...As stated by Steve Maraboli, “You express the truth of character with the choice of your actions.” This quote describes how a character changes with his actions. It relates to a 24th century city dweller named Guy Montag. He takes pleasure burning illegally owned books and the homes of their owners while considering himself as a fireman. His story in Fahrenheit 451 thoroughly describes the different changes a person can experience through the variety of someone's actions. Throughout the text of Fahrenheit 451, Montag shows many different traits such as being oblivious, rebellious, and audacious. Throughout the hearth and the salamander, Montag is oblivious to his society’s problems. As stated in the text, “While the books went up in sparkling whirls and blew away on a wind turned dark with burning. Montag grinned the fierce grin of all men singed and driven back by flame. He knew that when he returned to the firehouse, he might wink at himself, a minstrel man, burnt-corked,...

...Text Analysis №2 “Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin. Kate Chopin was born in 1851 and grew up in the household dominated by generations of women that greatly influenced her style of writing. Many of her works deal with women searching for freedom from male domination, and she is considered to be an early feminist writer. Chopin wrote over a hundred short stories, many of which were published in two collections: Bayou Folk and A Night in Acadia. Her two novels, At Fault and The Awakening deal with the controversial themes of divorce and adultery. The story under analysis is called Story of an Hour and belongs to a psychological type including social element because the author depicts the inner world of the main character, her thoughts about her future life which reflect relations between men and women at the end of the 19th century. The story is close to some extent to Galsworthy’s The Man of Property as it shows the relationship between husband and wife typical of the Victorian society. The text under consideration has the close plot structure because we observe all the four elements here. In the exposition the reader meets the main characters of the story and learns about the heart disease which one of them has. Then, the events develop in the following way: Mrs. Mallard is told “as gently as possible the news of her husband’s death” by her sister Josephine and we see the usual reaction of a wife who lost her husband which is brightly illustrated with the help of the metaphor...

Lawrence’s ‘Sons and Lovers’ Nozar Niazi English Department, Lorestan University, Khorramabad-Iran E-mail: nozar_2002@yahoo.co.in Received: 04-04-2013 doi:10.7575/aiac.ijalel.v.2n.4p.118 Abstract Accepted: 14-05-2013 Published: 01-07-2013 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.ijalel.v.2n.4p.118 This paper aims at analyzing D.H. Lawrence’s ‘Sons and Lover’ using a stylistic approach. Stylistics is a study of the amalgamation of form with content. The stylistic analysis of a novel goes beyond the traditional, intuitive interpretation, because it combines intuition and detailed linguistic analysis of the text. The defining elements of modern language are within the text itself, not prescribed from outside. With modernist texts, usually understanding comes from close study of the language system defined within the text itself. Form, technique and style are considered not as a mere vehicle of the content of the story, but an integral part of the work’s meaning and value. In our analysis of ‘Sons and Lovers’ the resources of language: lexis, syntax, phonology, figurative language, cohesion and coherence, are discussed in relation to the style of discourse in order to explore hidden meanings in the text. The resources of language are shown...

...the style and directing for this movie. The last few things we will explore are the impact this film had on society (if any), the genre, what is the best way to analyze this film. When all these aspects of the movie are examined we will see how a script comes to life on the big screen. Storytelling: This film is shot in non-linear form, it starts with the present and throughout the movie we are given glimpses into the past. This story takes place in several different places which include Ireland and New York City. The main female character (Holly) experiences an internal conflict when her husband Gerry passes away from an illness at a very young age. Holly is able to resolve her conflict with help from her friends, family, and her deceased husband. The symbolism in this film is that love can overcome anything including death. For us, the viewers, relates to our human nature. If we are lucky we have all been able to experience the type of love that is portrayed in this film. That love that we never see coming, but hits us like a “ton of bricks”. The kind of love most of us only get to experience once in our life time; which can be described as true love. Actors and Acting: Although there are many characters in this film, for now we will only focus on the two main characters. Both Gerard Butler who plays Gerry (the husband) and Hilary Swank, who plays Holly (the wife) in the film, can be described as wild card actor/actress. A wild card actor can be described...

...loA Telephone Call Analysis REALISTIC, MODERNIST PLOT, 1st person monologue A Telephone Call brings up issues such as the constraints of society and the different places men and women occupy it all through a simple device, the telephone. The character in this story is awaiting a call from her lover, who promised to call but has not. The woman goes through a variety of emotions including anger, hope, and despair. Parker uses this very uncomplicated situation to highlight the power dynamics to be found in relations between men and women, and the problems etiquette creates in these relations. The telephone is an important part of this story. There are specific social rules for using the telephone and they place men and women in different and unequal positions of power. Social rules around people of the opposite sex who are dating are especially restrictive. Women are not supposed to call men, men are supposed to call them. This gives men more power than women, as they can decide whether to call or not. The main conflict in this story is the woman's inability to do what she wants. She would like to call her lover but afraid to do so because society has taught her that men dislike women to call them. This leaves her stuck and unable to do anything but rationalize why her lover hasn't called, play mind games with herself in an attempt to make him call, rage because he hasn't, and beg God to make him call. In her article "On the Wire with Death and Desire: The Telephone...

...the contrary, great value and critics unfolded from this work. Macbeth opened up several ways for tragedy within the literature world, forasmuch as the high quality of its elements, such as its plot, thought, character, diction, and so. Hereafter, I will proceed to go beyond the lines and leave my analysis of the most relevant elements of the magnificent tragedy of Macbeth by the master William Shakespeare. Thrilling from beginning to end is how I perceive The Tragedy of Macbeth as in its plot, which I am going to analyze right after, some important moments take place which makes this tragedy brilliant upon the reader’s eyes. The story is developed during the eleventh century in Scotland lands of which Macbeth looked after as the thane, although some parts of the story take place in England. Some of the most important characters within this tragedy are Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, the three witches, Duncan, Banquo, Fleance, Malcolm, MacDuff, the three murderers, among others of minor relevance. The rising action initiates when both Macbeth and Banquo encountered with the three witches who predict their future telling them about their fortune and misfortune regarding the crown that Duncan possessed by the time. Subsequently, the climax appears on scene when Macbeth put away Duncan in order to be the only one with the power in the reign. Goaded by Lady Macbeth’s greed, Macbeth turns to be even greedier than her and the consequent acts he faced carried blood in every step he took...

...the form of a letter from a lonely wife who has not seen her husband in five months. She begins by reminiscing about meeting him during childhood. She was pulling flowers at the front gate and he came by on stilts, playing horse. The next two lines, "And we went on living in the village of Chokan/Two small people, without dislike or suspicion," imply that the pair did not grow close right away following that encounter; they continued to grow up separately. In the next stanza, the wife describes marrying her husband at age fourteen. After that, she was continuously shy, either out of respect, sub-ordinance, or just because of her introverted personality. According to the next stanza, she became more comfortable with the marriage by age fifteen and "stopped scowling." A year later, her husband (a merchant) departed for another village, which is where he has been for the past five months. The monkeys' sorrowful noise mirrors her loneliness. She writes that her husband "dragged [his] feet" when he left - indicating that he did not want to leave her. She ends her letter by writing that if he comes back along the river, he should send word ahead, and she will come out to meet him. The poem is signed "by Rihaku." Analysis: Pound was not the creator of this poem; he translated it from the original Chinese version by Li Po. The Chinese original likely had a specific form and identifiable meter, but Pound did not know enough about Chinese poetry to preserve it in his translation...

The king distrusted women and thought that all women are unfaithful and bitter, so the king marries a virgin and after one night has the woman executed.
