But she will be rewarded when enormous wealth went to scrub the dirty spoon the Sea of Ndayane, while his half-sister, happy at first, eventually die because of his lack of education.

2. The structure of the story

a. The initial situation

Presentation of protagonists whose Binta, her wicked stepmother, her father and his little lazy stepsister Penda. And, whatever the job, there was nothing unusual as long as it stays in the family home. Binta endured it all: "no major work, nor vexatious, nor crying, nor the blows" of his stepmother did shook. The lack
situation thus results in the absence Binta his mother died. But it is closing slowly because Binta would often seek the assistance of the latter to the cemetery. In his half-sister while ago fullness. She has her father and mother
The initial situation was stable until the stepmother sends Binta wash the dirty spoon Sea Ndayane. It starts up. His quest begins.
"Tired, really tired ... Binta had forgotten among the many utensils and gourds she had to scrub after every meal, a tiny wooden spoon, a tiny Kok
" Tired of the beatings, "she sent wash in Ndayane Sea, a sea, which in truth does not exist. However, it was a domestic work that she imposed on her stepdaughter. In reality a means of returning the house.
A problem of jealousy that barely hides a problem of succession and inheritance.

b. The vicissitudes:

First quest: that of the orphan Binta

First sequence: Meeting "which was a jujube saplings being his own fruit," she bowed politely.
- Where are you going so alone and so late, my child? inquired the jujube.
- My stepmother sent me to wash this Kok Ndayane Sea, "explained the girl.
- That the path of God guide your steps, wished him the shaft. He offered
gumdrops. Second sequence
: Three nights and three days more
"The sun ... the reluctant face of the dark night" Binta
found "two cakes that were ongoing and struggled merrily" and inquired with her. She answered them politely, and offered him a cake each piece. Third sequence
: Three days and three nights even
"The sun was in the sky ... "Binta
found" a pot of rice that is cooked by itself, "the pot asked the object of his quest, to which she replied kindly and politely. She received a "handful of rice"
Fourth sequence: Meet the benefactor: After three days, she met "a more-than-old woman with a box with a roof thatched with frayed four winds "that told her she had reached the sea Ndayane in fact the remains of all the wild beasts. The old
subjected to tests: 1st test
: She asks him to pound a grain of millet, Binta and runs without flinching, and the mortar was filled with flour which only one handle a gourd filled with couscous.
second test: The Mother of beasts made him cook a bone which turned into meat and fill the pot.
"The bones were certainly eaten since the birth of the world and beyond since bleached Ndiadiane Ndiaye.
3rd test: She prepared the couscous and ate with her grandmother. Then she gave him a needle and gently advised him to bite animals under their bed to sleep. What she did, and the animals left their bed.
After having prepared and eaten with the grandmother, the orphan Binta washed the spoon and received the old five eggs and recommendations for usage: each egg will be broken by singing "O dresses Vey! Vey dresses! "On the edge of the savannah, surrounded at the entrance of the forest in the heart of the forest, and the last to exit. They came out respectively "men, women, armed horsemen mounted on magnificent horses, slaves who followed him" boubous, cloth of all colors and all fabrics, silk handkerchiefs, bracelets, chains ";" ingots, gold dust, gold jewelry and silver, rings, bracelets, lots of amber "herds of oxen, cows, bulls and heifers," all species of wild animals Earth, lion, leopards, jackals, hyenas "and destroyed all the riders.

Second quest: that of the half-sister Penda
stepmother is always the destination, that is to say that sending the beggar: In these terms, she told her daughter: '- Salis me right away that Kok and will wash you also Ndayane Sea. "Binta
As her half-sister the orphan, Penda marched
... She went through the same steps, but each time she came to the steps taken by his half-sister, she does not even saluted and shouted their outrage bizarre "Since I was born, this is the first time I see a tree sapling itself," or questions like: What? Incredible! in a world where nothing is explained. She also received "- That the path of God does not guide your steps."
Meet the benefactress : She disrespect to the old woman, and almost insulted when she submits to tests pounding of a grain of millet. "As much boiling stones," she replied to the demand for cooking bone.
She was still five eggs, but do not use them rationally, and broke in the first place, but the last and she was devoured by wild beasts, and his heart was only spared because the animals did not want and even Tann-le-Scavenger them before, and dropped in the village "singing ironically".

"Khali ba demoness
Guédjou Danyane
Khol n'gué ba é é é

c. The final situation

Binta returned triumphantly with his rewards:
She came to the village with its wealth and its sequel. And "The words she said on seeing the orphaned Binta," no one can repeat "and" cries she (her stepmother) pushed agree even today. "
By cons, his half-sister will be punished for his insolence (she does not care what it considers weird), his rudeness (not greet and disrespect to an elderly person) and disbelief (do respect the recommendation of an old person).

III. Themes

Family: Family life depicted in the story through the orphan mistreated by her stepmother. The role of a father should be to restore the truth and fairness. But he Binta is the most despicable of men, since "the poor man abandoned his daughter to his poor and wretched fate at the hands of his evil wife." The
zoomorphism : As in the popular literature of all countries, animals play an important role in the tales of Senegal, and found it in this tale many features which the fables of Aesop and Jean de La Fontaine Western readers are accustomed. This animal world is dominated by the stature and authority of the Lion Gayndé, Bour (King) of animals, also called N'Diaye, the name of his clan. The wonderful
: su wonderful elements are numerous. Indeed there from the start prosopopoeia where talking to the dead, because we are told that the mother Binta in his grave "had never been able to answer, for some reason, calls her daughter". Assume that it can respond. Then the many personifications of the "lotus", the "cakes", a "pot of rice" which is cooked itself, and speaks to humans.

IV. The moral of the story
The double
education: that of the stepmother to his daughter and God for the orphan. This is the popular conception of the situation of someone who lost a parent. As they say, God bless him. And values are rented in this tale of patience "Binta has long awaited despair without the help of his mother), courage and dedication (Binta is working, it never rests, despite the abuse by her stepmother) politeness (She has never rebelled against his stepmother and did not reproach her weak father, as he welcomes foreigners because not disdaining their difference). It's Penda wickedness punished in a mother because it is said in this society that the woman has children she deserves according to the behavior in her household, the mother of Penda does not respect her husband, she does sing .
work in youth is a value here rewarded. It is not only the kindness and politeness which are rewarded, but especially his habit to work without flinching. What is its behavior in front of the old.
can also understand that the old is the reincarnation of the mother Binta it helps. A reversal has taken place here, and one who abused the daughter of another sees his daughter being abused. Through
Penda, it is opposite the behavior does not pass: Do not be lazy and do housework, do not be disrespectful toward strangers and adults. It is also punished his lack of education, so she did not understand that things that do appearances, as she says: "In this country where everything is upside down, I think it is always better to start by the end. " It began with an end.

V. Orality in the tale

repetition with slight variations characterizes the tale "Three nights and three days", "three days and three nights again," after three days. " But also the type of story mirrored to repeat sequences for positive and negative heroes.

Conclusion

This fairy tale is also a tale of manners as it implements rules to respect in society, risking severe punishment or death, as is the case of Penda, if do not observe them scrupulously. In fact, this tale is fraught with allusions that could look more widely, in any case always has a tale to deliver truths, even if it is a fiction.

It is not superfluous to recall that The Stranger as a formal image of Sisyphus myth.

II-WORK

1-Camus The philosophy of Camus


"The sense of absurdity at the corner of any street can hit in the face of any man." According to Camus, the company is worthless and makes man live in the mechanical repetition of everyday activities that lead inevitably to death. Hence, it is not the world that is absurd in itself, but the relationship that man relationship with him so why live? The absurd is illustrated in Caligula (1945), The Stranger (1942), The Myth of Sisyphus . If Camus accepts that life has no meaning, though he refuses to resign. That is to say, suicide and nihilism. He also rejected the revolutionary action which he said led to oppression and crime. He advocated instead the double requirement of clarity and authenticity. In behavior, he calls the fight and action and asked to find a reason to live in the exercise of solidarity

2 - Writing

Camus Camus uses the technique often behaviourist (set of processes to describe the behavior)
There is also a lyrical expression of nature, sea and sun. It mixes pastiche and demystification to ridicule justice, morality and conventional administration.

III-ANALYSIS OF WORK

1-Camus talks about Abroad

He wrote in 1955 in the preface to the American edition. "I summarized the Abroad long ago with a phrase which I recognize paradoxical. "In our society any man who does not cry at the funeral of his mother may be sentenced to death. I only meant that the hero of the book is condemned because he does not play the game. " In this sense it is alien to the society where he lives, he roams the sidelines in the suburbs of privacy, lonely, sensual and that is why players were trying to look like a wreck. We will, however, a more accurate idea of the character more in line anyway insertions of the author if you wonder why Meursault does not play the game the answer is simple, it refuses to lie. Lie not only say what is not. It is also especially say more than that is. And as regards the human heart, saying more than we feel it. That's what we do every day to simply life. Meursault, contrary to appearances does not make life easier, he says what he is, he refuses to hide his feelings and immediately society feels threatened.

2. Structure of the novel

The novel is structured in two parts. The first opens with the death of the mother from Meursault, and evokes the attitude of the character, his relationship with Mary and the murder of Arabic. The second part opens with an imprisonment of the hero and talks about his trial in which it has insisted instead on his insensitivity and his "heart of the criminal."
Meursault is sentenced to death and his rebellion against religious and judicial institutions, it rejects its authority through its execution and waits lucidly.
3. The summary
The narrator, Meursault, a clerk in Algiers, learns that his mother died in an asylum. He will be buried without tears, and under a blazing sun, which only increases his desire to end the ceremony. Back in Algiers, he will swim and found a former colleague, Mary. They will see a funny movie in the cinema, and she becomes his mistress. One evening, Meursault meets Salamano, neighbor, and is invited by Raymond, another neighbor. The latter, a former boxer, he recounts his battle with the brother of his mistress, and asked him to write a letter that will serve her revenge. A few days later, Raymond is fighting with his mistress and the police intervened. Meursault agrees to accompany him to the police.
Invited by Raymond to spend a Sunday at the seaside in the shed of a friend, Masson, Meursault goes there with Mary. After the meal, the men walk on the beach and meet two Arabs, whose brother Raymond's mistress. They fight and Raymond is injured. Back to the cell, Meursault tempers and takes his gun, to save him killing. Left alone on the beach, he meets by chance the brother who takes out a knife. Stunned by the weight of the sun, it tightens on the revolver and the gun goes off alone, but Meursault takes four shots to the body inert.
Meursault is imprisoned. The instruction will last eleven months. He shows no regret when questioned by the judge, no penalty when his lawyer asked about the feelings that bound him to his mother. The memory, sleep and reading an old piece of paper he can get used to his condition. Mary visits less frequent.
The trial begins with the summer. The questioning of witnesses by the prosecutor shows that Meursault did not cry at the funeral of his mother, he amused himself with Mary the next day and he gave a testimony of convenience in favor of Raymond, who turns out to be a pimp. The testimony favorable Salamano Masson and are barely heard. The prosecutor argues the heinous crime, run by a man at the heart of criminal and insensitive, and demanded the head of the accused. The lawyer pleads provocation and praises the moral qualities of Meursault, but it no longer listens. The president, after a long wait, announces the death sentence of the accused.
In his cell, Meursault thinks about its implementation, and its appeal to Mary, who wrote to him more. The chaplain visits him, despite his refusal to meet him. Meursault is furious against his words, reacts violently and insult. After his departure, he calms down, realizes that he is happy and hope to feel less alone, that his execution will take place before a large crowd and hostile.

4. Space and time

The first part takes place mainly in Algiers in the old Asylum at Marengo (80 miles from Algiers) and the beach where Meursault commits murder. This part takes about three weeks.
The second is to prison, jail, and was the trial of Meursault, which lasts a little over a year.

5. Characters

a. The hero Meursault : He saw a triple loneliness: physical, because having a den of friendly relationship very thin morality, because its concepts are different values that society attaches, philosophical, because everything he does not care.
All these actions are based on a personal vision of things. That is why Camus wrote: "We do not mislead by reading Abroad, the story of a man without heroic willing to die for the truth "
Meursault does not choose his friends. It is those who choose it. He is interested in them insofar as they may serve him with something, conservations with Raymond Sintes, physical love with Mary. Restoration with Celeste ... the only character who seems closest is the old Salamano who lived the same experience as him. Those who claim to save Meursault are those who manage to touch the least. This is the case of Justice and the chaplain who tries to convert. There's also the old Perez and director of the Asylum which ensures his conviction emphasizing its insensitivity.
b. The secondary characters

The other characters are silhouettes, characters of tenure because they have no depth outside of their relationship with Meursault. Besides, he seeks his love or friendship. Because they are seen through the eyes of the character-narrator. It is assumed that Meursault had a life empty.
Raymond: He seeks the help and friendship of Meursault. Meursault wrote him a letter of revenge. Nothing is known of him if he wants to use or Meursault if he seeks a sincere friend. Is he a villain ? We know he's a pimp (procurer or pimp), we Advocate General. It will be his first friend after the death of his mother Mary
: She is the wife of episodic Meursault, his "mistress." She has brown skin, gay. In the second part of the novel, it is virtually absent and Meursault himself wonders if she does not "his mouth to a new Meursault. So one may ask, does one even if Meursault loves Mary. In fact when he spoke of his mistress, Meursault did not know that he spoke of Mary as it does not consider it such. When Mary asked if loved him, he replied that he did not know. In all his heart, there apparently was not Mary.
Other sidekicks are Celeste, Salamano and old Perez
Salamano lives next tier of Meursault. Meursault that holds him is that he was mourning the loss of his dog. Compared with him, who had not wept at the death of his mother. It is a test bed to test the feelings of Meursault, about the reaction of someone who loses a loved one.
Perez is the only man who has mourned the death of Madame Meursault, so it becomes a witness supported in the trial of one who had not mourned the death of his mother. This character is therefore important to judge the moral side of the hero.
Arabs are part of the set of characters used to place the action in an Arab country, Algeria here. And the fact that the hero kills one is already a sign of guilt (racism is in course).
The other members of society: it was the director of the asylum of Marengo, Meursault boss, the judge , his lawyer , chaplain. Meursault feels a little sympathy for the Director of asylum and general counsel, does not understand the game of his own lawyer and refused the prayer of the chaplain. So he starts on the fringes of society.

6. Themes

a. The absurd : For Pierre Louis Rey, is the absurd notion that Camus too intellectual can not deliver as a test of where this novel, which is a conceptualization of absurdity that reveals a world unfair where conformity is the rule, something that Meursault refuses. But the absurd progressively slipping on the revolt with first ... (To continue).
b. The revolt : Meursault is a rebel. His silence is a way for him not to play the game of society. And even if he has a chance to speak, he said his opposition or negation. Also denies there often, say "no."
Conclusion
Read L'Etranger is a like seeing both sides of man: one that accepts the inconsistencies and gaps in the world, a sign of absurdity and oddity of behavior and reaction, and one who rebels against certain forms of expression to assert its otherness, its individuality, his freedom. Moreover, in his book The fall Camus told his character, Clamence " I make a picture which is that everyone and anyone. A mask, in short, rather like those carnival ...".

That is why it is not going to his quest because he was afraid of losing its identity. At the end he will be killed by the idiot who ordered him to pray. This death is well a kind of introspection, back to the original state because before I die it will say "Sea, the clarity of your flow is awaiting my gaze. I look at you, and you sparkled, without limits. I want you for eternity "(p. 191).

Study: Ascension social Goriot



Introduction The nineteenth century was a century marked by the emergence of capitalism that will result in the division of society into two classes: the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. Thus in this society money is the watchword, social success, the goal of everyone.
Balzac, like writers realistic, looks at social mores through his novel, Goriot he published in 18 ... where the action is clear from the figures upward mobility. The study of this theme will focus first on the power of money, then self-promotion of Rastignac and finally to the moral decay of Parisian life.

I. The power of money

By marrying the daughters of Goriot have disowned their father. So in this world, the "god" Money is the only way to assert themselves is why, according to Vautrin, "the fortune is the virtue. " Through the character Vautrin, Balzac denounces the injustices that underpin the social order. Money here is linked to evil Baron Taillefer his family remains in favor of his son, give itself the legacy of the latter.
The money would perhaps not have been this seductive power in society based on higher values, yet the company, as always Vautrin esteem does that "if I pass no I ask who you are? I would be 4 million Mr. A U.S. citizen. "
Money in the Parisian society determines almost all the characters in the novel.

Ms. Vauquer : keeper of the pension is obsessed with winning, and its relationship with residents are determined by the wealth or poverty of the latter.
His greed is demonstrated by his confusion when residents threatened to leave the pension. Guessing that Father Goriot had the fortune, she intends to marry him. But when she discovers the hardship of the latter, she prepared all faults and speaks ill of himself. His hatred was not because of his love but his hopes.

Vautrin : So John Collin is an escaped prisoner who tries to hide his true identity and tries to give Rastignac lessons to get rich by killing the father of Victorine Taillefer.

The couple Mr. and Mrs. Poiret: This couple goes to the police to gain the promised reward for the capture of the escaped prisoner.

II. The ambitiousness of Rastignac

The ambitiousness of Rastignac unfolds through his career. New graduate and rights to letters, he left the province to come to Paris, the capital to continue his studies. First characterized by its simplicity, it manages to exceed disillusioned teenager starting his training of watching, listening and walking into Parisian high society. Rastignac becomes ambitious and despite financial poverty of his family.
To conquer this company, he knows he must conquer women. Thus it will use the weapon of seduction to achieve his ends.

Become computer and enters himself, he launched a challenge to the city of Paris "Between us now."

III. The moral decay of Parisian life

This novel is a painting of the lives of Parisian society. Among those lives that show the moral decay are: adultery, theft, deceit, greed, murder, homosexuality, etc.. However
the moral decay of this society is mainly shown by the relationship between two sisters, Anastasia and their father and Delphine.

1. The two sisters

- Anastasia Restaud is the eldest daughter of Goriot. She married Count Restaud for social status, when it wants to enjoy the wealth of his father.
- Delphine Nucingen is the youngest daughter of Goriot who marries the Baron Frederick Nucingen for the same reasons as his sister. She has an affair with Rastignac.
Even if they are sisters, do not love these characters so far. Their dispute will even cause the death of their father they were abandoned because financially, it can do nothing for them. Thus they are marked by their ingratitude to their father who has yet sacrificed for their happiness.

2. Forfeiture of Goriot

Deprivation may be analyzed on three levels: physical, emotional or moral and economic. At the physical level, this decline is shown by the deteriorating health of Goriot will eventually die in excruciating pain. This suffering is actually caused by the emotional. Indeed, after the death of his wife, he is abandoned by his own daughters who are even ashamed of him. It is the passion, the love he feels for those girls who will be the source of its economic decline. Pere Goriot "Christ of paternity, sick, tired of the anxiety and indifference of his daughters died in the arms of Rastignac leading single her coffin to the cemetery. Indeed, Father Goriot has used his fortune to the welfare of his children.

Conclusion

Respecting the realist aesthetic, Balzac arrived in his novel to make a faithful picture of the capitalist society of the 19th century, highlighting the role that money plays. As closing remarks, we will borrow the novel to characterize briefly this company: "Money, that's life" on page 246.

He will remain in the imagination of Mpho. So she will refuse her first husband because of her "stank Bafi a Tiécoura stayed and warmed." His gaze looks than the savannah buffalo black hair braided and are loaded with amulets and attacked by a swarm of flies that cause nausea and horror.

Her hair braided and loaded charms give him an air of grotesque that does not lessen the fear that emanates from him. He compares himself to an old dog or a hyena alone. Is the character most committed to the traditions and history of his people. Indeed it was he who interprets dreams, foretold the future and indicates the steps to take in certain circumstances. Fama also warned it of his death should he return to the Republic.

Diamourou : the griot is one of the few characters to adapt to the subtleties of independence. He shares with long experience in Balla village.

IV. Themes

1. The town and village

The description of the city reflected the will leaves symbolically to contrast the condition of blacks and the whites. On one hand we have the opulence of the buildings in concrete, the other poverty boxes. The village of Togobala Fama is the place for survivals of customs and traditions, the place of memory and return to basics. But during this period of independence, the village offers no hope or prospect, as Fama prefer returning to town.

2. Infertility Infertility

is brushed into the text through the couple Salimata Fama, but this idea extends beyond the couple and the tribe, the country in the world Malinke. It symbolizes the unproductive and unable to assume responsibility and conservation of some species.

3. Traditions and beliefs

Night is presented as responsible for poverty, and men are attentive to the behavior of animals. Death is regarded as a passage into the invisible. The legal requirements are also discussed to humanism, fatherhood, solidarity, hospitality but also the duty of childbearing for both man and woman.

4. Religion

Religion Muslim and animist practices coexist, overlap when it comes to conjuring a curse or a favor to ask God or the occult powers of the beyond. This explains the presence of Balla and Tiécoura beside piles Diamourou and Fama. The synthesis is even done by Fama.

5. Excision
The test is difficult and painful at the base of all the sufferings of Mpho. In his description, the narrator tells both questions, meaning, atmosphere and personality of the one that operates without forgetting the traditional songs and lamentations of practitioners.

6. Independence
The novel tells the disappointment of the Malinke who find themselves with political prestige lost because of colonization. Thus the emergence of a new political class that rejects the traditional political class, is the son of the slave regime.

7. Bastardy

The idea of illegitimacy runs throughout the novel, is found in the final frenzy of Fama as the last insult. She takes this meaning varied which reduces to the idea of authenticity and legitimacy that Fama bears. Moreover, according to his embittered (unhappy) who does not understand that things are finite and they never return.

V. Style

By folding the French language requirements of thought and language structures Malinke, Kourouma gave his narrative vigor and striking relief. While some cried foul, others were attracted by the originality of the author. Therefore, it becomes appropriate to compare the story in the universe Malinke "I can not express Fama inside and then I tried to find Malinke style. I was thinking in Malinke, I put myself in the shoes of Fama to introduce the thing, "said Ahmadou Kourouma.
Indeed, the author has deliberately twisted the necks of the French language to better highlight his ideas. This explains the predominance of expressions typical Malinke in the work. And the number of metaphors, images and forms purely Malinke give the novel its local color and originality.

VI. Meaning of the work

The Suns of Independence connotes moral and physical decline, poverty, or disappointment data independence. Announced as the new world release period and pomp seen as the negation of an authentic world, traditional. This work symbolizes the resulting disillusionment of autonomy. More importantly, the novel becomes a violent indictment, a trial against independence.



Conclusion In this novel-like tragic (opening with a funeral scene and ends with the disappearance of the hero), one can read the image of a bruised Africa, marked by a phantom period transition was very much a time of disappointment. Africa is painted in the guise of a damage resistant of the dictatorship, with serious disorders caused by the time of independence. But fate is far from being discarded. And as Mpho refuses resignation, Africa faces the challenge of real independence.

Study Night (1961) by Leopold Sedar Senghor

framework poems Nocturnes is the kingdom of Sine with its social and cultural specificities. And the poet often says these teenage love. In this largely pastoral region, the focus will be on the dusk and dawn, moments in favor of various fantasies. The study will look at the title, the general sense of the collection, composition, theme and writing poetry.

I. Significance of title

The theme of the night is often present in the texts of poets like Ronsard and Musset. The latter also wrote Nights . Senghor is therefore part of this tradition, but unlike its predecessors and Western, he has the night of feelings and sensations in his own race, and especially its culture. Overall, the night is synonymous with lack of visibility, thus concern fears and anxieties. It is the right time to nightmares. And even if this meaning of the night is not absent in Senghor, one must remember that it is often valued in African culture. Thus it a moment of tenderness, intimacy and family reunions. The night is also the time of expression of romantic feelings. Lit by the moon and the constellation, the night is friendly games for children and reflections on the universe, life, death, because it is during the night as the spirits of ancestors come to visit their homes.
night works as a sort of metaphor and refers to the color black and therefore the black man, with particular emphasis on possible suggestions and allusions. Sing the Black returns for Senghor to illustrate his fight for the recovery of his race, in blackness.
The word "Nocturnes" is an adjective, so it describes something that you know it is a plural, and the lack of qualified or words creates a kind of amazement and expectation. When reading the poems, we realize that this adjective can describe the skin of blacks, over time, but especially in a metaphorical sense.

II. Abstract

That goes without saying that the time frame for most of the poems is night. Unless of course some whose "Elegy for Aynina Fall." Otherwise the atmosphere of the night dominates the poems. Through Nocturnes, Senghor and relives revives the African realities, and sometimes the realities of the universe, focusing on culture and history. But what dominates this book is the praise of beauty, and beauty of the black girl, the "Signare" The Sope. The elegies insist more facets and cultural characteristics of the black world, because it must be remembered Senghor is in achieving its program of blackness that is' all cultural values of the black world. " "In" Elegy of Midnight, the poet traces the creative process and its meaning. The poet is buried in honor. The world praised the covers, but inside he discovered "as a Sahara, a vast emptiness" and lifeless. Again insomniac, as he was at the time of his studies in Paris, he finds no solace in books, "look at me from the depths of their eyes." Neither music nor love the rhythm of poetry can not hunt her despair. He lives a hell. The poet asks God for help. He prays for rebirth in the realm of childhood. It will patient with the patience of a peasant he always had, and he will await the dawn. It will wait for the sleep that nourishes the poet, who has nurtured poets of his people, Maone poet and the wise Koty Barma. Other elegies
evoke more conscious tension between the social role that absorbs the politician and his deep poetic me. "

III. Composition

"Songs for Signare": 21 poems, a kind of romance where the poet describes his adolescent love. That in his native region of Sine.
The first poem begins with a song by the rhythmic repetitions and refrains the black girl: "I will borrow a flute that the pace of peace herds / And all day sitting in the shade of your lashes, close to the FIML Fonaine" (p. 171), because this is after some time he has dreamed of the black girl left the country, as he says: "For this morning a light hand caressed my eyelids at night" This triggers
and his nostalgia for the "signare," the black girl, after discovering " other lands and other eyes, "and each night the same regret," I'll sleep in the dark ... in the silence of my tears / Up to this touched my milky dawn front of your mouth "(pp. 172-173). Note the night here is what recalls the African, which explains the poet's insomnia. Do not they say a woman loved it prevents us from sleeping?
From the fifth to eighth poem, the poet is quick to sing the beauty of black women, for fear one day becoming a victim of aphonia, and he said "And you regret it in the dark voice that sang burning your black beauty "and the poem for two flutes, the cantor recites:
" I've spun a song soft as a whisper Dove noon / and khalam tétracorde. with me / I've spun a song, and you have not heard. " (P. 175)
We see that every word has connotations night returns to the black girl and her beauty, "O my friend color of Africa" (p. 176) and finally identify it, "I appointed the daughter of Arfang Siga "

From the ninth poem, the poet focuses on the hospitality of the black girl, then passes into the poems according to its description with comparisons between the past and the girl daughter today. "Your face of beauty from ancient times (...) like a statue ... / You singing voice of a shadow ndeïsane ! the glory of the champion standing / In your face today in its patina black beauty of the Lord "(p. 178), mean by this that the black girl is like a goddess. Be remembered in "Black Woman," "I sing your beauty that passes, as I lay down in the eternal," he wrote. Forever describe the girl, he said "So you've stripped Flamingo Pink grace and elegance of the Slender curvy" (p. 179). Thus for the favor of women, he summoned all the wealth of Africa, the diamond, the wisdom of elders, prayers, minds, and says he is resigned almost: "Ah! I forgot Princess! to have consulted my heart-piercing walls.

In the twelfth poem on page 180, the poet criticizes the Western civilization and their company. And he insists on waiting for the girl in his country. That is why for the reassurance, he said "Signare, I sing your grace, your beauty" (p. 182)

In the poems that follow, these are the childhood memories that are flush, and he recalls his games with girls. "... We played drowned, do you remember? "Or "Was it you the Nyominka, who offered the honor of a stool," and later "Again ... I met you / your brother to Recognize your voice shakes - but well past the time for hide and seek ! "(Pp. 182-183). This girl is also that he is looking through the black girls in the Diaspora: Cuban? Priestess of Voodoo Island Bewitched, which makes it sad? Is the Caribbean Ginette Eboue's first wife?

is also the night that allows him to relive his continent the same night Maghreb, "it's our night joalienne Night" (p.186) and could be heard deep in the night "The voice of dark splendor Amante singing of the Lover" (p. 187).
Over time, the wait finally tired of the poet, and he really regrets: "This long journey my Sope / ... I hated every day a little more face east of the bride blue" (p. 179) and the end This sequence is a question about the future of the relationship between the poet and black girl.
"Song of the insider" closes this part reflecting the meaning of initiation, a passage from one life to another, that of adults.

There are five elegies discussing:

"Elegy of Midnight pp.198-200 It
question here of African realities that contrast with the European vision of the universe. The poet denounces the monotony and routine Western. "A precise mechanical and without respite, until the end of time" (p. 198) And the night the poet causing lack of manly thoughts. "Midnight" is called to love. "And I'm like a hundred meter runner, as the black stallion in rut of Mauritania" (p. 199)

"Elegy of the Circumcised" pp. 200-202
He implores the Lord to revive the kingdom. Invocation on the age of man, since circumcision is the death of childhood. It's party and dance dresses despite the circumcised.

"Elegy of Saudades" pp. 203-206
These historical realities. We learn that on the Senegalese coast, the Portuguese were the first comers, and the name of Senghor would come to them with "Senhor", "My name goes back to the source." Starting point of the celebrations of the bravery of his race: "Love: death in what is joy! Death: Rebirth in lightning "(p. 204).

"Elegy of the Waters" pp. 206-208
It's a little history of the universe that the poet calls into suggesting the wrath of God. This reminds elegy punishment by the waters of the city of Sodom and Gomorrah by fire. He also alluded to the flood waters when he talks about the third day, expressed in the preceding elegy in which he called "a forest in the flood, the mud crawling reptiles of the third day" (p. 204). The poet is a prayer to the universe, because it rains the waters are the same everywhere: "It is raining in New York on Ndyongolôr on Ndyalakhâr / It rains on Moscow and the Pompidou in Paris and suburbs on Melbourne ... "(p. 208)

" Elegy for Aynina Fall "pp. 209-215
The poem re-stages the black struggle for freedom and equality: "Elegy for Aynina Fall."

IV. Topics

We can recencer exhautivité with the themes in this poem more than ome are outlined here and find their development in other collections. Also we refer for details to Senghor's poetic works as theme for the kingdom of childhood, death, the civilization of the universal ... However we considered that some pregant are discussed below.

1. The night

It is the thread that connects all the poems thanks to the many occurrences of words and the family that night or night. Dark, darkness, shadow, shadow, darkness, black, evening, dusk, midnight, black woman. For proof, one can study the poem for jazz orchestra.
Other words connote the color as black, sleep, dream, nightmare, cloud, anxiety, fear, sadness, sorrow, mystery, started, etc.. pp. 182-183.
The night is silence, which made its mystery and the enigma that is black, because of his skin. "The enigma of gold in your smile" we read, or page 179, "Your smile asks me Enigma."

2. Women

The black woman is central to the inspiration of Nocturnes. "Signare Songbook" is up for it. Ie 21 poems for her. Read these poems back to meet the descriptions of its forms and its black color. Sometimes his moral character is painted, sometimes she sings sometimes it is sung. The poet sometimes his eulogy. "Your father was a doctor in Askias (...) The pen of your eyelashes talbe singing (...) black woman with green eyes (...) your hair faded ..." p. 183.

3. African cultural values

Nocturnes exposes traditional values and hospitality of signares dealing as it should be men of their hosts. On page 183, we note that courtesy to give sit a natural host. And the poet can not help but enjoy it while uttering "Good Signare! "(P. 189), he even adds, "Amber and gongo, fragrance near me talking." In addition to the signare was educated in the practice of religion, so the poet speaks of "Voodoo Priestess" in animist rites in Benin or the Antilles.

V. Style and rhetoric

The technique of "song" playing on rhythm and musicality dominates the poetry of Senghor. The verse form of Senghor is mixed. Borrowed from Saint-John Perse and Paul Claudel, The verse is a blend of regular and irregular towards giving the song great solemnity. Even if it respects the rules of prosody classic, one sees that he uses most often octosyllable, syllable and the Alexandrian.
processes of repetition (anaphora, parallelism ...) are also present.
Senghor combines verses processes of rehearsal, what he calls "parallels asymmetric considered one of the fundamental principles of aesthetics African Negro. The rate specific to African art is born, according to him, "rehearsals are not repeated," that is to say, in which parallels are brought to light shifts (Permutations, gradations, ellipses, ...). This is the case, for example, as a result of syllable and octosyllables and repetition in the first poem we can read. This collection also operates
figures of speech, especially metonymy dear to the academician, but especially, special treatment is accorded by the word oxymoron or alliance. The black-white alliance, the night light. So the night is for games studded black children. "And their brilliance to the rich dusk Sangomar" (p. 177) Especially the black plays with nuance, with the blue, it symbolizes happiness and peace, tranquility, and the green is wealth. Here are some examples from here and there:
"Arch qu'encercle the blue forest of your hair" (p.173)
"And I will rest in peace long blue-black
" And the smell of green rice paddies to the tabalas rumbling gallop "(p. 174)
Red represents the ground, and soon both the blood spilled on this soil. "Black White and Red oh red like the soil of Africa "(p. 178). Ideas found in the poet Aimé Césaire.

Conclusion

pace as wealth of languages and cultures of black Africa gives new meaning to the poetry and lyricism. With this book "only the rhythm causes the short circuit poetic turns copper into gold, the word into a verb", it "creates not only the melody but also the image by iterative momentum, and thus suggestive creative ". Nocturnes is we can not deny a collection for her, that is to say, the black girl, and it is Africa, Black Aesthetic, the values to be reborn.

48 characters of the human comedy through Father Goriot. And among these, there are others whose role is quite remarkable. This is the case of Ms. Couture, who is the widow of a commissary years of the Republic, Mr. Poiret who is a junior official.
The spirit of the nineteenth century is the money that God reigns in society. "Money, that's life," they say on page 246. The characters are all Goriot, near or far, bound by money. On the historical and social, this period is characterized by the rise of the bourgeoisie. If the bourgeoisie is somewhat excluded from political power during the Restoration (1814-1830), it does not hold unless the levers of the economy. The nineteenth century was also shown as Balzac time of annuitants.
Father Goriot was also enriched by speculation on the flour. He had kept his stock for resale at a higher price during the period of scarcity.



Conclusion This study is far from complete, but the choices we have made can at least guide the reader into this world - realistic - Created by the art of creating the characters of a novelist who does more on this plan. Knowing that he has created over a thousand characters, we know that Balzac had always pretend to compete with the registrar. And it seems he has not succeeded, it has not failed because some of his characters are in the memories of many generations of readers. The other success of Balzac is to have created a fictional world that has nothing to envy to the macrocosm. We will retain, at the end of the study, the analysis of characters allowed drilling update desires and motivations of the actions of any individual.
