Secondly, the author uses word choice to show the speakers overall sorrow. Throughout the whole poem there are word scattered everywhere that describe the general emotion of sorrow, some of those word being “restless” (19), “torment”, and “troubled” (4). These words instantly give the connotation of feelings like despair and sadness. The speaker also uses literary elements such as simile to express sorrow, like when she says “These troubles of the heart/ are like unwashed clothes” (27, 28). Everyday people usually do not pay much mind to unwashed clothes, and usually look at it as something unimportant or irrelevant. When the speaker compares her internal troubles to something that holds little importance to everyday life and is also seen as unpleasant, the readers really get a look into the sorrow and sadness that the speaker is truly feeling. The speaker also uses word choice to help show the readers the true intensity of what she is going through.

Throughout the passage Pack uses repetition and hypophora, they not only keep the form and structure of the poem but emphasizes lines that help the reader understand the meaning and message of the poem. One example of a hypophora is the voice asking, “And in that night would you rejoice or weep?”, the echo answers, “weep”, the voice asks again, “ what contradiction makes you take this view?”, and is answered, “You” (Pack). These to lines area able to showcase the intermittent relationship between the voice and echo, making them seem as a person and a conscience of another apotropaic character. The use of weep and rejoice represent being happy or down, and the two characters opinions on these feelings expose that the poem is telling the reader that weeping and being submerged in your own head as the voice is leads to uncovering truths

Lee’s writing is littered with descriptive and flowery visuals that truly capture both the environment and his emotions. In one such case, he recalls an evening where he “[stared] at the brightest star, viewing it not so much on this night as a beacon, something [he] wanted to believe would lead [he] out of this dark tunnel, but instead as a place [he’d] rather be” (155). His juvenile wistfulness is tangible in the words and the reader can almost feel the chill of the night air. He continues, wishing to be “anywhere but here…[wishing to have] been born anywhere but here.” (155). His yearning twists the heart with sympathy for his lonesome and pitiable plight. This moment is but a minute fraction of the incredibly intimate tale that Lee

When she states, “There’s nothing more I can do” (119), readers quickly jump to the conclusion of death and sorrow. This immediately affects our emotions, and how our minds are racing to find an escape route for Louie because we are emotionally attached to him and his survival. This statement also connects back to Louie’s ideal of never giving up because even though Louie said he was giving up, he fights for his life and in the end he survives. With this specific diction and profound imagery, Hillenbrand adds the emotional touch to round out Louie’s

   In Othello, Shakespeare explores the relationship between words and events. Spoken thought, in the play, has all the power of action; speaking about an event will make that event become reality for those who hear - it will affect reality as if that event had taken place. Shakespeare demonstrates the power of words poignantly through Othello's monologues. Othello struggles with the reality that Iago creates for him. When Othello speaks, he reveals that he is unable to stop himself from carrying out acts that Iago's and his own words have prophesied and initiated. Othello's monologues further demonstrate that even the knowledge of the power of words cannot protect the characters from the

In The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne often demonstrates the frailty of humans. Nature is often described as beautiful, while the Puritan society and human nature are viewed in a harsh light. Hawthorne illustrates that human nature is flawed and judgmental through use of figurative language, critical diction, and symbolism.

The poem’s structure as a sonnet allows the speaker’s feelings of distrust and heartache to gradually manifest themselves as the poem’s plot progresses. Each quatrain develops and intensifies the speaker’s misery, giving the reader a deeper insight into his convoluted emotions. In the first quatrain, the speaker advises his former partner to not be surprised when she “see[s] him holding [his] louring head so low” (2). His refusal to look at her not only highlights his unhappiness but also establishes the gloomy tone of the poem. The speaker then uses the second and third quatrains to justify his remoteness; he explains how he feels betrayed by her and reveals how his distrust has led him

In Andersonville, GA, there was a 16.6 acre prison. The prison housed the Union soldiers captured by the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Reports from a man who entered the camp said the men whom were held as prisoners looked as if they were skeletons. People would ask questions such as, “Can this be hell?,” or “God protect us!” The prison was a rectangular style prison. In the center, approximately three or four acres, stood a swamp. The swamp was used as a “sink” for the prisoners. Around the edge of the swamp was excrements of the prisoners¬- the stench was suffocating. There was an area of the prison known as the “Dead Line,” a no man-zone. The prison was undersupplied with food, not only for the prisoners, but also for

by the decisions that happen and actions. Racism also takes part of this reading with the attack of Louima by police while being incarcerated, the attack affected him emotionally and mentally because of the abuse he put up with. The attack not only affected Louima but the people that heard about his attack got angry at the discrimination he faced during the time he was in jail. Loneliness can be in either passages because when Louima was asked “how it felt to be rich” Louima answered that he was only grateful to be alive he felt lonely in this situation because others were worried about how he would spend the money instead of his health and with Princess Diana the people were weeping because they loved her and losing her impacted the people, in my opinion they were lost and confused about who would be there for them.

significance of this section in the poem is the underlying relationship between what the narrater

The role of language in Shakespeare’s play “The Tempest” is quite significant. To Miranda and Prospero the use of language is a means to knowing oneself. Caliban does not view language in the same light. Prospero taught Caliban to speak, but instead of creating the feeling of empowerment from language, Caliban reacts in insurrectionary manner. Language reminds him how different he is from Miranda and Prospero, and also how they have changed him. It also reminds him of how he was when he wasn’t a slave. He resents Prospero for “Civilising” him, because in doing so he took away his freedom.

After giving a detail description on “The Downpour” through the usage of amplification, personification, metaphors and similes to invoke imagery and reverberant sound, Arena eventually applies flashback to the passage. We see this where he states, “Finally I would run outside, naked, and let the rain soak me through...I was not satisfied with rolling in the grass, I wanted to fly, to fly like those birds alone in the downpour.” The writer portrays the downpour as an “extraordinary event” in the life of the child by giving the audience a personal reference to his experience in the downpour. This enables the readers to appreciate this momentous event by engaging the reader more into the passage. The writer’s awestruck tone also contributes significantly to this passage as it sets the attitude of the passage and aids setting the atmosphere. This compels the audience to imagine and almost feel like they are experiencing this event, thus, Arena successfully portrays the downpour as an “extraordinary event” in the life of the
