Synecdoche

The Absence of Non-Communication in Waving Adieu, Adieu, Adieu A central preoccupation of Stevens’ Waving Adieu, Adieu, Adieu is the potency within actions. The poem explores the complications arising from actions to elucidate ambiguities within the simplest of gestures. This correlates to an essay by John W. Steen, who states, “the poem works through the possibilities for a zero degree of communication, trying to understand how, without ‘crying and shouting,’ or even ‘moving,’ the speaker could

Appearance Versus Reality in Anne Elliot's Persuasion In "Persuasion", we meet Anne Elliot, a bright, attractive, upper-class woman who fell in love with a sailor, Captain Frederick Wentworth. However, Anne was successfully persuaded to reject Wentworth by her aristocratic family and friends, who failed to recognize Wentworth's fine character and saw only his shallowness. Both Anne's sisters are extremely different to Anne. Mary is an over reactive hypochondriac. Elizabeth

poem and it also conveys the Duke's persistent dominance of the story. Language The Duke’s informality is shown as he has a discussion, about the matter of his late Duchess, with, possibly, a messenger. In lines 3-4, Browning successfully uses a synecdoche when the Duke describes the creation of the Duchess’ portrait artwork. He ingeniously states ‘Frà Pandolf’s hands’ as the subject of the sentence, which makes the reader think of the Duke, having a very egocentric mind set and that the he thinks

Poetic techniques displayed through the ideas, poetic features and style of the poet, reveal concepts which transcend time and place. In Gwen Harwood’s poem “the violets” her ability to interweave past and present emphasises the importance of memory in preserving ones journey though the universal experiences of growth, maturity and mortality. Similarly the poem “Mother who gave me life” demonstrates the memory of motherhood as a timeless quintessential part of the human condition. And lastly In Harwood’s

Not very many songs compare to Bob Dylan's timeless "Like A Rolling Stone". He explores areas that most conventional lyricists and composers do not touch. Bob tells us many of life's lessons in a mere six minutes and nine seconds. The divine Bob describes life before and after the fall from fame and fortune by telling the stories of multiple persons, speaking to them in conversation. The theme of this song is loss, whether is it loss of social status, money, or trust for humanity. The first stanza

Even After Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation black people were still not treated with the respect of a human being. The Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863, but still almost a hundred years, later black people were still separated from society. In the novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, Crooks and eight other people experience life on a farm through many different perspectives and lifestyles. Therefore social class, discrimination, and love are a big part of the story. In

Anzaldúa juxtaposes four dialects, namely, Spanish, Spanglish, Chicano and English in this 130-word poem. Consequently, she forces the reader to navigate in troubled waters. It opens with a Mexican saying, “a lo macho simón que sí”, which is another way of saying yeah. By doing so, the speaker’s identity is revealed to us. This is the first thing the reader should acknowledge, since it situates the speaker of the poem on the other side of the border: Mexico. Likewise, in line 10, “we struggled man”

techniques (e.g. intertextuality, actors breaking fourth wall) to remind audiences they are watching a cinematic artform (Dilley, 2017; TVTropes, n/a). With this in mind, Anderson’s style also comprises of: densely detailed mise-en-scène; material synecdoche (use of objects, locations and clothing to define personalities and relationships); family themes (as well as those listed in the introduction); distinctive camera language (symmetrical/centre-framed shots, extensive tracking shots, overhead shots

Idiomatic expressions are a type of informal English that have a meaning different from the meaning of the words in the expression. Here's an example of an idiomatic expression: Hold your tongue. This idiom does not actually mean that you should stick your fingers in your mouth and grab a hold of your tongue. It means that you should not talk.
