By writing personal accounts of their lives, many women of the nineteenth century used the emotion of sympathy to share their feelings. According to Rosemarie Garland Thompson, "Sympathy is an effective rhetorical strategy in women's writing because it combines and embodies the fundamental elements of the feminine script." (Thompson 131) By using sympathy in their writing, Harriet Jacobs and Elizabeth Barret Browning, both nineteenth century women writers, made their readers want to help reform the South.
The first page I read i couldn’t stop and couldn’t put it down and I was addicted to the book. My favorite character is Violet and Finch but mostly Violet, I loved how she put things into words and how she explained her experiences. Since she was a writer she knew how to describe things and I liked her opinions. What I liked about Finch is how in love he was and how he described things with Violet in his life. Prior to Violet he was very dull for the little bit we got to see without her. One of my favorite parts in this book is Finch tells Violet she’s all the colors in one. It’s just adorable, “you are all the colors in one, at full brightness” (Niven

To release the tension, Faulkner uses short sentences or phrases for dramatic events to have a psychological effect on the reader. Faulkner used an unconventional third person's point of view through the town’s eyes to baffle the reader throughout the story. William Faulkner was successful in creating a captivating and haunting story for the
Robinson uses the symbolism and irony to quietly warn the perceptive reader of Mr. Flood's death. Robinson quietly references problems that he sees in society, and addresses them with subtleness. But, those who don't pick up on the symbolism and irony will not understand the delicate and precisely planned intricacies of the poem, and how it is upsettingly non-ironic in the end.
Grief played a large role in the lives of the Boatwright sisters and Lily Owens. They each encountered death, injustice, and sadness. Grief impacted and left an imprint on each of them. Grief proved fatal for May. August knew that grief was just another aspect of life; that it had to be accepted and then left in the past. June and Lily learned to not let grief rule their lives. Life is not inherently good or bad – events not solely joyful or grievous – it is glorious in its perfect imperfection.

her for always going to someone else to talk to. This anger goes back and forth throughout the whole poem. The negative tone lets the reader almost feel what Amy and her husband are going through.
...want to be a mother" (15.374) this is seen to be of a humorous nature yet it draws to the attention of the reader Blooms ability to sympathize with the women around him and his ability to consider the pain and struggles they go through.

The first principle character in this play is Blanche DuBois. She is a neurotic nymphomaniac that is on her way to meet her younger sister Stella in the Elysian Fields. Blanche takes two 2 streetcars, one named Desire, the other Cemeteries to get to her little sisters dwelling. Blanche, Stella and Stanley all desire something in this drama. Blanche desired a world without pain, without suffering, in order to stop the mental distress that she had already obtained. She desires a fairy tale story about a rich man coming and sweeping her off her feet and they ride away on a beautiful oceanic voyage. The most interesting part of Blanche is that through her unstable thinking she has come to believe the things she imagines. Her flashy sense of style and imagination hide the truly tragic story about her past. Blanche lost Belle Reve but, moreover, she lost the ones she loved in the battle. The horror lied not only in the many funerals but also in the silence and the constant mourning after. One cant imagine how it must feel to lose the ones they love and hold dear but to stay afterwards and mourn the loss of the many is unbearable. Blanche has had a streak of horrible luck. Her husband killing himself after she exposed her knowledge about his homosexuality, her advances on young men that led to her exile and finally her alcoholism that drew her life to pieces contemplated this sorrow that we could not help but feel for Blanche throughout the drama. Blanche’s desire to escape from this situation is fulfilled when she is taken away to the insane asylum. There she will have peace when in the real world she only faced pain.
In the past two centuries, western mainstream cultures have subscribed to the belief that crying is commonly associated with femininity, regardless of one’s gender (Warhol 182). A considerable amount of literature, including Alice Walker’s The Color Purple, has been considered by critics as effectively using “narrative techniques” to make readers cry (Warhol 183). Emphasizing on these matters, Robyn R. Warhol, the author of “Narration Produces Gender: Femininity as Affect and Effect in Alice Walker’s The Color Purple”, analyzes the usefulness of the novel’s narration approaches, focusing on the meaning of Nettie’s letters to Celie and especially the fairy-tale unity in Celie’s last letter. Using The Color Purple as illustrated example, refusing to consider the accounts of gender and sexuality, the author suggests that the applications of culture’s “feminine mythologies” in the novel give readers chances to experience the physical (openly weeping) and emotional (identify self with the character) effects of femininity (Warhol 186). Although Warhol’s interpretations have successfully carried out the novel’s sentimentality within the context of culture and other novels, there is still a general lack of comprehensive examples that illustrated after each of her arguments. In order to corroborate and extend on Warhol’s central argument, the surprising factors of the novel’s ending combines with the elements of foreshadowing in Celie’s first confrontation with Albert about Nettie’s letters, Celie’s relationship with Shug, and the ugly truths about racism and sexism showing through Nettie’s and Celie’s letters should be considered as significant in creating the novel’s sentimentality.
Virginia Woolf is the household name she is today because of her unique approach with stream of consciousness. She used this writing technique to help the reader delve deeper into the lives of the fictional individuals that make up Mrs. Dalloway. This novel is a single day in a woman’s life but by the end of the book, the reader feels as if they have read the biography of each significant character. The reader witnesses remarkable association between characters with little or no physical relationship, the importance of time and how it controls many people’s lives, and the multiple perspectives that the story is told through. Virginia Woolf broke the barrier for future women novelists by exercising this intricate method of exploring the natural and random pattern of a human’s mind.
