Shaun Tan's The Red Tree almost defies any rational classification. To the ear it reads as a sparsely written children's book, but to the eye the book's lavish depictions of isolation and despair require a much deeper analysis.…
A major factor in how “Songs of Willow Frost” is so great is that it’s very relatable and that stems from the abundancy of visible truth, thus allowing an unveiling of moments that can be related to by different persons, as well as the element of two relatively different protagonists, which allows for a greater spectrum of relatability. I was originally interested in the culture and society of Seattle in the early 1900s as told from an oriental point of view rather than from an African-American, which is what dominates the history portions of novels written about or during that time, and as…

In the excerpt from the short story “A White Heron”, Jewett turns an ordinary event into an extraordinary adventure by illustrating the grandeur of the tree. In the beginning of the excerpt, Jewett describes the setting of the story, and explains how this one particular pine tree stands at the highest point in the woods. She explains how this pine tree is possibly left by the woodcutters as a boundary mark, and is “the last of its generation” (Excerpt from “A White Heron” (2). As Jewett describes the tree, readers sense that the tree is valuable and different from the rest of the trees in the woods. It evokes curiosity from the readers as to what will happen to this tree, and readers get the sense that this tree is valuable and unique. This tree which is ordinary turns into something extraordinary. Towards the middle of the introduction Jewett describes how the tree towers over all the other trees in the woods. Jewett goes on to explain how the tree makes a “landmark for sea and shore miles and miles away” (Excerpt from “A White Heron” (6). Jewett describes the tree as if it is like a sky scrapper, and gives readers a visual perspective on how the tree looks like. By showing the…

Like Janie’s hair, the pear tree and horizon serve as a metaphoric symbol throughout the novel. Janie lays under the pear tree to look at the horizon, she sees a bee and a flower in their own happiness and wants to find that for herself “She…
The horizon and the pear tree are both symbols of Janie’s deeper longing to connect. Janie expects to find the love with Joe, but he takes away her voice and classes her off which causes her “to have no more blossomy openings dusting pollen over her man” (72). When Joe dies Janie starts to “lie awake in bed asking lonesomeness some questions” (89). She contemplates going back to where she came from to tend to her grandmother’s grave. Janie digs around inside herself and realizes that “[s]he hated her grandmother and had hidden it from herself all these years under a cloak of pity” (89). This is the moment when Janie really grasps how conflicted she is with Nanny’s wishes for her life. She believes that “Nanny had taken the biggest thing God ever made, the horizon…and pinched it in to such a little bit of a thing that she could tie it about her granddaughter’s neck tight enough to choke her” (89). Janie “done lived Grandma’s way,” but she decides to go to the horizon and find that the love she…
