“Crash” is also based solely on racism and the change that people encounter when they are put into certain and surreal circumstances. Both films are as equally good but “Crash” definitely steps it up a notch with its camera effects and visual points. “Crash” connects each scene by using effects, where as “Magnolia” is based solely from the cameras ability.

Krystal Brooks September 17, 2012 AP Literature (M1): 12th Grade Mrs. Horton In Fay Weldon’s reflective short story, “Ind Aff”, the narrator struggles to understand her love affair with a married man and realizes that she does not have inordinate affection for him as she thinks when her life is compared to the murder of an Archduke.

In the story, Mink and Mrs. Morris have such a poor relationship because of the lack in relationship technology has created between them. Mink is playing “Invasion” while her mother is just in the house letting it take care of itself, instead of being with her daughter and building a relationship. She talks to her friend Helend on the “audio-visor” (174) and sitting in “the electric relaxing chair” (175) while Mink is out helping “Drill” invade planet Earth. Throughout The Illustrated Man, it is clear that Bradbury believes that technology and its dependency will only lead to destruction and hardship. He is extremely anti-technology and he makes that clear through his multiple examples of technology replacing relationships and ultimately causing damage and even death.

Imagery Language that appeals to the five senses: sight, sound, taste, touch, smell “They were flat, round wafers, slightly browned on the edges and butter-yellow in the center.” “Her voice slid in and curved down through and over the words.” Dramatic Irony The audience or reader knows something a character does not know In The Diary of Anne Frank, the audience knows Anne does not survive the Holocaust, but she often writes in her diary about what she will do after the war. Situational Irony When what happens is very different from what we would expect to happen A policeman is arrested, a fireman’s house burns down Verbal Irony when what is said is the opposite of what is meant; sarcasm A basketball player throws an air ball and a teammate yells, “Nice shot!” Metaphor A comparison between two unlike objects without using “like” or “as” Her smile is a ray of sunshine even on the darkest mornings.
