Taking Off Emily Dickinson's Clothes Analysis

The main places that are important and add to the story are Alaska because Chris died there and South Dakota because Chris worked there and met important characters there. The setting creates a natural and idyllic mood. The nature of the places Chris travels creates a feeling of wanderlust, yet anxiety because of what could happen. The opening scenes of Into the Wild are in third-person narration, which adds clarity to the story.

For example, Krakauer employs Ron Franz’s account of Chris and mentions how Franz “regards the world through wary blue eyes” because of Chris’ death (59). Franz’s account evokes emotion to demonstrate the indelible impression Chris has on those he meets. Krakauer loads his story with emotion to allow the readers to sympathize with Chris’ plight; thus, Krakauer’s emotions influence his writing which prevents his ability to remain objective. Moreover, the author recalls the “wrenching loneliness” of his own journey with the Devil’s Thumb in Alaska (151). Krakauer recounts the hardships of his journey to indicate Chris’ emotional state during his journey.

There are many differences that stood out in both the epic poem and movie. Such as, in the poem Beowulf tracks Grendel’s Mother down in a lake and commences fighting her in armor and with the sword. During the fight Beowulf’s sword breaks, and Grendel’s Mother tries to stab him, but Beowulf’s

In “Half-Walls Between Us,” and “Body Farm” both Greg Smith and Maria Said, the authors,  of the two stories write vivid descriptions to describe their surroundings and events.

Tim O’Brien in the short story, “The Things They Carried” used constant repetition in the story to communicate important literary themes to his readers. His narrative technique of repetition may have been interpreted to some readers as redundancy or rather strange obsession but this technique one believes is a technique he uses to show the reader how the soldiers or characters experiences the events in their mind through their memories as it was happening-which was sometimes constantly. Such example is the event of death throughout his short story. O’Brien repeatedly recounts the death of Kiowa and Lavender to the reader, each time adding and elaborating on the death in detail. The significance of Kiowa’s death is that is seems to be the pinnacle or center piece of the story to which the characters’s develop and most of the action of the story surrounds itself.

Pilate’s continual singing helps to foster Milkman’s growth in discovering his ancestry as well as learn about his mistreatment of people, especially women. The Sugarman song that Pilate frequently sang appears again to reveal Milkman’s ancestry to him. As the children sang a slightly different version of the song, “singing ‘Solomon don’t leave me’ instead of ‘Sugarman,’” Milkman began to piece together how the song was dealing directly with his ancestors.

Instead of starting at the beginning of his life, she begins at the end and allows him to tell his own story. Walton remarks to his sister that he found the man drifting on a sledge on a slab of ice, "nearly frozen…and deadly emaciated by fatigue and suffering" (15). By introducing him in this way, Shelley catches the reader’s interest from the start, causing them to wonder what brought this man to the arctic in such a condition. After Frankenstein catches Walton up on the events that brought him thus far, Walton provides Shelley a way to tell the end of the story as well. Because Shelley wrote these portions as letters, they remain separate from the rest of the narrative, making the switch between Walton and Frankenstein less awkward and opening the door to develop her story and characters in a

It’s difficult to understand others if you don’t know what they go through every day. In “Boy at the Window” the author, Richard Wilbur, uses point of view and connotation to develop his poem. Wilbur uses point of view to show the differences between the snowman’s and the boy’s thought processes, and he uses connotation to make an impact on the readers. The different point of views in the poem are crucial. The speaker uses the point of view of the boy in the first stanza, and the point of view of the snowman in the second stanza.

From the perspective of psychology, Rich’s poem offers psychiatrists, literary critics and philosophers insight into the great contradictions female roles have; in many ways it is an anthem for self-understanding and coming to terms with the realities of life, especially as the reader witnesses the “young deer in meadows,” which symbolizes innocence, vs. “the triggers fingered by drunken gunmen” who will slaughter them. “Since Rich penned the poem more than thirty-five years ago, it has captured the imagination of academics, students, literary critics, and lovers of poetry all around the world” (Maddux 9). To validate that statement, Rich constantly raises inportant, difficult questions about cultural uses of poetry and the ideology of poetic and critical tradition (Davidson 306). The poem begins with the narrator describing a road trip she has taken through the countryside, “This August evening I’ve been driving / over backroads fringed with queen anne’s lace” (Rich, 1388).

He uses great hyperboles and imagery to help his readers imagine that they are there with him. His imagery draws the readers in and gets them attached to the article and maybe even the wildlife.
