coal-mining areas were harsh. One of England’s most famous poet Elizabeth Barrett’s poem “The Cry of the Children” (1843) convey her thoughts to an official report on child labor that describes children straining their bodies by working sixteen hours a day in horrible conditions. Victorian writers were more worried about social difficulties‚ unlike Romantics writers. In the opening lines of the first stanza‚ Browning asks “Do ye hear the children weeping‚ O my brother / Ere the sparrow comes with years

1) The language is magnificent. For a reader such as myself‚ who likes to get lost in tangential thoughts mid-sentence‚ Conrad offers a warm bath we can soak in. I often just let the sentences flow over me in waves of color and music (I usually read Faulkner this way too)‚ but if I want to stop and extract all the meaning from one of his dense little beauties I just pull the golden ribbon and what appears to be a knot of words opens up nicely. I have tried unraveling some of Faulkner’s and McCarthy’s

To Kill A Mockingbird—Response Harper Lee’s book‚ “To Kill a Mockingbird‚” is‚ in my opinion‚ a book with a diverse collection of messages‚ skillfully woven into an interesting and engaging story. It seems to me‚ though‚ that the book is very focused on symbolism. The symbol of mockingbirds is reoccurring in the book. It appears in the title‚ it is suggested in various characters and situations‚ and in parts of the book it is stated explicitly. For example‚ on page 90‚ Atticus told Scout and Jem

repeated to remind us‚ as readers‚ that most of Pip’s family is dead. The word ‘buried’‚ suggests that it happened some time ago and that he never knew them‚ which makes us feel pity and sympathy for the character. Pip talks about his life in the marsh country‚ where he resided by the river and near the sea. This could possibly highlight how Pip (small like a river)‚ may be connected to something greater than he could’ve ever imagined (like the sea). Dickens also uses some interesting vocabulary

Self-hatred can ruin your life if you let it control your thoughts and actions. This is one of the many themes in “Mirror Image” and I think it is the most important. Humans have a tendency to dislike themselves and only see their faults. The first sentence‚ “If only there were no mirrors” talks about how she doesn’t actually want to see how she looks and that life would be easier without seeing how you look all the time. Alice had a brain transplant and since she has a different body she has started
