A child growing up in a completely different situation from the usual may also feel embarrassed about the way they live, further illustrating how powerful this literary device can be. This device, in the writer's case, helps in particular with explaining to the reader why she felt cheated in life. The flashbacks are important to the text, as, without them, the reader has trouble understanding where Fein's resentment of her childhood has come from.

Irony is the use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning. Eudora Welty successfully uses this literary technique to elucidate the theme of the story, "A Visit of Charity".The title "A Visit of Charity" is rather ironic. Charity means to show kindness and sympathy towards others; however, no one in this story does such a thing. There are no charity from Marian's, the nurse's, the two old ladies, and the whole society's point of view. How can there be charity when the old ladies are isolated from the society.In the story, Marian, "a young Campfire girl", sets out a visit to the Old Lady House.

In composing “Heart of Darkness”, Conrad’s exploration of the very worst aspects of humanity has resulted in the very best of literary achievements.
Published on the verge of the 20th century, a time where Africa astringently suffered from the effects of European Imperialism, Joseph Conrad’s ‘Heart of Darkness’ is not merely a well composed fictional piece, but a literary embodiment of the external and internal failings of humanity, and a contrivance regarding the very lowest of human morality. Through exploring the very core of mankind's ethicality, in such a perilous point in time, Conrad engendered a literary masterpiece, of high merit, recognised as equally relevant in our time, as it

technique is perhaps used to give the poem a disorganised feel, to represent the hectic way of life that has begun to be popular. Levy’s ballad also contains an incomplete idiom: “along the beaten path”. This partial idiom refers to the fact that modern people who have lost their faith are no longer “content” to follow the monogamous and traditional ways of their elders, who followed a more righteous “beaten” path, meaning it had been the way the majority chose to take. The inclusion of this literary device is perhaps a sarcastic swipe at those the poet believes have lost their way, even though the “path” or way had been taken many times before and should indicate the right way to go.

Analysis of Literary Technique in John Donne's "The Sun Rising"John Donne, author of many works of literature, including "The Sun Rising", is a master manipulator of literary techniques, which he uses to convey a powerful and profound message to the reader. Published in 1633 in Donne's book entitled Poems, "The Sun Rising" is a poem depicting two lovers disturbed from their bed by the rising sun. Donne's poem, "The Sun Rising," is comparable to woven fabric, each literary element tightly woven on the loom of Donne's poetic mind. Donne's expert manipulation of each literary technique, making each literary element work to its fullest potential in conveying his underlying theme, is what

This break from traditional poetic values introduced new ways of seeing the world especially as it was the years leading up to World War One. Eliot was instrumental in the Modernist Movement and had little care for what the Victorians and Romantics were writing about as he saw it as outdated and mainstream.

The concept of modernism is said to revolve around a deliberate and radical break from traditional Western art and literature (Abrams, 167).

These ideals reiterated a broader philosophical emphasis on the limits of human knowledge and certain scepticism about metaphysical questions. This literature tended to be very social in focus, attending to human flaws and attempting to correct them through satire, rather than celebrating or revealing a striving to exceed previous standards or ideals. This attitude can be summed up in the idea of decorum, of language and character keeping to within long-held standards.

This is most evident in the stark contrast he creates between Athena and Apollo in both their roles and their attitude towards the Furies.
