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 <em>the odour of dusty cretonne</em>. 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.
Answer:
- The discovery of the French Nicolas Leblanc and Michel Chevreul on how to make soaps.
- The end of the luxury products tax on soap.
Explanation:
In 1800 the soap became a popular product widely used in practically all purposes. In addition to the concepts of hygiene and cleanliness having increased at that time, the discovery of the French Nicholas Leblanc and Michael Chevreul about the manufacture of soap, allowed this product to be seen in the markets in a more recurrent way. This is because the soap was laboriously manufactured, with difficult ingredients, however these two Frenchmen managed to develop an alternative manufacture that was fast and effective, allowing the soap to be made available to everyone.
In addition, it was during this period that the soap stopped being taxed as a luxury item, which left it with affordable prices for all families.
5 sentences:
Seeking revenge in modern society is not noble, but may be honorable to ones self. One may seek revenge to get back at someone for what they have done when they have felt powerless within themselves such as getting mistreated or socially rejected. In modern society revenge is not recongnized as it was once before. Nowadays revenge is ones feeling of honor within and to bring a sense of closure. If a person were to take something from another person, the other person would most likey want revenge to feel like they have the power to inflict pain on the one that has inflicted pain on them.
It's not the best but I hope that helps :)
UPDATED ON <u>NOT HONORABLE </u>
In my opinion revenge is not honourable even if it has to do with sacrificing your family because no matter what, family always comes first. Revenge is the epitome of evil. No matter who is involved with the devious acts of revenge, it is still evil and dishonourable within yourself. Especially when family is involved, they should come first and not ones internal anger driving him/her towards bad acts to satisfy an empty feeling. One should always put others before himself in order to achieve real honor within himself and for others respect.
Answer: It is a simple sentence.
Explanation:
Compound sentences contain a <em>FANBOYS</em> (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) coordinating conjunction following a comma. Since this sentence does not contain a <em>FANBOYS</em> conjunction after a comma, it is a simple sentence.
example compound sentence:
I was hungry, so I made myself a sandwich.
example simple sentence:
I made myself a sandwich because I was hungry.
The correct answer is C: He is able to show the banker's worries about his possible defeat by the lawyer.
The tale is told using the third person limited point of view. This means that we have a narrator that is external to the action of the story, but who follows it from the perspective of one of the characters alone.
The use of the third-person limited point of view allows Chekhov to share with the readers the banker's reasons for wishing to kill the lawyer.
