O you mock me! Why‚ in the name of all my fathers’ gods Why can’t you wait till I am gone— Must you abuse me to my face? O my city‚ all your fine rich sons! And you‚ you springs of Dirce‚ Holy grove of Thebe‚ where chariots gather‚ You at least‚ you’ll bear me witness‚ look Unmourned by friends and forced by such crude laws I go to my rockbound prison‚ strange new tomb— Always a stranger‚ O dear god‚ I have no home on earth and none below Not with the living and not with the breathless

Richard Rodriguez’s essay “The Achievement of Desire” can be described as an autobiographical text in which the author includes some self analysis in comparison to what he describes as the only description of “myself”(Rodriguez p.547): The Uses of Literacy by Richard Hoggart.

His motif for doing this could be to make the reader reflect on the advantages and disadvantages

A Focus on Setting The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins (1868) Part 1 – Lines 1 to 16 From the very first description of the story’s setting‚ the audience is already presented with a comparison of mood to atmosphere. “Our house is high up in the Yorkshire coast” (line 1) is the very opposite of the “low cliffs of the loneliest and ugliest little bay” (line 3-4). This contrast in landscape cleverly demonstrates the characters’ contrast in mood‚ behaviors and mindsets. Although the word high may
