Module 5 Paragraph And Summary

In the book All Quiet on the Western Front Erich Maria Remarque uses literary devices such as metaphors, similes, and imagery to help the reader have a better understanding of what he went through in the war. On page 70 the recruits are getting attacked by bombs and deadly gas. When Paul is talking about being bombed and having to use gas masks to breath he says “I climb out over the edge of the shell-hole. In the dirty twilight lies a leg torn clean off; the boot is quite whole,”(Remarque 70). This piece of text is an example of imagery because Remarque describes a very detailed picture of how graphic and traumatizing it was to be in the war. It is very disturbing to look around and see bloody body parts everywhere, but Remarque does a good

The next stylistic device is personification. By definition personification is to think of or represent as having human qualities or life. Woolf applies this device to

However, a poem could be written without personification and still be great. In this poem the speaker states, “season when the young buttercups and daisies climb up on the mulched bodies of their forebears to wave their flags in the parade” (1096). This stanza is personification because it talks about the buttercups and daisies climbing up. This line of the poem also reminds the reader of soldiers marching in a parade.

First, David’s mother gave him enough courage to keep hope his father would be all right after the Nazis arrested him. Because their own house was no longer safe from Nazi invasion, David’s family was staying with friends. However,

For instance, “Those boats are restless” (Woodford). This is a use of personification because boats cannot be restless. Another example of personification is “...someday I will let my ships taste freedom” (Woodford). In the short story, Uncle Timothy says that he wants his ships to “taste freedom”. This use of personification is trying to say that the ships are always tied up and not used.

Cable tells Tally, “’Then I’ll make you a promise too, Tally Youngblood. Until you help us, to the very best of your ability, you will never be pretty” (Loc 1309). After hearing this, Tally reluctantly agrees to help Dr. Cable find Shay. This moment is important because it symbolizes weakness and selfishness in human nature. Sometimes, we are willing to go against someone we love if it benefits ourselves. Tally wants to be perfect so badly that she is willing to turn her friend in to the authorities to get the operation she wants.

Tally must figure herself out before she undergoes surgery at the age of sixteen to become “pretty”: or what is so called pretty. Tally and Peris are the best of friends, but when Peris becomes pretty, Tally is left to figure out how to survive without anyone to talk to. A wait of three months until Tally finally would get the surgery to become pretty. Throughout this wait, Tally meets a girl named Shay while sneaking out to New Pretty Town, where

Shay, her new best friend, decides to run away to a place where being ugly doesn't really matter to anyone. “ it’s not like here, Tally. They don't separate everyone , uglies from pretties, new and middle and late. And you can leave whenever you want, go anywhere you want.” The relationship that Tally had with Shay was strong, but took the place of the surgery and Tally was willing to turn shay in.

I find it interesting that this section is the only one in the poem in which the imagery is focused on sound only. The main focus of imagery in “Circe” focuses on visual imagery. Other sound imagery can be found throughout the poem, but only in single instances mixed with other imagery types.

The way the narrator uses an abundance of imagery throughout this story, imagery is heavy when the narrator

One of the more prominent examples he used was, “At dark, shadowy intersections in Chicago, I could cross in front of a car stopped at a traffic light and elicit the thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk of the driver-black, white, male, or female-hammering down the door locks.” (pg. 241). In just that statement, Brent tells how he could hear four “thunks”, he used four to signify that every person by a door would lock it; and he also uses the sense of sight when he said it was a, “dark, shadowy intersection”. Another example of when Brent has used imagery was when he explained how women present themselves when walking alone at night he said that, “… they forge ahead as though bracing themselves against being tackled,” (pg.

Throughout the Chrysalids we see David's heroic attributes. By taking risks to save others and never thinking about how a decision may affect him. In the first few chapters we see David's first act of heroism by the way he protects the less fortunate Sophie from the demanding Alan. David takes the risk of seeing Sophie on a daily basis but making sure to never tell a soul of her minute deviation. When

This quote reminded me of an eager teenager who is foolish enough to do anything to catch her crush’s attention. Peris, being Tally’s best friend, catches her awareness after he becomes a pretty. The way Tally describes Peris, from his sparkling green eyes to his flawless skin makes it crystal clear that Peris has her heart. When I got the clue Tally had a crush on him, I became furious. All their life, from childhood to teenage years, Tally and Peris were close friends. Therefore, they always had a chance to step up their relationship, but even then Tally showed no interest. Then, boom! Once Peris goes through a procedure that changes everything about the way he looks, to meet their societal standards to be “pretty”, Tally has her heart taken.

Imagery is a strong element that helps portray a lot of internal feelings for the audience to fathom with, thus creating an experience that the audience can enjoy. Imagery is the language represented by sense experience and a literary device that helps create a mental picture for the reader to understand what the writer is trying to say to the audience (Johnson, Arp 779). The following is the poem by Langston Hughes: “The calm,/Cool face of the river/Asked me for a kiss.” (Hughes 1-3) When examining the poem, “Suicide’s Note”, it is full of imagery with only three lines present. The

Carl is taking the Marvin and Malachi to Mark’s house and Malachi said he is making them watch porn. Since then, Malachi is groping men penises, stripping, and he humped and made sex noises on Don (grandfather) leg. Mark has previous charges of molestation of young children and he also went to jail for killing his father. Mark gives grandma Karl money when the children comes over. It’s like he is paying grandma to bring the children. The children might stay a week or on the weekends. Grandma does not stay with the children, she drops them off and go smoke. Grandma is aware of what Malachi said, she was the who brought it to the reporter’s attention. Grandma acted like the children were going to stop going to Marks but they did
