.... in a manner that would indicate it is a photographic negative; this emphasizes race as an alienating factor. Dove’s writing usually charts a sense of displacement and this seems to be the case in "The ". In My Mother Enters the Work Force Dove does not use her home theme, but in The Bistro Styx, which is a small excerpt from a works entitled Mother Love, Dove does make references to home.

.... than that. Nick in this novel is an active member of the story, being only second in importance to the main character Jay Gatsby. This novel takes a very different approach in its development of the characters. Having the narrator change more than any of the other characters, this thesis will explain Fitzgerald’s unusual development of the characters and their greater significance through the novel. For although we would expect a certain, standard technique in telling a story, Fitzgerald uses a much different method. The first person to discuss is the main character of the story Jay Gatsby. A self made man, who amasses a .....

.... the men are anxious about departure for war, they still try to show cheerfulness. Owen progresses further ahead into the poem and introduces people watching the men departure. "A casual tramp, stood staring hard.", the indication we get from this line is that other individuals who have not entered to fight in war are the 'ones' better off than the soldiers.

The use of "hard" indicates that the tramp really focused, gazed, glared not taking his eyes off and foreseein .....

In fact, it is this buoyancy of Jane's relationship with Rochester that keeps Jane afloat at her time of crisis in the heath: "Why do I struggle to retain a valueless life? Because I know, or believe, Mr. Rochester is living." Another recurrent image is Brontë's treatment of Birds. We first witness Jane's fascination when she reads Bewick's History of British Birds as a child. She reads of "death-white realms" and "'the solitary rocks and promontories'" of sea-fowl. We quickly see how Jane identifies with the bird. For her it is a form of esca .....

.... words, “I am a rather elderly man.” This first “I” begins a long, autobiographical narrative in which the lawyer reveals much of himself to the reader. Because the story is centered on the lawyer's life, it is imperative that the reader have this close view of him. The repetitive “I” in these paragraphs is important because it comes from the lawyer's thoughts of himself. For this text to flow in it's intended path, the reader must know a great deal about the lawyer and his employees. In fact, it is these characters which consummately defines the text.

Not only did he make her look good, but he made her feel good about herself. He did this by always treating her like she was special, by always treating her like a lady. He always treated her with the respect she deserved. .....
