Arrowhead Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Nobody can simply elaborate and give you an accurate idea of what you're writing about, only you know what you have to write about. Also, these quotes are essentially meaningless, it would actually work if you used these quotes in comparison with other quotes describing caucasian folk in this novel and how the author was using diction to describe them with imagery that is not flattering when compared to this overtly flattering imagery and descriptions used for the black people. That would make for some comparison, but even beyond that, your analysis is unstructured if you don't reveal to what end you're utilising it for and helping you becomes impossible.Try figuring it out on your own, be a little creative and come up with a decent reason how this shows the author's bias in this situation. You need a comparison though because bias cannot be shown unless two effects from the same source are held side by side and the stark disproportionality is brought out.tl;dr: You're going about it wrong.
