    Katie Haegele’s book, Slip of the Tongue: Talking About Language, is an interesting analysis on how people interact with language in their daily lives. It is told through a series of personal anecdotes, which allows the reader to get a much more personal sense for the things Haegele analyzes. While overall the book was enjoyable and even enlightening at times, it lacked cohesiveness, both in terms of subject and chronologically.…

    | Rose bush grows in such an unlikely place to offer comfort to prisoners entering the jail and forgiveness from Nature to those leaving it to die on the scaffold. The rosebush by the window of the prison is wild. It symbolizes freedom from the confinement of society. These soft, red roses offer a small but bold contrast to the strict, black and white world of the puritans. The vibrant flowers give a splash of life to the monotonous, dreary scene…

    <br>2. (Page 50) The rose-bush, by a strange chance, has been kept alive in history; but whether it had merely survived out of the stern old wilderness, so long after the fall of the gigantic pines and oaks that originally overshadowed it, --or whether, as there is fair authority for believing, it had sprung up under the footsteps of the sainted Anne Hutchinson, --we shall not take upon us to determine. I believe these lines are important because they illustrate some of the mythology of the times in which this book was set. The author also goes on to describe how this rose bush could symbolize two different things depending on the readers perspective; A tale of morals blossoming; or a tale of human frailty and sorrow.…

    ‘Blackberry Picking’ by Heaney, is a chronological and descriptive poem in which the poet uses a nostalgic tone to recall his childhood world of ‘Blackberry Picking’. The poet begins with a pathetic fallacy “Late August” which directly reflects the attitude portrayed in the poem by creating a happy atmosphere even though it is the end of summer as blackberries ripen in late summers in which children gather and collect enough blackberries to fill a whole bath but cannot eat them all. The action of Blackberry picking illustrates the loss of innocence as one enters the stage of puberty and discovers new feelings which can be portrayed through the quote “Blackberries would ripen” in which the maturity of a youth which its pleasures are experienced by the tasting of the blackberries is highlighted. A semantic field of religion also adds to the concept of loss of innocence, with lexical choices such as “thickened wine” and “summer’s blood” which is a clear reference to Jesus Christ’s flesh and blood in which he sacrificed his life for us as well as the children’s sacrifice on giving up their childhood to a…

    Hawthorne uses many different negative variations of plant imagery to illustrate his ideas. First of all, living plant life, portraying the torturing of Dimmesdale by Chillingworth, remains evident throughout the novel. For example, when Chillingworth went to the forest to gather herbs he "dug up roots and plucked off twigs from the forest trees" (111) which symbolizes how Chillingworth was "plucking" the life out of Dimmesdale limb by limb. Also, Hawthorne describes grass as pure and without weeds to kill the grass; however, "when poor Mr. Dimmesdale was thinking of his grave, he questioned with himself whether the grass would ever grow on it, because an accursed thing must there be buried" (131). In addition, weeds symbolize secrecy and the impurity of society. During Chillingworth and Dimmesdale's covert discussion about "the powers of nature call[ing] so earnestly for the confession of sin,[and discussing] that these black weeds have sprung up out of a buried heart, to make manifest an unspoken crime" (120) illustrates the idea of weeds filling the heart with sin and guilt. Moreover, "the black flower of civilized society" (45-46) refers to the Puritans harsh attitude towards sinners as they view Hester's punishment. Most importantly, the imagery used with leaves allows for different interpretations. "Thou shalt forgive me! cried Hester,…
