Knowing the source of this allusion is useful because it explains what Jitney Jungle was, when it was around, and where they were located around the

    • 512 Words

    In Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use,” one of the characters, Dee visits her mother and sister after being gone for many years at college, from the view of the reader, the reunion seems distant and the character’s relationships amongst each other strained as Dee now looks upon her family with condescending disdain. Throughout the course of the story the author expertly exploits the history of the central family in an effort to explain how they’ve become who they are. Walker uses a combination of allusion and character interaction to illustrate the theme which covers power of education to split people apart and bring them together. Walker’s use of allusion throughout the story is not extensive, though when it is used it takes full advantage of…

    To Kill a Mockingbird was published in 1960 and brought its first-time author, Harper Lee, a startling amount of recognition as well as discouragement. The novel retells the three significant years in the life of Scout Finch, the young daughter of a Southern town's lawyer. It has been said that To Kill a Mockingbird was influenced by the Scottsboro Trials of the 1930’s. The novel portrays a society that is supremely and shockingly unfair. Harper Lee has successfully incorporated various traits in To Kill a Mockingbird, which include evil, hypocrisy and injustice. Leading up to, during and after the trial of Tom Robinson, Scout and Jem are exposed to the dreadful acts of evil, hypocrisy and injustice in the adult society.…

    “I felt the starched walls of a pink cotton penitentiary closing in on me, and for the second time in my life I thought of running away” expresses Scout’s distaste for dresses. The metaphor of a dress to a penitentiary helps the reader understand the oppression Scout felt while wearing one. These experiences helped give a negative connotation to being a girl in Scout’s mind. “It’s time you started bein’ a girl and acting right! I burst into tears and fled to Calpurnia”, was a statement Jem made to Scout, which completely contradicts his earlier statements. This hurts Scout emotionally because she always wanted Jem’s approval and was always being told how she should conform to the traditional expectations of women at the time. Scout’s stereotype of being a tomboy and the constant critique that her character endured reflected the apparent sexism that women in the 1930s were subjected to in Maycomb.…
