6/30/2023 0 Comments First love and other stories![]() ![]() The first few stories in the collection are told from the first-person perspective of an adolescent, likely an iteration of Brodkey himself. First Love is very much a novel-in-stories, with recurring characters, themes, and motifs. Brodkey’s stories document the strange little bubble of time between WWII and the turmoil of the sixties, and his writing, a kind of late modernism, reflects this period, when the ideal of the American Dream began to be redefined in terms of new modes of class and education. Although discrete entities, the stories function together. The stories collected in Harold Brodkey’s First Love and Other Sorrows, both inspiriting and crushing, are some of the most psychologically true pieces of fiction I’ve ever read.įirst Love collects nine stories, all composed and published in the 1950s all but one was originally published in The New Yorker. Great literature happens in the arrangement of that data, by presenting details with the right ear and eye for truth-and also, the good sense to know what to withhold from the audience, who, after all, are a part of the equation. ![]() ![]() We can find facts anywhere, but details and data are not the same as art. One way to measure how great a work of literature is might be to ask how true (or “True,” if one is feeling particularly romantic) the writing is. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
6/30/2023 0 Comments Notre dame de paris by victor hugo![]() “All eyes were turned to the top of the church,” Hugo wrote. In one often-cited passage from the novel, Hugo rages at the state of the building: “As much beauty as it may retain in its old age, it is not easy to repress a sigh, to restrain our anger, when we mark the countless defacements and mutilations to which men and time have subjected that venerable monument.”Ī second, equally prophetic passage has circulated widely on social media in France since the fire that destroyed large parts of the cathedral’s roof and sent its spire toppling into the nave. The novel went on to become a classic and is largely credited with helping to initiate a vast renovation of the crumbling cathedral – Hugo’s “majestic and sublime edifice” – in the mid-19th century, completed by the architects Jean-Baptiste-Antoine Lassus and Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. ![]() ![]() 01:11 Notre Dame Cathedral: before and after the devastating fire – video ![]() 6/30/2023 0 Comments Maria the wrongs of woman![]() ![]() ![]() They share a great bond between them since they have both undergone suffering but at the same time, these characters are allowed through this to have a retention of their own and individual self-sense. Through the first person narration, we see Maria and Jemina addressing one another as equals. She uses juxtaposition to show the experiences throughout the novel with Maria retelling them and also through her own feelings. The writer, “Wollstonecraft uses a technique of free indirect discourse which blurs the line between the third person narrator and the first person narrator” (Langbauer, 2008). By using the first person narration, the reader is able to connect to the feelings that Maria experiences. ![]() This book is mostly narrated in the third person but there are some large sections of the book that tell the stories of Maria and Jemima in the first person narration. Using these two types of narration has different effects on a book and this paper will discuss these effects in this book. It will also be discussed in this paper why the writer decided to tell the story in some parts of the book in the first person narration. This paper will discuss why the writer decided to use the third person narration in the beginning of the book. This is a period that marriages were solely controlled by men and the women were treated as slaves. The book “The wrongs of Woman” was written in the eighteenth century. ![]() |
