“…Did they really believe that this war would end wars…it all happened again, and again, and again,” this use of rhetorical question and repetition emphasises the anti-war sentiment that both Bogle and Dawe capture. Similarly in Homecoming, it is illustrated the dehumanisation of war. “…mortuary coolness…deep-freeze…sorrowful…frozen sunset…wintering tree…bitter…grief…”through an extended metaphor, it is suggested the implications on the society from the death of thousands of loved ones; the coldness is symbolising the death, grief and struggling of society and the individual. Dehumanising effects give poets their anti-war point of view the effectively portray the bonds between the society and the
Anyhow, the way a society runs can lead to create disorder in the world. In the texts Lizzie Bright and The Buckminster Boy by Gary Schmidt and The Outsiders by S.E Hinton both authors deal with the main idea surrounding societies that demonstrates that a well ordered society is not important to a smooth running world because it causes violence, discrimination, and inequality. Having a well ordered society creates acts of violence. In a well ordered society there is a government that designates laws to maintain peace, rules include acts of violence. Violence in a well ordered society is a rule that is often times broken.
Comparison Essay: Prompt A In the movie Starwars and in the play Antigone, the main characters of each have to face difficult moral decisions, which have major consequences. Both characters have great motives, which cause them to make the decisions that they do in their dilemmas. Antigone’s problem derived from her brother Polynices, who was proclaimed a traitor after he waged war against the state to try to get back control of the throne from his brother Eteocles. Eteocles, the previous ruler of the state, was given an honorable burial while Polynices was left to rot outside the kingdom’s walls. Antigone, who was a very strong willed Greek woman, and who valued loyalty to family, was then left with the dilemma of whether or not to bury her dead brother Polynices, because if she got caught burying hum, then she would be sent to death.
Moreover, the different mediums enable the audience to explore the performative nature of identity and the individualistic nature of ambition and how the different contexts respond to and portray this. Ambition and identity in Richard the Third are overwhelmingly portrayed in a negative light, ultimately resulting in dire consequences; in an Elizabethan context individualism and ambition reflected a person striving to grasp what was not due to them - ultimately, opposing God’s will. Richard, in the play, is represented as both villain and protagonist. We are made aware of Richards duplicitous nature and his evil aspirations as early as Act 1 Scene 1 where he states “I am determinèd to prove a villain” a self referential (and metadramatic in nature) pun which brings about questions of determinism and free will, themes that are explored throughout the play; there is ambiguity around whether or not Richard actually has autonomy over his nefarious deeds, which he goes about plotting. In keeping with his Elizabethan context, Shakespeare can not be seen to oppose the chain of being, the hierarchical chain of the period where a king was at the top,
Throughout is powerful speech he uses emotional appeals and rhetorical questions to get his ideas across. Henry uses emotional appeal by expressing how much the colonists have been hurt and wronged by the British government. Simply by expressing how much Britain has placed soldiers and naval fleets around the colonies makes there a perception that Britain does not trust the colonies and must guard them like a prison not giving them any rights. Also, by asking rhetorical questions about simple human rights and freedom he puts the listeners into a mindset that they have been wronged. He does not always say exactly what Britain has done but rather mentions their government and then asks a rhetorical question about the man’s freedom.
As the Cold War continued, the American public grew discontent with the handling of the disputes . They grew restless of the ongoing conflict and the injustices that were being committed by the American military towards these countries and the abuse that our American troops were experiencing at home. The Civil Rights movement again saw this as an opportunity to insert their agenda along with other injustices into the national picture. With the sentiment swaying against the established institution it was easier to gain public support for civil rights. The Cold War was fought to end the oppression and maltreatment of other countries citizens.
Numerous controversial ideas have played profound stepping stones in societies climb to try and create the perfect society. The vision of a perfect world through self sacrifice was exploited by the government in the novels 1984, by George Orwell and Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury. These books portray the atmosphere of that perfect world through government control. In each novel a single character is outcaste because of his refusal to conform. This refusal leads the characters to an ultimate conflict with an individual closely related to the government.
Jewel’s Love Throughout all of As I Lay Dying, we see Jewel as the Bundren with apparently the most violent nature. He was constantly arguing and disagreeing with the other members of the family as they made the journey to Jefferson to bury his mother Addie. It wasn’t until the end of the trip that you really take a look in-depth at what kind of impact Jewel had on his family. We really start to notice through his random acts of courage and kindness that he is a valued member of the Bundren family. It proves that Jewel had only the best intentions and did everything in the best interest for the family.
If my deep pray’rs cannot appease thee, but thou wilt be avenged on my misdeeds, yet execute thy wrath in me alone. O, spare my guiltless wife and my poor children! Keeper, I prithee sit by me awhile. My soul is heavy, and I fain would sleep.” So the murderers arrive and one becomes remorseful and wants to spare Clarence life just as Richard said but the first murderer does his duties that Richard assign. Giving Richard exactly what he wants the open path to the seat of
In this quote, Chillingworth is comparing a black weed growing from a dead sinners heart to the sin he thinks Dimmesdale has committed, and is trying to make him confess. Later on, Chillingworth cannot handle waiting for the truth any longer, in attempt to find out why minister Dimmesdale places his hand over his heart, Chillingworth “advanced directly in front of his patient (Dimmesdale), laid his hand upon his bosom, and thrust aside the vestment, that, hither-to had always covered it even from the professional eye.” (158). There he saw the mark in the shape of an A that Dimmesdale had given himself. In response to this was elated, “Had a man seen old Roger Chillingworth, at that moment of his ecstasy, he would have had no need to ask how Satan comports himself, when a precious human soul is lost to Heaven, and won into his kingdom.” (152). This quote shows that Chillingworth, in that moment, is the devil in human form.
