What would you feel? Ladies and gentlemen the discovery of loss is confronting as it forces the responders to reassess all the prejudices. It is this discovery of loss that allows the Zeitgeist of discrimination to be changed. Noonuccal’s poem the “The municipal gum” confronts the 1960s responders of segregating the natural environment from the Indigenous people. Through this confrontation Noonuccal force them to discover the loss of land to the industrialisation which ultimately changes the moral toward the aboriginal community.

Lee includes Dolphus Raymond in ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ to explore the issues of racial prejudice surrounding the time in which the novel is set and in the novel itself. Lee uses this extract to show us the challenges that mixed children faced at the time as a result of segregation. During the trial, the events of it cause Dill to become overwhelmed to the point of which he starts to cry, so Jem and Scout take him to the square outside the courthouse. This is where the children first encounter Dolphus Raymond. Dolphus Raymond sees that Dill is crying and responds with ‘cry about the simple hell people give other people – without thinking.
Then, in Equiano’s case, he wants people to see the cruel side of slavery and for people to join the abolitionists. Rowlandson and Equiano have similar purposes as illustrated by the way in which they relate their experiences to their readers. Rowlandson states in her story that the Indians were terrible, viscous creatures because they bury her daughter ( ). Equiano too does the same thing in very persuasive writing making people think he has a much miserable time than he really does; for example, Equiano has an owner who he thinks is more of as family than as owner ( ). Rowlandson’s narrative is written around the time of the French-Indian War.
I say this because he is comparing the failure of our country to a show that is looming over us. Another Rhetorical device I noticed was when he said “bloodbaths in Cambodia and Algeria, India and Pakistan, Ireland and Rwanda, Eritrea and Ethiopia, Sarajevo and Kosovo; the inhumanity in the gulag and the tragedy of Hiroshima.” I felt like this was an example of parallelism. He structured his words in a similar way to make it easier to understand by the audience. He does this again when he says “and unnatural state in which the lines blur between light and darkness, dusk and dawn, crime and punishment, cruelty and compassion, good and evil.” Again, the words are structured the same, this has a stronger impact on the audience. One fallacy that I found was an example of a false dilemma.
He orchestrates the action so that just as we are becoming numb with horror over the deaths of young men, he modulates to a different key – the death of a cavalry horse – which is somehow more shocking and poignant. When our powers of indignation are battered, Harrison describes the wanton destruction of a peasant’s home and we feel anger again. When the noise and smell of battle overwhelm us, Harrison creates an oasis of calm, even lyricism. In one of these intervals, the soldiers are sent away from the front for a rest in a French village. They discover a stream and go swimming.
As a white living in this County, I can see how visible and evident racial prejudice against the blacks has clouded the minds of many. Bob Ewell is one example of which racial prejudice has taken over his righteous mind. He had accused the innocent Tom Robinson for raping his daughter, Mayella Ewell. During the proceedings of the trial, however, was humiliated by Atticus Finch as he pointed the lies and flaws that lied in his testimony. Just yesterday, he had done another act which is hideous of mankind, taking revenge on Atticus Finch’s children, Jeremy Finch and Jean Louise Finch.
My dear friends, soon God will set us a new test,’ warns the priest. How do the hardships of the plague bring out the best and the worst in the villagers of Eyam? Geraldine Brook’s novel ‘Year of Wonders’ vividly recounts the story of the seventeenth century plague which cripples and transforms the English town of Eyam. The Black Death which strikes the village not only reveals the stark contrast between the admirable and evil nature of the towns people, but it also redefines the villagers of Eyam. The personal beliefs and social order which were once static, collapse in the face of God’s ‘test.’ When faced with adversity and desperation, certain individuals embrace the challenge and their heroism shines through, whilst others instead choose to turn their backs on the town, acting in selfish and crude ways.
Because America is a haven from violence, the violence under the Taliban in Kabul is even more shocking and sobering. Amir gets a taste of violence when he and Baba are fleeing for Pakistan and Kamal's father commits suicide. However, nothing can prepare him for the extent of violence and suffering in Afghanistann. One of the most graphic accounts is of the stonings at Ghazi Stadium. Like the rapes of Hassan and Sohrab, the event symbolizes the devastation of Afghanistan as a whole, as Afghans once knew it.
Joe, who immediately rose. ‘I tell you what, young fellow,’ said she, ‘I didn’t bring you up by hand to badger people’s lives out. It would be blame to me, and not praise, I had. People are put in the Hulks because they murder, and because they rob, and forge, and do all sorts of bad; and they always begin by asking questions.Living in this guilt ridden environment, Pip encounters the convict Magwitch in the churchyard. Pip agrees to help Magwitch in his elope by bringing him food and a file from the forge.
