The Effect of Literary Devices in Fiction In Jenny Han’s romantic novel, “The Summer I Turned Pretty”, the main character, Isabel, experienced an external conflict between her and her best friend, Taylor. In the novel, Isabel flashbacked to the time she was fourteen. That summer, Isabel brought Taylor to her cottage in Cousins Beach to spend time with each other. Taylor ended up doing the opposite when she neglected Isabel for her three friends; Jeremiah, Conrad, and her brother Steven, which led to a fight between the two best friends. This novel used many literary devices that contributed to the conflict; three of those literary devices being situational irony, foreshadowing, and diction.
Adele states numerous times this song was “fueled by heartache” (Murphy) which can be compared to Etheridge’s point of view stated in her article, “… all of my raw, unharnessed emotion would, forever forward, be placed into my song writing” (Etheridge). The lyrics are a story of Adele visiting her ex-lover in the future to find that he is happy without her may not relate to a lot of people, but her lyrics, “Never mind I’ll find someone like you/I wish nothing but the best for you too/don’t forget me, I beg/I’ll remember you said sometimes it lasts in love sometimes it hurts instead” (Adele) still affect a lot of people emotionally. The subject of the song “is familiar but the detail she colors it with are vibrantly tactile and resonant” (Fairall). It is the actual combination of the music and words that makes the song so powerful, “…starts low, and then moves higher and louder for the chorus” (Ewer). The music complements the words and
I remember one night when we were fighting he told me I was a stupid bitch, I fired back with whatever name came to mind at that moment. I was so upset at what he was yelling at me and the names he was calling me that I didn't even stop to think about how he was feeling, at that moment my goal was to hurt him as much as he hurt me. D.) I think that during these fights, his goal was to make me feel guilty for leaving him and to make me feel that no one else would want to be with me. He would bring up every tender
A lie fuelled by propaganda which drowned the desperate amongst a green sea of choking gas. It is from these experiences that my poem ‘Dulce Et Decorum Est’ was inspired. At war, you will be degraded to ‘beggars’ and ‘hags’ and you will be hacked away so when you are at your most vulnerable, the gas attacks will send you into a desperate panic for clean air. The quickened pace stimulated by repetition and punctuation of the ‘Gas! GAS!
Who's to hinder, I wonder?" And Legree clenched his fist, and shook it, as if he had something in his hands that he could rend in pieces. (40.6) 463| Simon Legree’s malicious hatred of Tom is utterly evil – and utterly unrestrained. No law, no person, no religion will stand in his way if he wants to vent his psychopathic fury on an innocent man. This is the moment at which Stowe wants every 19th century reader to realize the full horror of slavery.
Looking for Alibrandi is written entirely in first person enabling you to see how she feels about certain people and how she feels about what is happening to her in her life. You can tell that she doesn’t like snobs or racism because she expresses those feelings inside her head and as you are inside her head it is as if you are getting a personal commentary from the main character throughout the whole story, making her a believable character. The use of language in the story helps establish a confident relationship with Josephine. She uses chatty slang to make the reader more comfortable with the story line, especially when she attempts to rationalize a feeling or action on her behalf. Her father calls her “our obnoxious creation” because she has witty observations and is never short of something to
And they were senselessly murdered just because they were different. Nothing today can compare to the holocaust because it was so massive and unforgettable. But the holocaust has taught us about how people need to treat each other. If people start to treat each other like the Nazis did the Jews there is no stopping another holocaust from happening again. The Nazis were judgmental raciest and disgusting people who hated anyone who was different then them.
Spill the blood!” (174,175) Reasoning: No civil person would repeatedly state this phrase. This definitely represents savagery. It shows how bloodthirsty these boys are and then when they recite this while murdering Simon; it makes it even more gruesome. They’re so consumed in all the blood that they don’t even realize they had killed Simon until it is too late. • “Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy.” (235) Reasoning: This quote that was stated at the end of the book shows the reader and myself that the world of savagery only leads to murder and sorrow.
For some it was the worst day imaginable, the most terrible thing ever experienced. As if having a bad dream that they wanted to be awakened from. Six-million lives taken, that’s including women, men, boys, and girls; they were massacred, sacrificed by fire. This paper will detail the bloodthirsty, nonsensical, catastrophic events of The Holocaust and the agitators (Adolf Hitler and the Nazis) who came to supremacy in January 1933. Germans believed that they were racially superior and any other race was inferior to them.
“You want Kay? Well she will be dead by the time you get through me!” Cackled Ezekiel. “I'm supposed to be the Villan here! Everyone hates me but loves you! You've bribed everyone with that blood money you've earned over the years!
