As the newswoman began to speak on the telescreen she was drowned out by an uproaring cheer outside. Throughout the diner you could hear triumphant phrases being shouted among comrades. One that stood out to Winston was, “Greatest victory in human history-victory, victory, victory!” Winston had not moved from the secluded corner seat. He wanted to shout, scream, dance and jump; instead he just sat there, immobile. Winston had changed for the better since his first day at the Ministry of Love, but he had never

1 - The most fascinating part of Dagoberto Gilb 's story Love in L.A. is the manner by which practical it truly is. By and large, romantic tales take after the conventional example of two outsiders meeting, beginning to look all starry eyed at and living joyfully a great many. Love in L.A in no way, shape or form takes after this example. Numerous genuine sentimental relations don 't take after this example either. Not following the example, in any case, does not preclude Love in L.A. from being a romantic tale. The article is still especially a romantic tale just with a curve. The majority of the story 's authenticity originates from its cliché characters. Rarely completes one really go over a nice looking, very much mannered man on a white

By Saturday afternoon, the eighty-seven residents of the rural southern town of Wrongberight have borne the wrath of four days of intense intermittent rainstorms and to add to their woes, another storm approaches the town from the northeast. One of the locals, Clemmy Sue Jarvis since birth has lived here and has a homespun philosophy concerning weather – ‘weather will be weather and she will do as she damn well pleases’.

Cautiously, she turns onto Flat Bottom Road and follows it south along the edge of the

This passage has been extracted from Act I Scene I of Tennessee Williams’ play, A Streetcar Named Desire. In this extraction, Blanche sees and interacts with her younger sister, Stella, for the first time in many years. Upon this reunification, Blanche is forced to take in the discrepancies between her fantasy expectation of what their reunion will be like and the reality of how her baby sister looks, acts, and lives. As Blanche dwells on how different the Dubois’ plantation Belle Reve is compared to Stella’s current social status and living conditions, Blanche’s unadulterated character is easily scrutinized. Williams utilizes diction and foreshadowing to depict the two sisters’ rather awkward reunion on the street of Elysian Fields.

Raymond Carver is said to be one the most influential American writers and poets in the 20th century, especially in his works of short stories. One of his most famous pieces is “Cathedral.” This well-known short story is the final piece in Carver’s collection Cathedral published in 1983. Carver includes much symbolism through the story’s plot, structure, point of view, tone, and character build. The depictions of each character’s experiences, the irony in the story, and hearing the narrator’s point of view in “Cathedral” work in harmony to support its themes that prejudice and ignorance as well as the nature of reality are present and change throughout the course of the story, and all lead to a strong character development by the close.
