Some may read the last line as jovially dismissive as the rest of the speaker’s dismissals to this point—a “whatever‚” to use modern parlance. But what is strange in this tercet are the two words that the speaker has avoided mentioning: “lovely” and “miss.” Why “lovely” and not any other adjective—one that could suggest size‚ like “massive‚” or prestige‚ like “central?” They may not be the prettiest examples‚ but they avoid emotion‚ for the most part. So why leave the door open for an

My Grandfather’s Lovely Visit As a child‚ I didn’t get to see my grandfather that often because he lived in a different town than we did. When he did come for a visit‚ it was amazing. His entire being was enthralling to me; he had a signature smell‚ which was a mixture of aloe plants and new writing paper just out of its plastic package. His appearance was always so fastidious; I used to imagine that he went through a gigantic starching press with his clothes‚ as their stiff cleanliness seemed to

Analysis of A Rose for Emily A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner tells the story of a stubborn‚ elderly woman who everyone suspects murdered Homer Barron. Miss Emily Grierson‚ stuck in the ways of the old South‚ refused to confirm to the new generation’s laws. The author keeps the audience engaged with foreshadowing and symbolism.

Analysis on Irony Text: “The Nightingale and the Rose” by Oscar Wilde Situational Irony is very evident in “The Nightingale and the Rose”. The outcome of the story is far from what readers expect. First‚ the readers would assume that there is actually true love between the student and the Professor’s daughter and that the in the end of a story lies a happy ending for the two. From the introduction to almost the end of the story (except the last 6 paragraphs from 57-62)‚ the author tries

Criticizing “A Rose for Emily” Although it is only six pages long ‚ “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner has gained a lot of attention from critics. The story has been interpreted in numerous ways. Myself I consider the story to be very interesting as well as complex if you are a reader who tends to drift off in thought as I do. I consider the story to be a horror story in a way with a surprising twist. William Faulkner has written a lot of stories and out of the ones I have read this has to be

The Nightingale and the Rose (analysis) How would you describe love? If you were to explain it to someone‚ how would you do it? Although love‚ like every other emotion‚ is different from person to person‚ I believe that this short story‚ The Nightingale and the Rose‚ does a pretty good job of describing it. Two points of view are presented in this story: the one from the nightingale and the one form the student. The most romantic and loving character is of course this sweet little bird who
