An shocking atmosphere is created through the way the poet describes how the background drivers and how they didn’t do anything to help the victims. In the background two drivers keep their eyes on the road The image of shock is created by the way the poet describes the drivers,the way they don’t show any emotion in the the situation.It implys that the drivers see this kind of crime happening all of the time,and that they are used to seeing things like this happening.In a way it seems like the drivers don’t want to be involved,or that they have previously been involved and nothing good had came out of the situation.

A “survivor car” is what the newspapers called it, did not stop such notice; gathering from the darkness a moment of miracle, and then disappear for the next bend.

The poet uses many metaphors, repetition and morbid diction to illicit the response I had to this poem. Firstly, Butson compared the emotions and internal struggles of a
Second, Mr. Shapiro describes the people viewing the crash as feeling like, "Our throats were tight as tourniquets," Again, the primary meaning to this image is that, in their grief, the bystanders throats feel constricted, as if they had a tourniquet around their neck. But there is an ulterior motive to this simile, it is easily related to the first simile, that of an artery. A tourniquet would obviously be applied to a bubbling artery. The only reason for a tourniquet is to keep something from getting out, especially blood, but in the case of the persons in the story, perhaps it is something else. They might be feeling nauseous because of the shock and are forced to keep their throats tight to forestall vomiting, or they might desire to scream at the pain, and are obligated to remain silent. The poet uses another simile with a double purpose to cause the reader to see all the different facets of the peoples' emotions.

Fear is also generated in this piece of propaganda in that it plays on the emotions of the viewer by making them aware of what may be left behind if they die by a thoughtless and preventable accident.

It also gives a sense of pity for the child that has been abandon by its deceased parents.
The night drew closer around the individuals who, some in dreams, some in panic, seemed to react to impending danger and turned, some to nightmares, some to an eerie calm, as those on death row that accepted their demise for what it was, an abrupt shattering of their existence. Be that as it may, however, some did not wish to go so simply. While some wished for a calm ending, but embraced nevertheless a less subtle end, that of fire and mutilation, others feared it for what it was, or what it could be. Some feared being lost, trapped in a dungeon of previously sound architecture, to watch the edges of their vision turn to the blackness of
Now far enough away from the night club opening, Jessie could hear the distinct sound of a woman screaming. The heart wrenching sound made her stop mid step. Cold terror washed over her as she neared the corner of the alley and peered around it. There were distinct shapes - someone on the ground writhing in pain, one cowering against the wall, and three that approached her. She heard the poor woman crying out for help and saw one of the advancing shadows reach a hand up to strike her across the face. Nausea broiled in the put of her stomach and Jessie took a cautious step in. For a moment she weighed her options - trying to decide what to do. Did she fight or did she fly? Whatever - or rather whoever she thought she saw obviously wasn't real. There was no Superman. But this woman still needed help. Jessie clung to her phone as though it was a bludgeoning weapon and dialed 911. She took a step forward - about to call out to the attackers - when another shadow landed in front of her.
“One, Two, THREE!” Lennie and I sprint toward the bus. I don’t think I have ever seen Lennie run so fast. Just as I think we have made it to safety, a gunshot goes off. Right in front of the old bus, I fall to my knees as my vision becomes blurry. Even through all of the noise and commotion, all I can hear is my ears ringing. Most people would be scared or angry that they are dying, but I was happy because Lennie was safe. Surprisingly, the bus driver took Lennie and drove off. The bus before had just seemed like a bus, but now it was like a chariot, because it carried the only thing important to me in it. As the sight of the bus became vague, my eyes slowly shut and my smile slowly

“HUGH, YOU ARE GUSHING BLOOD!!!” Our heads spin around to see bright, red blood all over his shoes, feet, and the boat. The sight of blood immediately made my stomach drop and put everyone into an instant frenzy. Blood causes people to react because of the stir of emotion it causes, and the same can be said for imagery. Authors of all types of literature use imagery as a tool to engross their readers and make their senses come alive, specifically Shakespeare. In all of Shakespeare’s work a key instrument he uses is imagery; he uses it to make the reader feel connected and that the work he/she is reading is three dimensional. In one of Shakespeare’s plays, Macbeth, he especially uses imagery. The word “blood” is used over 40 times and the

The impulse may emerge from the possibility that the hands are grimy or defiled or there might be a honest to goodness fear of disease or
These references to blood observe their peak with Lady Macbeth’s imagined blood and the battlefield which form a crescendo to conglomerate all the murders performed in the play. “Out damned spot. Out, I say! One two!” a passing reference is also made by the ‘second apparition’ to Macbeth, “be bloody, bold and resolute”. Because blood forms the prologue and epilogue of every murder in the play, it sets the ball rolling for the wave of action in the play.
