Answer and Explanation:
We cannot mention the experiences that King had during his life, without mentioning the moment when he witnessed his friend being hit and killed by a train, when he was a child. Although King claims that it did not influence him at all, we cannot fail to affirm that this is the moment of horror that he lived and that is directly related to his work, but that he can have an influence, even if it is only in the subconscious of King, being exposed when he allows his characters to experience shocking and traumatic moments.
Another experience that King had was the economic difficulty in supporting a family. King married and had children in his youth and had many difficulties in being able to support his family economically. He and his family went through many hardships in relation to money and because of that, King had to deal with the uncertainty and fear of what the future would hold for them. This may have influenced King's work to present very human characters, that in addition to facing supernatural problems, they must deal with real problems of adult life. This allows many readers to identify with the characters.
One last experience to be mentioned is the problem that King faced with alcoholism and drug addiction. This may have been King's most difficult experience, as it made him lose track of reality, a good relationship with his children and wife and the dominance of his life. King's characters constantly deal with these factors, which shows that much of what he writes reflects King's own problems, which makes the work even more palatable, as he manages to write about something he really knows.
Answer:
Woolf's word choices that suggests that Oliver is preoccupied with how others see him is "looked down"
Below is an excerpt:
<em>"...And from the middle window he </em><em>looked down </em><em>upon the glossy roofs of fashionable cars packed in the narrow straits of Piccadilly."</em>
This suggests that he had a sense of how others see him. The same word choices that revealed that he is preoccupied with how others see him is also seen in line 16 of "The Duchess And The Jeweller":
<em> "...and he would </em><em>look down</em><em> at his legs, so shapely in their perfect trousers; at his boots; at his spats. They were all shapely, shining;..."</em>
Explanation:
The question is culled from "The Duchess And The Jeweller" written by Virginia Woolf.
The short story is centered on a jeweller known as Oliver Bacon who is the only developed character. The story has a reflection of the English society as seen during Woolf's time. The jeweller, Oliver is seen as an ambitious and arrogant man. He became one of the high-ups in the society and lived at Piccadilly, the most expensive place in London.
Adeline Virginia Woolf is the author of "The Duchess And The Jeweller". She is an English writer who is considered to have pioneered and led the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device.
The tone of this article is highly critical towards those who complain about the challenges and adversities that life brings upon them, or that they bring upon themselves, and, instead of seeing them as opportunities to surpass themselves and even excel, they focus on feeling sorry for themselves, and expect others to feel the same way about them. They adopt a conformist attitude that might be reflecting a lack of confidence or a limited capability. Furthermore, the tone of the article is outspoken yet encouraging. Life may not be fair, and it is certainly not easy, particularly for some people, but a positive attitude and personal drive can go a long way to make the most out of it.
