The tunnel in the story can best be said to be symbolic of the _____.

Alexeev081 [22]

"Through the Tunnel" is a short story written by British author Doris Lessing, originally published in the American weekly magazine The New Yorker in 1955.

The story tells the adventures of Jerry, a young English boy, and his widowed mother who are on a vacation at a beach to which they have come many times in the past. Jerry and his mother try to please each other and not to impose too many demands. The mother is “determined to be neither possessive nor lacking in devotion,” and Jerry, in turn, acts from an “unfailing impulse of contrition — a sort of nobility.”

<u>In "Through the Tunnel", the actual passage through the rock tunnel becomes a coming-of-age passage for Jerry. Having accomplished his challenge, he returns to his mother's company, satisfied and confident of the future.</u> He does not feel it necessary to tell his mother of the monumental obstacle that he has overcome.

The tunnel in the story can best be said to be symbolic of the:

obstacles in life that lead to maturity

How does greed frame motives the criminal in black peter a red headed league

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

One of the more predominant themes in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories is man versus man. 'The Red-Headed League' is no exception. In addition, one finds themes of reason and greed as Sherlock prevents another crime based on minuscule evidence.

Man Versus Man

Based on the reputation Sherlock Holmes has garnered through literature and the movies, it is hard to imagine anyone presenting him with a difficult challenge. He has shown an aptitude to solve crimes and mysteries before the clues have even been revealed. In the story 'The Red-Headed League,' Sherlock confronts an individual with whom he has 'had one or two little turns.' These previous encounters provide incentive for Sherlock to capture this villain. It also enhances the theme of man versus man.

Sherlock must prevent the antagonist, John Clay, from stealing gold bullion from 'one of the principal London banks.' With John Clay's plan already in motion, Sherlock looks for clues that will help him develop a counter move. When Sherlock finally confronts John Clay, he admits that his 'idea was very new and effective.' Clay, in turn, gives credit to Sherlock for having 'done the thing very completely. I must compliment you.' Although they go at each other as adversaries, trying to outwit the other, when their conflict is resolved, they acknowledge the other's talents. But what drives this conflict?

Greed

Greed comes in to play in the story on two different fronts. The first is with the pawnbroker, Jabez Wilson. He becomes Sherlock's client. He explains to Sherlock that he has 'a business already,' but was still enticed by earning four pounds a week to 'copy out the Encyclopedia Brittannica.' When this supposed job terminates, Vincent is upset at losing 'four pound a week.' Despite having his own business and employing an assistant, he bemoans the loss of this additional, yet minimal, income. The lure of money creates his current predicament.

John Clay, Sherlock's adversary, is motivated by illegally acquiring thousands in gold bullion. John Clay is a habitual criminal who is known for being a 'murderer, thief, smasher, and forger.' Knowing that all that gold sits unattended in the cellar of a bank is too big of a lure for a criminal such as Clay. It motivates him to contrive a plan to lure out the pawnbroker from his house so he can dig a tunnel from that basement to the bank. All in an effort to become rich. Greed motivates both characters to act in a manner that places them in some difficulty.

Man Versus Self

Sherlock is known for his adherence to, and belief in, logic. This practice is evident as he makes his observations while attempting to solve the mystery behind the red-headed league. Watson mentions to Sherlock at the conclusion of the story that he 'reasoned it out beautifully.' Watson also notes that Sherlock's 'exactness and astuteness represented. . . the reaction against the poetic and contemplative mood which occasionally predominated him.' With these words, Watson indicates that there is a conflict within Sherlock in which reason battles against his artistic nature.

In 'The Red-headed League' Sherlock attends a performance 'gently waving his long, thin fingers in time to the music.' He is enthralled by the music. It isn't until the 'lust of the chase would suddenly come upon him, and that his brilliant reasoning power would rise.' Sherlock needs cases such as this to engage his reasoning prowess. Perhaps he uses music as a means to balance the two sides of his personality, but when he goes without the mental challenge, it wears on him, and he finds life to be a bit dull and boring.

What is the hourglass style of reporting? Why would a reporter use this style?

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The hourglass structure is one such device. A story shape that journalists can employ when they have news to report and a story to tell. Earlier this week, I listened to Christine Martin, dean of West Virginia’s Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism, describe the form to Poynter’s summer fellows as a useful tool for reporters searching for a form.The best stories often create their own shape; writers consider their material, determine what they want the story to say, and then decide on the best way to say it.But journalists, like all writers, sometimes rely on tried-and-true forms and formulas: the inverted pyramid, the “five boxes” approach, the nut graf story. You need to be familiar with these forms whether or not you decide to write your story in a completely new way.“Formulaic writing has gotten a bad name,” says Poynter Online Editor Bill Mitchell, a veteran reporter and editor. “Done right, it diverts creatively from formula in ways that serve the needs of the story at hand. Tying the reporting, as well as the writing, to the form lends a discipline and focus that produce better stories.”The hourglass was named by my colleague Roy Peter Clark in 1983 after he had begun to notice something new in his morning paper.Clark was a likely discoverer. A college English literature professor-turned-newspaper writing coach and reporter, he used his skills as a literary scholar and his experience in the newsroom to deconstruct the form.In an article published in the Washington Journalism Review (since renamed American Journalism Review), he described this form and gave it a distinctive name: the hourglass. It provided an alternative, Clark said, “that respects traditional news values, considers the needs of the reader, takes advantage of narrative, and spurs the writer to new levels of reporting.”Clark said the hourglass story can be divided into three parts:Here you deliver the news in a summary lead, followed by three or four paragraphs that answer the reader’s most pressing questions. In the top you give the basic news, enough to satisfy a time-pressed reader. You report the story in its most concise form. If all that is read is the top, the reader is still informed. Because it’s limited to four to six paragraphs, the top of the story should contain only the most significant information.Here you signal the reader that a narrative, usually chronological, is beginning. Usually, the turn is a transitional phrase that contains attribution for the narrative that follows: according to police, eyewitnesses described the event this way, the shooting unfolded this way, law enforcement sources and neighbors agree.The hourglass can be used in all kinds of stories: crime, business, government, even to report meetings. It’s best suited, however, for dramatic stories that can be told in chronological fashion. In the right hands, as the following story from The Miami Herald illustrates, the hourglass is a virtuoso form that provides the news-conscious discipline of the inverted pyramid and the storytelling qualities of the classic narrative.
