“The Rattler” “The Rattler” is a seemingly honest passage. It details the relationship between man and nature. The author applied excellent detail, diction, point of view, and syntax to articulate emotions of hostility between the two individuals. “The Rattler” depicts man torn for his respect of the rattlesnake and the love and fear that he has for his fellow people who were unaware of the potentially harmful visitor. The tones of this piece reflect the man’s remorseful and protective qualities of fulfilling his duties.
Through descriptions of the chivalrous snake, the conflicted man and the twilit setting, the author creates sympathy for the rattler and feelings of anger, pity, and disappointment for the man. When the author describes the
He explains that killing a lobster for our own pleasure is not right; it is unethical. Also, he argues that it is definitely unethical to put a lobster in boiling water because we do not know if lobsters feel pain or not. Throughout the article he suggest that lobster might be actually experiencing some kind of pain when put in boiling water. He aims to prove to readers that killing lobster by putting them into boiling water is unethical, and is not right just to fulfill our gustatory pleasure. In middle of his text, he shows many ways lobster is cruelly killed and why this is not right to do.
The poisons will kill fish and the reef in which the fish live because there is no precise way to deliver it. The fishermen will dump the poison on the water in a likely spot and catch what floats up. The problem with poison is that it does not choose what it kills, so it kills reefs and poisons the area for new generations, then the fishermen go on to another area to repeat the destruction. [ (Coral Reef Destruction and Coversation) ] 2. Red is the endangered areas In image 2, the most endangered reefs are in areas that are considered “Third World”, where populations have limited access to education.
Throughout the play he is constantly being referred to as a “toad”, “bloody dog” and a “boar” and this explores his “foul” nature and his lack of humanity. This recurring animal imagery serves to raise the question of whether a person can become so corrupted with evil that they cease to be truly human. This is true in ‘Richard III’ but it changes with the context for ‘Looking for Richard’. Despite the fact that Pacino himself apparently agrees with Shakespeare when he says that Richard “does not have his own humanity, that he’s lost it”, we as an audience, are brought to a place where we feel a very human sympathy towards Richard who is isolated and confused. This is conveyed by the facial expressions of regret which is emphasised by the close up camera on Kevin Spacey’s face.
The dramatic choices of words such as, “drooped, mildewed, pulpy, and molded,” embellish the description of the setting. The poem is written so dreadfully that the readers may even feel reluctant to imagine. For instance, the line five in the poem, “hung down long yellow evil necks, like tropical snakes,” insinuates that living in a hell may be a better place to live than in a root cellar. Although there are ones who have failed to grow out from the horrid condition and face the reality of death, the two lines in the end of the poem concludes, “Nothing would give up life: even the dirt kept breathing a small breathe,” eliminating the existence of the word abdication. Therefore, the targeted or intended audience of this poem may be pessimistic individuals who have willingness to abandon their goal, future, and dream from the temporary dark that they
After he’s done praising the festival, Wallace reveals that his main intention of writing the essay was to question if killing animals is morally acceptable. He explains that Lobsters have nociceptors, invertebrate versions of the prostaglandins and major neurotransmitters that enable human beings to record pain. Lobsters, however, do not appear to be able to absorb natural opioids like endorphins and enkephalins which are what advanced nervous systems use to deal with pain. Wallace examines this information about lobsters and recognizes that lobster either suffer more than a human would because they can’t control pain as well as humans can or they simply can’t comprehend the idea of pain. Wallace sympathizes that if lobsters can’t control their pain, then humans are unnecessarily boiling and eating them, as a result, putting them through immense suffering that humans wouldn’t want to experience themselves.
One of the main ideas Shakespeare tried to pursue was betrayal. “Look like the innocent flower /But be the serpent under it.” (Macbeth I, IV, 65-66) This quote can be used to describe the role of the characters in this play. Deceiving means to cause to believe what is not true; mislead. The Witches, Lady Macbeth, and Macbeth, play a big part with misleading others throughout the play. When Shakespeare wrote the play Macbeth he showed that being dishonest and misleading will bring you nothing in life but
Cather’s characterisation, with effective use of binary oppositions, a male narrative voice and critique of conventional gender/norms and roles allows this lesbian narrative space to be drawn out from the main text. Jim’s killing of the snake can perhaps be viewed as a way to confuse boundaries. The snake can represent a phallic symbol, which suggests that Jim’s decision to kill it emphasises a rejection of masculinity and
Some believe animals are an unintelligent species and are just savage creature trying to live in this world. In the essay written by Bass, he describes how the hunters and the animals imagine their prey’s movements. This is giving animals the intelligence to think and react to another animal’s movements. This means Bass believes animals are creatures with the ability to think. In the essay “Am I Blue?” Walker talks about how the horse is “like a crazed person.” This happened because the two horses on a farm were separated after bonding.
