From Book One how does Hardy link the character of Eustacia Vye with the landscape of Edgon heath
From Book One how does Hardy link the character of Eustacia Vye with the landscape of Edgon heath? You should make reference of the appearance of both and what this tells the reader about the personality of Eustacia. The response should include a number of quotes to support your thoughts. I think that the first prominent feature of The Return of the Native is Hardy's description of the landscape. Egdon Heath is portrayed not simply as a surroundings to the action, but a actual character in itself, passionate, The Return of the Native it is frequently dark, dangerous, and wilful. It is appropriate that the book opens with a description of the heath, for the heath permeate the atmosphere of the novel, and it shapes the lives and attitudes of its residents. The characters themselves seem to act either as embodiments or outgrowths of the heath itself, as Eustacia Vye's physical appearance and volatile emotions suggest its willful wildness. Furthermore, Eustacia's physical activity is characterized by lengthy periods of indolence punctured by brief, spontaneous periods of energy, as the heath oscillates between periods of placid beauty and savage harshness. Hardy's description of Eustacia is especially telling: like the heath, her hair is wild and untamable ("to see her hair was to fancy that a whole winter did not contain darkness enough to form its shadow.") and her eyes are
Do You Have to Succeed to be Happy?
Austin Richardson Bradley - 1 09/19/00 English 2 Do You Have to Succeed to be Happy? Happiness and success are two of the most important things that people strive to achieve in life. There are a lot of good reasons why one is better than the other. The virtue that I believe to be more important is happiness. This could be supported by many ideas and comparisons. First, you do not need to succeed in order to be happy. Id you have a family and are happy, your life is good and worth living. On the other hand, many people who succeed end up not being happy and hurting or even killing themselves. They might also become furious and kill others. There is a story about a king who was wealthy and successful in what he was doing, but he was unhappy. He did not like anything that he was doing, and in doing so, he got involved in drugs and alcohol. He later committed suicide because of his depression and unhappiness. If you are happy, you will not need to succeed in order to have a good life to live. Happiness also means that you probably are successful in doing what you try to accomplish. In order to receive true happiness, you must love where you are and the people around you. In addition, you might also want to be successful but without happiness. Without happiness, success is worth absolutely nothing. Happiness will take you in many places and you will love it.
“A Christmas Carol Is Nothing More Than A Children’s Fairytale?” How Far Do You Agree With This Statement?
"A Christmas Carol Is Nothing More Than A Children's Fairytale?" How Far Do You Agree With This Statement? If one was to read Christmas Carol it can be arguably interpreted as having some characteristics of what a children's fairytale would contain. If one was to analyse what was a children's fairytale it would contain things such as; it being a short story, a happy ending, being set in a land of make believe, stereotype good versus evil approach, a simple plot, simple language, character caricatures, themes of the supernatural and the most important is that it would contain a morale. However if one was to interpret the Christmas Carol and start to analyse the varied language structures of metaphors, similes and imagery this novella becomes far from a simple fairytale but a stunning piece of literature. The Christmas Carol does have some elements of a fairytale such as a simple plot in which an old miser is visited by four supernatural beings and manages to change in the course of a night into a warm human being. The Christmas Carol is also arranged quite simply in the fact that for each visit by the Ghost represents a chapter. The Christmas Carol ends happily with Scrooge saying 'the spirits of all three shall strive within me', which shows a clear characteristic to a fairytale. The third phantom ghost who visits Scrooge is probably the most heavily caricatured character
Original Writing Poetry Heartache My life was happy with no pain at all,Not having any worries of the darkness that crawlsBeneath my shadow and dark secrets to come
Heartache My life was happy with no pain at all, Not having any worries of the darkness that crawls Beneath my shadow and dark secrets to come Is the cause of my feelings becoming so numb Then something had to destroy my happiness Now feeling so empty and eternally stressed Like being suffocated by my own mistakes And having to feel them is more than can take With each day ending in a hurtful flow Not knowing how long I have left to go Wondering when all this stress will decrease So I can once again live my life at ease Bur right now my emotions are swollen As though as each part of my heart has been stolen Thrown away to the gates of hell Where feelings of betrayal live and dwell Ill never forget the feelings of this pain Feelings as though as I have nothing to gain But in reality I'm afraid to let go Not wanting to live in bitterness and sorrow But life goes on and so will u Having no need for me to cry Ill get on with my life and not be stuck in the past Because life is short and I want to make It last.

Huck Finn: Oh, the Irony of Society!
Huck Finn: Oh, the Irony of Society! Satire is a subtle literary technique involving the criticism of human idiocy through scorn and biting irony. With a façade of crude bias and prejudice, satire's influence lies in the reader's capability of interpretation. Due to Mark Twain's constant application of racial aspersions, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn contains strong implications of an archetypal racist novel. However, with satirical insight and the shrewd application of realism and irony, the novel reveals itself to hold an opposing stance through its harsh ridicule of white society. Utilizing a sense of realism for the setting for his novel, Twain correctly portrays historical accuracy in the perspective of white society through the prejudice he presents. Twain attempts to instill a sense of authenticity in his readers while indistinctly instilling novel concepts that grow stronger and undeniable by the novel's conclusion. For example, when Aunt Sally hears of a steamboat explosion: "Good gracious! anybody hurt?" "No'm. Killed a nigger." "Well, that's lucky, because sometimes people get hurt, "(167). Almost laughable in its absurdity, this quote portrays whites in a callous light, revealing their disdain for black lives. Aunt Sally is a respected figure in white society, not an outcast like Pap or the King and the Duke. Yet her judgment is no better than Pap's
Discuss the presentation of Gatsby's character through Carraway's narrative perspective
Discuss the presentation of Gatsby's character through Carraway's Narrative Perspective In the novel The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald tells the story through the narrative perspective of Nick Carraway, a character within the novel who has a somewhat peripheral role in the story. The effect of this is that the reader learns about Gatsby's character through the eyes of Carraway, thereby revealing information about Gatsby gradually; the effect of this is to keep the reader interested in finding out more about Gatsby; were the reader to find out his past at the beginning of the novel, part of the character's appeal would be ruined: his mystery. The mystery surrounding Gatsby is something that Carraway's Narrative perspective plays the key role in creating; that Carraway and the surrounding characters don't know much about his past, other than rumours and fragments of information to begin with is mirrored in what Fitzgerald reveals to the audience, creating an empathy with Carraway. This empathy with Carraway means that Carraway's opinions are likely to be shared by readers on some level, as Fitzgerald gradually reveals information. That Gatsby's past is shady presents him as a secretive character, and stimulates contemplation regarding how Gatsby acquired his wealth; as Carraway speculates within the novel, 'Young men didn't... drift casually out of nowhere and buy a place in Long
How does Jenny Diski present the experience of seeing penguins in Antarctica?
How does Jenny Diski present the experience of seeing penguins in Antarctica? Andrew Kidd Diski presents her experience through a multitude of techniques, creating a highly personal account that captures the essence of her trip. The register of the piece is reasonably informal; the conversational tone is created mainly through the use of colloquialism ("packed so tight", "The fact is") and humour ("I don't know who counted but I'm inclined not to argue"). The text also contains contractions ("don't", "I'm") that would not be found in a more formal text, and a 'dead metaphor' ("...up a storm") which most readers will find familiar. As a result the audience can identify with the text more readily. Collectively, these techniques engender informality which supplements the genre: it is the recount of a personal experience, and the register that is used creates the effect that the tale is being recounted to someone whom the author knows - she seeks to include the person reading the text. This is also achieved through the use of the second person personal pronoun "you". Despite this, the piece holds more descriptive aspects, that create striking images among the generally informal narrative. In the phrase "great florid gash", the use of the intensifier "great" and adjective "florid" emphasise the horridness of the penguin's injury; the author blends description and narration to
