Consequences Of Nature In The Interlopers By Saki

The main theme expressed by Stephen Crane in the story is nature’s indifference towards man or nature versus man. The author elaborates the realization of

The structure of the story is centered on the narrative theme of the concept "poisoned story". The

The diction in the excerpt is an essential component to the dramatization of the plot’s central incident. Jewett uses rich language to intensify the simple nature of the main character Sylvia’s journey up a “great pine-tree.” For example, in describing the tree, the narrator uses personification as he mentions the “huge tree asleep yet in the paling moonlight.” The use of personification harkens back to those universal moments in childhood in which everything alive had human feelings, and creates an emotional attachment between the reader and the tree. Jewett also uses other figurative language, like similes, to relate the grandeur of the tree to the audience. She writes, “It [the tree] was like a great main-mast to the voyaging earth…” In comparing the tree to the great mast of a ship, the author invokes feelings of awe at its size.

The author writes the story in a very interesting way. The way that there are only a few descriptions scattered about and that it focuses on dialogue is what allows us to figure out what the characters are speaking about and to find the intentions behind their words. The subject of this short narrative stands out boldly. Though it was written in

At the beginning of the story, both men absolutely hate each other. When they march in the forest and get pinned down by the tree, they tell putrid things to each other. Both men share what's going to happen if their army of men get there first. After being pinned down for a while, they end up talking about how it is stupid that they are fighting for a little part of the forest. They end up becoming friends and agree to stop fighting each other. ‘We have quarrelled like devils all our lives over this stupid strip of forest, where the trees cant even stand upright in a breath of wind, lying here tonight, thinking, I’ve come to think we’ve been rather fools; there are better things in life than getting the better of a boundary dispute. Neighbor, if you will help me to bury the old quarrel, I...I will ask you to be my friend.’ (5) This starts to set feelings for the

Many people believe that this mimics Whitman's life. Living in a life of social separation much of the time, he still managed to succeed not only with his writing, but also in life itself. However, in line five Whitman goes on to say that he wonders how the tree could grow such joyous leaves while being alone. He himself says that he could not survive if put in the same situation. Whitman did however lead a joyous and happy life in many peoples opinion, even though he did not enjoy the social life many other had during his lifetime. His own opinion of himself not being lonely may be frayed in order to spare the image he proposes to the public in his writings. The next few lines are interesting because of the way they could possible spell out Whitman's life. In the poem, he breaks of a twig, wraps some moss around it, and takes it to he room and places it in plain view. This may parallel his life by way of his memory. The twig may represent pieces of his memory that were enjoyable to him. He then takes the twig and places it in his room signifying that he wants to be able to constantly see those fond memories. Again Whitman replies by saying he did not do this to remind him of his friends, but in reality he may have just said this to help keep a good report with his readers about his lifestyle.

The two stories are comparable in that, Nature gives no sector to the conditions of the people who have become tangled in the stories offered. Examples of this impressive similar themes stand out in “The Open Boat," with one of the opening sentences being, "none of them knew the color of the sky" (Crane, p.584). Congruently, like the “To Build a Fire” in the sentence, “day had broken cold and gray" (London, p.628). Both writers refuse to give compassion towards the conditions of the individuals. Also, both writers are cynical in their interpretations of human race and are highly conscious of the natural world. The illustrations of their characters show humans who have confidence in that they are sturdy and can skillfully endure, nevertheless these characters often over guesstimate themselves which can lead to a considerate of their own humanity as they look down their

The short story consists of both short sentences and long sentences. The sentences are short when something dramatic happens and the short sentences make it more dramatic and interesting to read

Humans have often struggled to define their relationship with nature throughout history. In the early periods of their existence, humans were ruled by the brutality of untamed nature. They utilized nature to an extent of survival, but had not yet developed a system to thrive within it. As humans advanced, both mentally and technologically, their aptitude and desire to exploit nature increased dramatically. These two polar relationships between humans and nature are mirrored in William Shakespeare’s The Tempest and Aimé Césaire’s A Tempest. In The Tempest, Shakespeare fixates on Caliban’s attachment to nature and Prospero’s exploitation of it, while in A Tempest, Césaire employs nature as the dividing force between Caliban and Prospero. These two separate themes both represent the consequences that occurred throughout history as a result of two ideologies about nature colliding during colonization.

Saki has displayed a theme of wasting your life on engaging in hatred because death will follow, by using the technique of irony. This theme comes into notice when the forresters walk out into the open to explore. Ulrich and Georg, the forresters, meet eyes in the middle of the open forest. Then, lighting struck and branches from the trees fall down onto Georg and Ulrich. The hatred turned from each other onto nature. Hoping that the other is dead, Ulrich shouts “I’m caught in my own forest land”, and then their was a moment of silence (Saki 8). Georg was silent because he knew that this situation he got in, is very ironic. They’re on their own land but yet trapped and nearing death all because of this long lasting family feud. Since death is nearing, Georg starts to get into panic mode. He shouts at Ulrich and says, “Death and damnation to you, Ulrich Von Gradwitz”, as they were trapped under the heavy tree branches (Saki 8). Georg didn’t mean that in a bad way. He just wanted to make sure that Ulrich knew that if they did died under those branches, that it would be all his fault for making this a bigger deal than what it

To begin with, the story is told chronologically by Camara Laye. He is telling the story in a first-person point of view. For example, the story starts when he was five or six years old when he saw his father’s spirit guide and how he continually grows up to learn more wisdom from his family and friends. The structure of the book fit its topics because his life continually changed throughout the story which he had to learn and adapt to the environment. For example, he visited his relatives in Tindican which they had different expectations of him. His relatives wanted him to become farmer and he had adapted to the simple life of the community.

The short story is a concise form of narrative prose that is usually simpler and more direct compared to longer works of fiction such as novels. Therefore, because of their short length, short stories rely on many forms of literary devices to convey the idea of a uniform theme seen throughout the script. This theme is illustrated by using characteristics that are developed throughout the story such as, plot, setting and characters. The three main components are developed throughout the story in order to guide the reader to the underlying theme, which is necessary as a short story lacking a theme also lacks meaning or purpose.
