Maestro By Peter Goldsworthy
... - mostly from Herr Keller. At the beginning of the novel, we are introduced to a young, arrogant, smug, self-congratulatory boy who was proclaimed to be a musical prodigy by his parents. At first, Paul looks down on herr Keller and his seemingly ridiculous ways. Paul had never encountered such an eccentric or bizarre piano teacher before, and immediately ridiculed his methods. He felt that he was too good to be taught by Herr Keller, when in fact it was because he felt belittled by him. This arrogance is shown when herr Keller finally lets him play the piano on their 8th lesson.
"He fossicked among his own music for a few moments, finally emerging with a copy ...

Usage Of Elements Of Fiction I
... one right after the other. "A Rose for Emily" is not told in this manner. Faulkner starts out with Emily's death and then flashes back to many different events that happen during Emily's life. This creates gaps in the story about Emily's life that must be filled in with flashbacks.
"A Rose for Emily" is in essence five different flashbacks combined together to form one story. Faulkner flashes back to the time when a deputation tried to collect on her taxes. This flashback is used to describe the lifestyle Emily has been living for the past years and also the appearance that Emily has taken on as a result of staying in the house. Emily's hereditary obliga ...

Character Analysis Of Prospero
... rape Miranda, Prospero does not get rid of him. If I were Prospero, I would have a severe monthly payment punishment-plan installed for Caliban. Near the end of the play, after Properso reveals the conspiracies of all those against him, there is no harsh punishment as one would imagine. He basically just demands repentance. Forgiveness is one of the themes in this play, and here Prospero demonstrates it. Even though Caliban conspires with Stephano and Trinculo to kill him, he refrains from punishing Caliban (“Go, sirrah, to my cell;/Take with you your companions. As you look/To have my pardon, trim it handsomely.” 5.ii.291-293).

Disjunction Vs. Communion In Raymond Carver's Short Stories
... his short stories which either draw the reader into or
away from the meaning. These relations make certain writings in Carver's stories
more interesting.
More directly, it is the communion in his later writings, and the
disjunction in his earlier writings, that distinguish the two types of styles.
Communion within the characters of Carver's later writings, as in his
collections in Cathedral, create much more depth and interest in his stories.
It is within this scope of communion that Carver's stories seem to become more
fulfilling with character affirmation.
Communion occurs in Carver's stories when several conditions are
satisfied. The differen ...

Leguins Omelas
... aren’t given names or descriptions of these people, so that we may relate to them as the “every person.” Yet it comes to an end. Theme and plot collide into one sentence. The crux of Omelas. Le Guin asks if one can truly believe in Omelas. The reader finds himself/herself asking if the first part of the text is truly conceivable. The theme then takes over asking if one could accept the conditions that Omelas “happily” lives under. The plot then allows enough room for the reader to imagine the living conditions under which the child lives in with “a little light seeping in dustily between cracks in the boards.”
The c ...

To The Snake By Denise Leverto
... can’t handle. In other words this person can’t get control of money, instead the want of money is controlling them. This introduces the idea of gambling into the poem. In the poem it says, “…I swore to my companions that certainly you were harmless!”, which is the typical statement of people addicted to gambling. Once again there is the control factor. This person can not control their desire for money and, the means of getting the money, gambling. Another important syntax technique can be seen in line 12. The poem says “…for that joy, which left a long wake of pleasure…” The words “which left ...

Arcadia
... allow the reader to see similarities in ideas between the Romantic era and the present day. Religious determinism in is shown to have to do with God/fate, predestination, and the future whereas the scientific view has to do with Newton, and with biological determinism. Although both stories do use both aspects of determinism, it is usually the story from 1809 using the scientific determinism whereas in the present day, they use more of the religious view of determinism.
