Elizabeth Salinsky Professor Blazer ENC 1101 71 October 16, 2013 “When They Get Out” Rhetorical Analysis Sasha Abramsky is all about the future and what is in store for the country when inmates are released. He puts his opinions into works in his 1999 article, “When They Get Out.” The way that he makes his point may come across as bias. Abramsky believes that punishing the inmates by putting them in very unpleasant conditions could be making them worse for when they get out. Abramsky is very opinionated in his article and fails to look into any side other than his own. Writing information that touches the reader emotionally, it feels as if Abramsky is trying to make the reader feel bad for the prisoners.
This conveys the importance of the Inspector and how he may be seen as intimidating for the characters. The Inspector makes a large, immediate impression on the audience before he even speaks. The reader witnesses throughout Act One where the stage directions describe how the Inspector's appearance and how he addresses each charcacter in a certain way. "He is a man in his fifties,dressed in a plain darkish suit of the period. He speaks carefully, weightily, and has a disconcerting habbit of looking hard at the person he adresses before actually speaking" This continues the idea of how the Inspector has a large affect on people and shows how he is going to interogate each family member later on in the play.
Ethan, while he is flawed, is also a victim of circumstance The tiny town of Starkfield, Massachusetts, formed the backdrop for Edith Wharton’s novel Ethan Frome, an intense novel that moves the ill-starred trio of main characters towards their tragic destinies. Of the main characters, the eponymous Ethan Frome is flawed, both physically and in lack of ability to communicate with everybody. Undoubtedly, however, misfortune and circumstance riddled Ethan’s world: crushing his dreams of becoming an engineer and restricting him to a life in Starkfield. Described through the eyes of the omniscient narrator, Ethan was a man whose “lameness checked each step like a jerk of a chain” and who seldom interacted with the townspeople. Highlighted within the opening two pages, Ethan’s flaws (both physical and of character) made him quite a distinguishable character in Starkfield and whilst everyone “gave him a greeting,” his taciturnity was respected and it was only on “rare occasions” that anyone ever stopped him for a word.
Because of the close confinement of the setting, emotions are high between the guards and the prisoners who are demanding political status. The viewer is encouraged to see this tension through the extreme close ups taken of the characters faces. Such close ups are confronting as we cannot step back and distance ourselves from the rage or anguish the character is expressing. As a viewer of this film, we begin to understand that in normal society, people can walk away or avoid conflict, but in the Maze Prison people are forced to confront the opposing views of others. This often results in anger and violence.
Through the opening sequence of the film we see the conflict growing in the courtroom between Nader and Simin, what should be a small and easy divorce process is heightened in the courtroom. This confined and enclosed courtroom with masses of people passing in and out could make anyone emotions heightened. For Nader and Simin the courtroom magnifies their conflict, they yell at one another and at the judge, the battle is fought harder in this environment. Similarly we see unfamiliar environments creating conflict
That would explain how he never does any work throughout the movie, his outbursts of anger go relatively unnoticed, his own identity is consistently mistaken, and he gets away with all the murders (because they only happened in his head). The “movie watcher” reaction to this would probably use an older, more general term to diagnose Batemen as simply a socio-path. This
Ironically Anna philosophically proclaims that “things just happenâ€, however she goes against her statement, with her wishes to abort. Andy surrounded by death and suffering everywhere, being a journalist, has become unable to connect with others or feel sympathy. This is evident with the many images placed in his home of death and suffering such as the image of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Andy constantly is unable to find fault in himself and asks others “what is wrong with (them)?†,showing that he always feels that he is in the right and things are
In Notes from Underground, the narrator shows emotion from the beginning of the story. He begins by telling the readers “I’m… a mean man” (84). By describing himself as a mean man lets the reader know that he is capable of showing emotion. However, the emotion he portrays throughout the novella is always anger at the world because he never felt loved by anyone. The only way he can demonstrate his feelings is by being angry at the world and mean.
That moment he realized he was not completely immune from common courtesy, he realized there were people out there who had it worse. I don’t agree with actions of the author in his article The Catbird Seat. The article shows a very biased outlook, only focusing on things he could get away with due to his handicap. The story says nothing about the down sides of being paralyzed. The author’s tone
Milkman Dead, so little can be said about such a useless, arrogant and ignorant man. This is what can be thought of Milkman in the beginning of the novel Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison. This novel was to depict a man that has struggled to find himself and his own personal freedom throughout his life. Milkman tries to find himself in an emotionless relationship with his second cousin and other woman. Milkman is a vile man that is simply confused.
