He explains this using the strongly negative terms such as ‘clogging’, ‘stumbling’ and slithering’ to put a clear image in the readers of the great impacts they have on people. These selected words build up the readers’ sense of fear as they will associate pigeons with danger and that would lead them to go against these ‘pests’ and agree on the writer have to say. Bonella asserts the way to reduce the population of the pigeon. He uses an expert opinion from Daniel Haag-Wackernagel, a famous Swiss biologist who says that the pigeons
This coolness forces the audience to feel sympathy towards those subject to warfare. This backs up Dawes ideas in weapons training that war makes people less sensitive, demonstrated by the sexist and racist attitudes shown, for example ‘turning the key in the ignition’ which suggests he thought of women as merely ‘devices’ and ‘Charlies are coming at you you cn smell their rotten fish sauce breath hot on the back’ which displays a strong hatred and disgust towards the enemy.which is commercial television at the beg Dawes has written the poem in subtle mocking tone by using over-enthusiastic words such as ‘roaring empyrean’, ‘shrapnelled with rapture’, ‘passion’ and ‘hope of
The Bracelet-Japanese Internment Numerous stories and poems have different views of America. “The Bracelet” by Yoshiko Uchida, “I, Too” by Langston Hughes, and “Chinese Hot Pot” by Wing Tuk Lum all show America from various perspectives. In “The Bracelet” the author shows America in as a negative place. It shows how cruel America can be once we become apprehensive about something. The narrator, Ruri, is frightened throughout the story and it shows that through the tone of the story.
“The Plastic Pink Flamingo: A Natural History”; the essay’s title alone exposes Price’s overall flippant tone on the subject. Her persuasive piece unfolds the ridiculousness of American consumerism using the example of the flamingo’s rise in the 1950’s. Price aims her writing right at those consumers that continue to purchase unnecessary things. The second paragraph kicks off with an ironic statement, establishing Price’s first tone shift. With her first paragraph being an informative persona, the second paragraph shows her true feelings.

Evaluating a critic Title: “Wingless Chickens”: “Good Country People” and the Seduction of Nihilism [Rejection of values and beliefs] By: Henry T. Edmondson III The author of this article sees O’Connor’s story, good country people, as an example of O’Connor’s fear of the treats of nihilism in society as well as a story of moral examples, Edmonson states, “Good Country People also teaches that a belief in nihilism is something less than a clear, rational choice; it is more likely an example of seduction.”(pg 72) According to his article he portrays joy-hulga (the main character) as someone who wants to be a nihilist and is playing with fire. “It is as if Hulga’s persistent flirtation with nihilism, by word and behavior has conjured up the spirit of nihilism itself and it has come to claim its own.” (Edmonson, pg 64). “Compared with Manley pointer, hulga is a dilettante in nihilism, an amateur in ‘nothingness.’”(pg 66. Edmondson). He sees manley pointer as being the actual nihilist and joy-hulga as an person still trying to develop a personality.
EED202K Assignment 1 Question 1: To Kill a Mockingbird In the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, one of the main themes which is explored is that of people’s prejudice and judgement of other people who are different to themselves, namely in the way of racism. This is made clear by looking at what Mr Dolphus Raymond says to Dill in chapter 20 of the book. He says “Cry about the simple hell which people give other people – without even thinking.” This part of the statement is quite clearly about people having preconceived prejudices of other people and judging them because of this and because they are different to themselves. It also incorporates the fact that people don’t bother consider why they are different or that a difference is not necessarily
How does Harper Lee use minor characters in To Kill A Mockingbird to explore some of the main concerns of the novel? 1) Harper Lee used Dolphous Raymond to explain how racism was at the time.

Duck season is now approaching, and to anti-shooting advocates like Laurie Levy it is seen as a time to raise awareness of the “cruelty inflicted on waterbirds”. Levy’s article “in the firing line”, didactically confronts readers that the Government should place a ban on recreational shooting in order to introduce nature-based tourism. However, this day to others such as Bill Patterson (In the firing line, FOR article) and the blog writer Horrace from ‘duckvill’ Victoria, who as “frustrated enthusiasts” share similar views, duck shooting is perceived as a sensible “legacy” in which protestors have destroyed by “confusing animal rights with conservation”. Patterson’s indignant remarks suggest that a loss of this program would be a loss to
In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, the author, Harper Lee has used symbolism with emotive language, frequent use and symbolising people to help the reader understand the timeless idea of how infested with prejudice people and societies can be. The word ‘sin’ is used in “it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird,” rather than a word like ‘wrong’ because of the strong negative connotations associated with it. These make the reader understand how unforgivable it is to ‘kill a mockingbird’ which is a symbol representing innocent people that are harmed undeservedly. Using a powerful word such as ‘sin’ conveys the extent of the evil shown by those who ‘kill mockingbirds’ with prejudice. An example of this are the rumours circulating around the “tired, old town” of Maycomb about the recluse ‘Boo’ Radley.
