The chirping then stops as a close-up of Melanie is shot before cutting to a single bird in the fireplace. This gives us a sign that the birds are about to attack once again. Silence is then used effectively to create suspense to the viewers. When the birds came streaming down the chimney, there is no dialogue exchanged except for Mitch’s command “Cover your faces! Cover your eyes!” All we hear throughout Mitch’s command is the flapping of wings, the screeching of birds and Mitch fighting them off.

I ain’t been doin nothin-just playin”, he told her sullenly” Pg (43), he is trying to forestall his uncle from finding out what he has been doing up in the attic.
The wide shot at the bus shelter highlighting the distance between Amanda and Richard, further symbolises Richard’s distance and dejection from society.Consequently, Richard is tasked with the struggle of developing a relationship between himself and someone society views as being on the other side of the social spectrum. Richard portrays an immense will to belong when, even though he is marginalised, he encourages Amanda and breaks down the barrier through forced and humorous conversation. Richards repetitive badgering of Amanda to contribute when he says “your turn” conveys a persistent dialogue and a tone riddled with an underlying sense of desperation, challenging cultural assumptions which breed rejection and marginalisation. He further attempts to relieve the boundary created by cultural bias through humour in his intertextual allusions to Shakespeare and pop culture literature . Irony is also evident as he is viewed by society as mentally handicapped as a result of his illness, however is able to recite famous pieces of
When the egg industry doesn't seem productive enough for penny-pinching Mrs Tweedy, she decides that chicken pies are a better business endeavor, considering how plump most of the chickens are. With each attempted escape, Ginger earns solitary confinement in the coal bin, and when a chicken is axed for not producing enough eggs, Ginger is distraught. But when she spies Rocky, a cocky American rooster, flying through the air, she hatches an idea. Rocky literally falls into the flock of antsy hens, and believing he can fly, Ginger convinces him to teach her and the others to fly so they can finally escape. Rocky outwardly agrees, but hopes to make his escape as soon as possible, as it is soon revealed that Rocky is actually a circus performer, and his "flying" was more like falling in convenient grace.
This suspense is tension, which is the aim of miller at this particular point in the story. In the scene after the monologue when the “family” are talking about oranges and lemons Rodolfo corrects Eddie and the stage directions say that Eddie “resents his instruction” and Eddie comes out with an outburst of “I know lemons are green, for Christ’s sake!” This tension is a surprise, designed by Miller to shock you. Beatrice has to “divert” their attention by talking to Marco about his wife. Later Rodolfo says that it is stricter in his town and yet again Eddie doesn’t like being corrected by Rodolfo and has to get up and pace to calm himself down. This makes the audience tense because by making himself taller than Rodolfo, he is therefore more masculine and is stronger so he could get violent while he is stood up.
That done, they bound my hands and feet, as I stood upright on the mast box; and they tied the ropes hard fast round the mast.” (Homer 242) In order to keep his crew from succumbing to the music of the Sirens, Odysseus chops up and shapes pieces of beeswax to put in the ears of his crewmen, so that they cannot hear the music.

Those three were quick to find

In Poe’s “The Black Cat,” the narrator vacillates between remorse and uncaring in regards to his atrocities. He suppresses his guilt several times, and this suppression is manifested in his entombment of his wife within the walls of his basement. However, in the final paragraph of the story, the cat reveals his atrocity. It seems that a similar suppression is occurring in Melville’s Benito Cereno as well. Delano vacillates between seeing the situation on the ship for what it really is and suppressing his suspicion.
