Although it may sound mysterious I would like to find out whether the silver-tongued cat in “Puss in Boots” is more skilful than the cat in “Master Cat” which is more silent but its thoughts are hidden in its internal monologue. Both these phrases can be applied to the authors as well, Carter is the “silver-tongued” one and Perrault is the “silent” but with latent moralities. At first I am going to introduce briefly the plot of both stories. Perrault’s tale begins when heritage of an old miller is being divided among his three sons. The youngest one receives a cat, which finally turns out to be a great triumph.
Another way the cat shows dominance over the owner is through the use of ‘greed’ and ‘fear’ in line 19, this contrasts showing a dominant and submissive side, the cat show’s a submissive side to maintain it’s relationship with the owner but initially still knows he is the more dominant one. The language choice used by the poet portrays the cat’s dominance over its owner Secondly the poet also used technical devices in order to convey dominance. The poet uses a simile ‘’wait like a trap’’ to portray the cats dominance as he is commanding the owner and teaching him new skills which also presents the cat to be smarter than it’s possessor. In addition the author also uses a metaphor in line 14 ‘’My emotion are as pure as salt and as hard’’ salt is known as a healer for wounds but can also be very painful, this again is contrasting between that cat’s dominant and submissive side. In addition the poet also uses pronouns ‘I’ to show that the cat is always putting himself before the owner, which portrays its dominance and control over the owner.
OUTLINE FOR INFORMATIVE SPEECH TOPIC: CATS A) INTRODUCTION ATTENTION-GETTING OPENER Sleeping together, playing together, and eating together. All of my activities I’m doing with my loves one. It is a cat that I called Chik. I love cats very much. Cats are a part of my life.
I will also comment on the relevance to modern society for example, loneliness and isolation. Bennett’s techniques show his mastery of comedy in its exploitation but also in the characterisation of Miss Ruddock. The story of Miss Ruddock is a dramatic monologue- she is the only speaker. It starts with Miss Ruddock writing letters and seeming happy, although still lonely. Later in the play, her before ‘happiness’ becomes loneliness and obsession over the ‘kiddy’.
In 'The Cat and the Moon', Yeats uses descriptions of the natural world to move from the playful triviality of nature to using images of nature to question what we can and cannot know as humans. He challenges the outward simplicity of nature by reflecting it in his poem alongside suggestions that there may be something magical within nature that cannot always be seen on the surface. Throughout the poem, Yeats has chosen to use a very playful rhythm, like one expected of a nursery rhyme; simple and songlike. This rhythm is particularly noticeable in the opening of the poem, "The cat went here and there And the moon spun round like a top." This simple rhythm reflects Yeats simplistic view of nature and the pleasure and delight he feels nature should bring to people.
In the novel Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens, the theme of the redemptive power of selfless love is conveyed continuously throughout the book through several characters. The main character, Pip, conveys this message throughout most of the book with his words. He says, “Estella seemed more delicately beautiful than she had ever yet, even in my eyes.” (Dickens, 266) Pip says this after seeing Estella for the first time in a while. At this point she had been very unkindly towards him and he still loved her and was infatuated with her. Pip said, “I took it upon myself to impress Biddy.” (Dickens, 144) Pip should not necessarily have any commitments to Biddy since she is very harsh to him but he still feels grateful that she is helping him with his studies.
WRITE ABOUT THE WAY TENNYSON TELLS THE STORY IN TITHONUS The Victorian poet Alfred Tennyson manipulates the narrative of the well-known story of Tithonus so the character achieves a sense of desperation, unhappiness and desolation. The aim of the writer is that the reader wonders about what is appropriate for a man and what is the limit that humans should not overstep. The poem Tithonus is an allusion: Tennyson uses a story familiar to the readers at the time to show his existential views on life. The genre of the poem is dramatic monologue. Therefore, the speaker addresses a silent audience: Eos, the Greek goddess of dawn: “Thy cheek begins to redden thro’ the gloom, /Thy sweet eyes brighten slowly close to mine”.
The Cat in the Rain and The Chrysanthemums Both of these beautifully written stories are about unfulfilled women. Interestingly, both are written by ‘manly’ men, each of whom we would refer to as “a man’s man”. Both The Chrysanthemums and The Cat in the Rain are allegorical stories, having a simple plot which is meant to hold one’s interest on its own, but with deeper intended meanings which reveal truths about the heroines and the lesser characters. I will discuss each one, and then compare them. Steinbeck uses both nature and descriptive devices to convey a tone and a reality which enhances the underlying message of his story.
Throughout the poem Rosenberg reveals his perspective on the uselessness of war using symbolic images of a rat “A queer sardonic rat” to a creature that benefits and a poppy as a flower that can grow form dead corpses. The poet has used vibrant imagery, symbolism, phonetic techniques, along with other techniques to achieve & express the anger & sarcasm he felt towards the war. During this poem, Rosenberg’s usage of the relationship between animals and humans helps the readers to see the irony of the war. In the first verse the poet introduces the two symbolic images used in this poem, the rat & the poppy. As the poem continues, the soldier talks to the rat, as he says that the rat will we safe from the disturbance that is going on between the two fronts.
He then realised in hearing the familiar sound he soon picked it up by saying is a ‘’cat’’ to Miss Nicole. He continued to recognise the rest of the pictures. He knew them correctly by saying horse, sheep, dog, pig and penguin. Interpretation: Fine motor: the assistance handed out the memory cards while Leo takes a hold of the picture cards with both hands on the table. Cognitive: The assistance helps him by giving him clues in one of the pictures which was a cat noise.
