“It is not so simple as that either. As so frequently would be the case in the future‚ Dexter was unconsciously dictated to by his winter dreams.” This quote is from the last paragraph in section one of “Winter Dreams”‚ the small little phrase goes on to set the whole theme of the short story‚ and very early on gives us a look at Dexters desire for wealth‚ beautiful women‚ and a good time.

down her book momentarily as she regained her composure. I asked her what was she reading that had her laughing so hard. She told me it was a book by an author named Sister Soulja called “The Coldest Winter Ever.” With a scrunched up face and through squinted eyes I asked “you’re reading about winter?” With a soft chuckle she replied “No‚ that is the name of the main character.” That intrigued my interest because I never heard of anyone being named after a season before. So I asked her to tell

Winter Dreaming of a Socratic Seminar The Socratic Seminar was an educational and enlightening experience. Before the day of the seminar I was a bit apprehensive and was not sure whether the class‚ or I for that matter‚ would participate much or learn much. After the class I felt great about the experience and learned a lot‚ it was good to have a conversation with my fellow classmates about the story in a relaxed atmosphere. I was confused on several aspects of the story and wanted to discuss several

The poems “Daystar” by Rita Dove and “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden share many similar themes. The main theme that these two poems share is being unappreciated. Both narrators used specific language and imagery to support this theme. In the poem “Those Winter Sundays” the father is described to wake up every morning even on Sundays also‚ to warm the house up for his child. He worked all week doing labor and “No one ever thanked him” is a hint that people around him were very unappreciative

Fitzgerald’s short story is unique in comparison to other modernist works as he takes a longer timeframe to express his message. The story begins with Dexter as a young teenager and ends with him being in his late twenties to early thirties. Nonetheless‚ the story underlines

reflect. Robert Hayden’s “Those Winter Sundays” is a good example of a poem that helped me put my own father’s life‚ and his role in my life‚ in perspective. It’s a process that’s been happening as he slowly faded over the past few years‚ and will continue as the grass grows over his grave. (A friend‚ unfortunately‚ does the same thing with “My Papa’s Waltz” by Theodore Roethke. You can go to the Poetry Foundation page here for that sad poem.)
