The garden is his world, for which he feels affinity and security in it, allowing a sense of belonging. However, The physical perimeters evoked around the garden, limits his enrichment of belonging. This is demonstrated through the The use of hyperbole. For example, Effect emphases of how Felik’s cherishs his garden in order to feel a sense of belonging. This is depected in “Ten times around the world”, allowing an overuse exaggeration of how important the garden is to feliks.
Robert E. Hayden’s “Those Winter Sundays” is a short lyric poem that grasps a personal story of the relationship between a father and son. The son, who at the time could not perceive his father’s subtle expressions of love, never returned them. The first stanza starts off with a simple line that denotes the tone that the poem will pursue. The notion of “early morning” adds to the silent coldness of the title “Winter Sundays.” The author’s choice of incorporating “Sunday” into the poem initiates a more religious perspective as well. Sundays are religiously known to be a holy day of leisure, and his father got up on Sundays too shows the devotion he put forth into tending to his family.
George and Lennie represent the former group, for whom we can feel sympathy, while Curley is a character with whom it is hard to sympathize. The writer presents Lennie as large and strong, but mentally slow, while his guardian George is physically less capable but mentally much brighter. As soon as we hear that they are constantly having to travel the country for work, because of Lennie’s past mishaps, we feel sorry for them. We sympathize with Lennie, because what happened in Weed, for example, was not really his fault; and we feel sorry for George because he has to cope with the responsibility, if not the burden, of trying to find a way for them both to survive and to stay out of further trouble. Steinbeck invites the reader’s sympathy, in the scene where they camp overnight before going to the ranch.
In the first stanza, “loved his garden like an only son”, the simile explains the displacement Peter felt due to his father spending more time with his garden rather than with his only son. Furthermore the formal address, “…feliks skrzynecki” highlights the disconnection between himself and his father, where he knew him as a father, not “feliks skrzynecki”. Furthermore, the preceeding ellipsis adds to the hesitation of Peter and calling him “feliks”. The tension between him and his father can be seen at an all time high when Peter talks about forgetting his “First polish word”, which is juxtaposed with a great literary work; “Caesar’s gallic war”, in which he stumbled over whilst reading the tenses. This highlights Peter’s distance from the polish society and moving towards a more educated and Australian society.
Crevecoeur's Rhetorical Devices in Letters from an American Farmer In the book, Letters to an American Farmer by Jean De Crevecoeur, the writer attempts to explain his personal take on the society in which he's observed. Crevecoeur explains how a place with no food or warmth cannot be someone's home. To describe this, he uses rhetorical sentences as well as syntax and diction. However, more than those, he writes all of his work with figurative language that flows so intelligently you hardly notice it. All in all, his devices and language make the book easy to understand, read, and agree with.
‘My heart turns to its melancholy work’ has been very carefully worded. Melancholy isn’t a word meaning death, depression, hopelessness and despair, it is simply cheerless but not to the point of gloom. So his job is saddening and repetitive, it could be better, he hopes to move forward but don’t we all? ‘The honey gathered’ in my mind is the dreams gathered from the day. The sorrows are the awakenings from these hopes and the reasons behind not going.
How the poets present the effects of war in ‘Mametz Wood’ and ‘Flag’ In Mametz Wood you are straight away put into the thoughts of the farmers that found ‘them’. The word ‘them’ is a very effective word to use and as the reader you do not know who they are and they must of been alive a long time ago. It also gets straight to the point and it is not just a lot of things like a whole country it is very specific in what it tells you. It’s just them no one else. ‘The wasted young’ really does leave a dramatic effect on you as you begin to realise what Owen is talking about.
~Samuel Butler Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. ~Theodore Roosevelt Whatever we worship, short of God, is sure to be our undoing. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960 Toss your dashed hopes not into a trash bin but into a drawer where you are likely to rummage some bright morning. ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.... People think pleasing God is all God care about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back.
In the poem, “At Cider Mill Farm” by David Harmer, the poet presents his experiences in a range of ways. The title immediately provides the location of the poem and also, “Farm” has strong connotations such as an old fashioned countryside feel, along with animals & tractors etc which foreshadows the tone of the rest of the pom. The poem has irregular structure, with five stanzas all of different lengths. There is also no rhyme scheme which connotes the poet as being lost in memory and too preoccupied to focus on the structure & rhyme scheme. Throughout the poem, the poet retains a wide variety of memories of his uncle's farm.
I as an American have the Freedom of Speech, to say what I want to say. In Whitman’s poem he spook “ The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam” (Whitman, 424) the carpenter is doing his job as American, as a hard working American. No one is telling him or me to be something that he and I don’t want to be. With being an American I have the right to choose what I want to be and do with my life. One other t his Whitman said was “ the delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work” (Whitman, 424) even as an American woman we are always hard working.
