In an interview, Lady Gaga announced, “’Born this Way’ is about being yourself, and loving who you are and being proud” (Setoodeh). Gaga’s zombie zealots are subconsciously comforted when Gaga publically encourages independence; this proclamation implies that she appreciates and approves of her Little Monsters. Although Gaga’s followers are initially fiercely independent thinkers, they ultimately conform and rely on the muse of monsters for sympathy and strength. Thus, in becoming a Little Monster, the individual ultimately transforms into the contradiction of his or her original being and is imprisoned in a diva
Max's story aims to encourage Liesel to be brave and willing to counter words of hatred with words of love; these final lines suggest that others would be willing to follow her if she took such a stand. 10. "I am haunted by humans." (550) The Book Thief is framed by Death's and death's inability to reconcile the remarkable cruelty and the remarkable compassion of which human beings are simultaneously capable. Liesel's life story contains elements of both, and by the end of the novel, Death appears to be no more capable of judging humanity than at the novel's outset.
Their emotion overwhelmed all rational thought and this was because they truly believed in the supernatural and because this hysteria could be used to their advantage. Abigail, for example, lusted after John Proctor and wanted to see his wife hanged so that they could be together. Thomas Putnam was after his
A tone shift occurs from sarcasm to passionate occurs when Ivins states “a gun is literally the power to kill” (50). Her dearest opinion against guns is the inevitability of death that follows those who have the intention of owning a gun. By stating in the end of her passage, “you want protection? Get a dog,” Ivins switches back to a sarcastic tone mocking the argument of ‘safety’ a gun gives (58). The power a gun posses is a crucial argument in Dorothy Allison’s pro- gun ownership passage “Gun Crazy.” Allison
He seems to be lost within the joy of killing when he says “Another baby next. O one-two-three the murderer inside me rose up hard.” Which Hitler himself became enthralled with soon losing sight of his reasons behind the “exterminations.” It is the last sentence in the last stanza that connects all of the dots. “If only they’d all consented to die unseen gassed underground the quiet Nazi way.” This quote is included to help show the much deeper more literal meaning of this poem. It also adds to the view that the farmer has gone from trying to save his farm from pests to trying to almost wipe the entire species of woodchucks from the earth. It also seems to show that he blames the woodchucks for not going down easily adding to the reader’s view of him becoming completely
Analysis Essay “There is a growing trend toward aerial applications of such deathly poisons as parathion to “control” concentrations of birds distasteful to farmers.” As it is mentioned in the passage “Silent Spring” by Rachel Carson farmers are killing animals by poisoning the areas in which they live. Carson’s main point in this passage is to persuade people to stop using poisons because it’s bad for the environment and animals. Carson uses rhetorical questions in her passage to get to her readers emotionally and mentally aware of the situation. She not only presents a strong argument but she informs her readers about the effects of using the parathion. Carson starts by presenting a fact to her audience about people mainly farmers killing animals intentionally instead of unintentionally to keep them from being a pestilence to their fields.
Luckily, you and I are hunters.” This quote shows that Rainsford thinks that violence is perfectly fine when hunting animals and Zaroff would agree with the quote as well. Why do you think Rainsford chooses to confront Zaroff at the end, instead of ambush him? 7a: I think he does this to rub it in to Zaroff because Zaroff was so sure that he would win the game because he wins every game he faces. Also Rainsford wanted to show how terrible it is for humans to be killed and do it himself to show Zaroff that evil always comes back to haunt you. 8.How do time and place affect the actions of the
While assuming JIB to be true, Shelton wages war on the government and by extension those who support it. He views this as a last resort, since he watched all the other non-violent options fail him. Thus this war can be justified. Shelton is justified in his actions because he is redressing a wrong suffered, and his intentions are to rid the corruptness from the judicial system. The people that Shelton killed are considered combatants because they support they governmental system and work with it.
Just Lather, That’s All In hopes character description on Captain Torres in the short story “Just Lather, That’s All”, got straight to the point, used examples that went with her descriptions, and knew what the theme was of the story. Hope got to the point of the story a lot faster than I did in my opinion piece, which made hers a lot more precise then my own. She also wrote a lot of why Captain Torres is a good person underneath and really feels bad for when he has to kill the rebels. Also she gave good examples to why he thinks that killing is harder than it actually looks, when he does his job: which involved him to kill and humiliate the rebel’s bodies. Secondly she gave good examples to why Captain Torres has the traits that hope mentioned in her opinion piece.
In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, the author, Harper Lee has used symbolism with emotive language, frequent use and symbolising people to help the reader understand the timeless idea of how infested with prejudice people and societies can be. The word ‘sin’ is used in “it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird,” rather than a word like ‘wrong’ because of the strong negative connotations associated with it. These make the reader understand how unforgivable it is to ‘kill a mockingbird’ which is a symbol representing innocent people that are harmed undeservedly. Using a powerful word such as ‘sin’ conveys the extent of the evil shown by those who ‘kill mockingbirds’ with prejudice. An example of this are the rumours circulating around the “tired, old town” of Maycomb about the recluse ‘Boo’ Radley.
