The sun “..was the color of flaming bronze…” bronze is an alloy color of brown, using color symbolism, the light that the sun produces, it represents comfort and endurance (Bradbury, N.D., 3). The sky surrounding the sun is the color of blue. Blue, symbolizes stability, security, and unity. The sky, influenced by the sun, reaches the state of stability when the sun provides comfort. The sun also “... burned [the jungle] with sunlight…” (Bradbury, N.D., 3). This demonstrates that the jungle progressed with the sunlight. As it soaked up all of the sun’s comforts, the jungle prospered and endurance was given to keeping prospering, causing the season where everything starts to renew itself, springtime.
The children were presented with the sun’s light which showed them what happiness was under all

Their “...tears ran down their faces…” meant that they are now progressing thus exited on a newly found trait (Bradbury, N.D., 4). The blue color symbolism is also presented in this section, it symbolizes the calmness of the children as they “...breathed of the fresh, fresh air and listened... to the silence...in a blessed sea of no sound and no motion” (Bradbury, N.D., 4). This demonstrates
This quote in “All Summer In a Day” demonstrates that the children lack empathy, they are not able to understand others, that is why “the children pressed to each other…” aggressively pushing each other (Bradbury, N.D., 1). Roses and weed are used as similes to represent 2 different inferences of the children’s traits. People ordinarily like roses, roses could represent excitement, passion or love. People usually hate weeds, which could represent envy, jealousy, or inexperience. These different types of character traits help
The characterization that Ray Bradbury gave Margot was shy. She was shy because she never talked in school. For example, in the story it said ‘’well don’t wait around here.’cried the boy savagely “you won’t see nothing” her lips moved. “nothing” he cried. When the boy talked to her she didn’t say anything because she was too shy. The only thing she was confident about, is talking about the sun. She knows for sure that it is going to come, even when everyone else doesn’t think so. Margot is also very unlucky. She has been waiting a long time to be able to see the sun again, but unfortunately she was stuck in a closet and didn’t get to see the sun.
First off, as evidence, the kids didn’t ever remember seeing the sun, so they were extremely thankful and happy when they got the chance to see it. While we see it almost every day, and we don’t even think about the sun. It’s kind of like dessert, you don’t get it a whole lot, but when you do, it tastes amazing, kind of like the kids in All Summer in a Day, except you
In “The Flowers,” by Alice Walker, the flowers are used throughout the story to symbolize the beauty and naivety of childhood. In the beginning of the story the author shows the main character Myop walking down a path along the fence of her farm. Myop sees “an armful of strange blue flowers with velvety ridges…” The flowers are bright and colorful, reminding the reader of an innocent type of beauty often associated with them. This suggests the flowers were inserted in the story by Walker to reveal how young and innocent Myop appears to be. Later in the story, after Myop had discovered the dead body of a man who seemed to have been hung “Myop laid down her flowers,”. As Myop put down the flowers she was also putting down the last of her innocence.
Color symbolizes a lot in the story. In the story you see excessive use of colors. The first most clear color symbol is white which doesn't express the purity but the false purity and goodness in the people. The next is gray, valley of ashes, which expresses the lack of spirit in that area. The green shows the hope of a new start, or to work for something. Red is death , or blood. Yellow expresses the corruptness in society and dishonest behavior in society. Also yellow represents the coward image of characters.
654, line 1&2). The sunlight motion suggesting a “balance of upward and downward, rising and falling” (Harris, J. 2004), resplendent in nature and indirectly influences the reader spiritually and emotionally. Jane Kenyon’s Let Evening Come (1990), uses sunlight to project an image of a slow moving late afternoon sun, which will soon slip into the darkness of night. The light through the “chinks in the barn” (Kenyon, 1990, pg. 654, line 2), gives me the sense of an aging body and soul fading into the darkness.
By the virtue of their innocence, the children in “Marigolds” are cruel. Lizabeth explains how there are “...no radios, few newspapers, and no magazines”(76). Thus the kids are unaware of the poverty they are living in. They have no knowledge of what is happening in the world and are only exposed of what is around them. They live their lives normally, doing their chores, playing and running around like any kid will do. One day, the kids are bored and ...
For my second analyses of a script, we were to read A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry. I read a printed edition that I had ordered off of Amazon, which was the 2004 edition created by Vintage. The title of this play write is significant because of the poem Harlem, it is relating to Walter Younger’s dream for his family. He wants to give them a better life, but all of his strategies to get rich instantaneously but they “dry up” the same way as if you left a raisin in the sun. His dream just keeps getting postponed. The Raisin relates to a dream, such as it the poem by Langston Hughes. After looking at this poem and thoroughly reading the story, this seems to be the significance I can pull from this title.
Blue eyes seem to symbolize the culturally attributed beauty and status of whiteness in America. Throughout the book different characters respond to blue eyes in different ways. Claudia, for example, resents the blue eyes of her dolls, viewing their association with beauty contemptuously. But for Pecola, blue eyes are the ultimate achievement. Her desire for blue eyes is first mentioned in chapter three of the “Autumn” section of The Bluest Eye. “It had occurred to Pecola some time ago that if her eyes, those eyes that held the pictures, and knew the sights—if those eyes of hers were different, that is to say, beautiful, she herself would be different” (Morrison, 46). These lines demonstrate the complexity of Pecola’s desire—she believes that having blue eyes would not only change the way other people see her (as fitting into the white American standard of beauty), but that she would also see life differently through blue eyes. It’s as if she believe...
Who doesn’t love a bright summer morning? Sadly, even the greatest days are cloaked in stifling clouds. William Shakespeare, in his “Full Many a Glorious Morning Have I Seen”, connects both types of days to something much greater. Through the extended metaphor of the sun, he discusses a man's wonder and impassivity towards life.
From page fifty-eight to fifty-seven of Albert Camus’s The Stranger he uses the relentless Algerian sun as a motif for the awareness of reality that pursues the main character, Meursault, throughout the passage. When each motif appears in the novel such as this passage, Meursault’s actions change. This exemplifies that the light, heat, and sun trigger him to become debilitated or furious. Albert Camus sets up this motif in the passage to indicate to the reader that this motif shows the major themes of this novel. This motif shows Meursault’s emotion, how the imagery of weaponry affects Meursault’s actions, how the sun is a representation of society, and how the sun weakens Meursault.
In the play A Raisin in the Sun, the author introduces various symbols as the play progresses, representing the dreams and desires of the characters. Among all these symbols in the play, the names of the characters illustrate each character’s personality best. Although symbols are usually physical objects that represent an abstract idea or thought, names have become symbols in this play, including Beneatha’s own name and George Murchison’s nickname for Walter Lee Younger, Prometheus.
The novel A Shift in the Light by Patricia Glinton-Meicholas the author shows the importance of family throughout the novel in many different ways such as the symbol of light, culture, values and ethics. The author uses light to symbolize the importance of staying close to your family. She also uses culture to show that the house is mainly male dominated and finally she shows the values and ethics that the children follow by all throughout the novel.
The title of the story “The Sky is Gray” by Ernest Gaines is ironic. It suggests at first the bleak mood of the story but also hints at hope in the future. Just as the clouds clear after a storm, James finds out on his trip to Bayonne that the stormy clouds that are his life are parting to let some sunshine through.
The sunset shows me strikingly that beauty runs from the ends of the earth. When I pass in seclusion among rivers, over the countryside, or through a familiar route, and see the sun left hanging in the crisp air as it floats down like a deflated hot-air balloon in the west among the cloudy pavilions or in serene spaces of clear blue sky. This scene of the sunset comes to me as that despite all the hustle and bustle in life, I feel that everyone should spend at least half an hour just to relax and enjoy the process of life instead of rushing through to complete deadlines after deadlines. The darkness overwhelming the sky seems to portray that the earth is closing its eyes to rest in preparation for the next day; therefore, we humans too need to rest and give ourselves a free time to forget all our burdens and unwind for a while. Also, as I see the sun sinking as its colour fades from orange to crimson red, blending through the fading sunset to eventual darkness, it stirs my heart. As a Christian it is as though God is subtly unfolding His wonder and power through the mystery of nature. An unbeliever may look on at a form and see nothing than a beautiful mundane sunset routine while a believer may become aware of the holy and majestic presence. In this period of stillness, I find myself committing whole-heartedly and gratefully to Him, to receive His infinite love and
Roses are present in the garden, as they are “the only flowers that impress people” (Mansfield 2581). Mrs. Sheridan orders so many lilies that Laura think it must be a mistake, saying “nobody ever ordered so many” (Mansfield 2584). Satterfield says, “the flower imagery throughout the story serves to keep the reader reminded of the delicacy of Laura’s world. The flowers are splendid, beautiful, and-what is not stated- short-lived.” He goes on to say that Laura “can see only the beauty and not the dying of the flower, and she cannot see that, in many ways, she is very much like a flower herself.” The delicate life of the Sheridan’s is one that must come to an end. It is beautiful like the flowers, but also like the flowers, it will eventually die. As Darrohn puts it, “the Sheridans operate under the illusion that their easy life is natural… rather than produced through others’ labor.” This idea too can be illustrated by the flowers in the story. The roses that fill the gardens are the work of the gardeners who have “been up since dawn” (Mansfield 2581). It seems to Laura that “hundreds, yes, literally hundreds [of roses] had come out in a single night… as though visited by archangels” (Mansfield 2581). The reader can see through the flowers that the Sheridans have a rose-colored view of how their lifestyle
