At first glance, the opening scene to Margaret Laurence's A Bird in the House provides descriptive insight into the home Vanessa will view as her safe haven. However, through analysis of Laurence’s use of imagery, symbolism, and foreshadowing, the Brick House is not as impenetrable of a shelter as it had been known to represent. The Brick House is, in itself, full of underlying meaning. The family members are the only ones to call it that, to the rest of the town it is known as “the old Connor place”

Irony adds drama to the story and engages the reader. There are three specific examples of situational irony in There Will Come Soft Rains: The house continues to perform its daily tasks even though no one lives there, the house is destroyed by a tree branch that starts a fire yet it survived a nuclear fallout, and Mrs. McClellan’s favorite poem describes the situation in the story. The first example of situational irony can be seen in the fact that the house continues to do its everyday tasks even though

It is the rare tree that grows in the poorest of the neighborhoods and survives despite the lack of love it receives. It is the small, run-down library with the librarian who never notices the children who come in everyday. It is the horse that children love to steal a glance at because of its shining brown mane and tail. It is the weekly trip to the junkie where all the kids collect rags, paper, metal, and other junk they find in their apartment or street. It is these small collection of memories

night, Gene and Finny are pulled from bed by a group of several other boys from Devon and are questioned about what really happened before Finny fell out of the tree. Even Leper is questioned. When Leper begins to say that Gene purposely shook the branch, Finny stands up and shouts about how he doesn’t care either way, before running away, falling down the stairs, and breaking his leg a second time. Later, Gene sneaks into the infirmary where Finny is staying but he is absolutely furious, and makes

In the book “The Giving Tree”, the tree gave all she could to the boy she loved very much. I believe “Be the Tree” means that Seth would have wanted to be like the tree to everyone receiving the scholarship. He would want to be like the giving tree, which he is in a special way. To me, Being the tree is the scholarship recipient. I have read where Seth was a very Christian person, who wanted everyone to know Christ. I think that is also apart of being the tree, learning and teaching people about

Oz Porter stared down the thickly wooded slope, his gaze fixed on the endless panorama of green. Trees, swaying in the slight breeze. The place had a definite odor, the sweet freshness of pine. He breathed it all in, savoring the familiar tang, the underlying musty aroma of undergrowth and leaf mold. Slowly disintegrating into mulch that would carpet the forest floor and nurture the new growth. He called this place home. It wasn’t home. Home was the small town of Copperville, but they’d been forced

“Scrap Scrap” said the tree as I was climbing up it. This was a big jungle tree about the size of a skyscraper. It grew tall it had slippery green moss on the side and had long branches the size of a huge limo, but I don’t know what that is because I have never seen one. I have lived in the jungle all of my life with just a van and a little bit of gas left in it, in the middle of nowhere and I can’t do anything about it. When I was little my parents had got divorced and I had to go to an orphanage

Innocence Lost but Character Same Sarah Jewett’s “A White Heron” is a brilliant story with many symbols. The protagonist, Sylvia, is a young girl who is at home in the woods. One day a stranger asks for lodging, and Sylvia’s view of life was expanded.

The specific images of the natural setting, the season and time of day, and hunting weapons all contribute

threw the rock. There was nobody there. So I picked up the rock and cleaned the blood off of it with my blue jacket sleeve. But there was one stain that would not come off, no matter how much I tried I could not remove it. I even picked up a broken branch and tried to scrape the blood off, but it did not budge. But as looked back I saw this wonderful house, which was just built and as there was nobody there I decided to walk in and try and find a bathroom to clean the damage done by the stone. I decided

An Outcast’s Forest Everett Mamor once said, “We can learn a lot from trees: they're always grounded, but never stop reaching heavenward”(Mamor). In literature, trees can show many things, such as growth, change, and life. In the novel Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, trees are used to represent the main character Melinda and her struggles. Melinda is an outcast at school, shunned by her peers for calling the police on a party where she was raped. She is almost invisible at home, where her family

LOST AND FOUND I'm running, puffing, slowly feeling a sharp pain in my stomach. It’s a stitch. I hate stitches. Whenever I run around the block with Phillip I always get a stitch, he tells me it is never an excuse to lose, this time I won't lose, I’ll beat him. I'm Jedda. I love to go outside and play with my mates, one of which is Phillip. He’s a bit chubbier than I am, plus he is very small, probably around 5’3. I’m only a couple inches bigger but at least I’m skinnier. We always take the
