    Larkin’s use of alliteration when unfolding the content, that of Bleaney’s room, ‘flowered curtains, thin and frayed, Fall to within five inches of the sill’(l.3-4) creates an ironic bleak description of the things which presumably once surrounded Mr Bleaney; this contrasts the function of alliteration as its usually used in a playful manner. Using such a feature allows some light-heart, creating a rhythmic flow to the poem, despite the dismal atmosphere being presented. Larkin uses alliteration quite a few times in Mr. Bleaney, ‘Behind the door, no room for books or bags’ (l.9) signifying that the room in which he resided in was so box size that there was no space for leisure or anything exciting, not even behind the door where it may not…

    The poet Maya Aneton once said “It [is] one of the greatest gifts [a person] can give [him or herself] to forgive. Forgive everybody.” It is difficult sometimes for people to forgive themselves for past issues or transgressions. The result often becomes an inability to exculpate others as well. However, if a person can seek forgiveness, then happiness will become more apparent in his or her life. In the novel The Secret Life of Bees, Sue Monk Kidd demonstrates how contentment becomes prevalent in a person's life through the characters Lily and June once they seek forgiveness. Lily, a fourteen-year-old runaway white girl, not only struggles to forgive herself, but her father, T Ray, and her mother for their wrongdoings in her lifetime. Similarly, June, one of the Boatwright sisters that takes in Lily when she runs away, strives to pardon her ex fiance and Lily’s mother due to the undeserved way they treated June in her past.…

    Firstly, in Tennessee Williams’ “A Streetcar Named Desire”, the writer presents disconcerting behaviour throughout the text. Tennessee Williams uses Stanley to display different types of disturbing behaviour, and the events that occur due to his attitude. Stanley is presented having a masculine, animalistic nature, which includes his open violent behaviour. His animalistic nature is displayed when he ‘charges after Stella’, in scene three of the play, and when there is the ‘sound of a blow’ in the household, indicating that Stanley had physically hurt Stella so much causing her to cry. Critic, Michael Coveney explains that in the play ‘masculinity means aggression, control, physical dominance, and even violence.’ Tennessee Williams proves this point as Stanley is constantly in control and uses his masculinity to take charge in the household. The play as written in the 1950's and in that period of time men were known to have a more masculine and aggressive role in a relationship than our time, so even though the audience of this period of time may see Stanleys abusive actions as destructive and out of order, in the 60's these sort of scenario's would've 'happened already'.…

    Fig Wasps and Fig Trees

    • 561 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Fig wasps (Agaonidae) are a species of wasps that have a life span of a couple of days and could be as little as 2mm in length. Hence the name these wasps are sole pollinators of fig trees (Ficus), each fig tree species has its own particular wasp for pollination. Fig trees are totally dependent on fig wasps for pollination and have been for the past 60 million years, this shows that this process of pollinating is efficient and sustainable creating equilibrium between the two populations. Fig wasps also benefit from this unaware pollination as they only breed in the figs. So without the other party neither would survive and become extinct. If neither exists this would impact the ecosystem on a huge scale as other organism which depend on these two populations would be equally affected including habitats and disruptions in food chains which could lead to other problems. While some fig wasps benefit the fig tree and vise versa there are also non-pollinating fig wasps which are parasitic. Even so both kinds have a highly similar life cycle.…

    Since the foundation time in the United States the protestant culture has dominated the country. Today several people say that the globalization and the immigrants has end with the Anglo-conformism. The globalization helps to access to new information about other cultures, learn other languages and to travel around the world easier than before. The globalization sometimes promotes the localization, it is about to establish and adopt new costumes from other places. In fact, in the USA are a lot of subcultures, which are growing, and taking place, like Spanish or Chinese. Each culture has their own towns and a small economy in several states. The cultural diversity stars with little national minorities from other countries, so people think that very soon we will see the United Stated as a multi cultural country. But that is not enough to become the Unites States a multi cultural country. The WASP model has dominated the social structure of the United States. This model is assimilated for most cultures from immigrant and globalization effects. Furthermore, according to the Anglo-conformism, if any culture survives, it is excluding from the society. That is because; the WASP culture still dominated the country in several states and…
