Anthony In Blue Alsatia.
The text under analyses belongs to the pen of Eleanor Farjeon. She was famous for delightful and distinctive poems for children. She had sensitiveness to beauty and had true understanding of the essential quality of romance.
The text under analyses is about a man, Anthony by name, who read a morning paper and was faced with an article “A Minor Mystery” which was about a train who broke on the half way to the place of destination. Anthony begin to imagine that he was present at that place and he also wander about the beauty of the nature. So we can present the theme of the text. It is Man and Nature. As for the type of narration we are faced with 3rd person narration with some elements of represented speech.
The text begins at the moment when Andrew was skipping his newspaper. From the first sentence we came to know that for him all usual things were uninterested as for other people. Such things as industry, politics and publicity life. But the author uses here metonymical periphrases Home Rails, Questions in the House, Three-Piece Suits. We can prove this fact with the help of such word as skipping, epithet bewildered but for other people all these articles were vital. Moreover we see that all people for Andrew were as a mass because the author uses here such periphrases as by different orders of mind from his and simile they slipped as through gauze.
The fact that really touched his mind was the sentence Mouchard (near the Jura Mountains). It was written in the newspaper. Such phrases as Jura Mountains… Blue smoke… a blue- eyed Alsation…a concertina… the Blue Alsatian Express…many miles from nowhere…hay-making damsels in white sunbonnets… hayrakes.. .laughing at us… bore in his mind and he was wandering about it. It seems as the stream of consciousness in course of reading. The next figure that he kept in mind was the title of the article “A Minor Mystery”. The author writes it in the middle of the line. So we can conclude that

    "Near the threshold he stopped, horror-stricken at the sight of a thing. He was being looked at by a dead man who was seated with his back against a columnlike tree. The corpse was dressed in a uniform that had once been blue, but was now faded to a melancholy shade of green. The eyes, staring at the youth, had changed to the dull hue to be seen on the side of a dead fish. The mouth was open. Its red had changed to an appalling yellow. Over the gray skin of the face ran little ants. One was trundling some sort of bundle along the upper lip.”…

    McCarthy tells the story using narrative voice in this section of the text. He contrasts the third person extradiegetic narrator with the man’s interior monologue in order to convey multiple perspectives to the reader. “He’d left the cart in the bracken beyond the dunes and they’d taken blankets with them and sat wrapped in them in the wind-shade of a great driftwood log.” Here, McCarthy constructs the lexis of the third person narrator using what some critics have called a limited linguistic palette. The polysyndeton creates a steady rhythm, which parallels the rhythm of the journey the man and boy are on, which is, like the sentence, seemingly never-ending. Here the narrator presents the reader with a practical account of the man and boy’s response to the disappointment of the beach, detailing their movements with unelaborated, unemotional language. The pared back language poignantly conveys the sense that the bleakness of the beach was inevitable. In contrast, the tricolon: “Cold. Desolate. Birdless”, is clearly the man’s interior monologue. The three adjectives highlight the extent to which the reality of the beach does not live up to the characters’ expectations of it. Where they had hoped for warmth when heading south, instead they found “cold”. Where they had hoped for a more habitable climate, they found a “desolate” environment. Where they had hoped for life, they had found a “birdless” environment. Thus, the tricolon convey’s the man’s disappointment to the reader. McCarthy utilizes stream of consciousness in order to enable the reader to understand the man’s emotional response. The narrator is typically unemotive, presenting a pared back account of events and it is thus these…

    The Lost Thing revolves around a creature whom is met with indifference by the rest of society. The bright red colour of ‘the thing’ immediately catches the reader’s eyes, drawing their attention to it thus effectively enabling reader’s to instantly explore as to why the creature is ‘lost’ within an industrialised town unlike it's natural surroundings. This creates a sense of isolation and seclusion which follows the picturesque…

    Descriptions of the land and country in which the characters live sets the scene and the time period of the story. On the first page, we are given images of isolation due to the heavy winter that "buried [the land] under whiteness". This gives us a view into the feudalist lifestyles of the peasants in the mountains, and the "leisure" they enjoyed despite their hard work.…

    A vast range of literary techniques is employed in the text, all of which contribute to exploring the negative outcome of journeys. Imagery is a predominant throughout the entire text, appealing to the auditory, olfactory, tactile and visual senses. This is highly effective in depicting the wild beauty and the horror of nature. Quotes such as “…the clouds brewing above and the dirt swirling around his feet” and “skyline rushing down to drown his brittle form” conjure up images of the uncontrollable force of nature and the insignificance of humans in comparison. Fudge also encompasses more harsh imagery to further reinforce the harshness of life. This is evident in the quotes, “…spluttered mucus and blood” and “…covered in crusted blood, jaws ripped from his skull”. All these descriptions are then directly linked to nature’s ferocity. Fudge has characterised “The Land” as nature’s representation in the text. He emphasises and reinforces The Land by encompassing heavy use of personification. “the Land was speaking”, “the Land throbbing” and “the Land had suffocated his family” all use personification. The repeated use of ‘the’ before the subject, ‘Land’, combined with the effect of personification, emphasises and reinforces the authority and dominance of nature.…

    In this abstract we can observe many repetitions of details which try to signify a certain aspect. Such as in the beginning on page 47 the writer imposes many vivid images of her youth and the season to explain a single detail in her life which contains the sadness that the color gray surrounds her by. She says “my memories of life in Patterson during those first few years are all in shades of gray. Maybe I was too young to absorb all those colors and details, or to discriminate between the state blue of the winter sky and the darker hues of the snow bearing clouds, but that single color washes over the whole period’(47). What the writer is trying to reveal here is the very well image which is described by repetition of details defining a single object is the tragedy of spending her insecure childhood in such place. The rest of the paragraph…

    For this paper I have chosen to discuss the theme and narrative elements of the short story “Hills like White Elephants”. In the short story “The Hills like White Elephants”, just at first glance of the title it makes me think the story is going to be about something beautiful and something of admiration; because when I think of white elephants I think of something extremely beautiful and rare. When I actually read the story it turned out to be the complete opposite. So my goal for this paper is to explain what the theme of the story “Hills like White Elephants” is and also to explain how the point of view, setting and symbolism in the story contribute to the stories theme.…
