has embraced. Therefore, she chooses to die along with the truths and philosophies she embraces. She held out a match inside the kerosene drenched home and after firemen ran out she lit the match, burning the house, along with all her books, down with her.
Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, while seemingly dissimilar, both share similar motifs centered around love. Both novels discuss the varied and nuanced effects of love on the human experience. Through their depictions of love and those in love, Their Eyes Were Watching God and The Scarlet Letter show that the immersive and self-sacrificing nature of love can cause it to serve as both a source of suffering and a source of happiness at the same time.
On the other hand, she highlights the contemplation and introspection of grief and loss, as well as her interest in exploring the complex interplay between life and death, nature, and humanity. “You left us emptied and startled, our arms full of flowers”. (Jolley). Annelise is lost in life because of the loss of her mother. On the one hand, the image of arms full of flowers suggests abundance and beauty, as if the author and her family were surrounded by all the glory of the natural world.
Although the couple may have not seen this as a big deal, it symbolizes the “broken” relationship that leads to an even more broken situation. This scene foreshadows that their argument will eventually end up hurting something or someone. Unfortunately, the flowerpot scene did foreshadow the end result of this
In The Great Gatsby, Baz Luhrman has reinvigorated the 1925 classic novel by introducing many modern filming technology such as lighting and colour; sound and music and editing. While Joe Wright has attempted to do the complete opposite by taking the modern novel, Atonement ,and attempting to recreate the harsh reality of the past by using the same filmic techniques as Baz Luhrman. However Joe Wright is more successful in recreating the past and showing the harsh realities of the era in Atonement. The lighting in The Great Gatsby tends to be theatrical and illuminates the characters by bringing the focus on them and not on the background.
Love is a feeling we all search for and desire. This need leads us to force this emotion at times when we may not truly feel it. Because of this, it is often difficult to tell if our love is genuine or out of necessity. In Ernest Hemingway’s novel, A Farewell to Arms, Frederic Henry and Catherine Barkley begin a complicated relationship during World War I. Amongst the pain and and loss of the war, it is unclear at times to understand if their love is authentic or purely a way for them to cope.
Robbie and Cecilia’s relationship is central to the novel Atonement. It is at first a slow burning one but it essentially becomes what the novel is centred around. Their interlude in the library is the moment they revisit consistently, Robbie whilst at war and Cecilia during her nursing. In the library the ‘words spoken aloud were like signatures on an unseen contract’.
