Along in with the author’s use of metaphors is the frequent use of imagery. In this reading, it is simple to envision the scenes as the different scenarios are explained and the audience can easily picture Staples in the places he is describing and also the people he comes across. Perhaps the most powerful and memorable imagery is provided in the author’s description of people’s different reactions and faces when they come into contact with him. Actions speak volumes and an immediate change of facial expression is possibly one of the

Le uses descriptive imagery of objects in order to show the internal nature of the characters. The narrator holds a butterfly paperweight next to her ear and “[hears] a soft rustling, like wings brushing against a windowpane. The rustling was a whispered song. It was the butterfly’s way of speaking, and [she] thought [she] understood it” (Le 25) Le captures the narrator’s young, wild imagination by showing an impossible interaction between the narrator and the butterfly paperweight. She evokes an image of wings brushing against a windowpane to prompt readers to imagine the butterfly’s swift fluttering in the paperweight. She compares the paperweight to her “Ba’s heavy head pressed down on the pillow at night, full of thoughts that dragged him into nightmares when all he wanted was a dream as sweet

The text “Letting the air into a relationship: Metaphorical Abortion in ‘Hills Like White Elephants” by Wyche David aims at analyzing and synthesizing the short story by Hemingway “Hills like White”. The analysis would provide new knowledge to readers of the short story or provide the readers with a new point of view of analyzing it. The subject of the text is to present his ideas on the short story and well as critique other critics who had previously critiqued it. The story illustrates broken relationships of Hemingway and the pain it caused him, which led him to write the short story. The whole text is therefore an analysis and synthesis of the short story written by Hemingway.

“What the dead don’t know piles up, though we don’t notice it at first,” is an insight in Roger Angell’s descriptive memoir, “Over the Wall” (414). Emotional responses, stimulating thoughts and solid feelings are elicited through the use of personal reflection, regarding the death of his wife, Carol. This literary nonfiction, memoir uses the present tense, a constant tone, and an informal view to help add immediacy, by keeping the reader involved step by step as the author connects his personal present and past experiences regarding death. Readers are continually intrigued by Angell’s literary nonfiction essay, with provoking thoughts focusing on death, while using figurative language to keep Carol alive, with the use of vivid personal reflections and descriptive personal experiences.

Everyday, people are forced to make choices. Some of those choices are fairly easy to make, and others are not. In the short story “The Life You Save May Be Your Own” by Flannery O’Connor, a man by the name of Tom T. Shiftlet stumbles across a farm where an old woman and her daughter, Lucynell Crater, reside. When the author first introduces the readers to Mr. Shiftlet, he is described as “a tramp and no one to be afraid of” (674). What starts as a man accidentally coming across the woman’s farm, becomes a story that follows Tom through his unrealized quest for love and acceptance. With the help of Ms. Crater and Lucynell, Tom learns that his choices have consequences. In “The Life You Save May Be Your Own”, O’Connor creates a world in

When Eve is diagnosed with brain cancer, she finds herself fighting the temptation of not giving in to the fear of death. Sickness forces her to overcome mental challenges that present themselves with being removed from her family and feeling death constantly loom around her. Eve admits to Enzo, the narrator, one night that “It's [cancer] bigger than me [her]. It's everywhere” (Stein 161). In this moment Eve feels that giving into fear is her easiest option. Despite this, Eve triumphs over her previous thoughts of death by finally accepting her situation. “Do you see? I'm [She’s] not afraid of it [death] anymore… Because it's not the end” (Stein 161). Eve realized that fighting death itself was not what she was battling, rather fighting her urge to give into the fear that comes with dying. In contrast to her previous anxious and doubtful mentality, Eve’s perseverance over her fear lead to a yet anticipated, but

Significant life events (SLE) can be any episode that may be positive or negative, impacting on an individual life, or reflecting as good and bad practice. For example, it may include underage pregnancy, coping with a staffing crisis, complaints or compliments received from workplace, breaches of confidentiality, a sudden unexpected death or hospitalisation. (Patient.co.uk, 2014) example of SLE:

Has anyone lived a life without misfortune? Doubtable; even the person with what could be described as the ideal life deals with some form of adversity. The novel, Speak, and the short story, The Third and Final Continent, both use plot as a way to convey themes of hardship. Moreover, these texts both use symbolism in order to develop their themes as well. The Art of Resilience and Speak utilize characterization as a method of developing their respective themes. Speak, The Third and Final Continent, and The Art of Resilience each deal with the theme that all people must learn to cope with adverse situations.

Imagery is used flawlessly in this short story. O’Connor uses descriptive adjectives fairly often to paint a picture in the reader’s mind and to add spice to her

The speaker describes, “They swathed my limbs in a sackcloth gown/ on a night that was black as tar”(Cullen 7,8), which then causes the reader to imagine the scene in their mind. Cullen describes a baby being “swathed in a sackcloth gown” and this happening when the night was “as black as tar”. This imagery causes an image of what they interpret this scene to appear in their mind, which further immerses the reader into the poem. Cullen has a vivid image of what this scene looks like to himself, and the reader creating their own image of the same scene brings a better understanding to what the author was attempting to show. While Lily is asleep in the honey house, she has a vivid dream of her mother following Lily’s trail of honey and when she comes into view she is part roach. Lily explains, “She is smiling, so pretty, but then I see she is not a normal person. She has roach legs protruding through her clothes, sticking through the cage of her ribs, down her torso, six of them, three on each side,”(Kidd 174). Kidd creates a vivid and detailed image of a woman with a beautiful smile but with the lower half of her body as a roach using imagery. Kidd describes Lily’s mother as “following Lily’s trail of honey,””smiling, so pretty,” and “She has roach legs protruding through her clothes.” The imagery generates an image of the woman as

In the short story “The Harvest” by Amy Hempel, an unnamed narrator is in a horrible car accident, where her leg is permanently disfigured. The story takes place after the accident, when the narrator is attempting to process the life changing event that’s just happened to her. The story is broken up into two parts,in the first part she describes the accident and the aftermath - the accident, the hospital, the recovery. But she opens the second half of the story by admitting that not everything we just read is factual. The struggle she is having throughout the story is to cope with and understand her accident, but her emotional distress inhibits that. The narrator conveys her instability and vulnerability that the accident caused in through the ways she decides to alter the details of her story. Although she goes through the process of reflecting on why she does this, she doesn’t come out the other side feeling less confused about why her accident happened to her, or any less unstable and vulnerable.

The writer also introduces Imagery to show how throughout the detailed description of how many tasked Annie was forced to do and how her hands and body was damaged. Annie did every task and did so until her hands we’re damaged.”Annie’s life became unbearable” This shows a metaphor of how Annie couldn’t tolerate her husbands’ demand anymore this also show’s a paradox because her life was really unbearable.
