Others hide themselves because they are posting negative and improper things about a subject or about someone in particular. Like Bernstein states “In one feature, to take one modest example, the site asked for replies to the question: Who are the sluttiest girls at Cornell? As of this week, there were forty-seven postings in response, several of which gave names, apparently real ones (Bernstein 349-350). Shows how many reputations and lives can be ruin by one anonymous person that doesn’t consider the damage done, therefor becoming a coward hiding behind anonymity. The majority of users post nasty comments but are cowards when it comes to post them with their name on the post.
Repeats Stella's name, could be as not to loose her trip on reality or loose her sanity, amongst her painful recollections from belle reve. Rhetorical questions come up, all in one big clump, she starts off by just exclaiming, with almost all words/sentences ending in a exclamation mark, however towards the end of the monologue, it's more questions 'which of them left us a fortune.' ' which of them left a cent of insurance even.' Could be showing towards the end that her sadness turns more into anger directed at Stella, this shows her as slightly indecisive, muddled, and also starts to see a more sinister side to her, as she brutally interrogates and judges her younger sister. 'You didnt dream but I saw' the mention of dreams relating to belle reve, (which ironically translates to
Since her guilt is displayed publicly it is easy for Hester to deal with the sin that she commits. Next, due to Hester ignoring the Puritans judgement eventually the meaning of the “A” changes from adultery to able. All of the negative associations with the “A” are erased and the meaning changes to something completely different. The meaning of the “A” changes when Hawthorne states: “The letter was the symbol of her calling. Such helpfulness was found in her -so much power to do and power to sympathize – that many people refused to interpret the scarlet ‘A’ by its original signification.
Now Mrs. Murphy-Tick expected me to wear a letter representing my character flaw for a whole two days? This couldn’t be happening. My letter, “J”, can signify different meanings. It could indicate being judgmental, jaundiced, jaded, jerky, or jumpy. However, the most prominent weakness in myself is jealousy.
In his opinion the nation and it's leaders are at fault for not addressing this problem. 4. The complexity of the problem seems to determine the order of the examples where they begin with simple problems and then escalate. The most memorable example for me is the one about the woman who mistakenly underwent a hysterectomy, it appears in the middle in paragraph fourteen. SOAPSTone: Subject: Kozol discusses the causes and effects of illiteracy in our society.
She states in the first paragraph “… I haven’t noticed any women like me on television…” yet her next paragraph is centered on a television show about a woman with MS. Mairs tries to redeem herself by describing how this woman’s emotional weakness, for running back to her doctor/love interest, is inaccurate, but that is mostly a sexist representation of women and less a misrepresentation of the disabled. Mairs continues the rest of the essay in her mostly hostile fashion. She tosses in many rhetorical devices to the reader which, admittedly, makes her feel somewhat relatable and real. Her informal style of writing makes it seem like she knows her reader on an intimate level, therefor you are more inclined to accept her statements without evidence, succumbing to her requests for disability to be viewed as normal. She wraps up her essay
He just knows that if she’s considered a saint now, his word might not be enough. And they were alone when she mentioned it. Elizabeth asks Proctor to confirm whether Abigail and he were alone together. Proctor admits that for a minute they were, but then the others came. Then, Elizabeth realizes, he must have lied to her the first time he told the story.
I was blind in my fury, grabbing the girl by the hair, wondering what I had seen in her. What good my confession could have brought never came, for they brought in Elizabeth to verify the act, and the dear, sweet woman, she lied to preserve me. They forced Abigail and me to turn away from her, depriving her of any notion of what to say or how to act. My mind mixed for a way to get her to tell the truth, but at her first moment of hesitance, I realized how completely loyal she was to me. If guilt had been heavy on me before, it brings me to my knees now.
At the beginning of this text Josie is a self-centred child who blamed all her problems on everyone else in her life. Whereas in chapter ten, page 100 she opens her eyes and realises when she says,` I’m beginning to realise I can be a little selfish’. After all the arguments with her mother, Grandmother, Jacob Coote and John Barton, Josie comes to understand herself. She realises that she over reacted and thinks that she has a terrible life, when she has a good life. Marchetta makes use of emotive language in describing Josie as “selfish”.
In ‘The Devils Wife’ Carol Ann Duffy’s presentation of Myra Hinley can be interpreted in many ways. The language Duffy uses is effective in showing the corruption of Hinley by Ian Brady, this effect is created using the short sentences and language which is blunt and doesn’t flow well. This effect makes it seem as though everything seems to be happening very fast for Hindley as if she's got no control over her own actions almost; 'I know it was me who was there.' this make it seem as though she is acting without thinking as though she has no personal control and it shows the corruption that has come from being obsessed with ‘the devil.’ The language used is very blunt, this helps the reader see how Hindley is drained of humanity because of Brady, ‘He held my heart in his fist and squeezed it dry’. Sentences ans sections of poems are repeated which gives the impression of Hinley slowly losing her mind throughout the poem.
