This also makes us feel sorry for him. I think clown punk is a young man possibly 23-24 as when Armitage says “imagine him in thirty years time, with his deflated face and shrunken scalp” this gives us an idea of his age and his facial appearance of being quite young. I think Armitage would want him to be young because it shows he may have thought that being a punk is great but then as he grows older it is a bad choice. Also this could say he could have sense of immaturity, and because we have this sense of immaturity that is backed up by the fact he has lots of tattoos. I say this because when you’re young you think tattoos are cool and you don’t think about the
In both poems the poets Armitage and Thomas have created their central character predominantly through their use of language. In ‘the clown punk’ Armitage effectively uses a simile to compare the central character to a walking basket of washing, ‘like a basket of washing that got up’. In doing this Armitage is creating the image of a man who takes no pride in his appearance, so much so his clothes are dirty and creased as a basket of washing would be. It is ironic that the central character takes such little time in his appearance now, as he clearly did in his youth, he used his appearance, to
Although his actions are very insane, they can be seen as rational to reader considering hedonism. Devotion to pleasure, hedonism, makes Dorian be deceitful about his true self by deflecting the attention of the public from the mad man to the beautiful and intelligent gentlemen. Dorian is, young, sensitive, and emotional, meaning that he is susceptible to manipulation. Lord Henry takes advantage of that opportunity and gives Dorian the yellow book; this book opens up the world of hedonism and aestheticism which eventually turns his young life into an eternal oblivion of misery. Dorian develops a fear of aging so he tries to live his life as if it was his last day on earth.
Both poems keep a certain anonymity with their central characters by not addressing them by their names, but using their physicalities 'clown punk' this shows that they are unknown in society but still judged ,giving a sense of being looked down on, which creates a heirarchy in the poems. In both poems a chaotic ,untidy scene is the habitat for the characters.The clown punk is described as living in 'the shonky side of town' .This is fitting with his rather eccentric manner and appearence. The peculiar imagery of the clown is enhanced by the comparison of the clown to 'a basket of washing' ,giving an impression that his attire is slightly bizzare.The park which the hunchback occupies is described as 'unmade' ,which is used as a reflection on where societty feels he

Because all your bastards want is more! Leave Britney alone!” With this quotations you can either feel sorry for the poor lad who makes a big scene about Britney and her privacy and on top of all he uploads it on Youtube.com. Or you can laugh and think for yourself that this fellow needs to get his own life and not be so dramatic when it comes to a celebrity or you can think something third. The writher has statements which are very ironic but his message is quite clear; he wants to provoke us, the readers of the text. He wants us to take our own point of view about the phenomenon, New Narcissism.
Humans, in our depravity, “miss the mark” sort of speak. We easily focus on the physical and the “now” instead of the holy, quiet, and eternalness of God. Thus, Satan uses the pleasures of the world as opportunities to entice us away from unity with God. Augustine also looks at himself as a young man and is confused
Popular Culture in contemporary society encourages children and adolescents to behave badly, due to the negative representations of acceptable behaviour as well as the immoral messages presented. Bart Simpson can only be described as a parent’s worst nightmare! Amongst his many qualities such as being rude, a class clown and having no respect for authority, he is now considered to be, alongside great names such as Albert Einstein and Ghandi, as one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people. I’m sorry to say that this is no mistake; the flamboyant Bart Simpson is setting the tone of how your children are to behave, not in a world of yellow people with four fingers, but right here, in the real world. The Simpsons is a Pop Culture phenomenon that has been influencing our lives for 20 years.
