The use of language is a powerful tool used by authors to provide complexity and a deeper level of thinking for the audience. Authors such as Shakespeare and Tim O’ Brien use immense language that provides the deeper meaning for the reader. The use of imagery and symbolism in the novel The Things They Carried significantly impacts the reader’s emotions about the Vietnam War. Other language is seen through George Orwell’s Animal Farm, which uses symbolism to relate the novel back to the history of Stalin and the Russian Revolution of 1917. Through the use of powerful language, authors are able to influence the actions and ideas in a society.…

Seuss shows how a character rebels in harsh conditions. In the middle of the story, Mack, a turtle, tried to rebel because of how badly all of the turtles are being treated. “But down at the bottom, we, too, should have rights. We turtles can’t stand it. Our shells will all crack! Besides, we need food. We are starving!” groaned Mack (Suess # 14). Mack is facing truly harsh conditions being at the bottom of a heavy tower, but even if all of that is there, it didn’t stop him from voicing his opinion. Showing perseverance through all of that time takes strength and courage to additionally voice his…
"No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its avatar and its seal- the redness and the horror of blood" (1). Edgar Allan Poe was a master of the macabre; his very stories injecting fear into the hearts of his readers. Poe's life was filled with tragedy, as several of the important women in his life, including his wife and daughter died at a young age. He utilized poems and books to express that tragedy. The short stories, "The Black Cat," and, "The Masque of the Red Death," both written by Poe, enhance the theme of fear. "The Black Cat," was about a narrator who had gone crazy and was so overcome by guilt that he went to extreme measures including…

Seuss Analyzed for Political, Social Effects” By Tom Jacobs. Tom goes on to talk about how we all know Seuss for his cartoons and his crazy words there is also something that he writes about and that being social and political ideas that are covered up by his rhyming and his colorful pictures and words. One great example is Seuss’s first children book and to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street where a father tells his son to stop having an imagination and to grow up the father tells his son “Stop telling such outlandish tales. Stop turning minnows into whales.” What the father is telling his son to do is to stop thinking everything is easily changed and to stop having such an imagination. This conflict is an example of social issues at home where a father might tell his son to grow up already and stop acting so young and act older, which can result in a fight in the family between father and son and drive them apart from each other like they are living in two completely different worlds.…
The human mind is difficult to understand as every human possesses his/her own individual thought rituals at different levels of complexities. From a psychological approach the point(s) to get across are to reveal the revelation of its author’s mind and personality. In other words, how the literature is linked with the author’s mental and emotional characteristics. Today, psychology has been introduced in most everything. Before the field of Psychology was introduced an American author, Edgar Allan Poe, was deeply aware of the complexities of the human mind and its effects on behavior. His comprehension of the human brain is embedded in short stories such as, “The Black Cat” and “The Cask of Amontillado.” Edgar Allan Poe presents protagonists…
In Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, the protagonists, George and Lennie have an ambitious dream that never comes true. Of Mice and Men was written through inspiration from a poem about dreams and how they often go awry. Steinbeck used the elements of that poem to make a detailed novella about the danger of setting one’s mind to one dream without any backup plan. Throughout the novella, Steinbeck attempts to tell readers that the American Dream is almost impossible to achieve and it is not worth setting one’s mind solely to that dream as people will discourage one and it will likely fall apart.…
The book I chose to read was “The Banker’s New Clothes” by Anat Admati and Martin Hellwig. There are a number of reasons I selected this book. Firstly, I selected this particular book due to my own interest in the reasons behind the financial crisis and also to gain more of an insight into the background of the banking system and its policies. The reviews I had read on this book were extremely thought provoking and even at a first glance, the cover picture of the book I thought was metaphorically bizarre and I wanted a greater insight into it. After I read the abstract at the back of the book I was able to get a feel for what the book would be about and I could also see the many nominations this book had, meaning it had to be of interest to…
Anyone involved in language teaching will know that “pleasure for its own sake” (Richards, 1969) has been an important element of language learning no matter of the level of language proficiency. In this paper we will focus our attention to young learners of English as a foreign language at the pre-school and early primary school level. Our main concern will be directed towards such qualities of teaching materials which bring enjoyment into the classroom through pleasant sensory images, beautiful words, and subtle descriptions. To enter the children’s world of expectations, ideals, visions and images, one must enter the world of song, play and dance, the world of rhymes and games, the world of bright-colored books with beautiful illustrations full of surprising, mysterious and fantastic elements interwoven with the elements of everyday life. We need language sources that will help develop children’s imagination through rhymes, laughter and happiness. We also need the narrative side of the story which stands beyond any rhyme only if we, teachers, know how to get the story out of a rhyme. Stories are necessary because they satisfy a child’s curiosity about what is and what appears to be. Children tend to seek a story in any rhyme or a game played with rhymes. There is an incredible urge to imagine the things, to sense the imagination, to act according to the imagination. “Don’t tell me of a man’s being able to talk sense. Can he talk nonsense?”(William Pitt). Children need stories with characters created by the imagination where fantasy and magic intermingle. They want to dramatize, illustrate, play with puppets and tell stories their way, followed by the desire arising from their imagination and dreams. They must be emotionally attached to the characters of the story in order to become co-actors in the dream-like setting.…
