In “The Minister's Black Veil” Mr. Hooper, while talking to Elizabeth explains “If I hide my face for sorrow, there is cause enough...” (Hawthorne 447) In other words Mr. Hooper has no choice but to comply for his sin by wearing the veil. And in “Sinners in the hands of an Angry God” Jonathan Edwards tell his congregation that hell is the place one will go if they commit a sin. Edwards describes with vivid details “ it is a great furnace of wrath a wide and bottomless pit, full of the fire of wrath, that they are held over in the hand of that God, whose wrath is provoked and incensed as much against you, as against many of the dammed in hell”. Saying that hell is where God will send the helpless evil
GAS! Quick, boys!’ places a confronting reality amongst the literature. In addition, polysyllabic verbs such as ‘fumbling’, ‘stumbling’ and ‘floundering’ force you, the reader to place emphasis on these depictive words which create visuals and mirror those moments of sheer desperation. It is through the controlling techniques of pace and imagery in my poetry that I hoped to depict the violence and utter vulnerability of life at war. However, the horror does not stop there, the dehumanisation is unrelenting.
In fact, hell represent all the worst feelings and situations that exist: the chaos, the disorder, the fear, the disarray and the punishment. Actually, it means all what a damned have to endure for his punishment. Thus, when Guessous 2

Taking a mouthful of bread, Krote questions “Is this food? He finds it worse than starving”. The use of rhetorical question represents again the reoccurring idea of alienation.
Also it contains excess word to express the meaning of the word. The ideas and thought of this poem are disorganizing. APT is about humanity´s hatred upon other people, and every sentence has whole meaning. Second is about rhyme, meter, scheme etc…ATP rhymes perfectly throughout, and each stanza has central purpose. For ATP, in the first couplet, the speaker is angry at his friend; in the second, at his foe.
prospero was furious, and traps and enslaves him. Shakespeare presents caliban as ugly using other characters dialogua. For example, trinculo thinks that hi ‘smells like a fish’. This is using a simile to compare him. Trinculo takes a closer look, and observes that he is ‘legged like a man’ with ‘fins like arms’, so ha concludes that he must be ‘an islander that hath lately suffered by a thunderbolt’.
The absurd is not in man alone nor in the world alone, but in the juxtaposition of the two: “The world in itself is not reasonable, that is all that can be said. But what is absurd is the confrontation of this irrational and the wild longing for clarity whose calls echoes in the human heart.” (The myth of Sisyphus) III. Suicide. Suicide is not a logical consequence of the absurd. It attempts to escape the absurd by removing one of its elements: the human longing for order (philosophical) of the unbearable, unintelligible world (physical).
This idea is highlighted in the first line of the poem: “the skin cracks like a pod”. This simile highlights desiccation experienced by the villagers. It also conveys to the readers that the extent to which the water is absent is highly significant that cracks start to form on the skin due to the absence of water. Another example of water being considered highly valuable in the poem is the poet’s use of the metaphor “the sudden rush of fortune”. This image resembles a jackpot-winning scene, whereby money is coming out of the jackpot machine continuously.
On the contrary, imprisoned in the Puritan way of thinking, the scarlet letter leads Arthur Dimmesdale to his fall. He is indeed gnawed by guilt and secrecy. *** The scarlet letter symbolises the Puritan’s stance on adultery and is considered as a deadly sin. The scarlet letter is referred to in almost every page. One has the impression that the letter represents the Puritan’s message that is drilled to the population in order to anchor it in their mind.
