    I chose a rose as the symbol because the author used direct characterization to describe the princess as semi- savage. The rose represents this well, the rose is beautiful, delicate, and proud, but to do this it must be tended to. This is where the semi savage part comes in her father the king is full savage and this affected the princess, because she was savage though she was semi savage. The leaves and her design represent her semi savageness because she grows a bit differently than her father it represents her uniqueness. Another thing that represents her semi savageness are the thorns, she is beautiful but if you try to pick her up and she doesn't want to picked her thorns sting you, but here is the thing she can twist and leave her spot…

    Francis Russell once said “fiction evocative of a sublime and picturesque landscape… depict(ing) a world in ruins.” Gothic fiction can be characterized by the elements of fear, horror or the supernatural. Other elements that characterize this type of fiction might include darkness mystery, or romance, lust and even dread. William Faulkner’s short story “A Rose for Emily” uses a gothic setting to describe Miss Emily’s home. The upstairs and the outside of the house shows the darkness romance and lust of the setting in which she lived.…

    Chris Colfer’s novel The Land of Stories: The Enchantress Returns tells the story of two 12-year-old twins, Alex and Connor Bailey, who went on an adventure to save their mother, and perhaps the world, against the will of their grandmother. The Enchantress, the witch who tried to kill Sleeping Beauty, attempted to take over The Land of Stories and the Otherworld (the land where the common people live). I admired Alex for her bravery and intelligence which she showed when she was trying to save her mother and the Fairy-Tale World.…

    Regardless of millions of tragic roles in the literacy history, about eighty years ago, William Faulkner, who was an American Nobel prize laureate in literature, intended to mold the most gorgeous, but miserable one, Miss Emily Grierson. Emily was the tragic protagonist in William’s short story, A Rose for Emily, constantly criticized by the town people because she steadfastly refused to accept the modern ideas and the fluctuations in her life. Despite the rose, which is generally accepted as a symbol of Emily in the story, was eventually dusty and musty, the development of the short story would never generate a repulsive sense toward the rose. Instead, the author utilized his uncanny knack, symbolisms, to ornament and perfume his unique rose in a marvelous way. Or even, the author was seemingly endeavoring to irrigate and fertilize his garden by symbolizing certain objects, characters, and events. And so, he could not only provide profound meanings and deeper cohesiveness of the story to the reader, but…

    A female’s words can often be silenced as a result of inequalities and injustices that directly relate to the nature of her gender. While the act of silencing is not always explicitly oppressive, silencing is used to assert power over another individual as a means to humiliate, ridicule, or belittle them. In relation to a male-female juxtaposition, women are often silenced by a male or group of males who are attempting to declare a sense of authority over the individual or situation. In this instance, female oppression is occurring as a means of reaffirming male gender dominance. The literary works, “I Sit and Sew” by Alice Moore Dunbar-Nelson, “Sweat” by Zora Neale Hurston, and “Roselily” by Alice Walker, depict silencing of women as a result…

He does this by manipulating the plot, which gives a perplex understanding on how the south cannot get over the outcome of the war that had already ended.…
