Lord Chesterfield’s apprehensive warning shows the adoration he has for his young son, who has traveled far away from his home to receive a college education. By using anaphora and metaphor, he is informing his son that the world he is about to dive into will not always be temperate, but can easily get hot. Chesterfield, just like any other dad, truly has his son’s best interest at heart. The author’s diction demonstrates how he understands the trials and tribulations that his son will imminently be experiencing. He “know{s}” that “advice {is} generally” “unwelcome” and he “know{s}” that its not “followed”, however he “know{s}” that teenagers still “want it.” By using anaphora he is telling his son that he accepts the fact his advice will be rejected on the outside, but will be stored in a memory bank on the inside.

The characters of Raleigh in “Journeys End” and Tom in “The Accrington Pals” share similarities in that they both symbolise innocence and youth. Through these characters Sherriff and Whelan demonstrate how the young men of that period were pressured into enlisting often after being given false information about what the war would have been like. Jingoists and poets at the time like Jessie Pope published such works as “Who’s for the Game?” Through media such as this many of these young, sometimes underage, men were encouraged to literally sign their lives away. Sheriff and Whelan use these characters to demonstrate the innocence of the youth that was involved in the war and through this the waste of lives of people who were so young and had so much potential as a generation. Both the men are fresh faced and just out of education.

The purpose for Alexie’s overuse of “I” and primary use of “cannot” statements add to his intense tone of self-doubt and distance. This begins the article with a very clear, intimate view of Alexie’s personal view on living as a young boy on the reservation. In front of non-Native American school teachers the other children “struggled with basic reading” but outside they could “remember a few dozen powwow songs.” He uses two polar opposites in a singular sentence in one paragraph repeatedly in the middle of the article. This helps Alexie to show the extreme contrast between what young Native Americans are expected to know in front of non-Native American. Alexie continues this method throughout this entire paragraph.
Langston Hughes’ essay “Salvation” tries to tell his childhood experience where he loss of innocence and faith of his understanding that Jesus is not real. On the first three sentences, Hughes shows his maturity, but as the essay goes on, his writing represents a naïve young boy. After further reading of the essay, Hughes has effectively portrays his experience through his writing by developing a persona that could be seen from the length of the sentences, diction, and use of detail.

It is clear that he intended to fascinate and place the reader in the same shoes as his, with the use of varying length sentences, as the reader
