Education for leisure presents a dramatic monologue which is written in a voice of teenager who is isolated individual that commits violent deeds against little innocent pets due do boredom. “An ordinary day” the poet condemns the usefulness of education but attaching the “leisurely” behaviour of the speaker to the education system of Britain. Whereas in shooting stars Duffy portrays the life of the world it as short blast of passion which can come to an end. The poem is written in the first person to emphasise the narrator’s feelings, this creates an intimate relationship between the poet and the reader to increase the emotive effect. The title reinforces that any death no matter how small it is still heroic.
Enjambment makes the poem storylike and colloquial The Buzz Saw – repetition of ‘snarled and rattled’ keeps going back to the buzz saw, tension as we don’t know what’s gonna happen. Hints at tragedy to follow, ‘and nothing happened: day was ALL BUT DONE’, almost safe, almost averted from tragedy. Personification of saw, aggressive and menacing, AURAL IMAGERY, onomatopoeia makes tenser as we can visualise situation. 30 Minutes Before, seems to blame adults to a certain extent for not preventing the accident earlier on, expresses regret, ‘day was all but done’, wistful tone, builds tension as we now know that something will happen to the boy,
He began criticizing you and everything you were doing, looking at you even biting your nails as weakness but around half of guys in their teens still bite their nails, hell I still bite my nails at age 19. He was trying to find flaws in any, and everything you do. His intentions were to break you down, make you feel like you aren’t capable of taking care of yourself or living like you are but then make you feel his love so you would go to him for support. It was his sacrifice to try to keep you safe. He would risk your feelings of friendship towards him to try and save your life.
(Summer School so it's a lot easier). Does my thesis workout? (My thesis has talk be about violence of some sort) “The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but the one who causes the darkness.” – Victor Hugo. In the novel, The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini, Khaled effectively portrays guilt as being destructive to oneself and affecting others around it. The violence that the main character, Amir, experiences leads to him feeling guilty for rest of his life, which breaks up the relationships that he once had in his previous years.
Life After High School Oates uses literary elements to make a social commentary on mans’ basic struggle for survival by writing on how all problems derive from relationships. In the story Life After High School, Zachery Graff exemplifies how a “normal boy” with a high IQ ends up suicidal because he loves people who don’t accept his love. “…The popular, confident, good looking girls, club officers, prom queens, cheerleaders like Sunny Burhman and her friends, tossed out indiscriminately, for that was the style” (Page 574). One of the literary terms that best describes this quote would be a stereotypical tone. When thinking about Zachary’s High School and all of the Stereotypes listed, the feeling of him not fitting in with anyone gives the tone a depressing, almost sad emotion.
Because of these meetings, the boys lives changes. Charlie Dalton plays pranks at school and gives himself the new name “Nuwanda”; Todd Anderson overcomes his shyness; Knox Overstreet falls in love with a girl by writing poems for her; Neil Perry finds his profession in acting, and becomes main character in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, which is against the conceptions of his father. So he brings Neil home and wants him to go to a military school and therefore Neil commits suicide. Mr Keating is held responsible for the suicide by Neil’ s parents and the school administration, because they think he should have floated him into the suicide. By suppressing most pupils to sign that Mr Keating is blamed, he gets dismissed.
This chapter is counted into a climax and a turning point of the novel. Due to the effect of alcohol and ignorance from Sally and the bar singer, Holden made himself of a fool with collapsing sense of security. When he was in the park, he was overwhelmed by depress and miserableness. Tape, ducks and pond triggered his depressing memory of his brother Allie’s death and the fear of his own funeral, thereby revealing the root of his previous manic behavior: Holden was troubled by unexplained disappearance and he was in deep anxiousness that all the things that were related to his pure, innocent childhood would suddenly vanish. This echoes one of the themes of this novel—adolescent confusion on the way to the adult world and the pain of growing up.
When they suffer from a lack of attention it leads to loneliness and depression. In addition to feeling lonely and depressed, they feel like a complete outsider, they feel different; they feel like they are a “wrong” person. “Nobody even stops to think of my side of it.” “Why do I have to be the one with braces” (Audre, 24-30). In today’s day and age many adolescents are suffering from being different or feeling “wrong”. “Mommy, daddy, I just want to let you know I’m gay.” Some parents who have gay kids try and prevent them from being gay hoping to
Even if it is written about all the bad things that could happen, it tells you to live your life because either way you will die. In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Polonius gives advice to his son Laerte. The tirade can be compared to ‘If’ as Shakespeare chose to use a didactic tone. Also each line is divided into different parts. It starts with what you should do but then compromises it.
