My Antonia Quotes And Analysis Essay
Passage | Interpretation | Page # | “My husband’s not home, sir. Can I do anything?” -Antonia | Ántonia doesn’t recognize Jim. He has changed due to the business life and wondering away from his home, even though he wanted to keep things the same. Ántonia on the other hand did changed and grow, just like the land she lives on. It shows almost an Irony (diction trope) because he leaves Antonia saying he’ll return and she anticipates it, yet she’s the one that forgets him. | 214 | “You ought to see the bread we bake on Wednesdays and Saturdays! It’s no wonder their poor papa can’t get rich, he has to buy so much sugar for us to preserve will. We have our own wheat ground for flour- but then there’s that much less to sell.” -Antonia | Antonia

    Catherine Opie’s Joanne, Betsy, & Olivia best represents “quoting” documentation. Catherine specializes in documentary photography and explores aspects such as domestic everyday activities. Her methods of documenting certain moments in real life situations directly reflect quoting. In this photograph, it is almost like the audience is catching a glimpse of this families day to day lives. The house is messy with the toddlers toys everywhere and it looks as if they just finished a meal. These people are not posing or being staged, they are simply doing what they would normally be doing. Catherine also is very involved in the Lesbian and Gay communities so much of her work involves identity, challenging gender roles and social and political themes.…

    Ta-Nehisi Coates Quote Analysis

    Ta-Nehisi Coates poses an inquisition about how Whites haven't made the past right. Coates states simply that Whites never truely made it up to the Blacks for slavery. The Whites had just said, "we meant well" and moved on. Coates brings this up by comparing the Whites "good intentions" to a sleeping pill. The idea of "good intention" is seen throughout history, not just American but worldwide. But how could one apologize for the past and make it right with those wronged? It's near impossible question to answer. Because how does one apologize for something that is like slavery?…

    Tuesdays With Morrie Aphorism Essay

    At the time of this aphorism’s composition, Morrie was more optimistic than ever, despite his affliction with ALS slowly crippling him. Morrie used his condition of being close to death to formulate small philosophies of life, this aphorism was one of them. I selected this aphorism because it illustrates how although most people emit an aura of normalcy around them, they struggle with their personal internal conflicts, battling with themselves wondering why they made this or that choice or all the opportunities they missed. The hourglass demonstrates acceptance and consideration of the past, with its falling sands…

    The Stranger Quotes And Analysis Essay

    In Albert Camus’ “The Stranger” the “story of an ordinary man who gets drawn into a senseless murder” is told. Taking place in Algeria this man, Meursault, is constantly in a climate of extreme warmth, as are all the inhabitants therein. The sun, the source of light and the cause of this warmth, is thus a vital and normal part of his life. It brings warmth and comfort yet it can also cause pain and sickness. Throughout most of his life Meursault has lived with the conflicting forces of the sun and light, as a friend and foe. However in Chapter 6 these forces become unbalanced and the sun becomes an aggressor causing Meurault physical pain and jolting him into violent action.…

    Eliza Wharton Literary Analysis Essay

    Eliza Wharton is a very bright and independent woman who cares deeply for a man named Mr. Haly. She expresses her independence in her first letter as she says “[I] feel a gleam of joy at leaving her?”(818). Miss Wharton is a very outgoing and flamboyant woman who seems to write based on her feelings in those moments. Much how someone would write in their diaries to express the emotions that they cannot show others. Miss Wharton feels those urges and so she writes “I must write to you the impulses of my mind; or I must not write at all” (820). Based on this we can see that she may have been a little rebellious while going through her life.…

    Lady Macbeth Analysis

    Shakespeare creates a facade when he coats Lady Macbeth with feelings of love and compassion for her husband Macbeth. However, when Lady Macbeth finds out the witches prophesied Macbeth was to become king she immediately thought of ways she could achieve her ambition, committing the sinful act of killing King Duncan was the first to come to mind. Lady Macbeth challenges Macbeths manly hood by stating “It is too full o' th' milk of human kindness” The noun “milk”, a word of purity and motherly love is used to describe how she thinks Macbeth is too soft hearted and cowardly to kill King Duncan, she bullies Macbeth into going along with the plan. Lady Macbeth knew that Macbeth was a warrior and has killed before so she tries to unleash that inner…

    Othello Quote Analysis

    I was startled by how by Iago’s manipulative nature revealed itself in the first few lines of the play. Shakespeare uses this somewhat backwards introduction to illustrate Iago’s character and the significant role he will play in the attempt to ruin Othello’s seemingly perfect life. It was shocking to discover Iago’s duplicitous intentions and livid attitude so early in the play, but it gave us perspective on the one-sided conflict between him and Othello. As the play continues, his deceptive nature reveals itself, for example, when he pretends to be the good guy relaying the information that Brabantio’s perfect daughter is having dirty intercourse…
