Rhetoric is a way of persuasive wring or speaking, including the use of figures of speech and other writing techniques. An example of a speech that includes Rhetoric would be “The American Crisis Number 1” by Thomas Paine. Thomas Paine was born on January 29th, 1737 in England. Thomas Paine’s writings were very passionate and inspiring, but they also reflected his life. In the speech “The American Crisis Number 1” by Thomas Paine a strong message is delivered to American soldiers through his use of alliteration, personification and antithesis.

Words and actions have a large impact on the way you work with the world around you, they have the ability to make you feel indescribable emotions in every way. The poem “Little Boy,” written by B.H. Fairchild begins as a young boy questions his father’s hurtful past, as the speaker demonstrates that he asked the questions as he would’ve asked if he ever saw “Dimaggio or Mantle,” and develops into an examination of a lifeless relationship between father and son.

The poem “Between the World and Me” by Richard Wright reanimates the horrible scene of a racial lynching and forces the reader to endure the victim's pain through the first person’s narrative voice. The poem contains structured lines and visual division into three stanzas. Moreover, there is one more type of division in the poem. The author uses an ellipsis four times throughout the poem. This punctuation mark frames the poem into the timeline, where the historical past of the African American poet becomes the present experience of any human, despite the race. The climax of the poem is presented in the middle of stanza two. The animated moment, which starts from the sentence “the ground gripped my feet”, dramatically shifts the

In today’s society, sociopaths frequently play a big role in the business/political world. Sociopaths are people with personality disorders, who are usually charming, and have poor judgment (M. E.

I have never seen any of this images before. The image I choose was A Boy’s Escape: photo by Ralph Crane, 1947, I choose this image because I see it in a negative way, when I see it reminded me of child abuse. Once I read the paragraph it was almost the same thing the boy was running away from his home. Child abuse so common to happen now in the child home and some even commit suicide because that the only way they can get out of being abuse. In the picture the male adult might be the child father and his running after the child and it seems like he his carrying something in his hand the object might be something to hit the child. It make me sad to see this image because there are other ways of dis a child hitting is not one of the answers

The connection and bond you create with someone is very dear to your heart and the feelings and memories you share with them enhance the relationship. People commonly associated with these relationships can be your parents, a best friend, a loyal, dog, or in the boy’s case in the poem “Boy at the Window” by Richard Wilbur, his snowman. The boy in the poem built a snowman creating a friendship between them. As the snowman sits outside preparing for a “night of gnashing and enormous moan”, the boy looks out the window and cries to see his snowman all alone.

Roald Dahl uses humour in children books he writes to manipulate the reader’s perception of events that occur in the books. The book, Boy is an autobiography written by Roald Dahl. It was his first book and it is a combination of real events in his life. Matilda is one of his fictional books that he wrote later on. Dahl uses events that are actually gruesome and quite horrifying and makes them humorous by using sarcasm, hyperboles, short sentences, imagery, similes and juxtapositions (rose96, 2011). Dahl uses a lot of adjectives to describe the characters in his books to portray them in a humorous way. He uses figures of speech to describe a character and to make this character unique.

In “The Boys”, Maya Angelou illustrates the vulnerability of her family toward white society, creating a strong tension between her safe haven and the outside world. Angelou expresses a sense of peace and comfort while describing her daily household chores and her adventures at Mama’s store. That sense of relief and security was shattered when the used-to-be sheriff arrives on a horse and stops into their yard.

Mama orders Angelou and Bailey to immediately empty out a bin full of onions and potatoes so Uncle Willie

A Doll 's House by Henrik Ibsen, is a play that has been written to withstand all time. In this play Ibsen highlights the importance of women’s rights. During the time period of the play these rights were neglected. Ibsen depicts the role of the woman was to stay at home, raise the children and attend to her husband during the 19th century. Nora is the woman in A Doll House who plays is portrayed as a victim. Michael Meyers said of Henrik Ibsen 's plays: "The common denominator in many of Ibsen 's dramas is his interest in individuals struggling for and authentic identity in the face of social conventions. This conflict often results in his characters ' being divided between a sense of duty to themselves and their responsibility to others." All of the aspects of this quote can be applied to the play A Doll House, in Nora Helmer 's character, who throughout much of the play is oppressed, presents an inauthentic identity to the audience and throughout the play attempts to discovery her authentic identity.

In the poem the night is personified as having a gnashing and enormous moan. According to stanza one, lines three and four, “The small boy weeps to hear the wind prepare/A night of gnashing and enormous moan.” This personification shows how the boys sees the weather in his eyes and how much he fear the weather for the snowman. This reveals the innocence of the child which is why the snowman is later moved to “trickle the purest rain, a tear,” for the boy. Personification was also used in this poem to personify the snow man as having emotions and feelings toward the little boy. Due to this we were able to see the boys fear and sadness toward the snowman and the snowman’s reaction of feeling sympathy toward the boy’s feelings. Without this personification we would not be able to know the snow man’s feelings are emotions. In this poem personification is a very contributing factor in showing the innocence of the little boy and telling the feelings of the snowman toward the little boy when he becomes emotionally moved due to the little boys fear and sadness.
