Through out his book he makes it very clear how passionate and devote he was to his task, and how he never hinders in his pursuits. It is his passion, though, that makes his books documents of his opinion, not historical accounts. There are numerous cases through out the text in which Las Casas provides many of his own personal biases. This is done in the hopes of convincing the reader of the urgency of his pursuit. The following will prove that the work of Bartolome de Las Casas cannot be viewed as a credible historical account because of multiple exaggerations, inconsistencies, and persuasive language used within the text.
This brings the helplessness of his situation into perspective as he is being broadcasted to the mass media- his desperation and pain on display- yet the emergency services have not rescued him. Naturally, this would have created a certain degree of fear and panic within him, as it becomes obvious that it’s not the fact that he has not been noticed that is preventing his escape- but the fact that he is beyond saving. Nonetheless, he still tries to draw attention to himself by “twirling” and “turning” his white cotton shirt- showing his determination and strength of will. An important point to note is that the “white” in his shirt is symbolic of not only peace, but also innocence. In this instance, Armitage is reminding the reader that the people who were faced with these circumstances were innocent- and due to the intimate setting
His sentences are always blunt and factual, there are never long describing words as Christopher thinks that it is far more logical to just say what you want to say without putting fancy adjectives in there. He also does not understand lies, and he does not like jokes because he thinks they are lies and lies aren’t the truth so they confuse him. Christopher changes in a slow way that a reader would only notice if they compared the Christopher at the start to the Christopher at the end of the novel. The development flows and does not suddenly happen; it progresses over the book. Christopher does not change an awful lot, but it is noticeable that his attitude has become slightly more lenient towards things he did not previously accept at the beginning of the novel.
Non-violent resistance strategies are designed to avoid bloody conflicts by absolutely refusing to be drawn into a violent confrontation. Far from being cowardly, this is a strategy that requires tremendous courage, self-control, as well as a willingness to endure pain and sometimes even death. The aim of non-violent resistance is to convert the opponent; to win over their mind and heart and persuade them that our point of view is right. Moreover, in nonviolent conflict, the participant does not want to make their opponent suffer; instead they show that they are willing to suffer themselves in order to bring about change. Great historical people have proven nonviolent resistance to be effective in attaining their goals such as Henry David Thoreau, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Cesar Chavez.
The author applies various types of sound imagery, which seems fitting, as the main topic of the passage is the pain that the sound of the bells causes. In the first paragraph, there is an abundance of alliteration, which the writer uses to emphasize different points. For example, the phrase “The bells were still sounding their frenzied call“ uses the alliteration of “s“ to emphasize the continuity of the noise. The alliteration of “s“ is used again later on in the paragraph in the last sentence with a different effect; “Stunned and shaken,“ uses the sound to accent a sort of double blow to the main character. This effect is further strengthened by the preceding line where the alliteration of “r“ in “rocked and reeled with the reeling of bells“ and the alliteration of “d“ in “drenched and drunken“ create a sense of drowsiness, which is shattered by the sharpness of the next line.
Firstly, the speaker informs us that he is “going to kill something. Anything” this shows that they have a lot of pent up energy and cannot find a productive way to excel this energy which illuminates their frustrated attitude and slightly psychotic state of mind. Who or what they want to “kill” seems irrelevant, so long as the gesture is dramatic enough and gains the world's attention, because the speaker wishes not to be “ignored” any longer. The reader may feel intimidated towards the character but pity and sympathise with them at the same time because society is not giving them a chance. The fact that the speaker doesn’t want to be ignored shows that they clearly want empowerment but no one seems to even acknowledge him, this is also shown through the repetition of “I” which threads themes of childishness and immaturity, showing that the character yearns and craves attention, it is quite obvious that this person’s world revolves around them where they are too ignorant to see beyond this.
For example, he writes that Pelayo and Elisenda were surprised by the angel’s appearance at first but ‘very soon overcame the surprise and in the end found him familiar.’ Marquez doesn’t provide the reader with the reason why they found him ‘familiar’ so quickly; he just tells us they do. This is a technique familiar in legendary literature such ass the bible, where events seem to happen ‘out of time and without proper explanation. Marquez balances the concerns with the realistic detail and characterisation with a mystical lack of concern for causality and law, touching on both image and language in one story.
The Conversation’s absence of sound in many shots represents the ambiguity and absence of the reality in the line “He’d kill us if he had the chance” and the lack of love and emotion in Harry Caul’s life. Sound and speech is incredibly subjective and is very dependent on perspective. For example, screams can often be interpreted in two ways; one being out of fear, and the other being out of excitement. This sort of misconception is extremely similar to that of which occurs in The Conversation. The misinterpretation of the line “He’d kill us if he had the chance” causes an extreme amount of confusion and drama.
His use of longer, more complex sentence structures contradicts the style of writing that he is known for while also paving the way to make his tone more apparent, one of disjuncture and alienation. Hemingway feels the need to reinforce the idea that everyone does not need to conform to society, and they all have choices to make when it comes it difficult decisions. Hemmingway’s brilliance shines by showing that simple words meticulously placed in simple sentences can still tell a
To me it is unethical to betray myself and treat myself worse than the way I should. This actually simplifies a huge part of struggling inside my heart. In this principle I assume all normal human beings would not do anything to harm the others. Well, of course, I would not neglect the consequences. As usual, outcomes are always extremely important.
