Netherland’s Emperor Charles V stated, “If begging for alms is permitted to everyone indiscriminately, many errors and abuse will result for they will fall into idleness, which is the beginning of all evil” (Doc.4). Charles V made the point in which it lead the Netherlands to become a welfare state, it could greatly influence the economy in which individuals would take advantage of the system and not do their job. Although the poor was looked down upon by many there were positive efforts done to help them thanks to nobles and others including religious priests, one who stated that the poor needs to be looked after and taken care of and those who help them will have direct entrance into heaven for their good deeds (Doc. 1). During a time in which
He had his good qualities and his bad, and you could learn a lot from him. For example, you can see Piggy’s wisdom and intelligence on page 151, Ralph and Piggy go to the feast the boys are having and soon after, Piggy states, “Come away. There’s going to be trouble and we’ve had our meat.” Piggy knew there was going to be trouble a the feast and if Ralph had listened to him they wouldn’t have been caught up in the riot and kill Simon. Piggy is also flawed because of this. Piggy helped take an innocent life and no one perfect would do
Renowned for his ability to utilize literary devices, Charles Dickens developed the theme through similes. A simile is defined as a comparison of two different things using “like” or “as”. In and of themselves, similes embody some dualistic qualities. After discontinuing the life of an innocent youth, “Monseugneur the Marquis ran his eyes over [all the peasants], as if they had been mere rats come out of their holes” (Dickens 84). Because of his position of superiority, he viewed the peasants as inferior beings.

He deals with generational poverty, just like Sylvia and the other children. In addition, people who deal with generational poverty, deal with “the most damaging outcome of generational poverty” and “the constant presence of Hopelessness” (“Facts about Poverty”). Flyboy wants to be left alone because he knows he is of no value. He uses his situation to his advantage “…to keep white folks off his back and fill sorry for him” (348). Through Flyboy, Bambara shows what happens when society ignores people leaving in poverty.
Robert Mullner The soft focus of the photograph and the solidity colour of the rocks with the calm colours of the sunset intrigues me. I admire the fact usage of the mood that is being presented which is a calm mood. The significance this photograph has on me is how it is such a natural photo being made into a beautiful landscape photo Ozlay The digital composition of this photograph make the time being experienced seem vintage. The red tones in it create a feeling of summer and its festives. The disrupted focus is intriguing as it creates more creativity to the close-up shot of the Esky.
Pip agrees to help Magwitch in his elope by bringing him food and a file from the forge. Stealing the file and the food produces agonies of guilt in Pip. Dickens describes this guilt by making the environment in which Pip has to run through dark, misty, shady and mysterious. In his words, “the mist was heavier yet when I got upon the marshes, so that instead of my running at everything, everything seemed to run at me. This was very disagreeable to a guilty mind”.
The characters in ‘Oliver Twist’ are successful as they are often labelled with some idiosyncrasy which represents Dickens’ distaste for society. He also loved to use melodrama, which is reflected in his characters, to create empathy and sympathy for a character. While Bumble has a complete lack of sympathy towards Oliver, Mr Sowerberry tries to win Oliver over by attempting to be nice to him, and therefore be seen as an author figure to Oliver. The characters in this chapter are presented as villains to show how Dickens felt about the authority figures in the 1830’s. As in many other of his books, Dickens uses his character’s personalities to represent the attitudes of society.
Throughout the poem the author does a good job of expressing to the reader the significance of seemingly insignificant things. All of these so-called insignificant actions or objects all trigger the very significant emotion of hate towards the Haitians people by the general. An example of this is in stanza eight where the author gives significance to regular objects like the lack of curtains and the parrot in the brass ring, the author does this in order to give a subtle incite to the reader about what caused the general to kill. Throughout the poem the author does a good job of using this subliminal imagery in order to give the reader an idea of what’s going on in the poem without giving the story away but still keeping the readers
When Oliver is first taken to see a deceased woman of the underclass, her mourning family is described as being ‘so like the rats he had seen outside.’ Dickens’s use of this simile had a dehumanising effect, and shows that the upper classes believed the poor deserved good will as much as rodents did. The upper classes are often described as being superior in an ironic tone, showing that Dickens did not agree with, and is even mocking the system in place,
