‘Please. You can’t you have to carry the fire… ‘I can’t just take me with you papa. I can’t.”(McCarthy, 278). The intent in writing this paper was to set the mood and tone to that of a dark state and bring the audience into the book and make them feel the pain that the boy is feeling. The tone after reading this passage comes out as a dark and depressing one in which you feel for the boy and know that he is having a hard time with his father’s death.
2008 AP LIT FREE RESPONSE: Section II, Question One In both poems “When I Have Fears” by John Keats, and “Mezzo Cammin” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, both narrators expose their unfulfilled aspirations with the underlying fear that death will soon approach. Keats explains how his career as a famous, credited author has not yet been fulfilled, and fears that he will not live long enough to do so. Conversely, Longfellow looks back on his past slightly disappointed, but assured that he has the latter half of his life to accomplish his objectives and goals. Longfellow is dismal and terrified of death, while Keats comes to realize that his dreams are infinitesimal in the grand scheme of things, and any life lived is a gift that will eventually succumb to death. Keats’ poem is one extensive run-on sentence that truly “runs” across the page.
The added use of “they” ultimately shows the loss or lack of identity held by these men in life or death. In addition, the regular rhyme scheme in the poem portrays the ongoing harshness and bitterness that Browning feels towards the display. Enjambment blurs the evenly spaced content which furthermore shows that Browning is confused about why brutality was allowed and continued to happen. In the sixth stanza, Browning puzzles over the causes of suicide: disillusioned idealism, the world’s cruelty, money and women. This is shown by “Money gets women, cards and dice Get money, and ill luck gets just The copper couch…”.
In On His Blindness, many interpretations focus on the negative mood and resentful tone of the poem surrounding the author’s blindness. According to one interpretation, Milton’s blindness limited his ability to write poetry because, “there was no way for a blind man to put words to paper” (Answers.com). Although these interpretations highlight the dark side of these poems, it’s clear that the authors were presenting a self-revelation about choice. The self-revelation about choice occurs as the main character is presented with choices. The first line of each poem uses a first person format.
Anderson shows that war has a damning effect on war journalists as well as soldiers, and that their loved ones and families are also heavily affected. One of these effects on the characters is that they lose a sense of hope and as a result, always expect the worse. Talzani depends on fate to answer the toughest questions in his life and to comfort him by covering up horrors in his past by blaming it on the power of fate, which is out of his control. Dr Talzani admits, ‘would you believe that sometimes I am so tired, or the cave is so dark, I’m not even sure of the colours I give them’. To make himself feel better he embodies a fatalistic view which is that ‘there is no pattern to who lives or dies in war’.
Discuss Millers presentation of Hale in Acts 1 and 2, focusing in particular on how his attitude towards the events in Salem changes. In Acts 1 and 2 Arthur Miller presents Reverend Hale as a book-smart, respectable but also dynamic figure. As we move through Act 1 and 2 we see his thoughts and views change. When he first arrives Hale appears to be an intelligent, open- minded man but one who knows little of the situation in Salem and thinks nothing but good can come from him being there. This then moves to him coming to a swift and perhaps hasty conclusion without taking in all the evidence at the end of Act 1.
Doubt causes people to believe that you do not know something when you actually do. For example in the passage stated "So today I have expressly rid my mind of all worries and arranged for myself a clear stretch of free time." But, in reality stated by Rene Descartes "but to accomplish this, it will not be necessary for me to show that all my opinions are false, which is something I could perhaps never false, which is something I could perhaps never manage." This conveys to the readers that he does not need to doubt himself from his worries because it all in his mind which means he cannot prove to a soul that he is not worried about anything. Skepticism makes a person questions ideas toward multiple things such as knowledge or opinions that are stated as if it is true like facts.
