John Collier ââ¬ÅBack for Christmasââ¬Â Essay
The text ââ¬Å"Back for Christmasâ⬠by John Collier is written in a style of fiction. The story is about farewell party to the doctor Carpenter and his wife. In the beginning of the text we can see the Carpentersââ¬â¢ living room that was filled with the close friends who had come to say ââ¬Å"last-minute farewellâ⬠ââ¬â the author used this epithet to show us that their friends would be missing him very much. On the contrary with his wife doctor Carpenter wasnââ¬â¢t sure he would come in time, he thought smth could spoil his plans. But his wife ââ¬Å"beaming at themâ⬠said he would be back in England for Christmas. The metaphor is used to reassure everybody to make them believe in this. So, the farewells began. Mrs Carpenter tried her best to make all the arrangements on the high level and to prove it the author used such epithet as: ââ¬Å"fluting of complimentsâ⬠and ââ¬Å"marvelous arrangementsâ⬠. Carpenters were going to drive to Southampton that evening and would embark the following day. They have chosen this kind of transport for more comfortable travelling without any bustle. And to emphasize it the author the used the repetition ââ¬Å"No trains, no bustle, no last minute worriesâ⬠. So doctor Carpenter has contracted for lecture only three months and certainly he would be a great success in America. His wife Hermione has just tagged a long him to have some entertainmentââ¬â¢s to see the big cities skyscrapers. Then the author uses repetitions ââ¬Å"No extensions. No wonderful postâ⬠¦Ã¢â¬ that show us that his infirmary needs him. After the farewell dinner the maids washed up all the plates, come in to say goodbye and were in time to catch the afternoon bus to Devizes. So, to my mind, the main idea of the text ââ¬â east or west home is the best.
