251-260) When Nausicaa sees him again, she begins to admire him. As a result, she gives Odysseus directions to the palace and advice on how to approach the queen of the Phaeacians when he meets her. The deception involved in this scene, Odysseus’ divine makeover and smooth conversation makes him more attractive. To ensure his success, he has to use deception because he doesn’t know if the islanders are friends or foes. He has had bad luck with islands.
The coronation of Poppea was made up of 12 scenes divided in to two acts that tell us the romantic but painful love story of royal family. The opera described the atrocious emperor who killed his teacher and abolished the empress only to marry Poppea. The opera ended up with happiness, which eulogized the power of love which can fight against everything. This very first amazing work in opera was composed by Monteverdi and plays a significant role in operatic literature history opening the era of baroque music. The prologue itself was very funny.
These words demonstrate the power of language and persuasion. Shakespeare uses the power of language and persuasion in his play, ‘Othello’ when the character of Othello is put in front of the duke and accused of witchery. Shakespeare uses the power of language and persuasion in Act 1 Scene 3 when Othello speaks, “Her father lov’d me…This only is the witchcraft I have us’d.” Shakespeare uses monologue to have Othello persuade the duke and council of his innocence. Othello uses the power of language and persuasion to persuade the court that it was Barbantio’s fault that he fell in love with Desdemona. His words in the monologue convince the court that he did not use witchery to get Desdemona to marry him.
The play is set on the wealthy English estate of Sidley Park in two time periods, 1809 and 1993, in the same room allowing the audience to explore the nature of truth in relevance to its time. A common focus throughout these two time periods is the disruptive influence of sex and love on the predictability of the universe. Stoppard challenges and supports traditional expectations of love through three main characters who each interpret love and sex differently to suite lifestyle choices. Thomasina is a typical thirteen year old, except that she is unusually privileged with both educational opportunities and the mind of a genius. She is not only driven by her quest for mathematical and literary knowledge, she is also interested in sexuality and relationships.
Film Assignment: “The Secret Life of Bees” On the scale of 1-10, 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, I would give this movie a rating of 8.5. This movie deserves this particular score because it manages to catch the audience’s attention and put them into the lives of the characters. Both the good and bad times. One of the two scenes that were well done was the scene when T. Ray came to the Boatwright house and lily opened the door and let him in. I feel like this scene was well done because highlights the maturity of lily by letting T. Ray and being able to stand up and speak for herself.
Great rewards and opportunities also come about while going through the process of growth and development. This is significantly demonstrated in the texts ‘Educating Rita’ by Willy Russell, ‘An Education’ by Nick Hornby and the poem ‘The Door’ by Miroslav Holub. Rita, the street-wise, fast-talking, main character of Educating Rita, embarks on an Open University course because she wants more out of her life. She is discontented- “out of step” with her husband, family and friends- and wants to learn “everything”, hoping that an education will allow her to move into a different world, one where she has some “choice” about the direction of her life. This links to the film ‘An Education’ where David is describing Jenny, “Isn’t it wonderful to find someone who wants to find out new things”.
Sarah Draper Mrs. Jennings AP English 12 5th period B Shiloh In Bobbie Mason’s short story, “Shiloh” he uses many techniques in order to convey his overall message. Mason uses of similes and metaphors, symbolism and parallelism to help reveal the once happily marrage flaws and now being unhappy. Throughout the shot shory, not only does the author expose the reader to the feelings and actions of the characters but also in the authors eye he high lights the thing needed in order to make a happy marriage. Mason’s creative use of similes and metophors allows the reader to fully understand how the long distances and time can have a negative afect on a persons marriage. In lines 13-15 the rig that Leroy used to drive was compared
A Reality Check With the use of symbolism, Aldous Huxley creates a beautiful novel that in essence warns his audience of the future. Huxley’s clever use of symbols in the Brave New World, is often apparent, but just as often, they are deeper and less apparent. With his satirical references to sex, drugs, technology and the naming of his characters, Huxley relates his novel back to his readers and their future. Without recognizing these symbols, the readers could find this novel confusing and ridiculous; but with each symbolic object and person comes a clearer picture of what Huxley us really trying to convey. When reading the Brave New World, the sexual references are often the first things that stand out to the audience.
The song “don’t want you back” by Backstreet Boys and the poem “a snowflake falls” by Ruth Adams are powerful examples of the amount of impact discoveries have on the characters . All these texts show that the discoveries that have a life changing impact on us turn out to be the most important discoveries we make. Significant discoveries are a slow realisation process that change the way we perceive ourselves and our relationships. Initially in the short story “Big World” the adolescent narrator is hoping to discover excitement, girls and escape from his boring life. But during the journey he is forced to confront uncomfortable truths about himself and his relationship with Biggie which was initiated by “a single decisive act or violence that joined me to Biggie forever” but the
William Shakespear is a wonderful writer that uses different methods to get his message across in a creative and interesting way. In the play “Romeo and Juliet” he uses the different categories of the English language to bring to the audience attention that Romeo and Juliet are “star-crossed” and fate brings them together. Inevitability of fate would be one of the main themes of the play. Romeo and Juliet’s love for one another brings them closer together but the fight between their two sides would lead to the death of these two lovers. William Shakespear often us motifs to paint a picture of what’s going on in the story.
