Text Analysis
The Lumber Room

The text under analysis is written by the famous British novelist and short story writer Hector Munro. The story is narrated in the 3rd person. The main character is the extract is orphan Nicholas, who lives with his aunt and his cousins. The style of writing is satirical in a humorous way.
The scene is laid in house of Nicholas’s aunt. In this day he is in disgrace, because he misbehaves at the breakfast. His cousins and his younger brother are to be taken to Jagborough Cove but Nicholas stays at home as a punishment. When Nicholas and his aunt return home and his aunt forbids him go into gooseberry garden. But he does not admit with her words. Later he pretends to creep (up) to the garden. Though he does not think to there, he wants only to draw away aunt`s attention. In fact, he is going to make his way into the lumber-room. He finds the key and opens the door. There many different beautiful things like as a large square book full of coloured pictures of birds, a piece of tapestry which attracts his attention. This tapestry is pictured the scene of hunt. Soon he hears the voice his aunt who notices his long disappearance. His aunt tried to look for the boy and slipped into the rain-water tank. She asked Nicholas to fetch her ladder but the boy pretended not to understand her, he said that she was the Evil One.
The text can be divided into four logical parts: Nicholas`s punishment and a sudden trip to Jagborough sands; an unknown land; an accident with the aunt; evening in full silent.
The text is written in the rather expressive tone which creates comic, satiric and ironical. And the author uses a large variety of stylistic devices, such as epithets: “grim chuckle, alleged frog, unknown land, stale delight, mere material pleasure, bare and cheerless, thickly growing vegetation; frivolous ground, considerable obstinacy”. They help the author to emphasize a deep dissension between generations.
There are a lot

    All actions have consequences. Sometimes one does not have to participate in the action, but only be related, and the crime committed can have serious consequences for everyone. The consequence, or lack of consequence, is determined by one’s upbringing. This is clearly the case present in Robertston Davies’ Fifth Business. Although Boy committed the crime, Dunstan feels a profound sense of guilt about the snowball incident. On the other hand, Boy obliterates his guilt. Guilt and lack of guilt can clearly be seen through character’s lives, relationships and philosophies.…

    I thought of Bess and the Highwayman, how they acted, how they looked at each other. Should I have done this? I shook my head. Of course I should have. I deserve this. Do I? As I made my way into the stables, Redcoats glided into the inn. I thought nothing of it. As I heard them drinking ale, full of joy, their shadows slowly drifted across the wall and disappeared into….. Bess’s room. A speck of doubt fluttered through my mind, but went away just as I heard the sound of a struggle, a musket loaded, and footsteps becoming louder. Out the Redcoats strutted, happy as they went in. Time passed as moonlight came. The figure of a man on a horse came into view, the Highwayman. Just as the Redcoats readied their guns, a shot echoed through the fields. It was not the Redcoats. My gut churned as I got a horrible feeling. Suddenly, it was like time reversed as the dark figure started to disappear. The next morning the landlord announced Bess’s…

    Ironic Symbolism is used to define the conflicts within “The Flea” by John Donne and “The Unknown Citizen” by W.H Auden by having a significant object, which is a flea and a monument, which represent a conflict that is portrayed throughout the poem. The flea represents three different arguments that are introduced in each stanza based on sex and the morals behind it. The monument in the “Unknown Citizen”, symbolizes the model citizen only based on statistics and not the true identity of the human such as their personality. Both these authors create a compelling conflict with arguments and evidence which can be portrayed through the ironic symbolism of the flea as well as the monument.…

    “The Two Brother” is a poem which uses natural speech rhythms, tone and informal language is used to create an understanding with the reader. Reader is shown the brother’s cruelty but is also shown their brittleness and insecurity. The brothers’ cruelty is connected with their gender. This is shown in line 3-5 which says, “Had shown me themselves, grinning queerly as when they’d shown me lizards they’d killed, or sparrows they’d slowly bled with a needle.” These lines show vivid and disturbing images of boys’ violence, this is then enhanced by alliteration of the word ‘S’ in “sparrows they’d slowly bled.” In the lines, “shown me themselves” implies that such violence is a characteristic of being a male in our society. This idea of cruelty being a part of male’s characteristic in our society is shown again in line 13 which says, “Would dare each other any taste, any soft clot, any ugly act.” This line tells the reader that the brother’s would do anything and challenge each other for dominance which also implies that these characteristics of challenging each other for dominance is a part of a male’s life. In the last stanza the reader is given the idea that the brothers haven’t achieved anything and that the reader should feel pity for the brothers rather than looking at them as wrong, heartless human beings. This is shown by persona saying “Touched themselves through the emptiness of their pockets, scared they’d find the prize of nothing.” This quote evokes sympathy for the brothers through the word choice “emptiness” and “prize of nothing”.…

    The text under analysis is a story written by O’Henry. His real name is William Sidney Porter and O. Henry is his pen name. O. Henry is an American short-story writer of the late 19th century. He is a representative of realism, who wrote about the life of ordinary people in New York City. Typical for O. Henry's stories is a twist of plot which turns on an ironic or coincidental [kəuˌɪn(t)sɪ'dent(ə)l] (випадковий) circumstance. Although some critics were not so enthusiastic about his work, the public loved and loves it. The plots of his stories are clever and interesting, and the end is always surprising. His works include ‘The Four Million’, ‘The Gift of the Magi’, ‘The Furnished Room’, ‘Shoes’, ‘The Last Leaf’ and so on. No matter how many times you read them they always give you the same feeling of freshness. So does the story ‘The Green Door’.…
