GAS! Quick, boys!’ places a confronting reality amongst the literature. In addition, polysyllabic verbs such as ‘fumbling’, ‘stumbling’ and ‘floundering’ force you, the reader to place emphasis on these depictive words which create visuals and mirror those moments of sheer desperation. It is through the controlling techniques of pace and imagery in my poetry that I hoped to depict the violence and utter vulnerability of life at war. However, the horror does not stop there, the dehumanisation is unrelenting.
Red is known to represent love, lust and danger. By her wearing red, the reader is given another warning of the trouble she could cause. Also, her suggestive and provocative body language ("she put her hands behind her back and leaned against the door frame so that her body was thrown forward.") and flimsy excuses to be with the men in their quarters contribute to the rancher's view of her as a "tramp." George quickly joins them in their hatred for
“When you're a beautiful person on the inside, there is nothing in the world that can change that about you. Jealousy is the result of one's lack of self-confidence, self-worth, and self-acceptance. The Lesson: If you can't accept yourself, then certainly no one else will.” In Joan Didion’s essay, with the help of periodic sentences and metaphorical language, she explains that self-respect does not come from others but from within oneself; it cannot be achieved when one is averse to oneself. Didion was looking for outer gratification, but through the ordeal of being rejected, gains the knowledge that self-respect is proper value of one’s character, and learning to love oneself. One can only be truly happy when one learns to accept oneself.
As he says, “it is a high time to face the persecutors who haunt the bright kid with thick glasses from kindergarten to the grave.” The bullying, the teasing, and the harassing for their abilities and their “disgusting taste” must be stopped, as stated in his writing. Using a firm tone toward the issue you can tell he has experienced this, and that connects him deeper with the audience though pathos. Leonid Fridman shows a very negative attitude towards the focus of “Nerds and Geeks.”He supports disagreement through pathos, satire, and a impressive word choice, He over take the mind of the reader with these rhetorical strategies. Through elementary school, middle school, and in high school, everyone needs their nerds and
We see Christopher admiring the way the detective works, detaching himself from the world and seeing things which many people don’t. ‘The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.’ And ‘Sherlock Holmes had, in a very remarkable degree, the power of detaching his mind at will. Due to Christopher’s condition this is a very rare thing we see as it is showing slight emotion of admiration. Whereas Christopher never shows emotion; when he talks of his mother’s death you only get the straight facts from Christopher and never how he feels. So at this point we have a re-evaluation of the character.
That is not how vengeance works, Lucy. Vengeance is like a fire, the more it devours, the hungrier it gets”. (Pg112) I feel like David suddenly seen things from a different point of view. Instead of seeing a situation as a man filled with desire for a woman, he’s seeing what Mr. Isaacs seen when the situation was involving his daughter. Throughout Disgrace David Lurie battled with passion continuously.
Lack of emphasis on humans makes it less personal which may confuse the reader as the people that passed are usually the main focus and something you relate to 9/11. He chose to do this, because it makes the reader feel more terror, because of how unnatural the images created are and how inconceivable it is that these things are almost like humans. The rhyming between the lines “And a cabinet spews its lunch. And a water-cooler staggers and slumps.” links the lines together in both of them Armitage is trying to describe the physical things; this objective view is refreshing and resembles humans in the towers when the plane hits. It highlights that they were just left in the towers and no one would take the machines (like the humans) out of imminent danger increasing the duration of terror felt by the workers.
Also, Brooks says that Bush’s speeches are emotionally charged, “dependency-creating” and thus provoking fear amongst his listeners. On the other hand Thurston Clarke, author of “Why JKF’s Inaugural Succeeded”, demonstrates
At the same time, the readers are actually able to both enjoy and absorb the information the author is trying to communicate due to the comical approach. Satire is most often used through the following: irony, sarcasm, ridicule, and exaggeration. It is used to encourage
“You’re full of acid, you fool. It’ll be a goddamn miracle if we can get to the hotel and check in before you turn into a wild animal” (22). Lines like this makes the reader question whether or not to believe the thoughts of someone who’s “full of acid.” But this was only the beginning. Duke and his attorney make their way to the Desert Inn, this is where the real strangeness begins. After the two check into the room, they decide to have a night on the town, while inhaling large amounts of ether.
