Language In Ellen Collett's The Art Of The Police Report

In his writing, Baca uses word pictures to show a side of despair in his life that eventually leads to a positive change where he now has hope. The beginning is filled with scenarios of him working in an emergency room “mopping up pools of blood and carting plastic bags stuffed with arms, legs and hands to the outdoor incinerator” (Baca), then moves on to detailed descriptions of his times spent incarcerated, and how the detectives treat an intoxicated man. “His shrill screams raked my nerves like a hacksaw on bone, the desperate protest of his dignity against their inhumanity.”(Baca) The wording he uses describes a vivid, violent, and at times beautiful view. Throughout the narrative, Baca builds an explanation of the circumstances he is in, and builds a visual where

The aesthetic definition of art describes art as a 'vehicle ' (Carroll, 1999) for aesthetic experience. Therefore art is only really an artwork if it triggers aesthetic responses and experiences for its audience. In other words, art is defined through aesthetics; and aesthetic experiences. There are a number of crucial elements which must be explained in order to account for the plausibility of the aesthetic definition of art. This essay will outline these key points, and arguments for and against these elements; in conjunction with examples from the text 'Persuasion ' by Jane Austen (1998) to illustrate why this

Thomson Highway’s The Kiss of the Fur Queen has a core theme of art. In this novel, art is integrated into the lives of the characters. The modernist movement would indicate that art has the ability to plainly exist “art of arts sake”. Peter Lamarque notes “To value a work for its own sake is to value it for what it is in itself, not for the realization of some ulterior ends.” (par. 19) This commonly accepted view, that art is valued because it is great art, not for the role or function that it has in society, restricts arts impact. This perspective limits and does not allow for the surfacing of profound effects that art creates. In the Kiss of the Fur Queen, art has power it does not simply exist but has function. The observable function

Intertwined within the novel is the presence of many different genres including letters, articles and magazine clippings, and pictures. At first sight there is the

As Mannes stated, the process of association is essential in determining the quality of art, by comparing it to the other art we have seen. I am able to judge the multitexts I have read in class by using the process of association to compare them to each other. For example, we are able to judge the quality of the pieces by comparing and contrasting them to each other. All three of our multitexts used certain writing models such as analogy poems and dialogue. Cusion’s piece “Blame”, is an analogy poem that he used to build on his multitext, implicitly telling readers

Words expressed only through the agonizing notes of distress and sadness. Only then was the “art and suffering,” comingled in only a way that life’s experiences could bring.

In an attempt to appeal to the audience’s emotion, Brown presents information that influences the audience on an emotional level and helps them connect with the article from a personal aspect. Stating what was seen upon finding the women, Brown writes, “Both Patterson and Brown had their throats slit; the other bodies were in too advanced a state of decomposition to determine the cause of death, though the coroner often suspected asphyxia. The victims were mired in poverty and mental illness; and all had hustled Jennings’ south side streets for drugs and sex.” After reading this it creates a graphic image in the readers mind and allows the reader to be able to imagine what it would feel like to walk in the room and picture people with their throats slit. By visualizing what’s going on in this specific part of the article the reader can then imagine themselves or someone they love being in that same position. Another instance that appeals to the readers emotions is when in an interview with witness, Jerry Jackson, Brown

While other may just quickly glance at the narrator’s paintings and not notice anything, Rockwell had always examined the narrator’s work in silence and noticed the subtle details of the narrator’s paintings. Because of Rockwell’s unconventionality, he is able to discern through the façade the narrator puts on and unveil his true identity. Unlike the other individuals who have scrutinized the narrator’s paintings, Rockwell began “frowning at a picture [the narrator] had made.” This illustrates his peculiar thoughts where he is capable of discovering something different from the narrator’s paintings of Sara. Rockwell is able to analyze the meaning behind the narrator’s paintings of Sara and eventually pry out the true meaning of his artwork. Rockwell represents the brutal, cold reality that the narrator must confront and accept. This is demonstrated through his honest, direct words as he tells the narrator that he is “doing [him] a favour by telling you this.” He wishes that the narrator will gradually begin to abandon his painful past and embrace the reality that he must end up confronting. Towards the end, even

In his book And Still We Rise, Miles Corwin wrote about how he was researching a homicide in South-Central. During the homicide a boy was shot by gangbangers. The detectives thought he was another gangbanger but they realized he wasn’t. He was a junior at high school and was in the gifted program. After the homicide, Miles Corwin decides to write this book because we wanted to write not only about gangbangers but also about other children who wanted to succeed and had to overcome obstacles in life. He wrote about the problems that occurred in inner-city high schools. He followed a group of seniors that were in a gifted program at Crenshaw high school in Los Angeles. Students who had many problems in life, who were abandoned and abused by

There are many perspectives and definitions on art, an abstract topic. In the world of books, nothing is considered art unless the novel can engage the readers through the author's use of emotions and stylistic syntax. Using Groen's essay “Books Still Win” tragic realism is seen in Joshua Ferris' novel “Then We Came to the End.” Tragic realism is evident in Ferris' novel through the fact there is both good and bad within a person, that life improves with struggles and that sadness is always evident.

Lohr designs a pleasing effect of graphic images for the reader. “They liquefied ochre gathered from cliffs on the islands’ beaches and painted their faces in traditional white, orange, and yellow patterns passed down from their fathers.” For the “Achuar” article, Wallace also uses detailed images to create an aesthetically pleasing view for the readers. “Their huts are tall impressive structures approximately 25 feet high. The huts have roofs made from palm fronds. The floors are dirt. For the most part the homes are open on three sides so friends can come and go.” (Wallace). Both articles use literary description to enhance the reader’s imagery on the

Byerman argues that underlying aesthetic is the misreading’s of art and language without sufficient evidence. The evidence that Byerman gives, involves more emotion and the thoughts of a young man growing into an adult in the streets of Harlem. Byerman takes a look at the short Story without the thought of

Detailing any image is crucial in making the audience understand the message behind an image. Sternfeld uses this fact to give details about a particular criminal act that illustrated in his book. Details such as date, place and circumstances that lead to that crime are given for every image(s) (Luc Sante). The captions that accompany the images show that Sternfeld believes in presenting his images of crime using both images and wording. Understanding crime is not possible without the details about what may have lead to an action and the repercussions that followed after prosecution. These issues cannot be presented using images only and thus words are important if the audiences have to understand what the images depict (Vandermeulen and Veys

“One Art” is a villanelle filled with sad sentiments of encouragement towards accepting loss. Elizabeth Bishop uses her tone to pull emotions from the reader that could be confusion and disagreement. Her tone deeply impacts the reader in such a way that it causes him/her to seriously think of accepting her opinion and advice. The capturing way she uses her tone in her word choice shows the reader her natural inflexion when she speaks. The tone of her work even affects her characterization. In “One Art,” Elizabeth Bishop uses tone to convey a character of false casualty, while also using it to emphasize the very heavy impact of her diction.

When we think of the police, we normally think of the brave men and women out on the street, enforcing the law, catching criminals, helping out the public in cases of emergency and making us feel safe in general. Most of the Police in most of the world is like that which is a good thing, However in the United States of America the police here are a bit more ruthless. Most of the police officers are very nice people and they really do want to help out in their community, but unfortunately there are some bad and corrupt cops in the system that will break the law and do some bad things. In the Modern world most bad cops are seen as racist and trigger happy. They don’t kill for fun of course but whenever they feel threatened they are trained to feel as though they need to take down their target since they are taught to make sure they don’t do something that will end up killing them. While nobody is at fault with these cases it is unfortunate that it does happen. Thankfully most of those cops are not as bad as the actual corrupted ones where they do business with drug lords and take their money just so that the criminals don’t get ratted out and so that they can continue their business. While there are some organizations that are corrupted the people in America do have power and a decent morality to do something about it. There are many organizations and cases that happened in the supreme court that has changed how the police behave and act when they are out on the
