They are said to be ‘Ghosts’ trousers,like the dangle of hung men’. This means that the previous owners are probably dead. Line 7 ‘but none inside to suffer or condem’ is implying that the dead men’s souls are free of the social prejudice that they have received because of the part of the city they live in. This stanza gives a negative image of street, because of the poor people who have to work very hard to
“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When I cleanse you from your sins, I will repopulate your cities, and the ruins will be rebuilt. The fields that used to lie empty and desolate in plain view of everyone will again be farmed. And when I bring you back, people will say, ‘This former wasteland is now like the Garden of Eden! The abandoned and ruined cities now have strong walls and are filled with people! (Ezekiel 36:25-35,
Chapter 2 introduces Tom Buchanan as the selfish and forceful character he is. ""We're getting off" he insisted. "I want you to meet my girl."" Fitzgerald's use of the word "insisted" shows that he is forceful and wants his own way. Tom's use of the phrase "my girl" shows that he is selfish and views Myrtle as a possession, not a person.
When Cher questions Elton as to why he does not like Tai, it becomes clear through irony that popularity is crucial. Elton declares “why not? Why not? Don’t you even know who my father is?” “(Cher) oh! You are a snob and a half!” Cher is blind to see that she to is a snob as she judges people the same way Elton judges
Simultaneously it suggests that mans’ greed and lust for power that provokes such technological advances and the adaptation of shallow values, such as consumerism and materialism, that accompany these advances may result in mankind’s efforts to recover from the damage it causes being all too late. Pixar highlights these issues through powerful filmic technics. Wall-E frighteningly projects a desolate Earth landscape destroyed by activities associated with technology and consumerism along with the vulnerability of a society reliant on technology. Overhead shots in the opening scene of a former urban environment, in conjunction with dull colouring depict a bleak and desolate landscape resembling a giant industrial wasteland. This is further reflected through low camera angles that emphasize the immensity of industrial waste, rubbish and pollution existent on Earth.
Then the setting describes an evening sky that had turned red, yellow and black, as he saw burning books turning into sparkling whirls and blew away causing the wind to turn black. This story takes place in a futuristic time, they lived in a controlled environment where they lacked freedom and they weren’t allowed to have books, TV’s and etc… and they also lacked choices. (page.1) 2. The setting creates a strong sorrow feeling, just knowing a whole society is being controlled due to town laws. The mood sort of feels very sad and empty to where they have
The very smoke came out of their chimneys were poverty-stricken. Little rags and shreds of smoke, so unlike the great silver plumes that uncurled from the Sheridans’ chimneys … It was disgusting and sordid. They came out with a shudder. But still one must go everywhere; one must see everything. So through they went.” (256).
The first panel illustrates dead humans and animals with a raging fire in the background. The mural depicts “all the races of the world, perhaps those who have lived the horrific bloodshed depicted in the first two panels worshipping what looks like a Hindu god of some kind. Everything is very New Age and multicultural, like a New World Order where one is all and all are one.” The New World Order seeks to reduce the population to about two billion by using global genocide (“The Denver”). Their “goal is to create a one world (fascist) government, stripped of nationalistic and regional boundaries, that is obedient to their agenda” (Adachi). In Peace and Harmony with Nature
The language used to describe the setting clearly connotes the awfulness of the setting and perhaps therefore foreshadows the tragic events, which happen in the setting itself. The first descriptive simile ‘a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens;’ sums up the grimness of the place and helps the reader imagine the scale of ashes and dirt which the underclass of the 1920’s have to live in. These people are described further as ‘ash-grey men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air.’ This description of the men crumbling suggests that they are adding to the mounds of ashes that lie in the Valley. This is true as the Ashes have been born out of the industrialization of man and are a result of the New Great City developing. The city has dumped all its un wanted waste into the Valley including its un needed underclass.
They represent the civilization that once existed but was abandoned amongst the utter destruction of war. This can be seen in a scene where Szpilman walks through an abandoned street littered with the leftovers of peoples lives. It is an over the shoulder shot of Szpilman staggering down an abandoned street. The lines of perspective go on as far as the eye can see showing that the destruction is endless. These two symbols of beauty and destruction are contrasted in the scene with the German officer talked about in the above paragraph.
