This is also ironic, as humans themselves are a part of the earth and nature, yet are destroying it for their own ends. The imagery of the dump is used to symbolize the dystopic wasteland that society is approaching, a consumer society consuming itself. The confronting revelations of the persona’s experience compels the reader, as a vision of hell is established, as “attendants in overalls and goggles” and “laborers” allude to “devils” and “demons”. These “figures” of our future are portrayed in a pathetic fashion, as they “poke” around, and “wander in despondence”, looking for “scraps of appetite”, in order to fuel their humanity. The people who fork through the trash symbolize that we may, one day pick at the remnants of our long lost culture, 'with an eternity in which to turn up some peculiar sensation'.

(Part A) They forgot about there homes; they become addicted to the Lotus and the men that ate the Lotus wanted to do nothing except stay there and eat the flower they wanted to do so for the rest their lives.
I found the story very difficult to support, mainly because of the way he stereotyped animal rights. He uses pathos to explain his view point of the issue and a lot of logical fallacies along the way. Such slippery slope when he says “we must leave animals free - to overrun and destroy our property, to eat our food, even to kill our children” and he uses pathos when he stated that he is a pure man-hatred that has no limited to a few leader in notion of animal “rights”. Throughout this story, the writer gives wrong evidence. He tries to prove how animal testing affects animals, but the evidence that he gives us was some kind of violence and lacking police protection.
Pathos is the tenet of rhetoric that appeals to the emotion of an argument. It shows a viewpoint and tries to hit a soft spot or provoke a course of action. When Schlosser talks about the dangers and greed of meat packing plants, he tells us of a truly saddening story about a man named Kenny. This story of Kenny Dobbins really made me sad and mad about how greedy people are. He gave his body and his life to a meat packing company and they screwed him over when
It shows that he is willing to go through lots of stuggle in order to achieve his goal. Once he found out the bad news of Rosa’s untimely death “he had a vision of anger spreading through him like a malignant tumor, sullying the best hours of his life” (Allende pg 36). Trueba decided to leave to the countryside after Rosa’s death. Heading south indicates that Trueba is “digging deep into his own subconscious,” (Foster pg 170) trying to escape the city and all the bad memories he has there. “Literary geography is typically about humans inhabiting spaces, and at the same time the spaces that inhabit humans” (Foster pg 166).
The colour yellow, which symbolises decay and disease, is used to show the woman’s state of mind, which has been corrupted by the society she is part of. Also, the gruesome imagery of burning flesh in “smell of steaks in passageways”, coupled with the pluralisation of the objects portrays this as an experience of universal suffering. Eliot also explores the disempowerment of the individual through the judgments of a modernist society. Prufrock’s rhetorical question “Do I dare?” is about the movement he desires that has been oppressed by his self-conscious. The interjection “but how his arms and legs are thin”, shows his physical vulnerability and highlights his lack of agency.
Also, it’s being very selfish by asking Victor for more favours, after Victor had already given life to it. Finally, throughout the story, it constantly seeks revenge on its creator, Victor, even though it knows that that means to neglect integrity. It is dangerous and unethical to sympathize with the creature as it is dangerous, forceful and almost always infuriated with revenge. Throughout the novel, the creature
This repetition of destruction shows that the creature is no longer of sound mind. The creature being alone for so long and unwanted for so long has made him become hateful to everything. The tone then makes another shift to self pity, as the creature becomes disgusted by himself. He goes back to believing he is human for just a few lines, asking the rhetorical question: “should [he] feel kindness toward [his] enemies?” Then the final shift to vengeance takes place. The creature decides “No” he will not “feel kindness toward [his] enemies,” but instead, declares everlasting war against the species,” the species being mankind and specifically his creator.
John Steinbeck saw the type of reception that newcomers received when he visited the labor camps in rural California. Steinbeck dramatized this in The Grapes of Wrath, “They were hungry, and they were fierce. And they had hoped to find a home, and they only found hatred. Okies-the owners hated them because the owners knew they were soft and the Okies were strong, that they were fed and the Okies were hungry; and perhaps the owners had heard from their grandfathers how easy it is to steal land from a soft man if you are fierce and hungry and armed.“ (4) John Steinbeck saw the inhumane way that at people were treated by the people of California. Once the migrants got through the entry barriers, the migrants found that their new life was almost as difficult as the one they had left behind.
This creates conflict between the monster and Victor as the monster soon begins to hate him for abandoning him. Furthermore, in chapter 16 we see conflict between the creator and the created again: “you belong to my enemy—to him I have sworn eternal revenge; you shall be my first victim”. The monster’s anger towards his creator is channelled into revenge as he kills his brother. Shelley uses the language device direct address to depict this. The pronoun “you” is repeated, this makes the reader
