An old woman (who is described at various points in the story as impudent, bad, foul-mouthed, ugly, dirty and a vagrant deserving of a stint in the House of Correction) discovers the bears' dwelling. She looks through a window, peeps through the keyhole, and lifts the latch. Assured that no one is home, she walks in. The old woman eats the Wee Bear's porridge, then settles into his chair and breaks it. Prowling about, she finds the bears' beds and falls asleep in Wee Bear's bed.
Humpty Dumpty Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king's horses, And all the king's men, Couldn't put Humpty together again. Mary Had a Little Lamb Mary had a little lamb, Little lamb, little lamb, Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow. Everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went, Everywhere that Mary went, The lamb was sure to go.
The Remount Officer, p. 54 - 55: (line 1) “You’re insulting the mount,” replied Dyakov with profound conviction. As good as blaspheming, that’s what you’re doing, my lad.” And he swung his well-proportioned athlete’s body skilfully out of the saddle. Straightening his perfect legs, caught at the knee with a small strap, he went with circus agility over to the moribund animal. (line 5) It fixed wide, deep eyes on Dyakov and licked from his ruddy palm a sort of imperceptible injunction. Immediately the exhausted beast felt a dexterous strength flowing from the bald and vigorous Romeo in the prime of life.
Desert Places | | Snow falling and night falling fast, oh, fast In a field I looked into going past, And the ground almost covered smooth in snow, But a few weeds and stubble showing last. The woods around it have it - it is theirs. All animals are smothered in their lairs. I am too absent-spirited to count; The loneliness includes me unawares. And lonely as it is, that loneliness Will be more lonely ere it will be less - A blanker whiteness of benighted snow WIth no expression, nothing to express.
In "The Bull Moose", the civilians in the poem showed no compassion towards nature. The narrator states "Down from the purple mist of trees on the mountain, lurching through forests a white spruce and cedar, stumbling through tamarack swamps, came the bull moose to be stopped at last by a pole-fenced pasture". This shows that the moose was under some type of distress and landed at the edge of civilization. Civilians quickly gathered once they heard of it. The civilians realized the moose had no strength and could not defend himself so they decided to take advantage of the moose.
“Snowball and Napoleon butted the door open with their shoulders and the animals entered in single file…Snowball and Napoleon called them together.” The words “entered” and “single file” shows and tells the reader that Snowball and Napoleon were in charge. The word “butted” tells the reader that it was abrupt and sudden. It also tells you that there was no signal and the fact that they “butted” in tells the reader that they are at a higher status than all the other animals. Because Orwell has described Napoleon as “fierce” it tells the reader that he is ruthless in competition. Orwell successfully makes the reader think and let them know how Napoleon “plays his cards” and how all the animals have so much respect for Napoleon even though he doesn’t speak as much as Snowball.
You would think that I would be used to it by now. Hazily I think to my self ‘what did I do last night? How did I end up like this again? The same 14 words that enter my mind every morning however I never seem to be able answer the question. I am pulled from my state of drowsiness by pulverising jolts of the park runner feet crushing on the ground as they run past sending a cold chill rushing down my spine.
The windmill is first brought to everyone's attention by Snowball who researches on how to build one and draws out the plans. While this occurs, Napoleon slowly takes full control over the farm by eliminating Snowball. He does this by convincing all the animals that the windmill is a poor idea and eventually, Napoleon's dogs scare Snowball away. After Snowball vanishes, Napoleon confesses that the windmill is his idea and Snowball is a corrupt animal that should be disposed. "Napoleon had never been opposed to the windmill on the contrary, it was he who had
My skin felt tight and prickly, and I could see my breath make puffs of fog in the chilly air. As we waited, we talked about how good the half-pipe looked. A half-pipe is snow packed into a U-shape, about 10 feet high and 360 feet long. It is like a large pipe that has been cut in half. Riders drop in from the top at one side, glide down, then fly up the other side and perform ingenious tricks in the air above the pipe.
All examples are taken from “A Christmas Carol” Charles Dickens: 1) The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shriveled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. (Ordinary repetition of the pronomen ‘his’) 2) No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him. ( chiasmus: ‘No warmth could warm’; ellipsis:’ no wintry weather chill him’, the omission of the word could) 3) No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty. (anaphora: repetition of ‘no’ at the beginning of each part of the sentence; epithets: bitter wind, intent snow, pelting rain) 4) The heaviest rain, and snow, and hail, and sleet, could boast of the advantage over him in only one respect. (polysyndeton) 5) Though he felt the chilling influence of its death-cold eyes (epithet: death-cold eyes) 6) "Don't be angry, uncle.
