    Figurative Language In Marvel Noir

    The reason I chose “Marvell Noir” by Ann Lauinger is for the reason that it rhymed and also, because I understood what the poem was actually about, as it was written with literal meanings. To me, this poem takes place in the 1940s, due to Lauinger’s usage of language, words such as doll, highballs, rap, plus the title word noir. All of this causes me to think of an old 40s black and white film as well as the play Chicago. I am not an enormous fan of poetry or even a small fan, outside of Dr. Seuss, and therefore, I do not enjoy spending time reading between the lines to figure out what the true meaning of a poem is. Because of this, it was a triumph when I read “Marvell Noir” for the first time, because not only did I understand it, but…

    I Never Had It Made Figurative Language

    Both the text, “I never had it made” and the PBS review, Jackie Robinson: an inside look, have some similarities and differences. Both the excerpt and video mention how important the world series was to him, but even though that is one similarity, the excerpt talks about of people of such importance to him for example, Rachel, his wife, and Branch Rickey. PBS’ video talks more about Robinson’s private life or his life before baseball. Before he broke the color barrier, Jackie Robinson fought in the military for America. Even though the only war Jackie fought was against racism, Robinson did fight at Camp Hood in Texas.…

    Figurative Language In Ethan Frome

    Edith Wharton quite deliberately brings together human emotion and the environment in her novella Ethan Frome. The characters are circumscribed by the environment in which they exist and the impossibility of escape from the environmental forces of nature, heredity and place shape the characters of the text. A moment of hope arises as Mattie and Ethan walk home together from the dance and a more romantic sense of possibility emerges. The reader is drawn to the love of Ethan and Mattie quite subtly – it grows almost organically from innocent moments shared and this is perhaps why the reader does not see their ‘affair’ as adulterous. We share the hope that glimmers in the bleak cold that is Starkfield and its characters.…
