Mitch’s behaviour towards Blanche can be directly blamed on Stanley and Steve. In the final scene the audience sees Mitch as a courageous man when he acknowledges why Blanche is so damaged, Mitch identifies that Stanley has broken Blanche when he says “You done this”. Mitch’s true emotions come forth and Williams stage directions show that Mitch collapses at the table, sobbing. Throughout the play Mitch is seen as the alternative to the power driven alpha male like Stanley. Mitch’s kind character is also contrasted with the harsh character of Stanley.
The students showed this by becoming “listless” during his stories. His tone and words were always picked with sarcastic criticism, too; for example, “I don’t mean to be polite or impolite, either. I guess it’s a sort of way I have, of saying things regardless.” (Cather, 245). I think Paul used this to separate himself from the rest of the dull crowd around him. Paul hated his surroundings, he felt so disgusted by it all that he presented himself in the most obnoxious way; hoping that some day those around him would grow to appreciate his distinct
In Notes from Underground, the narrator shows emotion from the beginning of the story. He begins by telling the readers “I’m… a mean man” (84). By describing himself as a mean man lets the reader know that he is capable of showing emotion. However, the emotion he portrays throughout the novella is always anger at the world because he never felt loved by anyone. The only way he can demonstrate his feelings is by being angry at the world and mean.
So here is kind of contradictory that even though he hates the British Empire, but he still work for them, and these action has reflect the definition of ambivalence. * The reason why I choose “D. antipathy” is because base on the same quote I found in the paragraph 2, he directly blame all the environment he had. He hate the people, hate his imperial country Britain, and he job. So I use to think that since he has such dislike about everything, apathy should be the correct answer.
It enraged me. It was their confidence, maybe--their blissful, swinish ignorance, their bumptious self satisfaction, and, worst of all, theirhope" We see that in this quote Grendel slowly starts to become annoyed with the humans. The reason Grendel thinks this way is because all he hears from them is the praise they talk about of Hrothgar and god. "I had become something, as if born again. I had hung between possibilities before, between the cold truths i knew and the heart-sucking conjuring tricks of the Shaper: now that was passed: I was Grendel, Ruiner of Meadhalls, Wrecker of Kings!"
The narrator uses lexis,”oh” which has a very casual connotation. This supports that the narrator is disturbed as he casually enlightens us with his horrific war injures which are very graphic and he blends in with other texts which makes the us have doubts in whether to trust him or not. Additionally, the narrators ends the paragraph in an amouns way as articulates “But not having much success “, this tells us that he has no sense of humor and that this line is isolated which makes us have a nerve ending. Hence, making us feel uncomfortable. Moreover, the narrator uses a isolating sentence “and finally I pray for Larry LaSalle”.
A technique used to enhance the mood is imagery. Such as, describing the soldiers as “Bent double, like old beggars under sacks”. By using this simile it gives us a good description of the soldiers and suggests how unclean, malnourished and the health the soldiers are. Another good image used is “Drunk with fatigue” this implies the idea of the soldiers being unaware of things happening around them but by saying they are drunk with fatigue gives the idea they are struggling to move, even stand because they’re so tired from fighting. By using words like “sludge” and “trudge” contrasts with the way an average person perceives the idea of a soldier, they are usually seen as marching and singing songs to keep up spirits however this is not the case here.
As he says, “it is a high time to face the persecutors who haunt the bright kid with thick glasses from kindergarten to the grave.” The bullying, the teasing, and the harassing for their abilities and their “disgusting taste” must be stopped, as stated in his writing. Using a firm tone toward the issue you can tell he has experienced this, and that connects him deeper with the audience though pathos. Leonid Fridman shows a very negative attitude towards the focus of “Nerds and Geeks.”He supports disagreement through pathos, satire, and a impressive word choice, He over take the mind of the reader with these rhetorical strategies. Through elementary school, middle school, and in high school, everyone needs their nerds and
This simile is an important contrast of the information people were fed at the time of soldiers being strong and proud. Owen strips away the image of a glorified war to reveal the bitter and cruel nature of the war. The bitter imagery “Coughing like hags” and “but limped on” also develops the idea of these young man seeming old. Owen takes pity on these tired and weary soldiers as he describes them in the most unglamorous, inglorious manner. The statement “all went lame, all blind’, while being somewhat hyperbolic suggests that the soldiers had lost all previous objectives of war along with the line “cursed through sludge”.
Owen sympathizes with the vain young men who have no idea of the horrors of war, who are 'seduced' by others (Jessie Pope) and the recruiting posters. The detail in Owen's poetry puts forward his scenes horrifically and memorably. His poems are suffused with the horror of battle. Many of Owen's poems bring across disturbing themes and images, which stay in the mind long after readers have read them. His aim is not poetry, but to describe the full horrors of war.
