    In Anton Chekov’s “The Lady with the Dog”, Chekov uses direct language along with slight descriptions to dictate the setting. However, the main purpose for the settings of Yalta and Moscow are to influence Gurov’s motives and feelings. The atmosphere that Gurov is open to is infectious. The locations of Yalta and Moscow represent two different ideologies in Gurov’s life. Yalta expands on the mischievousness and romantic aspects of Gurov while in Moscow the boring and mundane life of Gurov is exhibited. The location called S. is brief, but also entails a rebellious attitude. The plot overall is pushed forward by the chronological change in venue.…

    There are several artist and paintings in the Sharon Patton book. To choose one particular landscape painting would be tough. Moreover, in choosing this painting and discussing why I think black artists may have used these landscape paintings as a means of expression during the abolitionist movement can be possible to do so. Within several of these landscape paintings, I do believe that I see possible hidden messages. An important topic in question would be if these particular artists during the abolitionist movement simply avoided the grim realities of slavery in America or not. The one that I believe hits all of these angles would be the landscape painting Land of the Lotus Eaters by Robert S. Duncanson.…

    Ivan Petrovich Pushkin

    • 196 Words
    • 1 Page

    The Tales of Ivan Petrovich Belkin by Alexander Pushkin are rather unique in their content. The stories within are of little importance and the content serves as tools of the narrators. The stories are celebrating and critiquing, the very act of storytelling. In many ways the hero of the stories is the act of storytelling, paradoxically, the villain is also the act of storytelling. However, the writer is not the only storyteller being celebrated and critiqued, the reader, and the way the reader emplots the story, becomes an important element throughout the narrative. The lines between author and storyteller is blurred and questioned. The editors introduction states that Ivan himself admitted that the tales were not his own creation, but told…
