For example, Armitage has given multiplemeanings to many of his words. This can be seen in the poem where it says, Imholding out. This suggests that the beggar is holding out his hands for spare change.This quote also suggests that hes got no choice and that he hand been waiting for along time.On the contrary, Armitage has also used a variety of techniques such as similes andmetaphors in The Clown Punk. In the poem it states, still daubed with the sadtattoos of high punk. The use of the adjective sad suggests that he is trapped in anuncomfortable nature.
These symbols throughout the story include the old mans eye, the heartbeat and the contradiction between love and hate in which I will be talking about in this paper. When reading Edgar Allan Poe’s, “The Tell-Tale Heart”, it is more easily understood as a figurative text rather than a literal text. A literal reading of this story would make it very difficult to understand the details. By taking this story literally it is not easy to understand the entire meaning and representation of the story. In the beginning of the story, the narrator describes the old man’s eye.
Some people, like Simon, understand this concept and he says: ‘Maybe there is a beast... maybe it’s only us.’ Other people, like Ralph, do not want to believe that there is a dark side to humanity and in Chapter 2 he constantly shouts: ‘but there isn’t a beast!’ Golding successfully gets across his message that there’s ‘darkness in man’s heart’ by the frightening way he describes several events in the book. The killing of the mother sow is an extremely shocking event in the novel. When it describes that ‘the great bladder of her belly was fringed with a row of piglets’ it shows how savage the boys have become and how much they have changed, especially Jack, because at the beginning of the novel he had difficulty killing the piglet because of ‘the enormity of the knife descending and cutting in to living flesh’ and now ‘practice had made Jack silent as the shadows.’ The quote ‘wedded to her in lust’ shows us that they specifically want the female pig and won’t rest until they have her. The scene is extremely graphic and the notion of what they are doing is terrifying. The fact that the pig went from being ‘in maternal bliss’ to ‘dim-eyed and grinning faintly’ is also terrifying, because they took something innocent and turned it into something wicked, which is essentially what happened to them.
His language proves him to be insecure, angry, rebellious and skeptical of the world around him. When Holden swore for the first time in the book and said “crap”(1) on the first page, I am sure many of you instantly felt an affinity with him, or thought ‘what a guy’. -Holden imagines himself as a hero but he does so by getting words wrong. When listening to Robert Burn’s Comin’ Thro’ The Rye Holden mishears a part of the poem that says “Gin a body meet a body/ comin’ through the rye” and instead thinks that it says “Gin a body catch a body/ comin’ through the rye”. Around this mistake and misinterpretation he creates a fantasy in which he imagines himself saving the children of the world by catching them before they fall off the cliff that is the transition from childhood to adulthood.
Ralph represents the goodness left on the island, while Jacks worst got the best of him. He then becomes very violent “He's like Piggy. He says things like Piggy. He isn't a proper chief.”(Gift for the Darkness, p.138) Jack challenges Ralph whom he calls a coward; Ralph had insulted Jack's hunters as "boys with sticks”. He wants to turn everyone against Ralph so they join his tribe and become hunters leaving Jack in charge and chief of the island.
Also it contains excess word to express the meaning of the word. The ideas and thought of this poem are disorganizing. APT is about humanity´s hatred upon other people, and every sentence has whole meaning. Second is about rhyme, meter, scheme etc…ATP rhymes perfectly throughout, and each stanza has central purpose. For ATP, in the first couplet, the speaker is angry at his friend; in the second, at his foe.
Discuss the main characters in animal farm and contribute to the main themes In this essay I am going to discuss how the main characters in animal farm, George Orwell, contribute to the main themes, such as how they contribute to utopia, power and hierarchy. Farmer jones is only in the begging of the book/film farmer jones is a tyrant man who doesn’t really care about his animals and he has lots of power because he makes sure that the animals are scared of him by whipping them and treating them badly. He has a kind of utopia of basically drinking and staying in his bed and being lazy. In the end he gets chased out by the animals. Old major had lots of power because he was the oldest, wisest and the prize boar.
Later on in the poem, when Tim the ostler enters the scene, the mood changes dramatically to questioning and menacing. At first he gets described as an ugly misfit. The poet says, “His eyes were hollows of madness, his hair like mouldy hay.” after that, it becomes quite confusing because you are not sure what part he plays in the poem. This makes the mood curious and questioning, this helps to build the tension. When the highwayman and Bess begin talking and when they kiss the mood becomes very romantic.
W.H. Auden’s modern methods combined with his undoubtedly unique style make his poetry difficult to read and interpret. However, his eccentric use of words calls for the reader’s imagination to create images that help to understand the idea of Auden’s poems. Such can be seen in “Law Like Love” starting with the ironic nature of the title. Law as we know it is something set in stone clearly which, quite frankly, many people do not favor.
The poet, William Blake, through the poem “London” is able to express his intentions and message of the poem through the content, aim and the theme, ‘no escape’. He is able to create a dark atmosphere, due to how cynical his message was. He also uses particular words and sentences, emphasizing on the importance of diction. The diction of the poem helps to show the differences in the classes within the society and the hopelessness that has wash over the whole society. Throughout the whole poem, the readers are able to know his disapproval, dislike and displeasure over the place that he lives in, by creating a moody and sullen tone which enhances the eerily seriousness of the atmosphere.
