Secondly, I believe it uses Pathos. When Jake tells the jurors that he is going to tell them a story and wants them to close their eyes is when it starts to get emotionally heavy; especially when he goes into every detail of how the two white men grabbed the little girl and raped her. Some emotional terms Jake uses to promote pathos are, shattering everything innocent and pure, vicious thrusts, fog of drunken breath and sweat, killed her tiny womb, and murdering any chance of her to bear children. These gruesome terms are used to get through to the jurors and make them realize the severity of this case. Jake builds a bridge with the audience towards the end when he starts to get emotional and cry.
In Frankenstein, allusion to the ancient poem, ‘Rime of Ancient Mariners’, is phrased by both Walton and Victor- ‘I shall kill no albatross’, ’with this deadly weight around my neck’. ‘Rime of Ancient Mariners’ is a didactic poem that tells the deaths of all of Mariner’s sailors after the unintentional killing of an albatross by the Mariner. Albatross symbolises the divine quality of nature and shows that Walton is thoroughly aware of the unrelenting outcome from destroying the nature. Ironically, Walton closely resembles the Mariner, whose persistence to continue his voyage threatens his ship and alienates himself from his crew. Unlike to Walton, Victor views his guilt of breaking that fundamental bond as ‘deadly weight around his neck’ which strongly eloquent to the part of the poem where the Mariner is forced to carry dead albatross around his neck due to his guilt.
Richard uses pathos when he writes, “ I know longer felt that the world about me was hostile, killing; I knew it” (251). When he says, “I knew it” he creates a powerful sense of glory that generates emotion. Another example of pathos is when his friend yells at him, “Dick, look, you’re black, black, black, see? Can’t you understand that?" (183).
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I charge the white man with being the greatest kidnapper on Earth”, overlap an image of the American flag which is interrupted by a video of police brutally attacking a Negro, then American flag begins to burn into the shape of an X. Two contradictory perspectives are introduced. On one hand, the burning of the flag is symbolic of his disrespect and disregard for the constitutional values and nationalism of America, portraying the view that Malcolm X challenged the accepted values and promoted an aggressive attack on America. On the other hand, his harsh words are justified by the confronting video, representing him as a positive voice for the Black Civil Rights movement and aiming to achieve peace, justice and equality. Lee has already drawn the audience into the conflict and tension.
A man called John Oxley said” They trembled excessively and were absolutely intoxicated with fear….”. This happened when two Indigenous men saw his party. A wise, notable, Indigenous resistance fighter called Yagan was feared and admired by the British colonist. He fought for his peoples rights and seeked revenge as one of his own was killed. He quoted saying ‘ A black man claims nothing as his own but his cloak, his weapons and his name..
It tells of the horrors that the innocent men, women and children went through at the expense of Americans soldiers. Another poem, “Truth Blazes Even in Little Children’s Hearts” by Huy Can, a Vietnamese native, reflected on Beideler’s poem. Can wrote, “America, America! Don’t you hear the screams Of those thousands of children Consumed by the golden fire? Golden fire of napalm Golden fire of dollars Which eats the flesh Like a cancer.” Can was getting his point across by using guilt.
The Americans are back in your sights now though, it is the voice of Poets. And in them My, you see your own Self again. In the words of the Out Cast. See Ginsberg, See “Howl to Carl Solomon: I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked...” And lets not forget his America “… I have given you everything…” The prodigal child in conversation with their ‘wayward parent’; their country; their fellow citizens. The Beat boys gave us the words of Visionary Children speaking truths; showing things as they are, revelling in
Proem “I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked...angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night...who passed through universities with radiant cool eyes... who were expelled from the academies for crazy & publishing obscene odes on the windows of the skull...who vanished into nowhere...leaving a trail of ambiguous picture postcards...” (Howl by Allan Ginsberg, 1956) Whilst reading Sylvia Nasar’s biography of John Nash (Nasar, 1998), from which all biographical information in this case study is taken, I was often reminded of these famous opening lines of Allen Ginsberg’s epic poem Howl, especially where he refers to the best minds of his generation being destroyed by madness. This resonated with me and, when I looked more closely, I found many echoes between Nash’s and Ginsberg’s life stories: they were born on similar dates two years apart in the 1920’s (Ginsberg 03/06/26, Nash 13/06/26); they were both mavericks and outsiders; they each had a parent who was a school teacher (Ginsberg’s father, Nash’s mother); they both spent time in mental hospitals; Ginsberg’s mother, like Nash, was a schizophrenic; in the 1950’s, they spent time contemporaneously in New York, Boston and New Jersey, mostly but not always, in universities, with interludes in California; Ginsberg was expelled from Columbia for scribbling obscenities on the window of his dorm room at Columbia (Miles, 1990), and, while I can find no reference to this in Nasar’s biography of Nash, in the film A Beautiful Mind, he is shown scribbling maths equations on the windows of his own dorm room (Howard, 2001); like one of the protagonists of Ginsberg’s poem, Nash too disappeared into nowhere, leaving a trail of ambiguous picture postcards. Of course there are many differences
