I can feel the cruelty and sorrow from the huge amount of death in those wars. The novels I read let me feel deeper about the despair of the people who involved in the war. “War is hell, but that’s not the half of it, because war is also mystery and terror and adventure and courage and discovery and holiness and pity and despair and longing and love. War is nasty; war is fun. War is thrilling; war is drudgery.
We cannot quite tell whether it is sunrise or early evening. I think that the sound of the birds merged with the time of day described and the gallows presented along with the howling winds gives the reader the sort of impression that gives a person Goosebumps. As Pip is running across the path beside the sea, there are gallows in the background. I can say with certainty that Lean put them there on purpose to create an atmosphere. He does this because the most popular connotation of gallows is death or something violent which is in every manner a negative thing: it shows that Lean is successful in his objective to create an ominous mood.
The emotion behind this song applies directly to the advertisement because it is commonly used to portray loss, which is the preposition presented by the A.S.P.C.A. : without your donation, animals will die. This immediately evokes pathos from the viewer. The combination of the song and the cruelty-induced expressions on the animals faces throughout the commercial help amplify the dire need of the audience’s

This indicates that he knows of how mean and irresponsible he has been, possibly reflecting the fact many people say life ‘flashes before your eyes’ at death. His change is important to the story as it gives a possible reason for the death of the heirs of Durin (Thorin’s nephews Fili and Kili) because they would have succumbed to the same sickness of the mind that catalysed this change in Thorin (which, it is implied, also affected his father and grandfather, Thrain and Thror) and also because it shows a downfall of humanity: avarice. Throughout the story Bilbo acts as a character through
John Foulcher Speech Have you ever really thought about death? It happens every day…. Death creates an image of demise and loss, which often brings to mind dark colours and vehement feelings… these figures also portray an image of violence. Death can be described as a violent act of life… and so for this reason, violence can be seen as inherent in life… John Foulcher presents this theme in both his powerful poems “For the Fire” and “Kangaroos Near Hay”. He uses a variety of effective literary devices to further explore this idea.
Underwood simply figured it was a sin to kill cripples, be they standing, sitting, or escaping. He likened Tom’s death to the senseless slaughter of songbirds by hunters and children…” (241). Tom’s comparison to a song or mockingbird was best conveyed in the novel by the previous quote, which refers back to Atticus’s earlier quote. Atticus’s quote is best clarified by Miss Maudie, who states that mockingbirds not only have no detriment to people, that they create music for people (a benefit). Tom Robinson died a mockingbird because not only did he not
Question 1: To Kill a Mockingbird The words: “Cry about the simple hell people give other people – without even thinking” go right to the heart of this book.

It hurts and it is a painful. The emotions we have are overwhelming, moreover, they are haunting. In Louise Erdrich’s short story “The Red Convertible,” Lyman’s Life experience will give readers the understanding that time, war, and death will change people, but the bonds of brotherhood can-not be broken, or save the life of your brother. Lyman seemed to have it easier then the rest of the native boys on his reservation. Lyman was different and everyone noticed it.
He now lives in fear that the monster will kill him. That is also foreshadowed by the quotes “....I escaped..took refuge in the courtyard...listening attentively, catching and fearing each sound as if it were to announce the approach of the demoniacal corpse to which I had so miserably given life”. These quotes show that Frankenstein is truly afraid of what he has created and he will continue to run for his life. The Story of Frankenstein is one of terror and suspense, so diction is a very important aspect of this book, and specifically this passage. Shelley is an expert at selecting the right words to provoke the desired reaction upon whoever is reading her book.
