signs that have changed over time

This sign is the African symbol for perseverance. This was meant to represent Hale’s dedication to saving Salem. Both in the beginning and end of the story, whether it was to rid the province of witchcraft, or to uproot the filthy liars responsible for so many innocents’ deaths. Some good examples of this symbol’s significance can be found on pages 844 to 847, and 886 to 887.

The poem conveys a cyclical rhythm giving the poem an ebb and flow through the continued use of anaphora of the word “Thanks,” and the physical structure of the stanzas (1). This

The soldiers who had attended the war were shown to have died brutally, like “cattle”, yet when reaching the home front, it is seen that they are laid to rest in a much more civil and dignified manner. The concept of this can be seen as an extended metaphor throughout the entire poem, with the battle front seen as a world filled with violence, fear and destruction, where as the home front is perceived as a place marked by order and ritual, a civilized world. The second sonnet opens with “What candles may be held to speed them all?”, invoking a more softer and compassionate tone towards the audience, more specifically through Owen’s use of a rhetorical question. It captures the readers’ attention, engaging them to feel empathetic and notice the shift of energy from anger and bitterness to a sadder and more somber tone. Owen’s use of descriptive language, as simple as it seems, such as ‘boys’ and ‘girls’ provokes the audience to view the horrors of the war as if they had been placed onto children, because in reality the ‘men; who had signed themselves into war to fight in glory for their country had really only just been boys themselves.

In the second stanza the distinctive experience of power is present. The use of the technique of imagery and emotive words “to pluck them from the shallows and bury them in burrows’ tells us that the soldiers were strong, loyal and had enough power within a degree to assist fellow soldiers. The use of personification to create sound “sob and clubbing of the gunfire” This leads the audience to understand what the soldiers were up against without even directly saying it. The imagery visually shows the scene in their

Passage 1 shows a young soldiers view on war. Its shows the view of how from war you can reach maturity. He goes from a boy who brags about war to someone who has reached enlightenment. He sees his action during battle as a betrayal but he comes to terms with it. “Followed by the somber phantom of desertion in the fields.”(Line 3) “...Put the sin at a distance ….his eyes seemed to open to some new ways”. (Line 6) He uses words such as “tranquility” and “sturdy” to show how the soldier has matured into a man. The author’s use of diction is a guide through the characters growth.

Over time, language changes over time. It can get shorter and the use of slang will get more popular. Slang is used to make a sentence more understandable or to shorten a phrase. There are many advantages to using nonstandard language when speaking and writing, but there are also many disadvantages. Using nonstandard language can also change on how effective your communication with someone can be.

The first of Sassoon poems “In an Underground Dressing Station” is about the pain and suffering there was during the time. There is a reason the author did not specify what country this man belonged to. This poem was about one person, but no matter what country they were fighting for, so many people went through this pain. The next poem “Battalion-Relief” also showed how even in these beautiful towns, they faced the terror of artillery and heard distant gun fire everywhere they marched. The soldiers were stuck in this extended nightmare with nothing to do but following order to their almost inevitable demise.

causes the poem to flow, and thus lightens up the dark and serious issue of war. The lines "But ranged as infantry, And staring face to face, I shot at him as he at me, And killed him in his place." are easy to read; however, their meaning is extremely

This poem is considered a dramatic monologue-specific situation for its use of voice. In the first stanza we learn that the soldier is speaking to his love; we know this because of the title and the intimate tone. This tone is expressed by the use of imagery in “When I

In this Video “Do Elders know Modern Slang?” The Elders reaction to learning the slang is as normal as you would think it to be, as if you just heard someone speech Spanish, but you the only word in Spanish that you know is “Hola”. The Elders act the same way with the slang words. For example The Elders understood The Netflix part of “Netflix and Chill”, but didn’t understand “The Chill” part. They thought it meant to just hangout or maybe watch a movies, not what it actually means which is to “Hook up”. The Elders didn’t understand that the slang is used in both types of ways, good or bad just depending on what type of slang word you are using or how you are using it in a sentence.

‘They’ is a poem where Sassoon makes use of direct speech. This direct speech however is used in Sassoon’s favour to highlight the irony he wants to invoke; the hypocrisy of the church. When the bishop tries to justify war, the boys reply with the horrors of it. There is contrast between the heroic assumptions of the bishop and the soldiers’ reality of war portrayed by the ‘boys’ which undermines the bishop’s statement. Such comments made by these ‘boys’ which represent the soldiers are comments on other soldiers who ‘lost both his legs’, ‘stone blind’ and ‘shot through the lungs’. This type of battlefield imagery elicits pity for the soldiers. Meanwhile, the last line stated by the bishop points out the hypocrisy of the bishop with irony and satire. The poem shows pity for both the soldiers while also provoking pity from the reader in the fact that people believe the bishops who prompt men to go to war in the name of

The first stanza connotes a slight sense structure as the phrase “ and his buddies did too” is repeated after stating each action the soldier does. Moreover, the lines themselves are structured in such a way that suggests a deliberate organized form- especially in comparison to how the rest of the poem is written. Most interesting about the
