He is talking about Curley’s wife with the clear intention of discrediting her to George. This displays him to be a heedful rumourmonger amongst the other itinerant workers: “Well, I think Curley’s married a tart.” In addition, another language device that Steinbeck uses in this passage to present Candy is adjectives. There are a wide variety of adjectives used such as, “reassured” and, “safe” which also describe Candy’s inner thoughts and feelings. The fact that Candy feels secure when taking to George implies that he is reluctant to talk to any of the other ranch hands because they usually disrespect him and exclude him for who he is: a disabled individual. However, “reassured” may suggest a sense of caution and perceptiveness about Candy, and suggests that initially he did not trust George and Lenny.
Satire is used to criticise humanity’s creations, creating a mutual understanding between composer and audience. Through the use of literary devices, the flaws and hypocritical stances are identified within each text. This notion is explored in George Orwell’s allegory ‘Animal Farm,’ which is an allegorical representation of the Russian Revolution, illustrating flaws in our society with a mixture of black humour and critical attitude. The flaws of the human condition corrupt the dreams of Old Major. Napoleon and Snowball originally strive to fulfil Old Major’s dreams but due to the self centeredness of Napoleon, among others, the tenets of Animalism are systematically undermined throughout the novel.
Dubose and eventually win the reader over with their unseen goodness despite the heinous reputations they carry in society. This novel shows the reader that when a person or group of people judges someone else solely based on his/her unflattering attributes and actions, it is a very dubious approach and often misleading. Atticus illuminated one of the threads that binds the theme of the novel and society as a whole when he says to Scout, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view. . .
Dawe uses television jargon to further elaborate how consumerism has dehumanised humanly values. “Right between the Carol Burnett and the David Nixon show they fell in love.” Through the use of television and consumer jargon along with the satirical nature of the poem, we understand how consumers have been impacted through the media. Through the poem Dawe allows us to see how the predominance of the media has impacted the values in relationships. “But the course of true etcetera, Etcetera.” Through Dawe’s use of the word “Etcetera” he shows us how love is no longer relevant in between relationships. Therefore, the media dehumanises the quality of humanly values and relationships.
They kept a dream alive for each other. This made them different from the other field hands in a positive
Question- What methods does Steinbeck use in this passage to present Candy? In this passage the first and most prominent impression that Steinbeck gives of Candy is that he is an apprehensive and wary character who relies on the reassurance of others around him when he talks. Steinbeck presents him as being hesitant and reluctant, by using a range of punctuation to draw out his speech and and to delay how quickly he discloses dangerous information and gossip: " Yeah Purdy…but-" and " well - she got the eye"are extracts of Candy's speech which uses ellipses, dashes and full stops to demonstrate Candy's reluctance to disclose information which contribute to the way he is presented; a nervous and wary man. This is also demonstrated by the way in which he is constantly seeking an opinion and reassurance from George, who is portrayed as a strong and influential in the novel." The old man was reassured.
Like you told him before, “If I was alone I could live so easy”. At least now you don't have to worry about where Lennie is and what he's doing.
Through these ideas we can see that the relationship between Harry and his father is protective and encouraging. Throughout
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.
