What type of irony is it when everyone expects A but B

The SIFT Method of Liteary Analysis with "Eveline"

AlexFokin [52]

One of the symbols James Joyce uses as a resource is the sea. This symbols appears at the end of the story, when Eveline seems not to be able to take a decision. The meaning of the symbol is the unknown. When he writes "all the seas of the world tumbled about her heart", Joyce tells us that Eveline felt the anguish of not knowing what would happen to her if she chose to elope with Frank. The seas of the world represent seven negative feelings, among which it is uncertainty. The author chooses to use the sea as a symbol of desolation because when you set off into it, you never know if you are going to come back. When we think about the sea, we think about a journey, so coming back is implied. Therefore, she may assume that she would have to come back some day and that she was not going to be welcome back in her own land. Leaving her father, although he was abusive, would have been considered a serious offense by Dubliners of the beginning of the twentieth century.

One of the items of imagegy used by Joyce is the odour of dusty cretonne. By this smell, defined as odour with the negative connotation that word has, the author intends to make us feel the same disgust Eveline is feeling at the end of another day in which more of the same old story was what she had to live. The fact that the cretonne is "dusty" gives us the idea of old, dirty and fadded. All these adjectives are the ones that also describe her life.

There is a personification used at the beginning of the story. It is when he writes "... the evening invade de avenue". The author gives the evening the power of a person when he states that it performs the action of invading. In this case, his intention is to show that even an abstract thing is stronger than the weakened and tired Eveline. She is not only tired in the physical sense, but specially in the moral one. The evening approaches and it does not only "invade" the street, but also her existence.

The tone of the story is sad. The only hope Joyce put in Eveline's life is the presence of Frank. Everything about her past and present, apart from her boyfriend, implies desolation, pain and sorrow. Fear also appears as an important element regarding the tone of the story. All her siblings and also herself, were afraid of their father. At the end of the story, Eveline is afraid of the people of the community, that is one of the reasons why she decides to stay. What is almost paradoxical is that she's afraid of Frank, the man who she was sure could save her.

2. Read the Top Gear article. Complete each space with 'm, is, are or will/won't.

I'm staying in this evening because my favourite programme is on TV at 8 p.m. Tonight's Top Gear programme 1) is showing a very unusual race. The TV presenters 2) are racing two amazing, expensive vehicles: a Bugatti Veyron, which costs about £880,000, and a Eurofighter Typhoon plane, wich costs £67 million! The car will drive 1.6 kilometers along an airport runway, and then it will turn round and race back. The plane 3) will fly 1.6 kilometres straigh up into the sky and then it 4) will turn around and race back down to Earth!

At top speed, the Veyron will reach about 400 kilometres per hour. The Typhoon 5) will travel at about 2400 kilometres per hour! Which vehicle will win? Nobody knows, but it definitely 6) won't be boring! I 7) 'm looking forward to it!

3. Write one to four words to complete the sentences about the article.

I can't see the sentences that you have to complete.

4. Write about what car/transport you will have when you're older. Think about these things:

What type of car or transport will you have?
What colour will it be?
How much will it cost?

Will your parents/friends like it?

When I'm older I will have a Jeep (Wrangler). It will be colour black, because I like how it shines in black. Right now it costs about £21,921 but I think it'll be more expensive when I buy it. Everyone will like it!
