Peters describes his tears like this in order to create sounds for the reader so that the tears become realistic and the poem becomes more relatable. The alliteration of the harsh ‘b’ sound in ‘bottled up bullies’ shows that the bullies’ lives are no longer easy or nice. In the fifth stanza, the pronoun ‘you’ is used to directly address the bullies. A tone of sarcasm is used throughout this stanza in order to not only hurt the bullies but also to show how he is now more successful than the bullies. The rhetorical question at the end of this stanza also emphasises the sarcastic tone.
We tried keeping the signal fire going but we couldn’t. And then you, playing at hunting…”(Golding 178). He is also probably mad because his tribe is all work and no play and he sees that it’s not fair that Jacks tribe is all play and no work. His emotion turns to anger for Jack because the main objective is to get rescued but Jack is too arrogant to want to work to make it happen. Anger is an important emotion because it leads to violence like in the death of Piggy, Simon, and the attempt to kill
Gibbons uses language to create fear in his novel. Throughout the book, he adds different metaphors; one of which is when Rabia states, if you ‘choose to stand in no-man’s land you’re likely to be shot at’. This indicates, in her area of society, things are falling apart: people are picking sides, ready for war. The audience anticipate a conflict of some sort, therefore creating a sense of fear. The fear in this case would mostly be ‘Superstitious’ fear.
Knowing Tom has a violent temper which was previously seen when he lashes out at Myrtle the reader therefore fears trouble. After Tom’s exposure of Gatsby as a bootlegger and a numbers racketeer, Gatsby’s sinister criminal activities prove to be the cause of Daisy’s ‘lost voice’ and, Gatsby’s loss of Daisy herself. The second narrator, Michaelis, along with the police officer, tells the reader of the events surrounding Myrtle’s death. This use of a stranger to narrate the story is a change in style, as Fitzgerald usually either uses Nick as the narrator or has other characters relate matters to him, which he subsequently retells. In this case, Nick does not speak with Michaelis, nor indeed know what Michaelis knows, until the inquest.
In To Kill a Mockingbird, most of the characters were stereotyped because of what they did. For example, Boo Radley was stereotyped as a creeper because he stayed in his house all the time. But really, he wanted to stay away from the world because it was cruel. Even though we know it is bad to stereotype, we do it anyway. For it is a natural human instinct to stereotype.
His fingers become covered with a yellow stain and people think that he is hygienically unclean. He forces Toby to do the paper round but exploits him and does not give him his money which angers Toby (221); he has to pawn his rifles. He is referred to as a “sissy” because he initially he does not want to fight Arthur. He abuses him because he discards the almost-empty mustard bottle (171) and when Dwight strikes him despite his finger injury, Rosemary finally knows she must remove Toby from the household.
At that mental age, they would not have been able to handle reality. One may say that it is sinful to end a life in general, however what George did was a truly good action by sending Lennie to a better place instead of receiving torture from Curley, a very abusive and cruel man to Lennie. A good example that is similar to this is when Candy had to make the decision to end the life of his dog. Many workers disliked Candy’s dog because it was elderly and smelled horrendous, therefore wanted it dead. Like George, Candy only wanted his dog dead to prevent it from enduring the suffering that they both face from oppressors.
His arms gradually bent at the elbows and his hands closed into fists… Lennie squirmed under the look and shifted his feet nervously.” The word ‘squirmed’ means to be in discomfort or emotional distress, so this shows that Lennie feels uncomfortable to be in Curley’s presence. This presents conflict as Lennie is threatened by Curley’s nature despite the size difference. This evokes sympathy in the reader towards Lennie, as despite his physical strength, he is still vulnerable because of his mental disability. However, Lennie is also seen as a threat to Curley because of his physical appearance and strength. “Curley’s fist was swinging when Lennie reached for it.
If the audience was ever in doubt, they now realise that the outcome must be tragic. The hope and disappointment pattern of the previous scene is repeated but with more far-reaching implications: opportunities constantly arise for the whole problem to be cleared up satisfactorily, but these are always frustrated with ever more serious consequences. However, the opportunities are lost, not as a result of deliberate wickedness, but by accident. Thus, the act is indeed one of interruptions, of explanations tragically delayed. In the court Judge Danforth is trying to conduct an inquiry, but he is constantly distracted from one problem to another by chance.
We learn a lot about the Duke and the way his words are told about him and about others gives the reader negative thoughts towards the Duke. As we read on, it seems as if the Duke is unreliable. He has become very bias and subjective. He called a servant an ‘officious fool’ when he was just doing his duty as a servant. His attitude makes the reader start to question himself/herself and, instead of having sympathy for the Duke, the reader is also pulled to a point where you don’t know whether you should believe him.
