Joyce's first major work, Dubliners, a collection of fifteen short stories, was published in 1914. They concentrate on the idea of an epiphany, a moment when the main protagonist gains self-awareness or understanding. The stories follow a logical order from childhood to adolescence to maturity and finally death, the last story being entitled "The Dead." "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," an almost complete re-write of an abandoned novel called Stephen Hero was published in 1916. It is a biographical novel depicting the coming of age of a young man, Stephen Dedalus, the fictional alter ego of Joyce.

The book was to pioneer some of Joyce's modernist techniques that would be used widely in his later works, including interior monologue. His only published play, Exiles (1918) was a study of the husband/wife relationship. Joyce began work on his magnum opus, Ulysses, in 1914, completing it in 1921. It was published in 1922 by Sylvia Beach's Shakespeare and Company. In Ulysses, Joyce employs the technique of stream of consciousness and the action all takes place on one single day, 16 June 1904. The book consists of eighteen chapters, each roughly covering one hour of the day, beginning around 8am and finishing around 2am the following morning with each of the chapters employing its own literary style.

He began work on Finnegan's Wake in 1923, however progress was slow due mainly to declining health and failing eyesight, it was finally published in 1939. It abandoned all conventions of plot, character construction and the language used is peculiar and obscure.

Hints of Hemingway: the excellence of its short stories



Ernest Hemingway once bet with a friend on a stressed. It was that he could not write a short story within the limit of six words or less demanding. Maybe the other guy was a real friend will not after all-who knew enough to know that the author also he built his reputation, he says more with fewer restrictions, and you just put the word count function a huge story its capabilities. The end result of this creative impetus was really the story of the infamous six-word-"for sale: baby shoes; Never worn "– Silver collection by American writer well-earned from his childish" Member. "

One cannot link all the short stories together as a generalization about what they are supposed to do or provide. What Hemingway did with the specific story was an absolute limit tracking what he always intended for his short fiction — that is, the maximum amount of story development, and emotion (pathos) with the least amount of forthright description, exhibitions. In this way, Hemingway was a puzzle like he was creating the following linear stories. He was saying just enough about a person or thing or a reader to think critically can collect whatever he or she needed to know about him or her. Meaning there were often indirectly accesses. One of my favorite examples of this is towards the end of the first short story, "the King of Aragon," where the young protagonist Nick Adams faces one traumatic moments and the pathos laden (many) of his life: meeting, almost violent and threatening a former boxer with his music videos. Hemingway never directly explains to Nick swimming fear; Instead, it uses the subtle linguistic cues that stimulate a feeling of numbness vlhrod boy is trapped beyond the event. He was clearly friendly man sandwich just seconds before and still connotes that "all Hemingway so ????????? that he remember this Act of kindness in his:" he found him in his hot sandwich and put it in his pocket. "keyword" is; "this is the discovery for Nick, that's not really what happened to him via his fear.

This form of writing is so much more interesting to so many more ways than explicitly stating something like, "I was very scared that he almost and Nick killed by someone crazy." instead, we have more exciting action, gently Nick staring at the feeling of being and feeling. Is numb it every moment, shocked. All we were here before. Glow of Hemingway is how is it that all of his short fiction. This, he creates puzzles are unlocked by the observant reader. The reader becomes a detective. If one does not put the effort Holmes-Ian searches for clues, one is staring at a blank, blank (very dull). Real emotion of Hemingway's stories is based on the characters what to say, and leave unsaid; Based on what the narrator explaining that the US chooses to, leaving just the perfect amount of detail part of a lifetime or a world of joy and suffering. The word "abortion" is not output once on "hills like white elephants," still dripping his haunting Specter of ghost story and emotion that he felt the man tries to convince him his wife, traditional woman is so sure the recommendations as they sit tensely in the city, vpkoka. Who is not completely lost clues within the Grove this scene.

Knowing this, one can use its own six stories to try and understand (or puzzles), such as: "pool of shoe; The American dream is dead "; Or "one set of", "Ocean, 1924." what they need to do is paint a picture of an aspect of life, emotional event, and can all relate to certain subject, perhaps. So many authors attempted to imitate the style of Mr. Hemingway concise after wake that is probably the most influential American writer of the century. But few succeed in penetrating the mysteries that he concocted and style for themselves. People are so reluctant to read conventional mysteries, straight-laced who populate directories, books, because they offer a clear solution and eventually, but also often explained, so required deducing turgidly. But if we are so fond of detective work, why should we not make one ourselves and follow the hints that Hemingway pushed us all so brilliant? This is much more rewarding in the end to find out the answer and meaning for yourself, instead of being ?"????? said; I promise you that.

An African-American mother 'Mama Johnson' had experienced difficulties all her life during her upbringing. While her daughter 'Dee' who on the other hand had always received quality education from Augusta, Georgia and a superior life. Mama has one other daughter 'Maggie' whom she considers to be less fortunate. Maggie once became victim to a house fire, causing her to be disabled and the scars still remain on her face. Mama has always been saying that her child Maggie is the most generous of all while Dee has always been the bold and confident one.

The story begins when Maggie and Mama have taken all the necessary steps a day earlier in order to welcome Dee.

Dee has always wanted nicer things. Dee is told to be a bold and beautiful girl with fair skin, who apparently loves her sister but Maggie's less beauty, dark color and less intellectual properties have somehow caused Dee to adopt the superiority complex. Both the sisters seem complete opposite of each other. One is highly ambitious and bold while the other is equally unmotivated. Maggie's Burns have caused her the extreme troubles that she is often found in corners hiding away from the world.

Now as soon as Dee arrives, Maggie and Mama are amazed to see the charm and glory with which Dee has arrived. Dee tells them that she has changed her name now to 'Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo' which appears as some spelling mistakes to Mama.

Dee tries to steal the family's valuable crafts such as quilts and a churn as a memory of heritage from her family and to keep it as a d?cor in her home. She also laughs at Maggie for putting such valuables for Everyday use.

Mama and Maggie get irritated by Dee's insulting behavior. Mama at one stage becomes outraged and throws the quilt to Maggie's lap declaring that she won't let Dee take it away. Dee also gets frustrated. This is where Mama realizes the value of her dark, disabled daughter's mannerism against her Bold beautiful daughter.

This story is a very nice representative of the African-American social culture that in the pursuit of fame and fortune how aggressive, ill mannered one becomes. While in south the family and its values are important for them. Those who are ashamed of leaving their vales just try to put some traditional heritage for the ornament purpose, in their homes.
