  • An Leukon Analysis

    778 Words  | 4 Pages

    Due to the paratactic sentence structure, it is difficult to understand the connection between the imperative and the declarative clause. Roses symbolise love, beauty or youth and their ephemerality. Perhaps the speaker asks the addressee, Leucon, to pick them while they still bloom, to enjoy them while they last. This interpretation would be coherent with the truism of the second verse, the warning that tomorrow is not today. The speaker then advises the addressee more directly to seize the moment as time is fleeting.

Overtime, the segregation caused many Chinese to be silenced, fearing for their lives. Maracle chooses to dedicate the poem to Sky Lee and Jim Wong-Chu to show gratitude for the developments they have made towards encouraging the Chinese community to speak out against

  • Change In Williams Faulkner's A Rose For Emily

    1252 Words  | 6 Pages

    In Williams Faulkner 's ‘A Rose for Emily’, a local narrator provides a very personally nuanced and chronologically disjoined narrative. Through this lens Faulkner uses the imagery and symbols of the Grierson home, Emily as a monument, Homer’s body, in “A Rose for Emily” to convey the theme of change vs. decay, especially as it relates to the American South and its traditions. Although he describes particular individuals within Jefferson (Miss Emily, the older men and ladies, the town leaders), he seems to be using them as symbols for the larger issues that the South was facing at the turn of the twentieth century. This paper discusses how Faulkner uses imagery and metaphor to highlight on the necessity of adaptation in changing times. This
