David Yun Mrs. Hamilton AP Lang and Comp, Period 1 October 14, 2013 1996 Gary Soto is a Mexican-American author and poet. Soto wrote a small passage, “1996”, describing a time when he was six years old and stole a pie, this passage reveals his inside thoughts, internal emotions, and his choice of actions during and after his minor pie theft. In the passage “1996”, Gary Soto’s representation of his guilt and how he copes with it is developed through his vivid imagery, fast pacing, and descriptive diction, showing that guilt is the prices to pay when greed overwhelms the person. In the first part of the passage Soto begins by stating, “[knows] enough about hell to stop stealing”. However this was not enough to stop his greed from overwhelming him.
Pip agrees to help Magwitch in his elope by bringing him food and a file from the forge. Stealing the file and the food produces agonies of guilt in Pip. Dickens describes this guilt by making the environment in which Pip has to run through dark, misty, shady and mysterious. In his words, “the mist was heavier yet when I got upon the marshes, so that instead of my running at everything, everything seemed to run at me. This was very disagreeable to a guilty mind”.
Angela Clark Shakespeare 2120-10 10/14/14 Journal 2 If you’re a parent of yours cooked a neighbor’s child in a pie or perhaps killed one of your siblings, you would at the very least consider this to be unacceptable, morally and legally wrong, abnormal, and concede that perhaps your family may be slightly dysfunctional. (Hook) In Shakespeare’s tragedy, Titus Andronicus, Titus Andronicus went off of his rocker and did both of those things, and more. Titus Andronicus, who recently refused the throne, becomes caught up in a never-ending tale of violent revenge that centers on parents and their children. Eventually, the violence committed against another’s child in retaliation for the violence committed against your own leads to your act of violence against your own children. (Discussion) While possibly more understandable by the standards in place in the age of Titus Andronicus, there are many acts of parenting in this play that are questionable by today’s standards.
The puzzlement arises from intentionally turning out a fermented potato peel and leaving it in a grass patch, in a place of green nature, in a place of “green shadows of elm, and ginkgo and lime” (12) trees. It is puzzling because why would one throw a decaying fragment amidst blooming beauty? Such is the state of the present where man intentionally destructs and obstructs nature’s way of life. The onomatopoeic adjective and verb “buzzing” (10) is used to depict the common people at the current time. First of all, the sound of the word and its corresponding sound in reality are both unpleasant and annoying and therefore the poet is portraying the common man, or humanity in general, as an irritating source of noise.
The class workshop and I performed and explored one of the scenes in the removalists which portrayed Fiona and Kenny fighting each other verbally. The scene starts off with Fiona doing the ironing and suddenly Kenny walks in and asks Fiona to make some dinner for him, she tells him no and he increasingly gets angrier at her. The class explored this scene by acting it out by having a comedy side to it which gave Kenny a witty side to his slouchy Australian self; this part of the scene represents a typical Australian male in society back in the 60s, funny but can be violent and harmful within his
Adem Hussen Reading Journal 5 ESL 262 I. RESPONSE Chapter 10They always cut off the edges of the tortillas they ate to throw them to the chickens. They crumbled the crusts from the hard rolls, too, for the same purpose. Rosaura and Tita stared unblinkingly at each other, and their eyes were still locked when Rosaura opened the discussion. "I think you and I are overdue for a talk, don't you agree?”Yes, I certainly do.
This shows that when a once huge symbolism of power loses its significance, mayhem takes place. Ralph, Piggy, and Samneric march over to Castle Rock with the conch to try and get Piggy’s glasses back, and maybe restore some peace. Ralph calls an assembly with the conch and no one listens to him. Ralph and Jack get into a brawl and Jack nearly stabs Ralph with a spear. Jack orders his tribe to grab Samneric and tie them up.
Circe had invited Odyseeus’s crew into her home, she filled their bowls with a wonderful stew but “Once they’d drained the bowls she filled, suddenly she struck with her wand, drove them into her pigsties, all of them bristling into swine” (Homer 237, 261-263). This shows that Circe was more worried about playing scrabble with men and turning them into animals than respecting the code of hospitality. Even when she offers hospitality in the end, she still has the motive of playing scrabble with Odysseus, and just wants that from him. Calypso is the next to be inhospitable when she keeps Odysseus against his will in her home, even when he wants to go home. This is evidenced by the fact that he was “weeping there as always, wrenching his heart with sobs and groans and anguish, gazing out over the barren sea through blinding tears”
When dealing with challenges, adapting into the environment is significantly important in order for us to survive. “Like I said, I’ve eaten worse” Tomas popped the grub into his mouth without any fear while other boys rejected it in disgust. This demonstrates Tomas has gone through difficulties in his life which made him stronger and adapted to the wild environment. Being like a villain at the beginning of the story, Tomas is known as a bully who gets Josef into troubles many times. Our attitude toward Tomas begins to change during the storm at the marsupial farm.
He continues by saying “We pigs are brain workers, the organization of the farm totally depends on us” (Orwell 42). Here Squealer puts the sake of the whole farm (and Animalism) on the pigs consuming the apples & milk. He uses the fear of Jones coming back to end the conversation. Squealer also uses guilt as a way to persuade the animals. When the other animals discover that the pigs have changed their residence to the farmhouse.
