William Gilmore Simms deserve to be known and studied by many because he has good stories and his humor is good. His choice of topics, characterization, format and narrative power proves that Simms is a master storyteller.
Answer:
Realism, Ordinary Life, Quest for Spirituality
Explanation:
The features of the modern novel like realism, a quest for romantic love, an event of everyday life and frankness in sexual matters are exhibited in the story Araby. In the story, Joyce intends to portray the paralysis of modern life whether it is intellectual, or moral, or spiritual. The story is a depiction of everyday life of Mangan, an ordinary boy becoming an adult who looks back on a maturing experience of his youth. The boy is on a religious or spiritual quest while his sister represents a kind of goddess or an angel to him. The religious imagery indicates the absence of a spiritual vitality from Irish life. The emptiness, the decay and the banal dialogue show how religion is reduced to just empty ritual. The world of romance and imagination of the narrator is marred by the banal and tawdry world of actual experience. The final sentence shows the boy’s epiphany; he has known the absurdity of both Araby and his quest. The blind street and his trip to Araby appeared leading him to somewhere, but in reality, he stands where he began his quest.
Small Business
Explanation:
There's a lot of debate on why we should and shouldn't raise the minimum wage. Off the top of my head, I would say the reason not to raise the minimum wage is that it could affect small business owners. Basically, smaller businesses will be forced to pay their employees more money. Obviously that will hurt the owner financially and could ultimately lead the business to bankruptcy.
