Charles Brookes, a young, sturdy, twenty-four year old Englishman, and a farmer by trade, owned a small cottage in the mountainous regions near Lake District, Cumbria. He lived with his parents, who were both of old age and very feeble, and a younger brother, William, who was half his age. Charles and his folks seemed to be living a content life but Charles’ countenance expressed poignancy, and he did not make an effort to reveal his true emotions to his parents. It had only been a few months since his second younger brother, Arthur, had perished to an unknown ailment that did not appear to be stringent. Arthur’s demise had engraved a perpetual, severe, internal anguish within Charles as well as his abode and the rest of its occupants. …show more content…
William was awake preparing for the jobs assigned by his brother and just before his departure, Charles approached William’s bedroom and informed him of his leave.
It hadn’t been long since Charles had left when the salubrious gust of wind blew, agitating the trees, allowing them to dance and sway as though they were celebrating and encouraging Charles’ determination. It was refreshing when the wind hit his face allowing his hair to blow back and settle back in to their original position.
“Hey Charles!” called out Mr Cromwell, “Where are you off to at this time of day?”
“Oh! Mr Cromwell, Sir, I’m just heading out to take a nature walk of Lake District,” answered Charles.
“If you don’t mind me asking…but for what purpose?” questioned Mr Cromwell
“No not at all. Lately I have been remembering my late brother—“
“Ah! Andrew. Good chap he was,” interrupted Mr Cromwell
“Yes. And so I won’t to take my mind of things a little bit…and so I resolved to this,” said Charles.
“Good for you son. I won’t hold you any longer. Carry on,” said Mr Cromwell with a gentle smile on his face. Mr Cromwell was an old acquaintance of his Father, as he too was of the same trade: a farmer and Charles respected him with the same level of respect that he gave to his father. Charles knew Mr Cromwell since childhood and was never reluctant to answer any of his questions. His mien was as calming as the
Henry is appealing to the patriotism and emotions of his audience by mentioning things such as “a question of freedom or slavery”, “the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country”, and “the very worth gentlemen who have just addressed the House”.
In Chesterfield’s letter to his son, composed in mid 18th century England, Chesterfield advises his son who is venturing away from home to obtain a higher equation. From a parental perspective, Chesterfield writes to his son out of adoration, compassion, and wisdom, consistently providing his son with advice to absorb the benefits of his education. Through the use of varied rhetoric, Chesterfield emphasizes the virtues of wisdom in age and determination fostering success.
Throughout Henry’s speech, there are many strong words and phrases that evoke emotions. One example of this is when he uses the word insidious; “Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received?” (37). This oxymoron of the words insidious and smile creates a feeling of anger in the audience. Pairing the words insidious and smile causes the British to seem
In The Great Gatsby, the author, F Scott Fitzgerald depicts the post - war roaring 20’s, a time of overwhelming prosperity and a new found sense of hope for the future. While this novel is often perceived as a romance, it is also a criticism on the devastating nature of the elusive american dream. The story of Jay Gatsby is a representation of what had become the values of the individual at the time. With the progression of the early 1920’s the vision of the perfect life, or the american dream, had been skewed. It was replaced with greed, and an abundance of reckless spending in which the wealthier individuals placed their misguided ideas of happiness. In the Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald chooses to expose the hidden truth behind the illustrious concept of the American dream. Through his use of literary devices such as, symbolism, metaphor, and, irony the central idea of the truly unattainable American dream is supported throughout the novel.
He almost immediately begins to ask very short and simple questions, met with his own, very short, simple answers, and examples of Britain's grievances such as how Britain is militarizing and how their petitions have been ignored. This causes the audience to question how they are handling the issues Great Britain has brought upon them, and, ultimately, causing them to rethink their choices. Henry’s goal is to give the audience a question of which they cannot answer unless they think similar to how he
The nobleman’s eyebrow shot higher into his hairline, and murmurs- verbal and mental- broke out across the crowd. Charles ignored them, and went on. “If you’ll spare him for the night- and I think you can, as we’ve all had our show,” he said. “I plan to seek the general in the morning.”
Henry began his speech by emphasizing that although he is patriotic towards Britain, he has a different view on how to handle conflict with them. One of his most genius strategies is not discrediting the audience’s views, but delicately showing them a different one. “Different men often see the same subject in different lights” Henry builds ethos by expressing a religious passion. He shows himself as a Christian fighting for god. Henry attempts to show the illusion of hope by being the bearer of bad news.
This essay is about how King Henry rallied his men together to get them ready for battle against the French army. They were looking down upon themselves because they were outnumbered by the French. He made them feel equal as to fighting together as brothers and having brotherhood. I will examine three examples that show how Henry communicates to his men before battle
Henry prolongs verbalizing his speech with the opposing argument that the colonists are weak with the use of an ethical appeal. He pronounces, “But when shall we be stronger?”(Henry). Yet again he creates an emotional appeal through his description of the outcome of waiting until they are stronger such as asking if they will be stronger. Carrying on Henry declares “when a British guard shall be stationed in every house.” He creates a terrifying image in figuratively comparing their waiting and hoping for someone. He keep on continuing with rhetorical questions like “Lying supinely on their backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope
His statement was written two centuries after Cromwell and is based on historic evidence and his ability to read books but not from first hand experience. This means he has other peoples’ biased reports to read and these could change they way he thinks about Cromwell without it perhaps being true.
In these upcoming paragraphs I will be talking to you about how Henry V demonstrates his ability to make all of his men feel valued and equal. About how he makes his men feel like they’re a family.
King Henry V had the ability to communicate with people from all walks of life. In his St. Crispin’s Day speech, he rallies his troops by making all of them feel as though they belong to something special, that they are valued, and that they have an equal share in the endeavor. The speech comes before a battle in which the English is greatly outnumbered. In this essay I will provide three examples that show Henry’s ability to communicate with all of his men and to effectively make them feel a part of something important.
“He went home ashamed and indignant, choking with anger and confusion, the more dejected that he was capable, with his Norman cunning, of doing what they had accused him of and ever boasting of it as of a good turn.”
