As has been noted, in fiction the relationship between the ordinary and the marvellous is represented through the narration of enigmatic situations and mysterious events. The marvellous is found in ordinary situations, as strolling around a city, and it is always shocking. We can also appreciate in a way the conflict between the two images juxtaposed as it is usual in poetic texts. One of the images would be the ordinary situation and the other would be the image of the enigmatic event. This juxtaposition of images will create the convulsive beauty of Breton. Furthermore, the relationship of the marvellous and the ordinary in poetry is, some would say, purest than in prose. Surrealist poets use two images that are in conflict with a hidden true relationship. Breton quotes Reverdy to explain this surprising beauty, “The more the relationship between the two juxtaposed …show more content…
Although the images represent ordinary objects, the relationship between them has no logic at all which creates the marvellous. In the third verse the poet writes, “a bouquet of naked rain”. In this example, the poet is using two ordinary images, first the bouquet and then the rain; however there is no logic relationship between them. In particular, poets used surrealist techniques as the automatic writing that creates this kind of images. Despite it seems to us at first look that there is not a true relationship between both images, there is actually a marvellous one. However, maybe not even the author is aware of it, since those images come from his subconscious mind; there is not an ultimate definition of the relationship. Maybe the interpretation of these two images deals with the representation of natural life, since a bouquet of naked rains remind me of the dynamic life of the nature that never stops, as the rain will be never hold by the

There was many uses of imagery to show that everything was perfect. Right off the bat, in the first paragraph, Steinbeck set the scene: “…but on the valley side the water is lined with trees — willows fresh and green with every spring, carrying in their lower leaf junctures the debris of the winter’s flooding…” (pg 1) The whole first two paragraphs were packed with descriptive imagery, making the setting peaceful and serene. This makes the reader interpret a fairytale type mood, as fairytales don’t always stay perfect, like they started.

What would humans do without the ability of memory? Memory is the ability to remember past experiences, and the power or process of recalling to mind previously learned facts, experiences, impressions, skills and habits. Without the ability to create a memory humans wouldn’t be able to do everyday activities because we wouldn’t be able to learn from other humans anymore. When someone returns to a place that has been visited before most humans begin to recollect the memories that were experienced in that certain place. Sometimes these memories bring them happiness while other times these memories can bring sadness.

Besides the author and the reader, there is the ‘I’ of the lyrical hero or of the fictitious storyteller and the ‘you’ or ‘thou’ of the alleged addressee of dramatic monologues, supplications and epistles. Empson said that: „The machinations of ambiguity are among the very roots of poetry”(Surdulescu, Stefanescu, 30). The ambiguous intellectual attitude deconstructs both the heroic commitement to a cause in tragedy and the didactic confinement to a class in comedy; its unstable allegiance permits Keats’s exemplary poet (the „camelion poet”, more of an ideal projection than a description of Keats actual practice) to derive equal delight conceiving a lago or an Imogen. This perplexing situation is achieved through a histrionic strategy of „showing how”, rather than „telling about it” (Stefanescu, 173 ).
