Another time ethos was demonstrated was when Richard was reading. While reading he said, “I looked at the other book; it was called Prejudices. I knew what that word meant; I heard it all my life. And right off I was on guard against Mencken’s books” (248). The word prejudice was significant enough to change his mind about Mencken.
Both MacFarland and Bimbi inspired the two author’s to actually want to read, to learn. In Rose’s experience, he writes, “…McFarland had hooked me. He tapped my old interest in reading…I suppose I had been mediocre for too long” . For Malcolm X, the motivation came from “…Bimbi, who" first made me feel envy of his stock of knowledge”. The authors of 1 these articles wanted to expand their knowledge in some way.
For example, when he wrote, “ I could cross in front of a car stopped at a traffic light and elicit thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk, of the driver – black, white, male, or female – hammering down the door locks” (Staples, 336). The word “thunk” is used as a description of the insensitive attitude that the people in the car would have. This also shows the bias of people, even within his own race.

Various other themes include: love, pride and the oppression of women.! The first of the Bloody Chamber stories, ‘The Bloody Chamber’ introduces us to a chamber of bodies, fresh with the “blue imprint of his strangler’s fingers.” and therefore suggests a violent instinct. Indeed, this in itself unveils an extremely shocking projection of the violence taken towards women as the word “fingers” echoes murder being a definite instinct of the Marquis, as he is able to do it with the brutality of his own hands. However, It could be argued that it is not Carter’s fascination with violence that is prevalent in her writing, but her criticism of the complicit and passive nature of women, accepting the dire consequences of curiosity. Thus, violence is not as “excessive” here, but plays as a stimulus to present Carter’s feminist view.
Although, both Amir and Rahim Khan tell their stories in a formal manner. Hosseini does this to add ferocity to the story, whilst the change of manner of voice suggests a significant change to the reader. Hosseini uses the change of voice to show a turning point within the story as Hassan is brought back to Amir’s memory. The whole chapter is spoken in Rahim Khan’s narrative and is mostly his dialogue in monologue, though readers understand that Amir is listening as he references his presence, ‘‘You’d recognise him.’’ The style of monologue helps tell the story personally so that the readers become involved and indulge in every detail. It also allows sole focus on the story Rahim Khan is telling, once again pointing to extreme significance and importance within the story.

A.O.W #13 Soapstone ~ Sophie Perez Period 5 ~ 455 words While reading an excerpt from, “There Will Come Soft Rains,” Ray Bradbury can be easily identified as a skilled author who uses a perfected use of imagery to show the setting of the story. The author may believe that the Cold War was a time to unite friends and achieve a sense of relief only after society’s problems are resolved. He may have lived through the beginning to the very end of the Cold War since all the details seem precise. To capture the tension that he showed in his descriptive writing. I think that the author wrote this story because he wanted to share an experience or certain thoughts.

A victim of rape (primary victimisation), for example, may be subjected to victim blaming and ostracism as the result of the attack; those who become disabled (primary victimisation) may be subjected to non-accommodation, medicalization, and segregation; and those who develop mental disorder (primary victimisation) may be subject to institutionalisation, that in each case may be far more victimising to these individuals and limiting of their life opportunity than the primary victimising stigmatic condition itself, and are thus called secondary victimisation. The disregards of victims’ needs following a crime against them can sometimes be so traumatic that it is called the “second rape” (in the case of rape) or “second assault”. Victims will feel let down and isolated by the criminal justice body, the medical body and any other institution that is meant to help them, but instead causes the victim in certain cases to start believing that it was in fact their fault or that they had a hand in causing the crime. During the court process, secondary victimisation takes place at various levels. Examples of this are where the victim is not afforded private waiting or report-taking facilities.
