Recommended: Critical analysis of dystopian literature

Observations: The panel on page 71 shows the main character, Marji floating in space, almost as if she is dead. Her body is frozen and her facial expression is emotionless. There is a triangle facing downward on her shirt. The background is outer space, so it is inevitable that the background is black. Around Marji are stars, saturn, and the sun. The sun is significantly smaller than everything else on the page. Towards the right side and slightly more than halfway down the page lies a star that is much bigger than Marji. The text says, “Marji, run to the basement! We’re being bombed!” The immensity of the star and the harshness of the words from the text does not seem to phase her. 2. Interpretation: When Marji’s uncle, Anoosh, was executed,

    A neutron star, at first glance, may seem like the smallest stellar remnant of them all, but with deeper inspection you will be baffled to know that is it the most massive of all the stellar remnants. This neutron star and it’s many wonders, including contrasts, and levels of understanding is a great image for the cover to represent the paradox and counter intuitive nature of Sharon Olds poems in The Gold Cell; the poem “Summer Solstice” is a great representation of similarity with neutrons stars.

    Yoko Ogawa’s “Revenge” was an entertaining but frustrating puzzle. These eleven stories loosely relate. However, to the extent that the stories relate, they relate only in pieces. It is hard to see coherent link. However, there are a few notable links that this paper analyzes. As Ogawa says through one of her characters, her work has the power to make the reader, “plunge” into the “icy current running under her words.” It is impossible for readers to thaw her “icy current”. However, it poses the kind of challenge that absorbs readers as they try chipping away at the icy details that connect her work.

  • A Critique of Arthur C. Clarke’s The Star

    651 Words  | 2 Pages

    Overall, The Star is thought-provoking and a good read. However, I don’t believe this short story is for everyone. This story would probably appeal more to people who love philosophy and science fiction, as it pertains to outer space and human beliefs. I am not surprised that the short story was a big hit win it came out, nor am I shocked that Arthur C. Clarke won the Hugo Award for it, as it was well-deserved.

  • Moth Smoke, by Mohsin Hamid

    899 Words  | 2 Pages

    Though it is common practice to “never judge a book by its cover”, oftentimes the cover will give a glimpse of what is to come. In literal terms, the cover of the book contains the title, perhaps one of the most important pieces of information about any literary work. Frequently the title will give an indication about the main character, or perhaps the leading metaphor. Thus is the case with Moth Smoke by Mohsin Hamid, a novel about a banker in Lahore, Pakistan who falls in love with his best friend’s wife, and plummets into a difficult lifestyle. The novel centers on the image of a moth flying around a flame; the closer it gets to what it desires, the more it is burned. Through the juxtaposition of the moth and Darashikoh Shezad, or Daru, as he is referred to, the reader is able to truly understand the situation that Daru has put himself in; the life he desperately wants will only ever harm him.

  • Critical Analysis Of Mahesh Dattani

    1053 Words  | 3 Pages

    Wading through the tempestuous waters within which our society is drowning, is India’s first Sahitya Akademi award winning dramatist, Mahesh Dattani. He is a humanist who uses his multifaceted personae as a weapon in his fight against inhumanity. Dattani sees in society what others wish to ignore. His works are a plea for humane treatment of homosexuals, equality towards women and moreover equal rights for every small section of society including the hijras. His plays question all kinds of discrimination, be it religious prejudice, gender discrimination or even homosexuality. His plays not only bring up gender issues and the space allotted to women in a patriarchal society, but also they deal with gender biases and prejudices which still affect the lives of many girl-children even amongst educated, urban families.
