Simic is not afraid of exploring violence in his poems and this can be justified by his early days. His imagination has the scenes of what he witnessed during the Nazi regime and he seems to be scared of it. However Simic himself justifies his use of violence in the poems, he once said in the interviews, ““Violence is a kind of pathetic, perverted attempt to feel. The poems try to understand its origins, to see its consequences, to exorcise its demons”. (The Michigan Press, 1985) He adds to this, “My subject is really poetry in times of madness.
I think he intends for his audience to be amused in a weird way. For example, he compares executing criminals to entertainment and clearly for his statements not be taken literal. He really wants to show his point of view and what he believes should take place. Which is executing criminal should be privatized. Everyone even children should get to see this in person to entertain and even more to inform.
I don’t approve of the killings but it does make sense. Watching a lot of crime solving shows, I know that murderers have pretty bad back-stories such as people or parents abandoning them, which is like the monster. I honestly think he should be blamed for them but instead of being put in jail, he should be given help that he needs. I feel as if the monster didn’t know what he was capable of and he was just trying to get Victor’s attention. I do believe Victor got what was coming to him.
William Golding forebodes fear in the early chapters of the book through his descriptive language choices and his own experiences. He wanted to convey that humans could go from being civilised and socially acceptable to destructive savages. Using words such as littluns emphasises to the reader that children should not always be looked over as innocent and similar, but that everyone, including children, have an “evil” side. In Lord of the Flies, Golding uses the theme of human nature to show how easily society can collapse, and how self-destructive human nature is. At the beginning, the boys have a sense of humour and excitement to be on the island.
Why Do We Crave Horror Films? We all have a dark side and demons we have to feed. People crave horror to fulfill the thrill they want when their lives are dull. On the other hand, is it because people have to escape from the bad emotions we suppress. In Stephen Kings essay “Why We Crave Horror Films” He claims we are all mentally ill. And he is correct.
Ishmael believed that James Scobie has it easy because he has his fear cut out of his brain but James let Ishmael in on the secret that he believes “one can only handle so much fear”. Ishmael then faces his fear by going to that debate and speaking in front of the audience. A quote from the book to back this statement “But I’m only the researcher, that’s what you said… and we’ll…have you to thank for it” (150-151). Ishmael also has problems with one school bully, Barry. James Scobie helps him to stand up to him.
Augustine’s Confessions and Sin St. Augustine wrote many interesting things in his confessions. I personally thought that his writings of sin, and then the nature of good and evil are very interesting. Augustine struggled with sin his entire life and had to come to terms with it in his confessions. Also, while he talks of his sin and the nature of his sin he also talks of how things are inherently good, and that evil is just the reduction of good. St. Augustine shows that neither people, nor things are inherently evil, just that they can have effects that can be used for the wrong purposes.
Among all of these examples Wiesel notes a common similarity, indifference. In his speech Wiesel explains why indifference is evil for it, among other reasons, “is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor -- never his victim, whose pain is magnified when he or she feels forgotten.” Because indifference is, as Wiesel explains, seductive and easily tempting, he has made his life’s purpose to educate people to take positive action. To not take action and stand idle hurts one’s neighbor more than to try to help them in the
The narrator wanted to know if he was mad, or not. Phrases such as "I heard all things in the heaven and in earth" (62), tells the reader that the narrator indeed is mad, yet the narrator thinks himself not. In the following statement, "If still you think me mad, you will think so no longer when I describe the wise precautions I took for the concealment of the body" (64). This sequentially helps the reader form their opinion that this man is mad .Poe brilliantly manipulates first person point of view to his advantage in this story. It brings out many emotions in the readers mind.
All three are happy in the rela tionship they have with one-another. However, one day, he was told, "Now look here, we don't want any more trouble from you, but if ever we see you near those girls again, you'll find yourself up before a magistrate" (57). Ernest is deprived his life, w hat makes him happy. He is deprived the only friendship he has because the unwritten social code suggests that a man such as himself befriending young girls as such means that he is a paedophile. The detectives interfere with his life.
