Description

Select one of the literary works on the reading list for this course.

Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word essay in which you analyze how it uses literary elements and figurative language to communicate its meaning.

To complete this final synthesizing essay, select one work from those assigned for the course and perform the following:

  • Read it carefully, and reread it, paying particular attention to literary elements and figurative language.
  • Analyze how your chosen work uses literary elements and figurative language. As you do so, pay attention to any patterns used to unite and/or organize these choices. (For example, are all the metaphors drawn from nature? Or is it more complicated, with one set of metaphors drawn from nature and one from a specific religion's tradition?)
  • Research your chosen author, to provide context for your analysis.
  • Evaluate your chosen work for meaning or multiple meanings. These meanings might be biographical to the author, historical, philosophical, or fall into some other category. Meanings can be literal or symbolic, or both literal and symbolic at the same time. Some works have one fairly unified meaning; some have multiple meanings. You'll want to identify all major meanings and how they relate to one another.
  • Explain how the work uses literary elements and figurative language to shape and contribute to the meaning. If the literary elements and the figurative language clash at any points, you'll want to identify those points, and explain the effect of the clash. If the literary elements and figurative language communicate one meaning, but the denotative content of the work communicate a different meaning, you'll want to identify these points and explain their effect.

If the literary elements and figurative language used in your chosen work are part of a specific genre, tradition, or larger context, make sure you identify these elements and explain their effects. (For example, a sonnet follows a specific rhyme scheme. If you're analyzing a sonnet, you'd show the effects of the specific rhymes in your chosen poem, but you'd also explain that this is a standard structure for the sonnet, following models established by Shakespeare. If your chosen poet wrote 17 poems using flower imagery, and this is the 17th of those poems, indicate how this affects the meaning, power, or impact of the poem.)

One word of truth; the value of art and literature
Literary elements are parts of a literary text which have been analyzed to explain a big
context for instance in a novel. They comprise of a plot, settings, characters, point of view and
themes individually whereas figurative language is using figures of speech to make a context
more effective and impactful; this can be through use of metaphors, similes, allusions, sarcasm,
imagery, symbolism, personification, hyperbole, idioms, irony, and sarcasm (McGrego, 2016).
The film is based on a speech that was to be given by a one ex-prisoner, Alexander
Solzhenitsyn of the soviet labor camps who had been awarded the Nobel peace prize for
literature but he was not able to attend the Nobel ceremony in Stockholm. It follows prison camp
sequences, works of art and historical sequences by highlighting contemporary issues such as
ignoring scales of values worldwide, the importance of art and literature, how violence and lies
relate, and the role individuals play in the scene. The speech motivates the people to take up their
responsibilities and fight for justice and truth as citizens to protect their rights.
The setting of the film is based back in the 1970s at a time where injustices, lies, and
corruption had dominated the place. Solzhenitsyn had been imprisoned and therefore was not
permitted to leave the soviet labor camp in time preventing him from delivering his speech.
Corruption and injustice had become rampant at that time yet the people were ignorant of the
problems they faced and could not fight back but instead, they remained submissive to ...
