Pigeon Plague in Our Cities – Jo Bonella The opinion piece ‘Pigeon Plague in Our Cities’ by Jo Bonella, affirms that the problem with feral pigeons in Australia is severed. The first argument the writer makes is that the pigeon is over populated in Australian cities. The numbers of pigeons are being presented, 60,000 in Melbourne and 50,000 in Perth. These statistics intend to shock the readers and create the readers’ awareness on how serious the issue is. By describing these numbers at the beginning of the text, the writer tries to draw the readers’ attention and to convince them to agree with other arguments the writer has made.
This could also foreshadow the books later events. The island setting is described in vivid terms. It is clearly a tropical paradise as Golding uses words such as “lagoon” and “reef”. Golding shows from the beginning that the island is exotic but threatening through a bird, “a vision of red and yellow, flashed upwards with a witch like cry.” The word “witch” emphasises to the reader that although this island has many beautiful attributes, it has a sense of fear and evil. In the early chapters, Jack faces the reality of killing the pig for food, however doesn’t go through with it.
Thesis: The director has contrasted and reinforced ideas about the theme of life and death, and father and son relationship through the unconventional use of sound effects, the use of particular settings, and the idea of violence. Audio: The sound of the waves contrasting with the theme of death. We assume like the other deaths in the movie that the idea of someone dying is very much scary and horrible, but the use of diegetic sound effects of the waves makes this segment very much angelic in a sense. Before his death, there is a moderate pause of any sound effects or dialogue, intended to shock the viewer with the sudden gunshot sounds, before the sound of waves resume after. Cinematography: There is a scene where he is looking out of the window at his son playing in the scenery of nature and the open space.
We can tell that the escape was not planned at all but the wit and intuition of the main character, which at this point in the movie is actually the viewer, is going to escape. Given that it is broad daylight in a remote area, it should make it impossible for anyone to escape a correctional institution without being recognized which gives the film sudden suspense within the first three minutes. Isolation of our particular individual is in inevitable due to being an escaped convict.the theme from. Good fortune is rare , anUnaware of the escape minutes prior to him driving by, a random citizen picks up our escapee and is willing to give him a ride to his desired
Golding uses many techniques to make this passage of Lord Of the Flies such a significant moment of the novel. The way the passage is presented and the language techniques he uses create atmosphere and make the passage exciting. During the passage Golding refers to a ‘leviathan’ in the lagoon. This a term used firstly in the Bible to describe a sea monster and therefore creates a fearsome image in our mind. The thought of a ‘leviathan’ in the lagoon would be especially scary for a young boy on a remote island far away from adults and home.
When out in the ocean, the only thing the men want is to catch a glimpse of the shore. However, the sheer brutality and power of the sea prevent this. Crane continues with his analysis of the ocean as a bleak expanse by saying, “The crest of each of these waves was a hill, from the top of which the men surveyed, for a moment, a broad tumultuous expanse, shining and wind-riven” (227). The mood in the boat
Being Hyde delighted him for he had full control to do whatever he wants. Since Hyde is evil, his intentions are pure evil too. His crime such as the murder of Sir Danver Carew proves that pure evil delights him. Another crime was he almost beat a girl to death. The intentions of Dr. Jekyll to be pure evil was his own idea.
An aural technique used to create a strongly negative mood in the scene of Eduard Delacroix’s execution was sound and music. Music was used in this scene to intensify the horror of the execution taking place. The soundtrack sounded like long low horn notes in combination with loud short boom-like notes to create tension and a sense of impending doom at the beginning of the execution as Paul
Response to Literary Critique of S.J. Boyd In my opinion S.J Boyd did a wonderful job criticizing the Lord of the Flies. I liked how he described the book on the fact that the boys are suffering a terrible disease of being a human. That is what I believe the Lord of the Flies is all about. Golding was trying to display that humans have a sickness hidden inside them.
Now we get so excited to see the next horror film, so we can feed our inner demons. Everyone loves to see someone else be in pain; to know someone's life is much worse than our own. King touches on the point that we are all mentally ill and everyone in some way is. Some people have to have everything perfect without going crazy, others talk to themselves, and they do these things without thinking twice about it. Then there are the people who love horror and thrills; furthermore, a mental thing.
