It is expressed throughout McCarthy’s book by the love they have for one another, the need to be good, the father’s desire to protect, the child’s innocence, and the vision of the boy being God-like. The man only has the boy to protect from the evil of the nuclear winter. He shows many defiant acts that help the boy get one day closer to the south and to safety. The man protects the boy and loves him until his last breath along the coast. This allows the boy to mature in some way and continue his journey to safety.
In Joe Wilson’s Courtship, Lawson conveys Joe’s strong emotions by giving his heart a human characteristic. “And, my heart gave a jump.” The way that Lawson portrays his characters emotion is very visually helpful through the use of personification, allowing the audience to further understand and reinforce the image from the emotion that the composer creates. In the Drover’s Wife, Lawson uses personification to reflect the landscape; to reinforce the tone and dry typical Australian outback. “She-oaks ‘sighing’ on the creek bed”. This visual image also provides a little bit of relief to the ear from the dry tone in the eye in the view.
It is almost as though this poem is written to conclude that killing woodchucks is a justified right, as long as whoever is doing so is of higher status. The character describes herself as, "puffed with Darwinian devotions (16)", which almost seems like it forgives her actions. The poem goes on without any remorse or sadness when the woodchucks are being killed. Instead, there is an increased excitement which appears to be fueled by the power of the characters weapon, the gun. Throughout the poem, there are many references to the weapon.
This quote shows that Odysseus bow is not easy too string only he can string it proving that he is strong physically. Odysseus is in disguise when he is given the bow so they don’t know that it’s really him stringing his own bow. Another quote that also shows how strong he is can be “So the great solider took his bow and bent it for the bowstring effortlessly. He drilled the axe heads clean, sprang, and decanted arrows on the door sill, glared, and drew again. This time he killed Antinoos.”(450, 196-201).
The author sets the mood in a happy way when a calamity should be miserable. The poet uses similes to make the tone more joyful. “Dogs barked and the children sprouted like dandelions on my lawn,” is a perfect example which compares the dogs and children to dandelions. It means that they appeared very quickly just like how dandelions grow really fast. Dandelions are also known to be happy flowers so this sets the mood in a more soothing and calming place.
Perkins believes that by putting text into rhythm children are immediately becoming familiar with language (2008) and I believe that this makes it more fun for the children as they are able to join in and will remember how to count to twenty by remembering a simple rhyme. However, I feel that the first number book is more beneficial to a child’s development as they are made to recognise numbers and match them to a picture rather than remember a simple pattern. Words means
Before the fun is almost lost, you and your brothers take your findings inside to perhaps keep as a trophy or reminder of the day. In the painting the Westwood Children, 1807, Joshua Johnson has captured a moment of innocence and comradery with his use of muted colors, portrayal of figures, and unified use of space. This wonderful painting of brotherly love apparently takes place inside the boys’ home. The three boys are all dressed in the same green pant suit. Accompanying the children is a black dog which appears to be the children’s best friend.

Having a “schoolboy’s passion” for something shows that you are excited and thrilled about it; in other words, Arthur Kipps’ was feeling optimistic about his journey to come. This shows an obvious difference between Arthur’s emotions and the pathetic fallacy as Arthur’s surroundings are showing signs of evil and malevolence but his emotions reflect on his optimism and
