Introduction: a) Seasons in a year and how the seasons go along with the plot and Mikages emotions. b) The different types of kitchens Mikage goes to as the story develops shows the maturity level of Mikage and how it develops. c) The indoor and outdoor setting use from Yoshimoto. Yoshimoto uses the comparisons of life in the Tanabe household and Mikages encounters with the 'outside' world to show the difference between 'indoor' and 'outdoor' setting. Paragraph 1: -Yoshimoto uses the setting of certain scenes to show how a certain character like Mikage develops. A good example of this would be how the story goes through certain seasons of a year. Certain seasons can represent how Mikage feels, for summer Mikage feels happy and motivated whereas in winter Mikage feels pain and unhappiness. a) During winter she lost family members and felt pain and sorrow and was in a state of grief whereas in summer she was happy and started to turn her life by becoming more happy.

    Have you ever noticed that your mood tends to change with the seasons throughout the course of the year? In John Greenleaf Whittier’s “A Dream of Summer”, this very question has been shown to be true. From what I understand, “He loved nature, and was a strong believer that God controlled the extreme climates and temperatures in certain places on Planet Earth.” Mr. Whittier was also a Quaker, who like most Quakers placed an emphasis on a simple, happy life. In this poem we see how strongly he feels as if he is cold, barren, and lifeless if you will, in the winter. Yet as spring comes into play, he is awakened…

    Both authors make the reader feel the scenery move as they read on. They do this with the help of all sorts of personifaction, hyperbole, and many other figures of speech. For example, Jhon Muir may use personifaction to give the Yosemite more relatability, by giving it human characteristics. Timothy Severin will also use personifaction, however he also blends it in with hyperbole, to really draw out just how fierce Golbi Desert can be. All in all, The Incomparable Yosemite, and The Oriental Adventure are amazing examples of how to draw out the life of an…

    As a result of this, when someone reads the line, "I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer” (8) from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, they realize that it will be filled with the stories of “adulthood and romance and fulfillment and passion.” Seasons present significance in works of literature because they instill themselves in the reader’s emotions, affect the story’s plot, and produce a symbolic meaning.…

    The verb ‘tangled’ suggests something which is closely intertwined and difficult to break free from, which links to how roots, once broken, leave the plant in a state where no additional growth can occur. This relates to how despite Mikage’s attempts to move forward independently, she is still very closely linked to Yuichi, suggesting that without him, Mikage would struggle to grow. This shows how humans are similar to plants in that we require love and care in order to survive - another basal requirement for growth. Mikage notes the vases ‘full of spring blooms everywhere’; Yoshimoto uses the plants to mirror Mikage’s blooming. She is exposed to a different way of living which contrasts her previous feelings of isolation and loneliness. Connotations behind ‘spring’ are optimistic, which is supported by the idea that like during spring where vegetation starts to appear, opportunities for…

    The atmosphere of the setting for the story The Interlopers by Saki starts off and ends the same way as the characters within the story. The setting makes the mood as dark and gloomy, just like the two enemies in the story that are trying to kill one another and having a dispute over land they are both trying to claim. The setting changes as the nature around them beings to change and also becomes suspenseful. The ending to the story is a bit ironic because the two become friends, but they get attacked by a pack of wolves. The setting could really help determine what will happen in a story, and The Interlopers is a perfect example.…

    Comparing Literary Works

    As a common ground for my comparisons, I would like to compare three literary works, using the element of setting, in how the physical and social context, including the time, place and social environment frames the characters, creating an atmosphere conducive to the tone of the story. The setting plays an important role in the success of story, it sets the readers mood. A good writer’s description of a setting puts you right into the story. Sometimes the “intense description” of setting in a story can bring suspense with an eerie feeling, to a dark and dreary one. Often the author will use objects in the setting to symbolize different things in the story, helping to outline the general theme of the story, also to relate to the hardships or situations of the characters. The setting is the foundation and power of the story. If the setting is weak the story will be also. (Morgan.T. 2010). In analyzing the setting, the reader can get a lot of information about its themes and literary intent.…
