John T. Edge for sure did not leave until he ate those pickled pig lips. Pickled pig lips? That is just flat out nasty, but it made for an amazing profile. This profile was saturated with detail just as those pickled pig's lips were saturated in pickling juice. I like how the author set the scene in the first paragraph but then skipped backward to tell you how he got to where he was, with pig lips sitting in front of him.
The very same type of ending was seen when Holden recalled the movie he watched about the Englishman who had lost his memory and his response to it. He describes the movie as, “don’t see it if you don’t want to puke all over yourself” (138). His response to the movie most likely would have been because of how Holden had believed that Allie was somehow going to get through a terrible situation, which was clearly explained in the movie that Holden watched, but since Allie did
Dr. Gerrit Kimsma also tells us about euthanasia fulfilling dreams Gerrit believes, “They can also focus on the things they really want to do, like taking a last trip, or making up a fight with someone in the family, or saying goodbye” (The Right to Die). I agree with Dr. Kimsma because when someone has a dream, it makes life easier for them. It puts them at ease if they accomplish that goal or dream before they die. In the novel, Lennie has a dream to tend the rabbits on their farm. Before George performs euthanasia he talks to Lennie by the Salinas River about how their life is going to be on their dream farm.
Gotta love Rednecks “My mama always said that one day, I’d be good at something. Who would have thought that something would be zombie killing?” These are the words said by the most imaginative, resourceful, and proficient killer in the movie. Your probably saying to yourself, “self, how come this guy?” Well, I’ll feed you baby birds, just sit back relax and follow rule number four. Buckle up, because it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Wichita?
For example, Sam loved being sick so that he could use the thermometer. The thermometer obtains mercury in it, in which he would break them to get an actual view. He had grown to love the substance so much; he insisted that other kids should have been also. Do all mothers have an effect on what a child becomes involved in? Nevertheless, Mercury (Hg) is well defined here on this earth.
Circe had invited Odyseeus’s crew into her home, she filled their bowls with a wonderful stew but “Once they’d drained the bowls she filled, suddenly she struck with her wand, drove them into her pigsties, all of them bristling into swine” (Homer 237, 261-263). This shows that Circe was more worried about playing scrabble with men and turning them into animals than respecting the code of hospitality. Even when she offers hospitality in the end, she still has the motive of playing scrabble with Odysseus, and just wants that from him. Calypso is the next to be inhospitable when she keeps Odysseus against his will in her home, even when he wants to go home. This is evidenced by the fact that he was “weeping there as always, wrenching his heart with sobs and groans and anguish, gazing out over the barren sea through blinding tears”
If one says no to the other, let his wing break. “ (Narrator and Okonkwo, page 19) The oral tradition is for people to say “We shall all live. We pray for life, children, a good harvest and happiness.” after breaking a kola nut. The meaning of this is to wish for prosperity for all. This is important in the novel because when Okonkwo interferes with the Christians’ way of life at the end of the novel his “wing breaks”(he dies).
Just as we have a fresh start after confession or repenting to God. There was a theme of hatred in certain parts of the movie, for example Hannah the Spitfire Grill’s owner, her nephew, had hatred feelings toward Percy. He thought wrong of Percy; he judged the book by its cover. We as humans are used to that point of view, judging a book by its cover, the ending part of the movie where he confesses that he was wrong really taught a good lesson to all of us. Compassion was defiantly another theme in this film, compassion was a theme in a sense that Hannah and the town were compassionate for one another, they all relied on each other.
Lord of the Flies When using diction a reader could see and imagine a story being told in different perspectives. With the right words the author may explain a story but be imagined as something stronger. A perfect example is Golding’s novel, Lord of the Flies; he uses several literacy devices in order to state that society without rules gets out of control. In a paragraph from the book it explains that they chose to kill a mom pig which means that they didn’t care if her piglets were going to be affected of their cruel decision. “She was black and pink; and the great bladder of her belly was fringed with a row of piglets that slept or burrowed and squeaked (134)”.
In the early parts of the story, when Edzi and Nani’s first child, Kofi, falls sick, it is attributed to the works of a wizard or witch tryin to suck the blood of the little boy. This belief is strengthened by the fetish priest who knows very well that the truth of the matter is far from what he would have the troubled mother and grandmother believe. He goes on to give the mother “a few simple rules to follow in other to preserve the life of her child.” Among these, he asks her to place a bowl of palm oil before each window so that “all witches and wizards travelling about at night, who might wish to take the life of the child, will drink the oil and besatisfied and so will not enter the room to drink the child’s blood. Even though we know this is not really the case, the grandmother, Dekpor, pays a huge sum of money to the priest because the society actually believes in the existence and works of witches and wizards. Again, when the child’s sickness reoccurs, we find his mother going through the town, beating a tin and shouting in a loud voice “you witches and wizards of this place, leave my child.
