Scotty Sire Analysis

Before listening to the opinion announcement of the Supreme Court in the case of Scott v. Harris my opinion was Deputy Timothy Scott did not violate the Fourth Amendment by using deadly force when he used his car to stop Victor Harris that led the police officers on a high speed chase. After listening to the oral arguments of the Supreme Court in the case of Scott v, Harris my opinion was parallel to the U. S. Supreme Court’s opinion. I went in favor of the petitioner, police officer Timothy Scott. Listening to the arguments in this case I gathered that the officer was led into a high speed chase with the respondent Victor Harris. The Supreme Court reversed the ruling of the Eleventh Circuit stating his actions did not violate the Fourth Amendment.

To begin with, “Brown Eyed Girl” uses figurative language. For instance, symbolism is used at the beginning of the song. The line “Days when the rains came” is a symbol for the dark days in a relationship. Next, symbolism is used in the second stanza. The day “Tuesday” is symbolic because Tuesday goes by “so slow” but he asks where it went as if it flew by. Then, a metaphor is used in the third stanza. The metaphor “playing a new game” is talking about the fun and new things in their life. In addition, a hyperbole is presented in the middle of the song. The hyperbole “hide behind a rainbows wall” shows they have

This theme is brought through the song by showing multiple literary devices. Such as “I'm the one at sail, I’m the master of my sea”. This metaphor shows the realization and empowerment that oneself can give in a depressing situation. This simile “Falling like ashes to the ground, Hoping my feelings they would drown” compares his feeling of sadness and depression to ashes, and wanting them to drown and vanish, from his life. This line, “All the hate that you’ve heard has turned your spirit to a dove” explains how all of the hate that he has experienced and gone through has turned his feelings around, and decided to look on the bright side of things. Personally I think this is a great

The introduction of the poem is written from the viewpoint of a dream and Doty is the speaker of the poem. This shows how Doty attempts to romanticize even the worst moments in his life. It could also be a sign of denial. If he only dreams that Wally is sick, when he wakes up he will be relieved. However, if Wally is sick while he is awake, then sleep is his

If Johnny would have stayed when he went back into the Meany’s home for the hat, i feel the things Owen's mother would have said kinda go like this. I'm sorry about your poor mother, I feel bad for your loss and Owen’s. I wasn't there for Owen like she was, i don't talk much because the burden of not being his mother hurts me. Owen is a good kid and very bright, he needs people like you and your mother in his life, right now he only has you. Please be there for him johnny he needs a good friend, he might seem strong but he needs a good friend. I also feel bad because he doesn’t get very many things besides his small valuables like the armadillo. He may not have many items of money value but he is very knowledgeable about his faith and schooling.

These allusions contribute to the continuation of the poet’s story and a sense of moving forward. Since the poet is moving out of the house, the second stanza develops the story along with various famous landmarks to help the readers imagine the journey to the current house. When the poet writes, “Instead we went to North Dakota, then up to Winnipeg / to visit the cousins…Going onto Palo Alto...Arriving on Labor Day, Grace Slick’s concert / spilling into the new backyard… Our first night in the house, and not our last. / Johnny come lately, there’s a new kid in town,” (36-52) the readers are able to envision the journey the poet took to arrive at their current house. The songs correlate to the imagery according to the poet’s memories. These songs amplify the emotions that the readers are able to further sense from the poem. These allusions, alongside with songs create a new memory into the new

As I have shown time and time again Marc Change seems not to be able to keep his story straight.

The song, "Funny The Way It Is" by Dave Mattews Band uses many different poetic devices to help aid in the deeper meaning of the poem. The poem is ultimately a paradox, with every statement being contradicted. The singer starts off by rhyming the first to lines to bring emphasis to a happy start. This effects makes the next line two lines, which are contradictory, even stronger. He uses examples of personification and simile, such as ,"somebody's heart is broken."[line12] and "the way your mouth feels in your lover's kiss like a pretty bird on a breeze [line 13/14] to help create a powerful understanding of the emotions involved. The singer uses juxtaposition throughout the poem in lines such as, "on a soldier's last breath, his baby's being

To a majority of people on this Earth, the name John Ippy McLeod means nothing. It’s probably just your average guy, but long story short; John Ippy McLeod is not your average guy. Within the walls of Havelock High School, Mr. McLeod is a superhero. He teaches the hardest sophomore biology class, instructs the leadership class, and advises the student council.

Bonny Doon currently has an enviable position in the 1990’s Californian wine-producing industry. The company has successfully differentiated itself from its competition and achieved a first mover advantage in terms of selling “undervalued” wines. However, due to increased rivalry and a changing and increasingly challenging market,

Scott Martelle, an editorial writer for the LA Times. Besides, Martelle being the editorial writer for the LA Times, he is also the co founder of the Journalism Shop, which is a shop to help freelance writers be assigned with writing pieces. In Martelle’s recent writings for the LA Times he goes on to mention the execution of a guy named Ronald Smith. In Martelle’s piece he went into great depth about how Smith was executed. He was executed by lethal injection, but it was not a pretty picture to witness or go through. The reason for Smith’s execution was because he murdered a store’s clerk the name of Casey Wilson in 1994. In result of that he was put to death on Thursday night. After being in prison for life for 22 years. Some would say that the act was simply inhumane while others may disagree with that particular claim.

Along with this, a vast majority of the rhymed words are negative. He uses negative words to show his slight anger to society because he feels that the rest of the world has to know what they are doing. This ties into “pain” words. Words such as “vile, lies, tortured” are used throughout this piece, and it shows that there is also a sadness in Dunbar’s tone.

    The rhyme scheme that is portrayed in the poem is ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH and so on. The meaning of this rhyme scheme is every other line rhyme with one another. For example, line one and three rhyme with each other because line 1 ends with brother and line three ends with mothers and that rhyme with each other. Also, line 2 ends with years and line four end with tears and those two rhyme with one another. This poem is literal because it is straightforward with what is going on the poem from the title and throughout the poetry. The poem is literal with explaining that there are children who are going through a depressed time because they are forced to do hard work and believe that death is the best way out. Child labor is causing the children to not live their life as a kid instead as adult with all the hard work they have to do.

This poem is spoken through a general rhyme scheme known as alternate rhyme. It is utilized to begin a visual and continue the experience of the slaves in the following the lines. Harper’s poem gives this distraught experience a vivid imagination to the reader by describing the situation as it were to affect the reader; something the reader could relate to in their kindred but would dread happen. “And mothers stood, with streaming eyes,And saw their dearest children sold;” (lines 5-6) the loss of a parent or separation of a family is something no one should go through, and it is what Harper does to expose a sentimental trigger between the slaves and the reader. The alternate rhyme continues to be a literal representation of what the poem
