His temper during these four books can be ungovernable, as he says: ‘Now when Eurylochus said that, I considered drawing the long sword from my sturdy side and lopping his head off to roll in the dust, but my men held me back and calmed me down’1. Nevertheless he has shown his patience and persistence before. For example he persists and continues to endure all that happens even when he ‘had no further use for life, no wish to see the sunshine anymore’2. Earlier, in the Cyclops’s cave we see Odysseus’ restraint when he had ‘murder in [his] heart’3 but held back and devised a better plan. It is possible to think that as his intense journey continues, Odysseus becomes less patient and his temper shortens, this would explain how in certain areas Odysseus shows patience, restraint and endurance, whilst in others he is easily angered or frustrated.
Although Terry, the protagonist, overthrows the philosophy of D’n’D (dumb and deaf) and becomes a conscientious person, he is partially responsible for his fate. Other characters like Edie and Father Barry are critical catalyst’s in driving his change. In the opening sequence of the film, the audience is presented with a musical score that is bombastic and battle like with the steady drums, but also the lone saxophone that howls along side with the harsh percussion. This suspenseful music suggests that Terry is about to go on a journey or transformation. As we see Terry approach whistle blower’s apartment, Joey Doyle, Terry is shot from high camera angles.
We turn off the lights when watching scary movies, and when it’s time to go to bed, we secretly make sure the closet doors are shut. Fear keeps our hearts pumping and endorphins rushing, for it is an emotion that reminds us of our mortality. How ironic it is to experience more life in our fascination with death. The two legendary writers, Poe and King, have ruled the universe of death and horror with remarkable success, both gifted with the talent of introducing each reader to his or her own subconscious fears. Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King are the masters of their craft, blessed- or perhaps cursed- with imaginations that set higher standards in the field of writing.
To Waken an Old Lady is a poem that was authored by William Carlos Williams. The poem essentially focuses on the aspect of old age. Therefore, the writer utilizes numerous bookish tools so as to construct the poem. In my experience of reading the poem I got attracted to the manner in which the author presented the poem the use of literary devices actually affected my experience. The use aspects of content, language and form were of greatest significance in the entire poem.
Sound and/or music can intensify or pacify the audience’s emotions, assist in story telling, and can be an element of the plot. In the beginning of this film, the invisible sound is used as foreshadowing. Duce’s voice (who is the hit man for the MacManus brothers) is heard in the background and used as a voice over narration. He says “When I raise my flashing sword, I will take vengeance upon mine enemies and I will repay those who haste me. O Lord, raise me to thy right hand, count me among the saints.” Also, when the MacManus brothers have their religious epiphany, Duce’s voice is again heard and he says “And I shall count thee among my favored sheep and you shall have the protection of all the angels in heaven.” At this time, the MacManus brothers decide to kill the evil doers.
I’m working with a vocal coach. Strengthening the “ahhaa”. A lot of guys ignore the laugh and that’s about standards. I mean, if you’re going to get into the Evil League of Evil you HAVE to have a memorable laugh. I mean do you think Bad Horse didn’t work on his whinny?
Harwood then says ‘They suffer’, emphasised by the short syntax. This sentence is ambiguous as to who’s suffering; the people or the composers themselves as Kröte is adding his own elements or 'variations' to the music. Kröte’s intentions are stressed with the alliteration of ‘malice’ and ‘more’, as he delights in reversing the power in society by playing his music badly and having no one notice. He even plays the repeats of the pieces through, just to add to the length of his performance, even though in the fifth stanza, the narrator tells us that 'he was expected to perform something short and sweet'. The use of the word ‘expected’ is important, as it shows how Kröte, in not doing what was expected of him, is in defiance of society.
Robert Olen Mr. Pagel ENGL 1010 February 11, 2012 "homage to my hips" Lucille Clifton was a woman of great pride in herself as well as her heritage. The poem "homage to my hips" was not the first poem that she wrote honoring certain assets that involved her physical appearance. Mrs. Clifton also wrote the poems "Homage of Mine", and "homage to my hair." The poems were written in the sixties, but not published until later after a public reading in New York, where Random House ask Lucille to submit a manuscript of some of her works. There are plenty of examples in the poem that portrays the struggles of the time for women, not to mention her struggling nationality that has been fighting for equal rights for over a century.
Evidences of Winston thinks and acts as orthodoxy party member are “Almost unconsciously he traced with his finger in the dust on the table: 2+2=5” (290), “Winston was listening to the telescreen” (287), and one of the symbolic events is Winston plays chess alone, because this is what orthodoxy party members do. Winston shows how the Party punishes people who against the Party and brainwash them until they become orthodoxy. Winston once promises himself that he will die hating Big Brother, but Winston loses his hope and no longer believes in his own value, he now inputs the Big Brother’s value as his own. Consequently, Winston lives physically in Big Brother’s society but with a dead
‘Spring’s here, Winter’s not gone’ – Discuss ways in whichThomas presents uncertainty in ‘But these things also’ Uncertainty is a a huge theme that runs throughout the entirity of Thomas’ poetry, particularly in the poem ‘But these things also’. He does this by using a variaty of techniques suchas his choice of imagery, language and also the lack of rhyme. Thomas used this lack of a rhyme scheme to show the reader that he felt poetry shouldn’t be twisted to fit a certain mould. Thomas often used nature as a topic for his poems, because as a poet he felt he could relate to the uncertainty of it, and this becomes clear to the reader within ‘But these things also’. Immediately as a reader we are thrown into the theme of uncertainty due to the ambigious title.
