Berryman sought solace from his father’s suicide‚ his own suicidal thoughts and his failed marriages. In Dreamsong ‘29’‚ Berryman writes; “There sat down‚ once‚ a thing on Henry’s heart só heavy‚ if he had a hundred years & more… Henry could not make good”. The “thing” on Henry’s heart‚ is an odd choice of word. It is a very general use of language‚ and on the surface it gives nothing away. However the “thing” is referring to the suicide of Berryman’s own father. This shows that Berryman never

The importance of discussing sexual desires within a marriage January 26‚ 2013 On Chesil Beach‚ by Ian McEwan shows a reader the adverse effect on a marriage when sexual wants‚ desires‚ fears and expectations are not openly discussed prior to engaging in sexual acts. The lack of communication by the characters causes them to end their marriage less than 24 hours after taking their vows. While I agree that sexual relationships in a marriage are vital; they are not the tell all of a long-lasting

Comparative Essay McEwan and Williams focus on what it means to be both powerful and powerless in a variety of contexts. Discuss their exploration of these ideas with reference to both male and females.

How does McEwan tell the story in chapter 9? McEwan uses a different perspective to the rest of the novel‚ he uses a form of 3rd person narrative but solely Clarissa as his chosen subject‚ he also tells the reader this at the start‚ “ It would make more sense of Clarissa’s return to tell it from her point of view.” McEwan uses this to singularly show movements of Clarissa‚ because up until then Joe’s perspective has been the main focus‚ and not any other characters. This way McEwan is able to

Chapter 7 – McEwan storytelling We start the chapter with a description of Parry through Jed “No longer the Indian brave‚ despite the pony-tail”. McEwan really sets the scene with this as it gives us a clear picture of how Parry actually is. Shortly afterwards Jed’s scientific side comes out as he starts to re-assure himself that Parry is really harmless and that is was the accident that clouded his judgement. We feel a sense of relief as we now are told Parry is not threat as he is a “harmless
