Harwood then says ‘They suffer’, emphasised by the short syntax. This sentence is ambiguous as to who’s suffering; the people or the composers themselves as Kröte is adding his own elements or 'variations' to the music. Kröte’s intentions are stressed with the alliteration of ‘malice’ and ‘more’, as he delights in reversing the power in society by playing his music badly and having no one notice. He even plays the repeats of the pieces through, just to add to the length of his performance, even though in the fifth stanza, the narrator tells us that 'he was expected to perform something short and sweet'. The use of the word ‘expected’ is important, as it shows how Kröte, in not doing what was expected of him, is in defiance of society.
This also could be used to describe to describe his view on life seeing that he thought people were “boring” if they were just like everyone else and cared about the little details. The author also uses italics to emphasize words like in this sentence: “I mean if they’re running and they don’t look where they’re going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them”. Just as the Salinger used italics for the same purpose, to show how Holden only cared about the main idea, which in this case was his unrealistic role as the “Catcher in the Rye”. Holden seemed to try to get the point of what he was trying to tell his sister while she kept on correcting him. Another strategy used by the author to effectively
a) Matisse did not understand perspective b) Matisse preferred flat space, and disliked shading c) his interests were in things other than pure verisimilitude c) he was more comfortable with the two-dimensional plane Answer: (c) 5. (Slide: Cezanne’s Madame Cezanne in a Red Armchair) (fig. 156; p. 116-117) This work illustrates that the artist was more interested in design, pattern, color and the activity of painting itself rather than an accurate representation of the figure. The artist is: a) Pablo Picasso b) Andrea Mantegna c) Phillip Pearlstein d) Paul Cezanne Answer: (d) Multiple Choice Questions without Slides 6. Typically of Japanese art, the Kumano Mandala (p. 112) creates the illusion of space by utilizing: a) oblique projection b) monocular projection c) linear perspective d)
This is satire; although the poem starts by apologizing for being half-caste, Agard means exactly the opposite. Agard argues that mixing colours in art, weather and symphonies does not make a half-thing When he says: ‘Yu mean when Picasso mix red an green is a half-caste canvas’, he is arguing that mixing colours is a good thing, and makes things better, yet it is not called a half-caste. He then carries out with the argument by writing how he must be able only to listen with half-a-ear, look with half-a-eye, offer us half-a-hand, etc. ; a sarcastic, even angry, accusation of the word ‘half’ in ‘half-caste’. He finishes by saying: ‘but yu must come back tomorrow wid … de whole of yu mind’ – here he is trying to say or rather point out that it is us who have been thinking with only half-a-brain when we thoughtlessly use the word ‘half-caste’.
This causes the audience to feel uneasy about the narrator and his reasons behind doing what he does to Porphyria. The language that her lover uses is used in a way that almost dehumanises her. “In one yellow string” this example shows just how much he dehumanises her and just how little he thinks of her towards the end of the poem. Not only this but Browning uses mono-syllabic words which slows the pace, this gives the reader chance to understand just what’s happened. The use of monosyllabic words also shows just how calm the narrator is about the situation he has placed himself in after killing Porphyria, much like how the structure does.
Because the “colored” were not like the rest, the people were prejudice and immediately thought that they were mischievous and would disregard their presence. That situation, however, had an eminent connection to prejudice in the 1950’s. However, Mr. Johnson’s love of art began when creating art in private, yet, when seen by others he was encouraged to show the people of Pleasantville. His passion pushed him to paint on his windows for the whole town to see, despite the fact that art and colors were frowned upon by others. Mr. Johnson’s passion for art drove him to explore other kinds of art, art with new shapes and colors.
The speaker remains unnamed throughout the poem; in the last line the speaker is just “He.” This further ridicules the speaker, by making him generic, or just a typical politician; they all ramble on about nonsense they do not even take time to fully consider. “next to of course god america i” is a poem aimed at revealing the potential of abusing patriotism to sway people’s thoughts. Patriotism can be used to manipulate people into doing things they usually wouldn’t. This implicit theme is enforced throughout the poem by allusions and other literary devices [pic] and suggests that the poem is not actually unpatriotic. The speaker is admonishing people on being wary of how patriotism is used and uses sarcasm to accent his position.
Lord Henry misunderstand the meaning of that sentence and says that the painter is nothing like the beautiful man in the painting. Basil clarifies his earlier statement by saying that « every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter » (p.8 l.28). Lord Henry insists on meeting the young beautiful man, but Basil, for a strage reason refuses. He wants to protect the boy’s innocent purity from Lord Henry’s
Instead of being a calm, positive outlook on love like ‘Sonnet 116’, this poem is very ambiguous and quite unsettling. It really highlights the fact that love and hate aren’t really that far apart. The poet shows an unsympathetic side of himself, something from his past that he is rather ashamed of and is still 'very bothered'
In his short story “Cathedral” Raymond Carver challenges the conventional ideas often associated with blindness and sight. The irony in this story is that it takes a blind man to make a seeing man see. Most stereotypes tend to make us feel superior in some way to the person or group being stereotyped. Stereotypes ignore the uniqueness of individuals by painting all members of a group with the same brush. All of us have prejudices about members of groups different from ourselves.
