Question by pushingmeaway: which literary terms would be best used in a 4 page paper on ernest hemingways, "in another country" ? i need to write a four page paper on Ernest Hemingways short story, "In Another Country." We need to have a main literary device in it, and I was thinking of using point of view. I don't know if I can write 4 pages with point of view. So what other literary term could help me out? Best answer for which literary terms would be best used in a 4 page paper on ernest hemingways, "in another country" ?:
Answer by The Human Being
I haven't read the story, but I may be able to help you a little: If you have to write 4 pages with the literary device as your focus, you'll want to be looking at something that can give you a little more depth. Something like symbolism [good because you can explain and explore how the symbolism is achieved and what effect it has] or maybe if there is a central metaphor to the story, that would be a good focus, too. You can mention the things like structure, sentence length, alliteration and so on when you are explaining the main focus; that is, explaining how Hemingway uses
Preethiyinda 05/22/12Preetiyinda is the story of two sisters Neela and Pachche out of whom Neela is dark skinned and Pachche is fair complexioned. Their skin color defines the course of their life and the relationships that they subsequently enter into ,forms the crux of this drama. This show brings to the fore, one of the biggest societal blackspots in our country that influences judgements and prejudices based on skin color. Right from childhood, Pachche gets all attention of family and society as she is fair skinned and percieved as pretty versus Neela who is sidelined due to the color of her skin. This is a story of the bond between two sisters and the sacrifices they make for each other, specially Pachcche who gets married to a mentally challenged person Amay on the condition that Amay's mother agrees to marry her second son to Neela who was not getting any good marriage proposals due to the color of her skin.
Elizabeth Escalona, a 23-year-old mother of five, was sentenced to 99 years in prison after severely beating her daughter and gluing the girl’s hands to a wall. The sentence is one sign that society â€" and the courts â€" are taking child abuse more seriously.
A 99-year prison sentence for a 23-year-old Dallas mother who admitted she had acted like a “monster†when gluing her daughter’s hands and beating her into a coma last year suggests that society and the courts are taking a harsher view of neglectful, abusive, and violent parents, experts say.

The mom, Elizabeth Escalona, pleaded this week with the court for counseling and rehabilitation so she could one day have her five children returned to her. State Judge Larry Mitchell acknowledged evidence that Ms. Escalona had herself been abused as a child, but said that didn’t excuse her from beating her 2-year-old until she nearly died.
“For this you must be punished,†the judge said on Friday. The sentence for the felony injury to a child conviction will be appealed.
Spanking or not spanking: a tale of parenting peer pressure
The Dallas “super-gluing†abuse case joins a litany of recent media stories involving parents going to extreme lengths to punish children.
Those cases include the “good mom†in Alaska who was let off on probation in August after being arrested and tried for using hot sauce to punish an adopted son for lying. Last week, the parents of an emaciated 18-year-old Georgia boy were arrested after it became apparent he had spent so much of his life locked in a room that his two sisters didn’t know the color of his hair.
Also on Friday, a Detroit jury found a 32-year-old father of seven guilty of murder and child abuse for beating his toddler daughter to death with a stick wrapped in a towel after she had an accident, and then covering the crime up by claiming his child had disappeared after a carjacking.
There’s little evidence that incidence of child abuse as a whole is on the increase, though a recently released Yale University study showed a growing incidence of abuse involving children less than a
 year old.
But it’s clear to experts in the field that major abuse scandals involving institutions like Penn State University and the Catholic Church have brought more scrutiny of child abuse, which in turn is being reflected in how authorities and courts view parental conduct.
“There’s actually little relationship between sentence severity and deterrent effects, but what’s much more important is that people have a sense that if they engage in a certain kind of behavior they’re going to get caught and sanctioned,†says David Finkelhor, director of the Crimes against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire in
