-In nadsat style, addressing the reader with ‘’O my brothers’’ creates a more personal bond with Alex, and their for it is easier for the reader to sympathize with Alex even though he is such a flawed character. -When the violence is shown in the book, more nadsat is used with for example: ‘’to tolchock a chelloveck in the kishkas’’ this being an alienating and distancing the reader and Alex from the violent acts he commits. If the nadsat is purely read for its language it sounds humorous, but often takes a sickening and repulsive turn, that is when you realize what is actually happening. For example: ‘’So he did the strong-man on the devotcha, who was still creech creech crecching away in very horrorshow four-in-a-bar, locking her rookers from the back, while I ripped away at this and that and the other, the others were going haw haw haw still, and real horrorshow groodies they were that then exhibited their pink glazzies, O my brothers, while I untrussed and got ready for the plunge.’’ This sounds quite comical and humorus until its found out that the devotcha (woman) is being raped. In short: -What is the Nadsat language, where is it
Voltaire wrote this book to further demonstrate his unhappiness with the church, government, and philosophies at that time. He was hoping to inform readers about the ridiculousness of the authority by means of entertainment through satire. This book was not only packed with information, but it was also a fun read relating back to Voltaire's witty and intelligent personality. Since the book was written this way, the greater public was able to understand it, not just intellectuals and nobility, and his ideas and thoughts were more easily spread because of Candide's enjoyability as a novel. I believe the main message Voltaire was trying to get
You go down to the states on the fourth of July, you could drive all across the country from the north to the south and the west to the east, there’d be fireworks and parties of all sorts, to celebrate their country. Now drive through Canada on the first of July, there will be gatherings, and a few fireworks, to celebrate our country, just because we don’t throw huge, elaborate parties doesn’t mean we don’t have pride in our country. We are very humble when it comes to talking about ourselves and our country. We celebrate a little everyday by taking pride in what may seem like the little things. Some will say hockey is the Canadian identity, some may agree or disagree, but those people could be right, sports is something so easy to take pride in, there’s nothing better than gathering with a few close friends and watching the world juniors knowing that half the country is glued to the TV cheering for the exact same thing you are.
Fitzgerald aims to build a sense of trust and so portrays characters as well educated and enlightened, as such that Nick is ‘inclined to reserve all judgments’ and being ‘privy to the secret grief of wild, unknown men’. This forces the reader to trust Nick’s retrospective recollections; and the fact that the reader is aware of how his perceptions may have been altered by future knowledge or the erosion of memory through time indicates this memoir may be an edited version that is not completely reflective on the true events. Fitzgerald clearly sets the setting of the whole novel: the West Egg and East Egg, it is arguably said that it could be referred to the history of the Christopher Columbus story. This enhances the imagery of an egg as the start of a new life; Nick felt that ‘life was beginning over again’. Moreover, Fitzgerald allows Nick to point out the superficial similarities between the two communities, revealing differences gradually; extravagant wealthy people populate both Eggs and to the outsiders they are a source of ‘perpetual wonder’.
He attempts to make the audience relate to him by using this analogy so that they will feel sympathetic for him, and hopefully accept his apology. In “I Have Sinned”, Clinton uses the phrase, “I may have to take my glasses out to read my own writing,” to set a low key, comical tone. This differs from “Misled” because he is more willing to joke because of the audience, which was made up of an intimate group, where in “Misled” he uses more formal diction because of the
He had been taught to reserve judgements about other people as if he was to compare them to himself he may misunderstand them. The readers learn more about the narrator in the form of a character as nick caraway reveals his past, education, social knowledge etc. The reader also realises further in the opening chapters that the narrator/character Nick Carraway goes against his words and upbringing in the brief mention of jay Gatsby and he judges him “there was something gorgeous about him”. This therefore gives the readers the impression that nick is a hypocritical character and could possibly be a biased narrator. F Scott FitzGerald presents Nick Carraway as a character and narrator by showing in Nick’s own way that he has come “back from the East last autumn” fed up off his experiences there.
In the volume’s 20 short stories (in less than 250 pages), King explores the paradigms of Native storytelling, from the “entertainment” of the title story, which features an out-of-town businessman witnessing the migratory night flight of Indians over Bay Street, with workers onhand to clean up the bodies of those who fly into the buildings, to the more involved, including “The Baby in the Airmail Box,” which chronicles the mysterious arrival of a white baby at the Rocky Creek First Nations office, and the ensuing decision to make the child a prize at the weekly bingo game. “Coyote and the Enemy Aliens” is firmly rooted in both oral storytelling and the traditional tales of the trickster figure Coyote, here involved in the disenfranchisement of Japanese-Canadians during the Second World War.
The author uses many points of irony and symbolism within the story to create a more in depth and interesting plot for the readers. These events are also relatble to society. A point of irony occurs in the story after Daru makes his decision about what he wants to do with the Arab prisoner. Daru is very kind to the Arab during his stay and he acts as if he doesnt want to bring him in despite the fact he completly disagrees with the crime he commited. When Daru and the Arab are about half way to the police, Daru does the kind thing and lets him go.
During what is referred to as rush hour, at times I wanted to just scream at the ignorance of people; that lane will not go any faster than the one you were in. Although there is public transportation, it doesn’t seem to help the congestion on the freeways. When I lived in the country, rush hour was considered several tractors in a caravan making their way to the next field. And yet, it was not uncommon to wait for a family of ducks to cross the road. The smog in the city is not the most ideal for most people.
We are taught to understand themes like sight and blindness, and foolishness through the fool’s character. The Fool also helps to involve the audience more, as his speeches reflect a narration, which naturally give the audience more information about the nature of the plot. Before I researched this theme, I predicted that yes the fool does help King Lear to see clearly. The Fool is Lear's own stand-up comedian, but more interestingly, he's the only person that Lear allows to criticize him. The Fool is actually really smart and the only person who tells it like it is, showing that he puts Lear into line when needed.
