Looking at repression, the problems they dealt with and how they solved them: the terrorist attacks and harsh punishments, reform groups and the black hundreds and finally the revolutionary ideas and closing of newspapers and trade unions. Then I will consider the reforms: poor, unhappy peasants and the abolishment of redemption payments and freeing of communes, underproductive agriculture and ‘The Peasant Land Bank’ and lastly the effect of the Duma. Overall I think that both the repressions and reforms had equal impact in stabilising Russia, but are also dependant on each other. Firstly, Repression, Russia had a terrorist problem during and following the 1905 revolution. In 1907, 1,200 government officials were murdered in political terrorist attacks by revolutionaries.
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.

Through Shakespeare’s play ‘A Mid-Summer Nights Dream’ and the film ‘Chocolat’ the composers have presented similar reflections on the values and attitudes of their times.

As writing a sonnet, composing a rondeau is demanding exercise for a poet. Analysis: * In Flanders Fields: features the alliteration that helps structure this poem throughout. * “…the poppies grow”: poppies were a symbol for death in war before World War One, but it was McCrae’s poem that helped to popularize the poppy as a sign of remembrance for the Great War. Poppies have been associated with the battlefield since at least the Napoleonic wars, when poppies would thrive and grow on the fields freshly manured by blood. Poppies were also associated with sleep (opium being a poppy derivate) and McCrae, being a doctor, would have been conscious of this: the idea of sleeping under the poppies is revived in the last lines.
