The words jingling and tinkling highlight the small size of the bells that make them so delicate. As we can see, Poe uses literary devices quote heavily in his poetry to illustrate certain images that he wants to stand out. In this poem, he mostly uses onomatopoeia and diction to express the quiet and delicate bells of section one of his poem The
Other examples of use of language add to the atmosphere. Words such as “fall, palsied, low, drops, draws thin” relating to the natural aspects of the poem, add to the calm nature of the atmosphere. Things are falling and dying but not in an excruciatingly painful way, but more so going to sleep, like the earth does in the winter. The theme of slowness affects the aspects of the animals mentioned in the poem as well, with the sheep being described as “snail-backed”. The use of the word snail evokes an image of calm and slowness in the poem.
Constant air-raid warnings went off every time a United States weather plane flew by. They got so used to the air-raid warning that when it did go off they just ignored it and continued on with daily activities. Civilian who lived in Hiroshima knew the risk of a bomb attack, so some evacuated. Others destroyed their homes hoping to prevent
They start shooting; Montagues trying to flee, firing their guns at anything like cans, signs but people. The Capulets are more violent, aim at their rivals, even shoot one of them. As the yellow convertible zooms out of the gas station with its panicking passengers, the gas pump falls on the ground... Benvolio is left behind. Tybalt drops his cigar onto the leaking fuel which causes the gas station explode. The fire and the music is very dramatic, makes the audience think that the fight is over but instead it carries on between two sides on Verona’s streets till the police ends it from the helicopter.
The Haunter Imaginatively, and most pathetically, Hardy writes this plaintive and moving poem from the point of view of Emma. It is written in the first person, with her as the imaginary narrator. It is almost as if, in putting these words in the mouth of Emma (who, in the poem, sees Hardy as oblivious of her presence) Hardy is trying to reassure himself that she forgives him and continues to love him. Detailed commentary Though Hardy does not know it, Emma's phantom follows him in his meanderings, hearing, but unable to respond to, the remarks he addresses to her in his grief. When Emma was able to answer Hardy did not address her so frankly; when she expressed a wish to accompany him Hardy would become reluctant to go anywhere - but now he does wish she were with him.
Everyone piled out and started to move towards the second Humvee when all of a sudden explosions rocked the street about 100 meters in front of us. Rockets and explosive devices were quickly turning the street into a death trap. I signaled for my team from the first Humvee to scatter to the cover of the side streets. I could see the bullets landing at my feet kicking up dust and sand, making it hard to breathe. Sweat was pouring off of me caking dust and sand to my face and stinging my eyes.
In chapter 14, starting on page 103 at “I wasn’t knocked out or anything” and ending on page 104 at “while I was bleeding and all”, a theme portrayed was Mortality. A way that mortality is portrayed through this paragraph is by word choice. J.D. Salinger has Holden using strong word choice by saying words such as: drowning, plugged, staggering, trickling, high-pitched, leaking, and screaming. Using strong word choice can also help the reader imagine a vivid picture; dull and boring words may prevent the reader from seeing vivid pictures.
Julie Divine Ms. Stacy Gaines, MA English ENGL 1313-E.202 12 August 2011 Working under pressure I instantly woke up to the sound of the tone out; it seemed as if we had just laid down. I jumped in my boots zipped them up and hurried out the door to save someone who had called 911 for chest pain in the middle of the night. In my fog I was thinking where 2300 South Jefferson is, but within seconds we were there. As we pulled up, I saw several of bystanders standing around. I told my EMT to grab the cot as I got the medical bag, monitor, and oxygen.
“It’s go time” my sergeant exclaimed. The engine roared as we pushed the Humvee’s towards the kill zone. “This is what I was meant for” I kept telling myself as we hurtled towards our friends. Suddenly, I was upside down, a loud ringing engulfed my entire body. Then gunshots, like a swarm of bees, swarmed all over the Humvee slamming into the sides.
You can see the dehumanization throughout the poem for example in line one when Ginsberg writes, “repetitive machine Crash cookie-cutting.†When he says, “repetitive,†this lets you know that the same thing is being done over and over again, like it is a program. “Cookie-cutting,†says that there is a template and it is being mass produced. Line two and three state, “dynamo rows of soulless replica Similitudes brooding tank-like in Army Depots.†The mention of the tank-like Army Depots means that what he sees is just an area filled with orderly components. Then again in line four, “exactly the same exactly the same exactly the same with no ……..†Not only is Ginsberg directly telling you that there is no variation, but by him repeating, “exactly the same,†he further pushes his views. In line six, “overwhelming force of robot obsession, our slaves are not alive,†by him saying robot obsession he means that people are being forced into this dehumanized environment, and that we are just slaves of society.
