The story is told through Emma's perspective as she takes on the role of omniscient narrator and guides the reader by her occasional intrusive statements and authorial comments and her self-deception generates amusement and sympathy rather than laughter. From the beginning she establishes an analytical slightly moralizing tone, “The real evils indeed on Emma’s situation were the power of having rather too much of her own way, and a disposition to think to well of herself.” The Opening
Week 2 Assignment Alina Nazar St. Augustine trusted that "confidence must go before reason and purge the heart and make it fit to get and bear the immense light of reason." He may have trusted that the daily paper editorialist ought not to leave the first daily paper chain on the grounds that she marked an agreement with them. Breaking the agreement is not so much the correct thing to do. She must be reliable to the first organization in light of the fact that that started things out, and confidence precedes reason. Aquinas may have trusted uniquely in contrast to Augustine for this situation.
Plagiarism Katrina, I understand your argument about this being common sense but I still have to argue that this is an act of plagiarism. You may have not intended to plagiarize and this act is called unintentional plagiarism. I do not want you to worry because it is better if you know now and learn as you are not the only one who has come across this issue. Plagiarism exists in two forms: intentional and unintentional. Plagiarism is done intentionally when someone copies someone else’s exact words and uses it in their own work without any quotations or citations and claims it to be their original work.
Dorine, the servant, whose sarcastic wit is a delight, and Elmire, Orgon’s wife, whose logical plan guides him out of the fog, both step into the role at different times. In an ironic twist toward the end of the play the author uses Orgon as a voice of reason to deal with Madame Pernelle’s obsessive belief in Tartuffe. The comedic interaction between these two characters within this scene again shines the spotlight onto the inability of obsession to hear reason. In Tartuffe, Moliere portrays the battle between obsession and reason, insanity and sanity, in a comedic but very truthful way. As the audience laughs and enjoys the wit of the lines, they can also acknowledge the truth of them: obsessed human beings are deaf to reason and will not be able to hear until the obsession
Once we calmed down, we were able to take out our disagreement and come to a consensus that we both were wrong. We were having a discussion about our children. Everyone knows that those types of discussions can either go good or bad very quickly. This one just so happen to do so. Normally, we would not argue about children, but the statement that was made by me was taken out of context.
I now see that his tone was in no way nonchalant or unfeeling, it was actually subtly powered by emotion. Words like “sympathetic” and “nonchalant” imply a narrow sorrow or slight caring, while “jocular” and “irate” imply very intense emotions of hilarity and anger respectively. “Sardonic”, which can be defined as “characterized by bitter or scornful derision; mocking; cynical”, means in this context that he found his mistress’ willingness to become ruthless as almost amusing, as though he knew she would change over eventually. Still, we see that this change in her behavior greatly hurt Douglass and so it is not without bitterness that he makes this statement. It is clear that his tone is more sardonic than anything else when addressing the change of his mistress.
In the hilarious essay "Shitty First Drafts," Anne Lamott defeats the myth of the beautiful first draft by explaining the sheer ugliness of the first draft. From the start, it is clear she is mindful of a prominently youthful, student-based audience. Lamott mixes her humor throughout the paper in little bits and pieces, which seemed to help convince the reader that everyone writes shitty first drafts. She writes it in a very informal tone, which really connects to the reader in this situation in a much better way than a formal tone would. Going along with this, she also 'lowers' herself and sees through the audiences perspective.
Emma and clueless – - Use of an omniscient narrator to allow reader to reassess their impressions of the characters. - Occasional intrusive comments by the use of irony (mr knightley’) - Over loud, face paced, non diegetic, over bright colours - Music establishes mood and highlights the emotional states of characters - Mr knightley provides correct evaluation of the characters’ behaviours and personal worth - Emma’s lack of perception and the pain she caused Harriet was the first stage of self-awareness relinquishing by Harriet of mr elton’s memorabilia and her confession that she loves mr knightley forced emma to realise she loved him - Emma needs to accept her personal faults and demonstrate social responsibility through her actions,
This revelation made by Austen hints at the future: though Emma appears to be consistently right, her opinions do not always have other’s best interests at heart. Mr. Knightley realizes this, and upon finding that Emma influenced Harriet to refuse the perfectly agreeable Mr. Martin, Emma explains her understandable reasoning: “She must abide by the evil of having refused him, whatever it may be; and as to the refusal itself,
In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen does not offer a harsh critique, but rather highlights the flaws in society in her opinion, using comparisons. Through these comparisons she states her opinion that the social norms of her time are not always correct. Her critique of the society isn’t biting because she points out the flaws according to her opinion and uses righteous examples to warrant her view. She uses examples of different marriages and personalities to persuade the reader of her viewpoint. From the first sentence in the book, ‘It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife’, it is known that the novel will be exploring the theme of marriage.
