The Stylistic Analysis of Anthony in Blue Alsatia

They strengthen his overall thesis and main idea a lot because he explains everything. For example, when he was telling how Pretty Girl looked when his mom and brother finally got her, he explained “Her hips were bad, which was probably why she was discarded in the first place, and her teeth were worn down. Her eyes were clouded. But they fed her, and gave her water, and bathed her in burnt motor oil, the way my people have been curing the mange for generations.” I could imagine everything he said. For another example, I could visualize the scene where he said, “A month later I pulled into the driveway to see a beautiful white German shepherd standing watch at the front of the house.” I could imagine seeing the white German shepherd. The authors overall details painted a picture of how the dog looked at first compared to how the nurturement from the narrator’s mother and brother helped nourish the dog before he

In this poem, symbolism is used to help reader’s find deeper meaning in the little things included and show that everything comes back to the father’s fear of the child he adores growing older and more independent. “In a room full of books in a world of stories, he can recall not one, and soon he thinks the boy will give up on his father.” This sentence makes a reader assume that the story the five year old so

Each part was broken up after a noticeable shift and atmospheric changes in the poem. The first part of the poem is during “Sad is the man...with one”(Ln 1-2), and repeats again at “In a room...on his father”(Ln 6-9). These lines create a shift into a narrative stage. It puts a pause on the poem to introduce or explain the scene in the poem. The narrative is important because it shows the point of view of the poem. The second shift is created with “Already the man...should never disappoint”(Ln 10-18). This shift is when the father is thinking about his fears and desires, to be more blunt, the father’s fantasies. It creates an unrealistic tone to the poem an shows the father’s dismay when he cannot remember a story for his son. The last shift begins with “His five-year-old...scratches his ear”(Ln 3-5), and ends with “But the boy...up to silence”(Ln 19-23). This shift bring the poem into reality. In fact the poem states that the “emotional rather than logical equation”(Ln 20) is where most people get confused and frustrated at the world. The poem also states the conflict of fantasy and reality. This conflict is what creates the the multiple shifts and the complicated relationship between the father and the

Into this atmosphere of spiritual paralysis the boy bears, with blind hopes and romantic dreams, his encounter with first love. In the face of ugly, drab reality-"amid the curses of laborers," "jostled by drunken men and bargaining women"-he carries his aunt's parcels as she shops in the market place, imagining that he bears, not parcels, but a "chalice through a throng of foes." The "noises converged in a single sensation of life" and in a blending of Romantic and Christian symbols he transforms in his mind a perfectly ordinary girl into an enchanted princess: untouchable, promising, saintly. Setting in this scene depicts the harsh, dirty reality of life which the boy blindly ignores. The contrast between the real and the boy's dreams is ironically drawn and clearly foreshadows the boy's inability to keep the dream, to remain blind.

Along in with the author’s use of metaphors is the frequent use of imagery. In this reading, it is simple to envision the scenes as the different scenarios are explained and the audience can easily picture Staples in the places he is describing and also the people he comes across. Perhaps the most powerful and memorable imagery is provided in the author’s description of people’s different reactions and faces when they come into contact with him. Actions speak volumes and an immediate change of facial expression is possibly one of the

. What narrative structure does the author use to tell the story? John Boyne uses imagery in his book.

The structure and language of the novel are determined by Christopher’s interests and perceptions of reality. This is demonstrated through the narrative voice, which is created through the use of short sentences, concrete language and sequential statements like when Christopher was interrogated and was questioned by the police on Wellington’s death “Did you kill the dog?” “No”. Also the repetition of dialogue within the extract such as “and I said”, “and she/he said”, “yes” and “no” between Siobhan and Christopher demonstrates his way of thinking and conveying facts through answering with simple answers and sequential statements. Through the structure and language of the novel it helps the audience to understand Christopher’s actions when they were difficult to understand, it allows the responder to sympathize with him with his difficulty. It allows the responder to think about their own experiences which helps them to see a person with complex thoughts. It also allows the responder to see events from his perspective as the audience is given the privilege of his insights, thoughts and feelings as the responder sees the world in a way that is different to the way we normally perceive it. Through this we are able to engage with him as a real person and to get a view into a way of thinking that we wouldn’t normally have access

The strategies that the author tried to present description of the character by saying that he just explain how well he did in school and the studies that he joined. Next the author, tells us about being the hospital and Indian restaurant. The author is trying to show that he wants to engage audience by giving away hints of his struggles so he can make it sound more interesting. Some passages are found in chapter one and page three “my suffering left me sad and gloomy”, “[His] majors were religious studies and zoology”, and “[His] life is like a memento mori painting from European art: there is always a grinning skull at [his] side to remind me…’” (Martel, 5). In these two verses, it shows the narration of how the main character struggled by not giving up and still maintained to get his education.

Overall, the syntax in the novel is able to tie all of the literary elements together to create a story that captivates the

Few authors in history have had an impact that has lasted beyond their own time. I was born on the 29th of November in 1898 and died on the 22nd of November 1963 not quite living until my sixty-fifth birthday (“About C.S. Lewis” 1), and during my life, I earned somehow the right to be remembered like few authors have gotten he chance to do. Although, I do not know how I came to earn that. I grew up in Belfast, Ireland surrounded by the plains to Flora and August Hamilton (About 1). My childhood was often filled with fantasy as my brothers and I wished for greater adventures. I found this adventure in some ways when World War I was on the rise and I participated in the British army (About 2). Later in life, I attended Oxford and had

7. The setting is used as a reflection of the woman's inner emotions. The sun shines and birds sing with no sign of gloom because she is not actually mourning as she thinks to herself. The lack of sorrow from the woman cause the setting to seem even more lovely to her as she realizes she is feeling joy. The details used by the writer portray a sense of well being and positivity. The woman reaches out towards the window as if her joy is tangible, this is a vey important

Throughout the entirety of his speech to people, Anthony snuck in many devices to sway the people of Rome onto his side. Anthony would always get around to telling a story about Caesar and at the end of that, he would add a question, which he does not want the crowd to answer, thus making it a rhetorical question. The purpose for asking a rhetorical question is to make people rethink themselves or their views and motives; as is the same for Anthony, who is trying to provide insight to Brutus’s reasoning in the killing Caesar and depict it as misconstrued. Brutus says to the people that he had slain Caesar due to his “ambitions” but, Anthony wants the people to rethink that opinion by listing examples of Caesar being a heroic leader of the people,

He transitions the tone of the poem from one of despair and hopelessness to one of encouragement which adds a realistic effect to the poem while still encouraging the reader. There is a thin line between being completely discouraging and being realistic; the speaker in the story seems to keep the perfect balance between these two lines. With the skillfully organized tone, the author helps the reader better understand the mood of the story as well as the difficult
