He describes Rainy Mountain using his sensory imagination of how he feels and sees the landscape; colors in specific, making the audience have an idea of how it’s like when he mentions, “The grass turns brittle and brown… cracks beneath your feet.” He compares the many flashy insects as “yellow grasshoppers … everywhere… popping up like corn to sting the flesh…,” seeing the land with praise as to his culture of the Kiowas being reverent. Momaday passage portrays an earnest tone with pride and praise toward the land with words such as “old landmark,” loneliness,” and “imagination.” Brown’s contemptuous diction keeps his subject dull and liveliness for the Plains with choices such as “baked,” “drier,” and “endless” showing the opposite view from Momaday and his respective land. Brown being aloof toward the Plains makes him less engaging the fact that he showed negative aspects and careless with no emotion, just simplicity. He feels that earnest feeling considering the fact that there could have been a change if it wasn’t for what happened making him care now for the land, when he
This technique also helps set the tone as delightful. You see the darkness and how this nothingness of a factory is still so cheerful and lovely. In Edward Scissorhands, Tim Burton uses dark eerie lighting to achieve the same mysterious effect. For example, when Kevin and his friends were outside before they robbed his house, it was dark and eerie. When they shoved him into the room it was bright and empty with nothing but Edward.
Rhetorical Analysis on Orchard Scene Truman Capote, in the Orchard Scene of the novel In Cold Blood, explains how the Clutter home is frozen in time and changed drastically at the same time. Capote supports his explanation by using strong imagery, haunting diction, and a gloomy tone. The authors purpose is to show how the community of Holcomb lost its innocence when the Clutters were killed. Capote wants to make us feel like we are revisiting the Clutter home with Bobby, so he uses very rich imagery to help us imagine the home. It starts out with Bobby unconsciously going to the Clutter home.
Fitzgerald immediately juxtaposes the decadent materialistic setting of east egg with the new setting, the 'valley of ashes', which represents the destruction created from the materialistic. The valley of ashes is home to the working class and honest, yet they are surrounded by destruction made by those who live in East and West Egg. Fitzgerald describes the ashes with language that makes it seem organic, stating how it is 'growing' which fully exhibits how the waste from the Cities is building up in these small villages as if it were farmed. The setting has no colour except 'greying' men and cars lining the street, this juxtaposes the cleanliness within the Buchanan household previously where everything was 'white' as if it were pure, everything in the valley of ashes seems dirty, a wasteland. The only colour mentioned are the eyes of Dr Eckleburg, 'gigantic and blue' memorabilia of a forgotten time, the figure now looks over 'a dumping ground'.
“The village of Holcomb stands on the high wheat plains of western Kansas, a lonesome area that other Kansans call ‘out there.’…The land is flat, the views are awesomely extensive; horses, herds of cattle, a white cluster of grain elevators rising as gracefully as Greek temples are visible long before a traveler reaches them.” After reading this quotation, I naturally concluded that he is an emotional and sensitive guy. He has lots of thoughts. The quotation shows well his feeling about Kansas, and I think his words are descriptive and hard to understand at once to me. I sometimes got surprised at the fact that he really killed the Clutter’s family because he does not look that aggressive. Although he has experienced lots of violent events and happenings that can affect his mental negatively and his friends Hickock kind of uses Perry to commit the murders, he thinks like a child and has his own plans.
(Gn 8:16-17) Noah plants a vineyard and becomes drunk. His son Ham, sees his father naked and mocks him, so before Noah dies (at the age of 950), Noah curses Ham and his descendants to slavery. (Gn 9:22-25) Analysis The story of “Noah and the Great Flood”, which is recorded in The Book of Genesis, is believed to be written by two different authors, the J Source, otherwise known as the Yahwist, and the P Source, otherwise referred to as the Priestly Source. J’s segments are easy to spot because the God of Israel is referred to as Yahweh (translated Lord or Lord God). These parts of the story were written during the height of the United Kingdom of David in the 10th century BCE.
Through the use of symbols such as the Valley of Ashes, time, and the green light, he portrays the American society as a corruption of wealth. One of the first symbols introduced is the Valley of Ashes. The Valley of Ashes is the complete opposite of life in East Egg or West Egg. It is located between New York City and West Egg. In the novel, it is described as, "a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air" (Chapter 2, page 26).
In Of Mice and Men Steinbeck describes the bunk house as a basic living quarter which is made to be practical and barely reach the requirements to be called humane. The floor is covered in hay, there is only one table, everyone sleeps in bunks and conditions are crowded. We can depict from the first page that the bunkhouse was not originally designed to house humans but rather farm animals such as horses. The ranch is described as a place of loneliness and is a metaphor for the great depression. Even though the men are surrounded by others inside they are isolated by their lack of companionship , they have no trust in one another except slim for his word 'is law'.
This is exemplified through the quote: ‘The road and railway shrink away from their fantastic farm, where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills, and grotesque gardens.’ Fitzgerald’s description implies the failure of the American Dream, a prominent ideological mind set throughout 1920’s America that anybody can become somebody if they have the hope and will to succeed. By describing the way ‘ashes grow like wheat’ suggests that death and failure manifest in the ‘Valley of Ashes,’ the way in which wheat should grow and provide life. This stark juxtaposition between ‘wheat’ and ‘ashes’ indirectly reinforces the Marxist idea of class of origin = class of destination (the inability to move social class) thus reiterating the failure and meaningless sentiment to the American Dream. Another interpretation of the quote may find the repetition of the word ‘and’ (‘into the ridges and hills and grotesque gardens) further supports the Marxist idea of
