The First Literary Devices

In Middlemarch, George Eliot utilizes several literary devices to portray her two characters and their complex relationship that reveals their marriage is dominated by the husband who objectifies his wife into silence. Throughout the passage, Eliot makes it clear that Rosamond and Tertius Lydgate are in an uneven relationship, considering Tertius refuses to listen to his wife who seems to only have his best interest at heart, yet still, he continues to yell at her for thinking she knows what is best for him. With the help of details, Tertius’s critical tone, and imagery, Eliot is able to showcase how complex their relationship is when it comes to Rosamond giving her opinions and ideas, just to be casted to the side.

“The Golden Speech” was given by Queen Elizabeth I of England in 1601 to the Members of the Commons and the Speaker in the Palace Council Chamber. It was initially supposed to be addressing economic concerns. Queen Elizabeth I converted England back to Protestant after she gained the throne from her half-sister, Mary I. This caused hostility between Spain, which was a Roman Catholic country and England. Queen Elizabeth started to put most of her efforts into raising funds which would prepare England for when the Spanish Army came. One of her efforts was to revoke monopolies from forming in order to save money to be able to defeat the Spanish. This was supposed to be the point of “The Golden Speech” but it turned into her farewell speech

The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien expresses the importance of a story-truth, as opposed to a happening-truth by use of literary elements in his writing. The novel is about war and the guilt it leaves on everyone involved in the war.

The three literary devices he uses to express this are diction, imagery, juxtaposition, and hyperbole. All of these elements allow the reader to identify emotion that is expressed in each story, as though that were the complete truth.

This is a song called "Word To Spread" I have been piecing together over the past 3 years. Each layer was recorded live in the locations you can see in the footage. It was filmed on many different things from an iPhone to a quality SLR. The audio was recorded on many different mics with many different devices in many different environments as you can hear. It's not the best mix, some of the footage is wobbly and it took me a long time to get all the audio to match but it reminds me of some great places, great times and legendary people. Thanks to everyone who offered me a couch or a camera hand over the years.

There are many literary devices were used in this vignette, but the one stands out the most is repetition, a lot of phrases and words are being repeated in this vignette. The one that helps me understand the lady in this vignette better is after when the lady hear her son singing the Pepsi commercial.

There were rumors about why we can’t never see that lady outside of the house, however they are just rumors, the real reason is because she feels offended when listening to that language. Her reaction toward her son singing the Pepsi commercial

The gate, ladder and door symbolize a solution a person can have for an obstacle in order to reach your everyday goal in life, which in this poem the obstacle would be the wall and the goal would be to reach the other side. Literal imagery could be that there is literally a way around a wall. Figurative can be overcoming obstacles that create problems for you or are preventing you from reaching a goal. The helicopters, rockets and bombs suggest death, devastation and sheer destruction, as well as how only one blast at one instance can ruin all that an individual has worked for.

In the The Time Machine by H. G. Wells, the Time Traveller travels to the year 802,701 and finds a divided world between a beautiful but simple race called the Eloi. He explores the world and when he comes back to where he left his time machine, and finds that it is gone. At first, he blames the Eloi, but he finds another race of disgusting humanoids that live underground and feast upon the Eloi called the Morlocks. He theorizes that the Eloi were a part of the upper class while the Morlocks were the working class, and they split after years of separation. The Time Traveller saves one of the Eloi named Weena from drowning and she becomes his companion, but she later dies while the Time Traveller is fighting off the Morlocks.

Hope, science, and disappointment are all common tones that Wells uses to influence the reader’s emotions at different times in the story.

One of the sweet comforts in life is curling up in a favorite chair with a short story that will carry us away from our everyday lives for an hour or two. On rare occasions, we find a tale that mirrors real life in such a way that we are strangely comforted by the normalcy reflected in the words.

This style of writing has such a mass appeal because the “characters

Now that the semester is coming to an end and we have gone through five different theories, I have to say that each one is important for college students to learn. Literary theories are a great tool to because without them most students will not be able to fully analyze or even dissect the college level reading they have to do for class. Reason why, is because each one of the five theories plays a role in your everyday reading.
