Abstract

E. E. Cummings, known as a pioneer and a distinguished representative in the area of experimental poetry in the 20th century, enjoys enduring fame and great popularity for the simplicity of his language and the playful mode in his poems. “in Just-/spring” is one representative, in which Cummings experiments radically with form, punctuation, and spelling to create a new, highly idiosyncratic means of poetic expression. By doing so, Cummings makes the thematic significance buried under the surface of the poem. Therefore, this paper, based on literary stylists Geoffrey Leech’s remarks about deviation, aims to analyze lexical deviation and graphological deviation in the poem, hoping to provide a stylistic analysis of the poem and trying to dig out how this maverick poet integrates his cubist strategy into his poem “in Just-/spring” in an attempt to express his eulogy of innocence.

Abstract

In Paris Trout, a novel based on actual cases, American writer Pete Dexter arranges a crime scene to be told eight times from different perspectives. A close look at repeating narratives leads to discovering certain discrepancies between the narrator’s account and the characters, especially the criminals’. Dexter renders the criminals’ statements questionable by giving the omniscient heterodiegetic narrator authority and letting his account exert the primary effect. Based on the related laws, this essay finds out that the criminals commit perjury in their statements to exonerate themselves. Moreover, Dexter reveals that their illicit doings are under the defense lawyer’s instructions. By doing so, Dexter puts lawyers’ professional ethics at the center of the story. Showing the truth or winning the lawsuit for the customer? This question is an ethical issue that every lawyer ponders. In order to vigorously promote this kind of thinking, the novelist purposely forms a huge difference in characterization. The defense lawyer is modeled on a lawyer of integrity and honesty who is committed to revealing the truth. Through the ironic change in characterization, Dexter criticizes defense lawyers who don’t have professional ethics, a situation rampant in American society in the 1980s.
