.... is its self-consciousness, its concentration on the role of the writer. In many ways, can be seen as Carver's comment on his own career, on storytelling itself. Myers is a writer, although he hasn't sold anything yet and is currently not writing. He has quit his job to pursue his muse, but with little success. As the story opens he is depressed, " between stories and [feeling] despicable", when his wife calls to invite him to the office Christmas party. But he doesn't want to go, mainly because the textbook publishing company where she works is also his former place of employment. Like Marston in "What Do You Do in San Francisco?" Myers is feeling the guilt of th ....

.... depends on a red wheelbarrow that gives meaning to the poem. Without the initial statement of urgency we are left with nothing but some descriptions of random objects. The first two lines give us a link to the objects. It forces us to relate emotionally, almost nostalgically to the objects. Such an emotional exclamation directs and influences us to think and imagine the circumstance of the picture that has been painted in our minds with words. There is also a structural relationship between the initial statement and the rest of the poem. The first two lines are highly contrasting to the rest of the poem. The last six lines, grouped in two, consist of either an article or ....

.... the book, made other people feel inferior to his own. I can relate to this because although I do not view people inferior to myself, I do judge others unequally, but not on purpose. Holden and I in some few ways both have similar judgements of people from the way they act and behave. We also share feelings about motivation as well as lack of it. After reading this book, I came to the conclusion that Holden and I are a little more similar than I initially believed. The protagonist, Holden Caulfield, interacts with many people throughout J.D.

.... used to describe the way things are now in the world that Guy (the main character) and she live in. she is a teenager who live with her uncle, who is a very smart man of the old time and he tells her about the way things used to be. The main reason Clarisse is in the story is to show the ills of the world that is described in the book and to show Guy a new way of life. This is the basis for the changes that happen to Guy, emotionally, later in the book. After Clarisse serves her purpose in the plot, she is killed off. The other character that we feel is influential in the book is captain Beatty. Beatty opens Guys eyes to the truth as he sees it. He Finally tells Guy about t ....

When she cooks for her children or pesters them about getting married so she can have some grandchildren proves that she cares about their well-being very much.

.... of symbols he uses are literary symbols. Literary symbols only have meaning in the context of the book that they are in. For example, a major symbol in Lord of the Flies is the pigs head. To someone who hasn’t read the book the pigs head would have no meaning to them. The meaning applied to literary symbols would only be recognized by thows who have read the book. Therefor literary symbols are created by the author for the purpose of enhancing the complexity of his or her book, and are only applicable in the context of that book.

.... monarch died and five year old great-grandson inherited the throne. Phillippe d’Orleans was named the regent to the underaged king. D’Orleans, considered philosophically liberal by some, caused many problems for Voltaire, including his imprisonments in the Bastille. The first was from May 16, 1717 to April 11, 1718, the second was in 1726. After his first confinment Francois Marie Arouet adopter the name Voltaire, which later became synonymous for horatian sarcasm towards the aristocracy of France, whether it was truly his work or not. This is how Voltaire once again found himself in the Bastille. Falsely accused of the authorship of a politically abrasive poem, he was ....
