...Faulkner uses interior monologue. Faulkner uses this style of writing to get the reader to think more. By using interior monologue, the reader is forced to think about what the characters’ thoughts mean about them and about other people. After Darl and Jewel get home, Darl stays on the porch while Jewel goes to the barn. Through Darl’s thought, we know that “Jewel kicks [the horse] in the stomach; the horse arches his neck back, crop-toothed; Jewel strikes him across the face with his fist and slides on the trough and mounts upon it” (13). Even though Darl is not in the barn, Darl somehow knows what Jewel is doing. Because of interior monologue, the reader is able to acknowledge that...

...internal states of mind in two or three works of fiction you have studied. Introduction: Throughout both novels, The God Small Things by Arundhati Roy and As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner, characters often lack rational thought and, speak in Most authors have distinct styles, and in both novels, Roy and Faulkner embed a deeper meaning within them with the use of a subtle and discreet narrative manner, such as stream of consciousness and interior monologues. This is particularly true in As I Lay Dying, a novel of a dysfunctional and unstable family told through fragmented chapters. Each character reveals their perspective in different chapters, but the perspectives are true to life in that they all reveal information about the Bundren family and their struggles to exist. Although stream of consciousness proves to be prevalent in the progression of the plots, a series of flashbacks and flashforwards unfold the secrets of these characters' unhappiness. Through the use of literary devices such as stream of consciousness, interior monologue and analepsis and prolepsis, Roy and Faulkner allow for the flow of impressions coming through a character’s mind to be represented on the surface. Outline: I. Stream of Consciousness A. As I Lay Dying 1. Faulkner imitates the way the human brain works; the progression of thoughts passing through the mind as they occur represents a selective omniscience a.

...One of Shakespeare's longest, most perplexing, and, for a lot of people, most frustrating play, Hamlet stays one of his most convincing and the most read play and it lives up to expectations, too. Hamlet can be better seen by analyzing Hamlet's soliloquies. The majority of Hamlet's monologues demonstrate Hamlet's self-loathing and even a readiness to bite the dust. The soliloquy "To be, or not to be: that is the question" shows up in Act 3 Scene 1. It is, maybe, one of the best-known soliloquies by Hamlet in the play, which produces significant scholarly investment even today. Hamlet is feeling profound agony and distress in light of his father's passing. It appears that he is not able to acknowledge this partition. He would like to live. Considering suicide, he doubts himself rationally in the event that it is legitimized to live with so much agony and anguish or if finishing his own particular life is the best conceivable choice. "To be, or not to be: that is the question" Hamlet makes this a stride further and works on the supposition that everybody would rather be dead than living, and is alive simply because he has a trepidation of slaughtering himself. Hamlet is no more addressing whether he needs to die, yet just whether or he finds himself able to slaughter himself, on the grounds that murdering himself clashes with his religion. Hamlet’s sadness over his father's demise and his mother's snappy marriage made him wish for death even before he discovered that his uncle...

...due to the fact that Amanda of an affluent decent and so such things as table manners when she was growing up, would have been of more importance than perhaps to Tom and his current financial situation. Tom does not appear in the second scene and so this could elude to the idea that Tom is trapped by financial burden. As we have discovered from Toms opening monologue, his father disappeared leaving Tom to be the sole provider for the family. This could perhaps suggest, through the theme of being male, that Tom is perhaps trapped by his gender, as in 1937 it was the role of the man in of the house to provide for the women. As a result of this societal norm, tom had to take work wherever he could find it, and so works in a low paid, low skilled job in a shoe factory. Perhaps the shoes are a metaphor to the running he is so longing to do away from his family, but more specifically, Amanda due to the burden of expectations she places on his shoulders to be the perfect gentlemen in a social class where, perhaps such thing does not exist. It could be argued that in scene three, the pivotal moment is not in the monologue when Tom breaks Laura’s glass menagerie, but the prior conversation he has with Amanda. Tom confirms the...

...Character Monologue It destroys me that they all come running up to me when they need someone to listen to them whine. They just carelessly suspect that I'm immune to sadness and depression. What they don't know is that I'm just like them. To them, I'm this person filled with joy and God knows nothing can drag me down. They assume I don’t have any troubles in my daily life, nope, all just rainbows and sunshine. They don't stop to consider that maybe all this depression surrounding me gets me down once in a while. No, how selfish of me, they've got their own problems to deal with first. They want to hear me say that everything will be okay, and that things really aren't as bad as they seem to be. You know, generic bullshit that’s on every page of social media. I’m having to listen to them ramble on about their crushes not liking them and their boyfriends not spending every minute of every hour of every fucking day with them. Maybe, it's my fault. I put on this front like I'm always so happy and cheery, so they naturally gravitate to the happiest person they can find within a mile radius. Maybe they're hoping a little bit of what’s left of my happiness will be passed onto them. Maybe they think that they'll be happier if they're like me. Oh, God. Stop me. I'm going on an ego trip again. But they wouldn't want this happiness spared onto them, it’s not happiness, quite the opposite. I can barely handle it anymore. People say that I'd make a good psychologist, and maybe they're right...

The blood dripping down my flesh, tears streaming down my face. He could have got me? Oh no…he could have. But did he? She was the first one to go. Who’s she you ask? Hmph…That does not matter anymore. I could hear her screaming as she called for help she grew limp, her voice cracking as he dragged her away. Do you think I am crazy? Doctor. Do you? The blood, the lives. Oh no but she came back, she came back but I knew it wasn’t her. The skin was there, but it was being worn by someone else, someone whom wanted to be her. I knew he wanted to smile, but her skin wouldn’t let him. He wore it, he wore what was hers. I stayed silent as he played dress up. The mirror he stared at was covered in dust, and each day I stared with him. He must have forgot about me? Though he enjoyed her skin a lot more than the others. He continued to wear it as if he knew I was watching, dolling her up as if she was his own. As he was her. This man wasn’t the prettiest, the lights dimming down on his harsh features, even with someone else’s face he couldn’t achieve beauty for he was a monster. How long did it take me to leave you ask? You tell me Doc am I really here or are you the one who’s...

...Inner Beauty and Physical Beauty Beauty is defined as the qualities of a person that delight and please the minds of other people. The two major beauties are inner beauty and physical beauty. Inner beauty consists of the qualities that one cannot see but can still sense. Physical beauty consists of the qualities that one can see, and is often inherited from a parent or ancestor. These two beauties often have an impact on personal success and happiness. Inner beauty is based on the personality, attitude, traits, and the way people represents themselves to the world. Inner beauty is decorous and constantly makes other people happy. Physical beauty is an individual’s outer appearance such as body type, hair, eye color, face features, skin type, etc. This is the beauty in which other people see first. People often mistakenly label the physical beauty as inner beauty. Another difference between inner beauty and physical beauty is how that beauty is achieved. Inner beauty relates to how people behave. It can be changed through actions, manners and behaviors. Physical beauty is largely inherited from parents. But physical beauty can also be changed with cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery. People often choose such interventions to make a more acceptable image. The importance of the two beauties is the quality. Many people feel inner beauty is more important and pure than physical beauty. It does not lie and involves the heart, mind and soul. Inner beauty...

...In the novel, The Awakening, by Katie Chopin, main character Edna Pontellier struggles to find her identity between being her outer self and her inner self. Her outer self, as Chopin describes, is the one that conforms based on society’s expectations of her. Edna’s inner self, on the other hand, is the one that questions her outer self and is authentic to who she truly is when free of society’s norms. As the novel progresses, Edna’s desire to identify more with her inner self rather than conforming to her outer self increases; Edna begins to devote more time towards her paintings and furthermore, moves out from her residency with her husband. However, in the process of accepting her inner self, Edna is no longer able to fit in as a functioning member of society. She as a result becomes frustrated and depressed. Furthermore, not even those who are closest to her (for example, Robert) are able to understand her needs and desires. As a result comes the ending: Edna’s ultimate death in a search for independence (her swim out to the sea). Such ending comes as a shock with no real solution for Edna other than death. However, such ending is conclusive because of its realistic parallels to society that Chopin is trying to highlight. Chopin’s ending of the book serves as a commentary of society’s expectations of women. Chopin’s main message, as highlighted through the ending, is the expectations society places onto women is an ultimatum forcing women to either conform to its norms or...

...APOLLO .W. MBOGO ( MOI UNIVERSITY) Professor’s Name: Course: Date: We Should Wear Pants A pant refers to any cloth that is worn under/inside an individual’s outer clothes. Elizabeth Smith Miller was the first woman to discover an inner ware in 1851. She sought to come with a reformed system of women’s dressing code.Innerwares are of different categories and are meant to serve diverse purposes. For instance some men widely use shorts to serve as their undergarments. Other related undergarments that serve the same purpose as the pants include the t-shirts, vests and others. There are some contentions on whether the women specifically should wear pants. Christians argue that women are not supposed to wear men garment and men should not wear women garments either. The wearing of pants by women is opposed among some Christians in the society. Pants play different roles to different people depending on their perceptions. Pants are normally used for their different roles such as providing warmth to the body (Rushton & Susie, p.4). In addition, they are used in absorbing dirt emanating from the body since they are in direct contact with the body. Pants therefore serve hygienic purposes, warmth as well as comfort. Good body aeration is achieved by wearing clean pants. Among some communities; they are used for religious purposes. When it is worn to serve the purpose of hygiene, a pant normally helps to absorb dirt emanating from the body. This is helpful since the outer clothes...

...The following factors are the factors that we need to consider in renovating an old hotel. First, the Cost of Renovation. It is very important to know the possible cost of renovation. Most probably, we are talking about big amount of money here. Because renovation covers the outer and inner part of the entire hotel up to finishing touches. Second, is the Budget for Renovation. Renovation will not push through without the availability of the budget. We need to consider the budget for manpower, materials, services etc. Third, the Government Requirements. Complying with government requirements is another major task. It is really needed before starting any renovation. We needed to spend time and also money in processing all necessary documents. Fourth, the Renovation Concept/Theme. This talks about the changes that we wanted to apply in an old hotel. Design concerns and also the theme. Conceptualization process is part of this one. Fifth, is the Time Frame. We need to have clear time frame before we renovate a hotel. The length of construction period must be given attention. The number of working days per week and how many months or years it will take to finish the renovation. And lastly, the Reliable Contractor. A very good contractor will result to a perfect hotel building . A reliable contractor will make the entire work easier, faster and if possible, less expensive than expected. Also with reliable contractor, we are assured that the building will be safe because of high...

...SOME PROBLEMS IN CONFORMAL MAPPING D. C. SPENCER 1. Introduction. Attention will be confined to a group of problems centering around so-called schlicht functions—that is, functions regular in a given domain and assuming no value there more than once. The type of problem we consider involves determination of precise bounds for certain quantities depending on the function/, as ƒ ranges over the schlicht functions in question. Since, for suitable normalization of the functions at some fixed point of the domain, the resulting family of functions is compact or normal, the extremal schlicht functions always exist and the problem is to characterize them. Interest was focused on this category of questions by the work of Koebe in the years 1907-1909, who established for the family of funct i o n s / o f the form ƒ(z) = z+a2Z2+aszz+ • • • , schlicht and regular in \z\ < 1 , a series of properties, among them the theorem of distortion bearing Koebe's name. This theorem asserts the existence of bounds for the absolute value of the derivative ƒ'(s), these bounds depending only on \z\. Further efforts were directed toward finding the precise values of the bounds asserted by Koebe's theorem, but success was not attained until 1916 when Bieberbach, Faber, Pick and others gave a final form to the theorem of distortion. At the same time the precise bound for | a2\ was given, namely 2, and the now famous conjecture was made that \an\ ^n for every n. Since 1916 this group of problems has attracted...
