D.H. Lawrence is a curiously uneven writer. There is no novelist or short writer who shows more obvious signs of power and imagination in today’s literary world. One of his greatest gifts is his power of description; especially of natural description in active quick pros, unforced and vivid. His short stories are particularly forceful; they seem to contain so much on their rather limited scale; they seem to be overflowing with the essence of the author and they seem to leave the reader with the essence of expressionism of the author and they seem to leave the reader with an unrestrained curiosity to read a lot more even after the end comes; as if the ending was not sufficient. His stories display a kind of poetic symbolism and emotional rhythm …show more content…
Ted and Elsie could be best described an poetic distinctive terms as the energies - the “frictional, seething, resistant, explosive, blind sort and forest energy” – that of Ted’s still and softly powerful, tender, frail bud tips and fingers ends full of awareness and this lends to the two factors – “the dominating” and “the dominator”. The dominating theme is starkly seen here, the struggle between man and woman, between man and himself, to effect a balance that will make both sides richer more complete and self-fulfilled. The new relationship emerging will some sort of tenderness, sensitive and caring. This outer nutshell seems to be the essence, the core of the White Stocking”. Once again Lawrence manages to strike us as the master writer showing remarkable indictment of some of the false values of modern life: he refused to write of the main activities of the contemporary world. As Vernon Lee says, ”He sees more than a human being ought to see “wherever he looked he saw more than a human being ought to see; saw more and therefore loved and hated more“, whether it be “The White Stocking” with its theme as that of domestic inbalance, as of “The Fox” with the queer surroundings or “Odour of Chrysanthemum” Lawrence manages to come as of his motto “ART FOR MY SAKE” – he sure
For example, in his poem “A Sincere Man I Am,” Jose Marti utilizes imaginable metaphors, powerful symbols and relatable tones in order to communicate a theme of hope, pain and ambition on a connectable and

The three stories to be discussed in this essay are “The Bouquet” by Charles W. Chesnutt, “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and “Gimpel the Fool” by Isaac Bashevis Singer. It’s interesting to dissect these pieces of literature to see how they reflect the time period they were written in, by whom they were written, and if the stories they read have any abnormalities outside what is expected. So first up is “The Bouquet”; I sympathized mainly for the young girl named Sophie. Society’s faults stunted her growth as an individual, and kept her from bonding with those she desired relations.
Not all works carry those story-like qualities, but are structured as more of literary analyses presented by fluid writing. Through all of the words and subjects he writes
He was very different from the writers of his time. He liked to use third person in his writings to tell the story from an outside source who knew the thoughts of one or all the characters (Weisbrod 11). He tended to deal with the topics of wealth, youth, and beauty. He also used a great deal of symbolism throughout his books which would sometimes catch readers off guard. (Weisbrod 13).
Through these themes of the poems, they show what the minds and lives of those whose lives revolve around
Lawrence, is a short story about a boy named Paul. This young boy lived with his unhappy mother, along with the other family members. The mother had grown to be unhappy because she had married for love instead of money and in her eyes, she was now unlucky as a result of that decision because they didn’t have much money. However, they lived a lifestyle that would appear to others that they were wealthy, but truly they were not. The young boy, Paul, had asked his mother about luck and if she was lucky herself.
Going back to the anecdotes he used, they serve a very strong purpose in appealing to the audience. Every anecdote he list all depict something unfair happening to him or another person, for example he goes into a jewelry shop and the proprietor brought a dog to intimidate him which creates a sense of outrage and motivation in the audience. In a sense, because he appealed to their anger, he can convince them that his theme is valid and call them to action more effectively. His appeal to emotion occurs through his anecdotes too; furthermore, he said that he had to bury his relatives and friends creating sympathy and pity. This small part was off the topic of his central theme, but it nonetheless lightens the audience to take him easier, indirectly strengthening his message.
As I reading the excerpt, I was impressed by his wonderful writing skill and by how books influenced him like everybody who had read it. Two literary techniques that he used in the excerpt impressed the readers. He used
The main type of discourse in the text is description which relies on Tom’s senses. Tom uses many verbs of perception and link-verbs such as “Susan Lowenstein was already in her seat“, “I could hear”, “I had never seen”, “we listened”, “all colors seem”, “her skin was eggshell-lustered”. First of all the reader meets Susan’s description and gets immediately involved in the romantic atmosphere of the scene. This effect is achieved with the help of the repetition of the word “black”, with this colour making a contrast with “white shoulders” and other shadows of white (“eggshell”, “pale chinoiserie”). The contrast places emphasis on Susan’s outlook.
However, in his poetry “District and Circle, it allows him to study a worldful of wars, and to do so on his own terms”. The critic Tobias Hill, shows Heaney doesn’t shy away from violence. In stark contrast to Heaney’s
Within this short story, the author uses diction in the imagery to convey modernism throughout the story. Modernism uses imagery to convey the story to the readers so that the reader can receive a better understanding of the story. Through imagery, the
Jack London’s short stories are held in high regard to this day, and are still considered to show the true harshness of mother nature and the ignorance of man. London himself knows all too well the unforgiving vexation of the Klondike Gold Rush, having developed scurvy and an injury that permanently affected the use of his leg. His stories are also influenced by the literary movement of naturalism, which focuses on extreme conditions that shape human mentality. London’s usual writing style consists of very long, drawn out descriptions of the characters or the scene around these characters. A large sum of his stories focus on the instincts of animals and the questionable survival of man in extreme conditions and situations.
An author has the freedom to create their own worlds. Some are realistic worlds with a dark twist, others are just complete nonsense. What if the world of an author came to life? Specifically, how would the World of Edgar Allen Poe be? Most of Edgar Allen Poe’s stories have a similar theme.
James Joyce’s Ulysses is widely recognised and celebrated as being one of the most influential works of literature, and was previously described as “a demonstration and summation of the entire [modernist] movement” by Beebe in 1971. Throughout the over 700 page “epic”, Joyce follows a day in the life of numerous Dubliners such as Stephen Dedalus (whom we may have first encountered in Joyce’s earlier novel; A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man), and advertising campaigner Leopold Bloom, along with many others. Due to the vast array of characters and their associated perspectives, we are subjected to Joyce’s infamous use of “interior monologue”, resulting in what undoubtedly becomes somewhat of a chaotic (and notoriously difficult to read)
