Compare how poets use language to present feelings in “The Manhunt” and one other poem (Nettles) In ‘Manhunt’, Simon Armitage uses rhyme to reflect the togetherness of a relationship. He says “After the first phase, after passionate nights and intimate days.” As the poem goes on, the reader can start to recognise that the un-rhymed cuplets show how fragmented their relationship has become. In ‘Nettles’ Vernon Scannell uses elements of nature, the nettles, to portray his keen anger towards the pain his son is going through. At the beginning of the poem, Scannell uses soft ‘s’ sounds to emphasise the soothing of his injured son who has fallen in a nettle bed. The child is presented using emotive language.
The Day They Set Out Response Brandon Moreira In the short story “The Day They Set Out” by Beverly Harris, the protagonist, Jean is stuck in a life in which she does the same predictable routine. This makes her feel empty inside, and that she needs to try something new. The causes for her emptiness and difficulties are that, because of her lack of social skills, she has almost no friends. Her husband, Ross does not love her anymore, so he looks at other women to satisfy himself. Also, her lack of intelligence has left her with no job and an inability to get a job.
This viewpoint is particularly effective in this chapter, as readers, we can relate to the terror and anxiety felt by Arthur. At the start of the chapter he comments on feeling ‘calm and cheerful’ however this state of contentment disappears at the chapter progresses – ‘I sat, too terrified to move’ and ‘my throat felt constricted and I began to shiver.’ In the ghost story genre this technique is effective – we can imagine ourselves in Arthur’s place – reliving his experiences. Hill uses the senses to create a sense of terror in this chapter during which the theme of childhood is developed when Kipps discovers the locked nursery. The use of the bumping sound ‘bump
After not getting a hold of someone, he seeks out women to flirt with to try to fill that void in his heart. Later on he shows how badly he is in need for togetherness. Holden starts to talk about his relationships with Phoebe his sister, and Jane. Jane is really special because Jane once gave him
My friend lifted up her shirt, showed her a bright red (not pink) belly, and told her mother she had been calling and informing the doctor's office for days. They simply told her it was normal to have pain, not to worry, and they could not fit her in for an appointment until the following week. From the site of my friends stomach, her mother rushed her to the emergency room in horror. What my friend had was a horrible disease called necrotizing fasciitis and it had spread through parts of her body like wild fire. So I began investigating and found that she was not the only one.
Additionally, he adds the phrase “reeking with emotion” at the end of the sentence. The word “reeking” he uses, brings emotions to some strong unpleasant sent, which makes the readers dislike it. The compact passage on the home is ripe with extremely powerful imagery. First the allegory of the narrative serves as an extended metaphor. The main purpose of that aspect is to tell a story of the vile aspects of the settings that exist in without the "real new world".
In this unimaginable position of sorrow there is nothing Creon can do to fix anything at all. Creon’s major flaw of stubbornness leads to pointless actions, which causes a series of suicides, and finally a tragic downfall. The tragic hero’s regrettable path and destination of sorrow without a doubt prove Antigone to be a Shakespearean Tragedy. But the fact that Creon displayed inability by refusing to face his mistakes and in return received true inability that forever disables him from escaping his guilt and ever becoming the king he once aspired to
The characters in the stories realize something beneficial, but by realizing, hope is lost, innocence is lost, and instead that hope is replaced by a slap of strong and cold reality. Most often the character gets stuck- stuck in Dublin, stuck with their family, stuck with loss of love. Epiphanies being both destructive and creative are especially found in the stories “Araby,” “Eveline, “and “The Dead.” In the story “Araby,” the main character is a young boy. The story is told from his point of view and the reader is given a direct insight to his innermost feelings. He is completely captivated by a young girl from down his street.
Furthermore, it shows that the lack of communication is coming through the isolation and difficulty of the foreign environment. “I cannot speak. Breathing, in this heavy air, grows more difficult. When the paralysis reaches my chest I shall die: probably tonight.” (Le Guin, 144). The environment that the protagonist is in, impacts his psyche.
I walked over to the other side of the bed and placed my hand into the open palms of my nanas, I leaned into her ear " Nana, i dont know if you can see me or hear me but its Rob and i want you to know that we made it here safe, and I love you." As I uttered this sentence i felt her gently grasp my hand. I stood there, i wasnt sure why but I starred endlessly at the machine, I watched as the numbers rose and then dropped. For hours I waited, I watched and I prayed. I prayed that the years of hurt and anger that had found its way into my dads heart would somehow disappear for just this moment, that the loss of words between him and my aunt would mend and my grandmother would
