This creates the feeling that the boy and his father are isolated from the outside world and makes it seem as if they cannot get help. I can understand how scared and afraid they must feel because usually bad things happen in isolated places. A good metaphor that Ho Thien uses is “The father was taken away behind the forest’s green wall”. This makes me feel sympathetic towards the boy and his father because they are separated by a wall of trees so thick and dense that they cannot speak to each other. To create an image of the boy, Ho Thien uses words like “frail” which makes me think that the boy is weak and vulnerable.
While Runner involves grief throughout the story, it is not the only theme that is focused on. Grief is meaning an intense sorrow caused by loss of a loved one. Focuses is meaning the concentration of attention or energy on someone or something. Though grief causes Charlie to mourn and become a very unhappy boy, this is overcome by friendship and running. With Charlie having such a noble friend like Norman, he is able to open up to him and relieve most of his grief.
It is funny when the boy begins to sing and sings even louder because he believes his father missed the point of his singing, and the fact that the boy is doing everything the drunken father would have done is humorous too. 2. Pathos is the emotional appeal to the reader, and while this story is humorous, it does contain
Their deaths and Lennie’s eventual death result in the unfulfillment of the dream, leaving everyone lonely and without purpose. Dogs, both old and young, are a comfort to those with otherwise very lonely lives. Candy, the ranch worker, had grown attached to his old sheepdog, which he had had raised from when it was a puppy. His fellow ranch workers despised the dog, as it was useless and smelled bad, and eventually convinced Candy to have it shot. The dog, while of no working value, was a faithful companion to Candy.
The main character in this commercial appeared to be cute, full of curiosity, and innocent. The little boy was sad because he could not find out how many licks it took to get to get to the center of the product. He went to different animals to find the answer but was not able to find it. The frustration on his face showed the audience that he wanted to give up. Toward the end of the commercial, he seemed puzzled and sad.
The use of these landscapes shows that the history of these camps and headquarters are horrific and cause sadness but through an oblivious childs mind his memory will see it as a time where he made a new friend and was happy.

In The Clown Punk the narrator says 'towing a dog on a rope' which represents him as an outsider. This could also suggest that he is homeless,poor and a very lonely man. Because of his appearance he is looked down on. 'The sad tattoos of high punk' mark his failure therefore he is an outcast to the people that view him as they have no respect for him. In addition in T.H.I.T.P the narrator says that the hunchback drinks 'water from the chained cup' this represents the hunchback as being a prisoner in his own body because 'nobody chained him up'
“The silence came into the room. And the silence lasted”. Steinbeck does this to make the reader think about how Candy is feeling and how the other characters are sorry for him.

The atmosphere and scenery reignite deep memories for Scrooge and a tear falls on his cheek, although he tries to disguise this from the spirit. It is clear that Scrooge still remembers his childhood experiences and is excited. This is shown when stated in the text, ‘cried Scrooge with fervour’ meaning he was eager to carry on and relive his memories. This is the first time we see him express positive emotions and so suggests the beginning of his character change. However, when Scrooge sees himself alone in the school room he shows even more emotion.
The protagonist, a disabled soldier that had been released from military service, is depicted as incomplete due to a lost-limb. He shivered not only in his ghastly suit of grey, but for the unacceptable, drastic change in his life from a whole to a fragmented body. Alliteration of the consonant ‘g’ is used to strengthen the menacing and somber tone, and evokes readers’ pity towards the distressing situation of the soldier. As the government abandons the lives of soldiers and leaves them to fend off the ammunition and threat on no man's land themselves, the devastating alteration for the soldiers' future is destined--- destined to crumble, destined to shatter, destined to descend the infinite abyss of tragedy and woe. From ‘waiting for dark’, we can infer that it wasn’t the dark of the night the solider was expecting, but ‘dark’ as grim, dour death.
