Distinctively visual Question: how composers use distinctively visual techniques to create meaning in texts. Distinctively visual technique holds great ability to convey powerful message through the text to the responders. This is evident in the play “shoehorn sonata” as its composer John Misto explores the horror of war and the importance of friendship during the invasion of Singapore in 1942. Similarly Nick Ut’s photograph “The Napalm Girl” illustrates the brutality of human conflict in the Vietnam War as well as the innocent civilian that is mercilessly treated. Both texts demonstrates the atrocity that war brings using visual techniques although they rely on different ways to convey their message.
In life there is a death, or two that occur. Death is not literal in its definition or nature, but is a state. Two stories capture this stigmatic though in whole, through character observation. “A Rose For Emily”, by William Faulkner, is a story that draws you into the characters’ trials and tribulations to instigate the assumption of death. The other story, “The Cask of Amontillado”, by Edgar Allen Poe, draws you in with a child-like mentality of revenge and hostility to shut out the erroneous belief of kindness in the man’s heart.
As Martin Luther King once said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” The connection between families and soldiers is affected by the war. Eric Bogle’s poem, The Green Fields of France, demonstrates the anti-war sentiment through the impact on the society due to the loss of young lives. Homecoming, by Bruce Dawe, explores the dehumanisation and pointlessness of war that thoroughly implicate the imperative relationship between soldiers and their families. The poem, The Charge of The Light Brigade by Lord Alfred Tennyson, presents the bravery and courage of the soldiers to sacrifice themselves in battle to defend their nation. The poets are using clear visual and aural poetic techniques to explore the relationship between the
Ahab sees himself equal with God and he rejects God for an alliance with the devil. Ahab does not believe himself to be powerful but he aligns himself with the devil during his quest. Ahab believes that the ship can carry him further into regions that God does not reign over. Ahab’s quest for Moby Dick is an act of defiance towards God. Mr. Hooper, the minister in The Black Veil is a man of secret sin and darkness.
Hume concluded that the three points are inconsistent. If God is omnipotent, He is aware of existing evil and suffering, and knows how to put a stop to it. If God is omnibenevolent He will want to put a stop to it. If God is both of these attributes, then evil cannot exist. Since we know evil and suffering is a necessary bi-product of human life, we must acknowledge that evil does exist.
There is also Dr Lanyon, who is seen to be completely opposed to the science of Jekyll but loses his Victorian values to his curiosity when Jekyll reveals his secret. The contrast of “Henry Jekyll’s Full Statement of the Case” to the narrative of Mr Utterson in the other chapters of this book shows duality because Mr Utterson uses the other characters as a point of view whereas Jekyll’s statement of the case looks from only his perspective. Stevenson uses the lasting moral message that good and evil are conflicting inside people - the way that savagery and civilisation contrast and our effects on religion and science. Robert Louis Stevenson uses the character of Sir Danvers Carew to portray that civilisation and religion are important for good people whereas Mr Hyde shows evil through his curiosity of life and his height to represent youth, showing that Jekyll’s youthful sins; which were not explained in detail are replicated as Hyde. This is a comment on Victorian values that Stevenson is making.
In Christianity, the breaking of our God’s law is called sin. This is a universal term for many religions that typically means wrong-doing and is considered evil. In Catholicism, sin is broken down into two categories: mortal sin, and venial sin. Mortal sin is considered grave, serious sin that is the knowing and willful violation of God’s law. It is called mortal because it is considered the spiritual death of the soul, and without repentance, it is said to fully separate you from God eternally.
Though Romans says that human nature is that we are sinners. Human beings are slaves to sin and seem to be powerless against it. We understand that we are not righteous at all, and that we need a relationship with God, so that we can be empowered by His righteous. His righteous comes through our faith in Jesus Christ. Only he can redeem, justify, and sanctify us, and we need all three for our salvation.
Their decision to turn away from God-despite living in paradise because of him- created the first evil and gave rise to original sin, something all humans are born with (According to Catholicism.) The misuse of free will in turning away from God leads to obsession to worldly objects such as money. It is important to note that Augustine does not believe money is evil, he believes obsession with money, and any other secular object for that matter, draws away from God and leads the soul to sin. With obsession, as is human nature, comes addiction. Augustine believed that addiction was excessively evil, and as well as being a sin, conflicted with the process of free will.
Guilt before and after ‘Is this a dagger which I see before me’: hallucination from guilt “Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood clean from my hand?” “Let not light see my black and deep desires” Ambition Quotes “ I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, but only vaulting ambition” is metaphor to show ambition is the only thing that is keeping him going “unsex me here, and fill me….
