The effect of the speaker hearing about the statue from the traveller as opposed to seeing it with his own eyes is. It helps emphasize how the story is a tale that is being passed on to the reader, indicating that there is a message to be heeded.
Even though “Ethan
Frome”, novel by Edith Wharton, was written over a hundred year ago, it is
still widely read today because the theme of the story is world-wide and
all-time relevant. This universality of the theme, representing the society and
morality as an obstacle to fulfill desires (in this case love), makes “Ethan
Frome” relevant a hundred years after and it would probably still be relevant
in future, as it’s close to every human’s heart.
Both “Romeo and Juliet”
by William Shakespeare and “Ethan Frome” by Edith Wharton deal with the problem
of society and morality as an obstacle to fulfill certain desires, which is in
both cases forbidden love. Considering the theme, both “Romeo and Juliet” and “Ethan
Frome” have the same tragic tone, but the ends show how different and twisted destiny
can be.
<span>The love story of Ethan
Frome and Mattie is still relevant today, after a hundred years, and probably
will stay relevant in future as the theme of the story is on universal level of
human struggle with feelings, social norms and morality. </span>
Answer:
Fifty years ago last January, George C. Wallace took the oath of office as governor of Alabama, pledging to defy the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision prohibiting separate public schools for black students. “I draw the line in the dust,” Wallace shouted, “and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever” (Wallace 1963).
Eight months later, at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, Martin Luther King Jr. set forth a different vision for American education. “I have a dream,” King proclaimed, that “one day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.”
Wallace later recanted, saying, “I was wrong. Those days are over, and they ought to be over” (Windham 2012).
They ought to be over, but Wallace’s 1963 call for a line in the dust seems to have been more prescient than King’s vision. Racial isolation of African American children in separate schools located in separate neighborhoods has become a permanent feature of our landscape. Today, African American students are more isolated than they were 40 years ago, while most education policymakers and reformers have abandoned integration as a cause.
