Irony is used here almost to see a different perspective of the hero. James W. Hall also displays metaphor throughout the poem. “Nobody can buin der suits’ comes off as a casual line but has an almost subliminal meaning. During the time he wrote this poem Hall admits that he was depressed and by saying that he could not stop living the life of a super hero by simply burning a suit portrays as one cannot quit being a character. In conclusion the understanding of rhetorical devices may present a reader with a

Et. Al to highlight the deliberate emphasis current affairs programs place on certain aspects of reality in order to cater to their own priorities. The use of the satirical and film techniques such as the use of a hand-held camera behind the scenes, juxtaposition, dramatic irony, and cameo are manipulated to enhance the verisimilitude of Frontline in uncovering the way in which current affairs programs manipulate and misrepresent to truth to cater to their needs. The process of editing is one of the key mechanisms employed by Frontline to manipulate the representation of the truth that accommodates their own agenda and prospects. In order to increase ratings, bring about recognition from higher powers and greater possibilities of pay rises, the staff at Frontline purposefully emphasize perceptions of a story that satisfy their target audience.
In the critiquing essay Ernest Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants”: icebergs, raisin bread, and the shortstory, Jefferson Flanders offers a critical view of how Hemingway does the exact opposite of what he attempted to do in this writing of Hills Like White Elephants. Flanders narrows his attention on the clever writing of Hemingway but also points out his attempt to shock the critics when he wrote about abortion in the 1920s. According to Flanders, Hemingway didn't care what critics thought about his writings but wrote about the shocking topic of abortion to capture the attention of the critics and have them talk about him. Flaunders supports his opinion with biographical, literary and historical information, much of it coming directly from Hemingway himself but at the same time, he is also showing his own biases of the subject matter. Flanders also made his main point very clear throughout his arguments by showing that Hemingway constantly left out detailed information, expected his readers to know what he knew and utilized obvious symbolism.Vast amounts of light was shed on Hemingway's short story by the way Flanders demonstrates his viewpoint and relationship to the omission style of writing and mentioned shocking points.
The painting triumphed greatly at the Salon of 1864, this was a time when the contemporary society had preference on realism over history and mythical painting. History painting was being ignored and was falling to disuse, Moreau did not agree with this. Moreau was in support for idealism , as an artist he wanted to dedicate his time as an artist forsaking his other life as a human being. The painting’s symbolic intentions, the use of the mythological subject (Sphinx), and the authoritative severity in the style gave an impression of the original grand art. Moreau was though of by many as the saviour of the grand at a time when realism had taken over the paintings at the Salon.
and other pieces in his oeuvre, it becomes clear that Duchamp’s intention was not simply to destroy art, but to expand our conceptions of it, challenge it, and in doing so enrich it, and even underscore the artists and artistic traditions that preceded him. Within the context of an interpretation of Duchamp and his work within the field of Cultural Studies it becomes necessary to understand how Duchamp fit within the distinction between “culture as perfect” and “culture as ordinary”; he was present turning the turning point between the eras of those two definitions, and we may consider his work as it relates to both possible conceptions, and whether it had a role in challenging them. To begin with this context we must consider Leonardo da Vinci’s Renaissance masterpiece painting, the Mona Lisa. The Mona Lisa is certainly the most famous portrait in the world and one of the most recognizable images in the world of any sort, highly important in the history of art and western culture in general,
Romanticism saw things from a creative perspective which was beyond the actual appearance of things (Unknown, 2007). Language of Art Carefully balanced and composed with a single element, Line; Ingres has created the pictorial and illusionistic space, all with gestural and contour lines in his depiction of the Niccolo Paganini. Being from Neo-classicism, the work is purely representational and captures the physical likeness. The drawing, even though it shows details and skills, it looks unfinished, especially at the lower part of the sketch. It lacks any recreation of emotion, which is again a typical neoclassic trait.
However, Berger and McCloud have two completely different reasons to why art is this way. Scott McCloud confronts the general stereotype that, “Comics were those bright, colorful magazines filled with bad art, stupid stories and guys in tights”(McCloud 694), a common misconception most people have. He explains how not all comics are illiterate garbage and the lineage of the comic strip, such as masterpieces like the Bayeux Tapestry and “The Tortures of Saint Erasmus”. The art of comics can be compared to that of storytelling. The sequential art and text relays a story that can adapt many meanings just as a painting might.
A reactive approach is taken towards Allison's creative process, as she states that she allows her painting to do the 'talking', as she splatters paint in an unpredictable manner and interpreting random composition and works on multiple pieces at once. “Many of my recent pieces are juxtaposed with titles taken from people's online status messages or tweets. People carefully construct their dream selves with each online status update or cut of a surgeon's knife; I have built a colourful, moody, psychedelic world where these fantasies roam freely.” Allison's current art work makes use of bold texture and rhythm which aims to create a psychedelic experience inspired by dreamscapes, nature, the capacity of human consciousness which explores human psychology and behaviour, and also likes to make her art work appear somewhat paranormal. She wants to viewer to feel as if they're being taken somewhere, “When people look at my work, I want...I want it to take them somewhere,” a place of creations and self
In order to approach this comparison we must define each term first, so that way we could take a better evaluation of the art pieces shown below and point out the principles of design and principles of art being used by the artists. Neoclassicism was born out of a rejection of the Rocco and late Baroque styles in the middle of the 18th century. These artists wanted a style that could convey serious moral ideas such as justice, honor, and patriotism. The movement was a profoundly educational one, for its devotees believed that the fine arts could and should spread knowledge and enlightenment. Romanticism began in the same era but its approach had to do with the modern rather than the antique.
