A Canary for One by Ernest Hemingway

A Canary for One by Ernest Hemingway The accounting under amity is A Canary for One written by Ernest Hemingway. He was an Ameri discount author and journalist. His economical and unpretentious style had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his life of adventure and his public kitchen stove influenced later generations. Hemingway produced virtually of his work surrounded by the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. He published seven novels, six short drool collections, and two non-fiction works. Three novels, four collections of short stories, and trinity non-fiction works were published posthumously.Many of these atomic number 18 considered classics of American literature. Now Id like to pass on the story. The title of the story is rather complex. On the one hand it is related to the present which the American chick intends to give to her daughter. And on the other hand it reveals the idea of the adult females self-center edness as she doesnt cope with her daughters feelings and implants her beliefs on the girl. Now Id like to pass on the theme and ideas of the story. The leading theme of the story is connected with family relationships. There are several ideas in the story which help us to discover meaning of the story.Firstly, The American lady doesnt even try to control her daughters desire to marry the foreigner as for American women Americans make best husbands, she is too self-imposed. Secondly, the idea of semi-national marriage sounds absurdly, as the author shows us a perfect example of bad relationships between the American husband and wife, who are intended to divorce. Let me give you a brief summary, to reconstruct the events more(prenominal) accurately. It is the story of three people on a journey across Europe. A married twin shares a compartment with a fair sex who will be visiting her daughter. She is taking the daughter a canary.They are all Americans living in Europe so their conversation soon becomes easy and revealing, turning to confidant topics, the kind of things one can comfortable confess to strangers on a train. The two women do most of the talking which is approximately the cleaning wo small-arms daughter and the European man shes about to marry. The woman is against it and insists to take her daughter remote as the American men are the best husbands, while the second womans American husband remains silent. After they arrive to their destination, all three part with each other. The plot of the story is given to engage the reader emotionally.The author sets up an external conflict between the American woman and her daughter. Moreover there is a conflict between values of the woman and the values of the couple. Speaking about the symbols in the novel I should understand, that the main symbol is the canary. An amusing similarity begins to surface between the woman and her captive bird as she decidedly affirms disapproval of her daughters ill-fa ted union. The bird symbolizes both dependence of the woman of her beliefs and the daughter of her mother. As for discourse type it should be noted that the story is partly narration, partly explanation and partly dialogue.The special role is given to narration and dialogue, as through these discourse types that author reveals the automatic teller machine and the main ideas of the story. What is more it is written in first person perspective. The narrator is the husband but we can realize that only in the middle of the story. The author uses the indirect characterization. The protagonist of the story is the young man who despite being an American is characterized as an Englishman because of wearing braces and his English character which separates him from his wire and the women.The opponent is the American woman, a middle-aged woman who is characterized with her deafness not just the reluctance to her anybody elses suasion but also a physical one. Setting creates a certain moo d in the story. The neighboring(a) setting is the compartment. It is extremely calefacient there it was very hot in the train and it was very hot in the lit salon compartment. The heat, smoke, dust create the sick atmosphere. Shades of grey, brown and black are predominant in the story dusty trees, brown wooden restaurant cars, long cement programme.The story is written is formal language with infusions of informal one. There are constant repetitions of the word American in the text, which obviously gets a negative connotation here. To sum it up I can say that the story made a great impression on me. It is rather ironical and I am convinced that the ideas which are expressed in the story are very common nowadays. The national prepossession often mix up marriages. But we all are people and creating boundaries is incorrectly. Besides being deaf to other peoples beliefs and feelings is a straight way to rupture.
