Johnson is not satisfied. "Now, then, smarter than that! As you were!" The men relax. He repeats the order.
June 18th, 1931 I just finished doing a walk with the old dog when I came into the bunkhouse and sat down on my bed. My gut had been hurting and I was just checking to see if any of the boys had a nip of whiskey to clear the ache up. Carlson came strollin’ in just like the big guy he always pretends to be and started complainin’ about how Gus smelled, sayin’ there’s no way he’d be able to sleep with Gus around cause he smelled like an animal that ain’t been washed for forever. That’s when he said it, and I couldn’t barely argue with him. I said I was sorry for how Gus smelled and that I’d try to fix it up, but that didn’t change nothin’.
Also by referring to the quote ‘Three walls there were small.. .’ and ‘against the walls were eight bunks’ this suggest that it’s very crowded and unhygienic. It also shows that all the ranch workers sleep in the bunkhouse. We also get a feeling that they try to make the place more homely by adding personal things in the apple box. We know this because it says ‘these shelves were loaded with little articles, soap and talcum powder, razor and those Western magazines ranch men love to read, scoff at
He screams, then to be shaken by four people, making him realize he is really in the tiny sleeping berths of a ship. The smell of dirt was from the ships crew moving a shipment of soil up on deck. He thought the worst of the situation, thinking he was buried alive, leading to his fear. 3.05 Fascination with Fear Part B The theme of “The Premature Burial” by Edgar Allan Poe is Man must ignore the darker possibilities of the world in order to survive. This theme compares to my experience with scoliosis.
It flashes from one scene to another; the first is of a young child called Miles, the scene is very dark and depressing. The camera angle is in front of Miles face. The director uses this angle so you are eye level with Miles, so you can see his facial expression clearly, so you immediately empathise with his situation. It shows Miles in his cot; calling for his mother. The child looks very upset and dirty, with tears in his eyes, he is also holding an empty bottle, as if he was hungry.
In the first few lines of the poem, the poet gives the deceased body emotion. As if he had been poured in tar, he lies on a pillow of turf and seems to weep the black river of himself. The word “weep” is emotionally strong and gives the emotion of extreme sorrow. He was poured into this bog which means he had no choice in the action. Because of that forced death, the Grauballe Man is weeping in the blackened tar as he lays in his sticky prison for years and years to come.
At one point they were young, fit men, and now they are worn and weak. Owen’s disgust for the state of the exhausted soldiers is effectively shown through his choice of description in this extract. The sheer exhaustion of the soldiers after war is strongly shown through Owen’s word choice. “Men marched asleep.” This portrays a zombielike physique, sluggishly moving slowly and heavily. Owen’s choice of words suggests how drained and weary the soldiers have become.
In the first line, "Bent double, like old beggars under sacks”, shows us that the troops are so tired that they look like old beggars, slouching from being so drowsy. Another smile the writer demonstrates is, "His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin," which I believe suggests that his face is bleeding and covered with red blood which represents the devils color. A strong metaphor that the writer uses is in line 24, “Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,” This emphasizes that these troops will never forget the traumatic experiences they endured while being at war. Through the use of Wilfred Owens language in this poem we can get drawn to the poem and have a sense of feeling of what is happening to these troops and have empathy towards them. The imagery which is used in this poem is also used to show the tone and theme.
And every time he did a trick, Everyone felt a little sick. And every time he told a joke, Folks sighed as if their hearts were broke. And every time he lost a shoe, Everyone looked awfully blue. And every time he stood on his head, Everyone screamed, "Go back to bed!" And every time he made a leap, Everybody fell asleep.
Good Night, Mister Tom is written in omniscient third person point of view. The main character is a thin young boy named William who is physically and emotionally abused by his violent mother. Everyone calls him Willie with the exception of Willie's friend Zacharias Wrench who chooses to call him 'Will' because he thinks it's more dignified. He is also friends with other village children:George an remember. He arrives at Mr Tom's house thinly clad, underfed and covered with painful bruises, and believing he is full of sin, as he has been brought up by a mother who regularly lashed him with a belt and was extremely religious, with strong opinions such as that people who copy go to hell when they die.
