The Hay Bucker then pulls in, in the early morning and unloads the hay with the man he is delivering it to. The wording seems to help establish a mood that the man pulling in would be tired from driving half the night and so he would probably be pretty grumpy or probably a little short on patience. The wording seems to be as rough as the Hay bucker’s attitude might be after his long journey. The poem talks about his big truckload of hay behind the barn. His big truckload makes it seem that the man driving might be just as big as his truckload of hay.
Due to the high unemployment rates following the great depression, the working class were vulnerable to the unjust exploitation of power. Curley is portrayed as a character who lacks integrity and an oppressor of the economically autonomous dream of George and Lennie. Through a juxtaposition between power and helplessness, Curley is depicted as inhumane. The simile ‘like a terrier’ contrasts Curley’s docile and aggressive nature with Lennie who, with the animalistic imagery ‘huge paws’ and ‘bleated’ is likened to a passive and weak creature. Through an accumulation of violent images, ‘slashed’, ‘smashed’, ‘terror’ and ‘slugging’, the lack of justice and ethicality through power exploitation is exemplified.
This caused the monster to feel hatred: “if I cannot inspire love I will cause fear, and chiefly towards you my archenemy, because my creator, do I swear inextinguishable hatred.” There is a use of contrast in this quote: love vs. fear, bringing out the message that the monster has experienced discrimination and all the love in him was taken away, and to be replaced by hatred. This again is because of the creator’s lack of ability; he
Poems in “Immigrants Chronicle” show that the poet struggles to adapt to changes, in some ways his father also struggles to adapt to changes. Like in “Felix Skrzynecki” when the poet mentions “tried to keep in pace with the Joneses”. It highlights the depth of struggle it had taken for Felix to come to a stage where he no longer feels the need to follow anyone in order to belong. Because he has now found a place to belong his garden. The garden becomes metaphorical as the poem doesn’t just reveal that the father belongs to just the garden but also reveals that the father has found peace in himself, has found peace as he now feels he has found a place in the world around him even though he wasn’t originally from
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'.
The use of negative tone in this sermon is evident in the quote, “The God that holds you above the pit of Hell, much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked.” The tone in this quote is very negative saying how God abhors you. This again is using pathos to strike a sense of fear into the congregations lives. The use of Jon Edwards negative tone causes the congregation to re-think how they were living. One final thing that Jonathan Edwards uses is his explicit details throughout this sermon. He says, “There are black clouds of God’s wrath hanging directly over your heads, full of the dreadful storm, and big with thunder: and were it not
He, in fact, faced a constant inward struggle with his immense guilt of having sinned with Hester. Hawthorne uses Dimmesdale to represent the conflict love versus hate in that Dimmesdale does both. He has a great deal of love for Hester and Pearl, and even the people he preaches to. However, due to his overactive conscience and his desperate struggle for salvation in the afterlife "above all things else, he loathed his miserable self," for committing what the Puritan community believed to be a terrible sin (Hawthorne 141). Throughout the novel, Dimmesdale self- inflicts suffering in the form of extreme fasting and whipping on his shoulders and back.
A sick fear and rage swept him. Fiercely he hit out at the filthy thing in front of him that bobbed like a toy and came back, still grinning into his face, so that he lashed and cried out in loathing” (Golding 185). His emotion really got to him because he couldn’t understand how Jack and his tribe could be that sick and careless. In this example Ralph is enraged with Jack and his tribe because they don’t understand the importance of the signal fire. “A gust of rage shook Ralph.
Theme: “Thistles” by Ted Hughes is a poem about survival and triumph. It describes the life cycle of the thistles and how difficult it is to get rid of these wild plants. This poem also portrays how the thistles have to fight to stay alive and to ensure the continuity of their kind as well as the fact that they conquered over their aggressors. In the first line of the poem, the diction “against” hints us about the plight that thistles have to go through. “Rubber tongues of cows” suggest the destruction of the thistles by men in which the imagery “rubber” suggests ability to stretch and wrap around the thistles and hence destroying it.
Upon seeing the creature in years, Victor is completely filled with hatred and angst. Contrast to a normal reaction to a lost “son,” Victor shows tremendous hate and fear towards the creature, “‘Devil...Begone, vile insect!”(81) These few words express the bottled up emotions Frankenstein has had deep within, and finally is able to express upon seeing the creature. However, this emotion from Frankenstein only adds more depth to the creatures response. The creature knows Frankensteins hate towards him, but during the confrontation the creature is able to vent and show his human tendencies. “[Y]ou, my creator, detest and spurn me, thy creature, to whom thou art bound by ties only dissoluble by the annihilation of one of us.”(81) Although Frankenstein hates the creature, there is no denying the bond they share.
