"Robins will wear their feathery fire, whistling their whims on a low fence wire". This quoteis compared but its diffrently worded were it makes us think a little more the author uses these metaphorsto represent a less tangiable thing or some intangable quality or thing. Brad used metaphors in various ways which made the story very well detailed . Inferencing is a great way to make a reader use its imagination by visualising what will happen next.

This gives the reader a clear reminder of the wealth and power of the rabbits. The repetition of the British flag effectively conveys the notion of power amongst the rabbits and represents the establishment of control. This shows the extent of the British invasion. Another key theme in The Rabbits is displacement and loss, which is communicated through the use of effective visual techniques such as page layout. At the start of the book the land and animals are portioned to be a demanding part of the picture compared to the tiny black chimney in the corner.
The governing authorities again like to use culturally significant figures in the tales of innovation and invention and discovery. Even with such advanced politics and thought, a class distinction still persisted, and though they had seen the benefit of all this technology, there were those in the upper class who felt it was beneath them to use such tools in any way. T Innovation was of great value to both the Han and Romans. The Han placed a higher attribution to culturally relevant creators. For example, Huan Tan, an upper-class Han philosopher wrote in New Discourses (Document III) of an emperor of myth inventing and refining the pestle and mortar for all people.
In "A Barred Owl", the speaker uses words like "domesticate" when discussing terror, to bring the happenings of the poem closer to the reader's idea of home. Wilbur's writing is much more grotesque and uncut than Collins', in that his diction emphasizes phrases like, "eaten raw" (12), and "her darkened room" (2). In contrast, the diction in "The History Teacher" is centered around innocence and hope, creating a sense of security in the history teacher's lies. "took place in a garden" (11), and "white picket fences" (18), emphasize the speaker's sense of homely-ness and hope in
Likewise, in 2081, Harrison Bergeron is placed in prison and death-sentenced for promoting individuality and being very intelligent. Both governments condition people to associate intelligence with danger because it can take complete equality away and ultimately challenge the government’s authority. The idea of community in both worlds is expressed differently, however, because of the effectiveness and stylistic ways of the societies. In Brave New World, the community is run with a social caste system and one is born with a social standing depending on their physical and mental ability. Depending on their manipulated characteristics, they are placed with a job to suit
Analysis Essay Just like any tool in a writer’s arsenal, characterization has the power to affect the meaning of any story. As a reader, I know full well the power characterization holds, and more specifically, the power it hold in the story “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst. How the writer characterizes the characters in the Scarlet Ibis enforces the meaning of the theme, and what the story communicate. Doodle was portrayed in the story as a tenacious dreamer. He didn’t believe he could walk, he believed what the doctors and his family members said, yet when he was presented with the idea of training to walk, he hesitated, but later persisted.
“The Lesson of the Moth” In society today there are two main different types of people, the free spirited individuals and the conservative individuals. The free spirits believe to live in the moment and die doing something that makes them happy while the conservatives believe to live in routine and stick to “playing it safe”. In Don Marquis’s poem, “The Lesson of the Moth”, Don uses a moth and a cockroach, named Archy, to portray those two personalities. The poem dives deep into how people go about their lives, a touchy subject for some, and how they view each other. The poem starts off with Archy giving the reader the setting and an idea that the moth is suicidal, but the next stanza explains that the moth and the cockroach do not understand each other’s lives.
Through the use of literary and film techniques both texts successfully illustrate how belonging is integral to humanity and that it is physically, emotionally and intellectually needed for mankind to have companionship in order to find a sense of place in the world. Skryznecki’s “Migrant Hostel” talks about where he and his family spent living in after immigrating to Australia from Poland. He describes the unpleasant migrant journey indicating a sense of belonging as well as alienation. E.g. 1 Simile is used in the lines “Nationalities sought each other out instinctively, like a homing pigeon”.
The Crucible Essay One way authors represent the meaning of a story is to have significant title. This is true of the story “The Scarlet Ibis.” In the story, the death of the bird mirrors the death of a boy, so the author called the story “The Scarlet Ibis.” The practice of picking titles that say something about the story is one that many authors use. When Arthur Miller chose the title, “The Crucible,” he used a symbolic title. Miller carefully picked the title using great examples to connect the meaning to the title. Arthur’s choice for choosing “The Crucible” for the play is great for so many reasons.
In Ray Bradbury’s short story “Embroidery”, we see a semi futuristic setting with events that take place only in one house. The author takes great care to use many of the literary devices available to him. The major utilized in this short story is symbolism, along with foreshadowing and irony. These literary devices are combined to make a social commentary that discusses the idea that technology can be both the savior and the potential destruction of mankind, and that even if not directly responsible for any event, all of society is to blame when things turn out badly. Starting with symbolism, we are introduced to a major concept in this story from early on, starting in line 6 with the main characters, “Each woman looked to her own hands, as if suddenly she had found her heart beating there.” From this point on, the author intentionally gives us various examples to illustrate the idea that a person’s soul is not merely their ‘center’ or mind; it is where the person feels or uses that fragment of themselves, in this case the women’s hands.
