The start is a 'low and intimate pink' which could suggest a hidden tension within the family home.

    Catcher in the Rye Analysis

    Catcher in the Rye takes place in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s, written in 1951 by J.D. Salinger. Salinger implores the reader to struggle alongside Holden Caulfield as protagonist and reader simultaneously explore the boundaries and meanings of childhood, innocence, and the duality of these two identities existing in tandem. Salinger has written Catcher in the Rye to preserve the struggle to find oneself, and the denial of one's growth, through loss, experience, and other various circumstances. Holden has many insights on typical topics. He believes that adults are corrupt, or “phonies” while children remain innocent. Holden is trapped in the ice between adulthood and childhood. Ice plays a big part in Catcher in the Rye. Holden questions where the ducks go when the water freezes over, indirectly questioning his own situation; he has been kicked out of a prep school, with nowhere to go for a while. Because of this, he has to leave his “habitat” and cross the “threshold” of childhood he is so accustomed to, and begin his journey in the real world.…

    1. Holden Caulfield, the main character in the novel The Catcher in the Rye, despises phonies, people depicted as corrupt and hypocritical characters, and though Holden appear to not be a phony, there are instances when he definitely does seem to be one.

    The Scarlet Ibis Pride Theme

    In general, many of these themes are linked to the narrator’s feelings of pride and how that can affect anyone in the real world. The overarching theme of the story is mainly how pride can be connected to things like embarrassment and even ashamedness when you either realize your errors or come to fail upon something you dearly looked forward to completing, both of which the narrator experiences throughout the story with Doodle. The narrator and even Doodle were deeply ashamed when they both realized Doodle would not be able to keep up with the other boys when he started school: “He had failed and we both knew it, so we started back home… We never spoke (What are the words that can solder cracked pride?)...”…

    The Consequences of Sin in the Scarlet Letter (portrayed through Hester, Chillingworth, and Dimmesdale.

    The Consequences of Sin in the Scarlet Letter (portrayed through Hester, Chillingworth, and Dimmesdale.

    The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, written in 1850, is a product of the literary struggle between Classicism and Romanticism. Classicism is based upon writing in a traditional tone that involves no emotion, while Romanticism is the idea of letting emotion flow through literary outlets, such as a novel. This struggle is plainly embodied in the character of Hester Prynne, who must contain her passionate personality to the guidelines placed before her in a strict Puritan society. Within a Puritan society, committing a sin is viewed as the worst possible thing one could do and one must be punished accordingly for it. "In The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne turned back to the age of his first American ancestor for a historical background against which to display a tragic drama of guilt--revealed and concealed, real and imagined--and its effects on those touched by the guilt" (Dictionary of Literary Biography, 3). Guilt is a strong after-effect of sin within The Scarlet Letter. The consequences and effects of sin are different to every person who commits one. The novel, The Scarlet Letter opens as the narrator states that Hester Prynne and the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale have committed adultery and that Hester has borne a child named Pearl. Hester is punished publicly for her sin of adultery by the placing of a scarlet letter on her breast and public humiliation, while Dimmesdale does not confess to the sin and is spared public scorning for it. Instead, Dimmesdale must seek inner redemption through physical beatings and praying, with little success. Hawthorne utilizes his novel to trace the less visible, long-range effects of a sin such as adultery, in the harsh setting of Puritan society through Arthur Dimmesdale, Roger Chillingworth, and Hester Prynne in order to illustrate how an obsession with vengeance or a devotion to atonement can destroy a person's spirit or personality.…

    Hope In The Scarlet Ibis By James Hurst

    “The doctor said that with his weak heart this strain would probably kill him, but it didn’t. He’d push himself up” (pg 351). Everyone thought that Doodle would die, including his doctor and his family, but he worked very hard with the help of his brother to prove those people wrong.
