quotes and meaning

Quotes are like signposts in novels. In 'The Catcher in the Rye' with Holden's 'I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff.' It gives a sense of Holden's protective and somewhat lost nature, and it ties into the overall theme of the loss of innocence and the search for meaning in a confusing world.

Columbus quotes in the 'Annie John' novel could contribute to the overall meaning in several ways. Firstly, they can serve as a reminder of the origin of the cultural mix present in the story's setting. His arrival was the beginning of a new era of cultural interaction. Secondly, they may be used to contrast the freedom and simplicity of the pre - Columbus island life with the more complex and sometimes troubled post - Columbus situation. By using his quotes, the author can draw attention to how the characters' identities are shaped by this long - ago event.

The quotes at the end could also be seen as Gilgamesh's attempt to leave a mark. He has had a long and arduous journey filled with many experiences. By stating these quotes, he is trying to share the essence of what he has learned. It's like he's saying that life is not just about achieving great feats but also about self - discovery and acceptance. His new - found wisdom, as expressed in these quotes, is a culmination of all his experiences, and he wants others to understand that there is more to life than what initially meets the eye.

His quotes often reveal his inner thoughts and emotions. When he expresses self - doubt or his view of his own character, it helps to build the complex character of Robbie. This in turn affects how we view the story as a whole. The novel is about multiple things - the power of love, the need for atonement, and Robbie's quotes play a part in highlighting these aspects. His words can be seen as a thread that weaves through the different themes of the story, binding them together in a way that makes the overall meaning more profound.
