    In the story “Searching for Summer”‚ Joan Aiken uses diction and imagery to show how the moods change from depressing in the town to happy in the country. Aiken uses imagery to describe the sky as “whitish gray‚ day after day‚ sometimes darking to weeping slate” (68). The author compares sky to crying without the sun shining. The reader can conclude that without the sun‚ the town would be dark and depressing. Another way Aiken uses imagery in the story to describe the houses is when she states “dimmest

    • 2 Pages

    I would consider the summer of 2014 to be the best and worst summer of my life. A friend and I had saved money all year so that as soon as the biggest accomplishment of our life was achieved we could treat ourselves to Myrtle Beach‚ South Carolina. There is nothing better than sand between your toes‚ and waves crashing into you after finishing thirteen years of the public school system. All of that sounds really great except for the fact that I am extremely terrified of sea life. This specific beach

    A&P by John Updike is a story of adolescent mystery and somewhat naïve voyeur romanticism‚ so I chose the most common medium of the voyeur: the photograph. With the following photographs‚ like the subjects of the story‚ I intended to show a young girl in positions both public and private‚ intimate and vulnerable‚ as a meditation on the themes of the story. The first picture is one of the girl checking her phone in a train station‚ smiling at some private context and untranslatable moment on her

    Summer Solstice

    • 5 Pages

    Nick Joaquin’s “Summer Solstice” is one of the many intoxicating stories he’s made. It could have been attributed to the author’s state of mind while writing his stories. He shares this kind of style with Edgar Allan Poe and Ernest Hemingway. They love to drink and write. I love to drink and drink… milk. I wish I am still a child to enjoy it for free where only my cry is my ticket to getting it. This maybe the reason why I still have this magnetic attraction to breasts. I must admit‚ I’m not in

    “A&P’ by John Updike is a very comical short story. When I read this story for the first time I laughed the whole time but I also felt bad for Sammy towards the end. Sammy says “ I said I quit” Sammy ended up quitting his job just because he thought that the three girls were being treated very unfairly. It was hilarious when Sammy quit his job then he went to the parking lot to find the girls but they were not there. Sammy believed that the store manager Lengel wasn’t treating the three girls fairly
