This is especially seen in a passage that occurs when Moishe the Beadle returns from his horrific experience and is explaining what he went through. In the line, “Without passion or haste, they shot their prisoners, who were forced to approach the trench one by one and offer their necks,” (6) an image of forced submission is developed and helps readers comprehend the event fully. Readers can see the cruelty of the experience through Wiesel’s specific word choice, which consequently creates strong imagery of thousands of people with necks to the sides, ready to be killed.

The imagery in the Pipel's hanging scene develops the theme that witnessing and experiencing horror can cause a loss of faith by exhibiting how their God does not interfere with Earth's troubles. The Pipel's face is described as that of "an angel in distress" (Wiesel 63) and overall he is said to be a "sad-eyed angel" (Wiesel 64). This is different than how the other pipel's are described - the others are said to be exceptionally cruel, even more so than their elders. This is what makes the Pipel's death so impactful on Elie's faith - because the Pipel is like an angel, it is like Elie is watching his God be killed right before him. Before the Pipel's death, Elie had witnessed multiple other hangings.

Picture this… a light pinkish red sky covered in the sun’s orange light. Two white birds fly across the painted sunset as the world slowly starts to wake up. The waves of the beach slowly roll over each other and crash into the sand. Each grain of salt slowly dissolves and leaves a stain on the ground….. This vision was created in your head by using sensory imagery and appealing to the five senses.

Bradbury frequently includes sensory details to evoke images, which help to support the theme and its timelessness. Imagery emphasises and elicits certain tones and emotions, rendering it a useful technique to encourage readers to make connections to the scene and, on a broader perspective, the theme. Throughout Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury often describes the world as dreary and somber. For instance, he writes a detailed description when Montag returns to his bedroom, unaware of his dying wife. Bradbury notes that it was "cold," how Montag "could not breathe," the "dull clink" of the object, and the "featureless night" (10).

In some cases the author will use emotion to get a reaction out of the reader. For example, at the end of chapter four, the author was talking about the families of the airmen getting the letter saying that their son was Missing in Action. The author stated, “ She prayed that he was still alive, but she knew that this telegram was often followed by another” (Freeman,58). This statement makes the reader feel sad and feel bad for the families. This would then influence the reader to not like the Germans or the people that did this to the airmen.

are all ways a writer can make a reader feel a certain mood. Setting and diction were used in these stories. It’s interesting how an author can change the way someone thinks about something by using one of these elements in their writing. If the character's in “Back Roads” never came across the fascinating river or statute, the reader would most likely be very bored with the story. And if the character in “A Winter’s Drive” never found the box he was looking for, there wouldn’t be an anxious feeling at all because what would the reader have to look forward to in the story?

She deliberately juxtaposes the exalted vision of Mother Nature with the horrendous spectacle of a man-made monster and his ghastly deeds. This steep contrast sets reader thinking about the wisdom of departing away from the set norms of Nature. Mary's message to mankind is loud and clear; do not mess with Nature for your own good.

(page 112). Emotions like this enhance the feeling of the text and changes how things are inferred. Imagine the tone and mood are the center of the universe, the wonders of how things are created, or the juiciest part of a burger.

INTRODUCTION Every society that has law also has people who perform the role of a judge. They are officials who settle disputes by applying pre-existing standards and exercising judicial discretion when needed. Judges have a moral as well as a legal obligation to apply the law. A judge who believed in the truth of John Finnis’s natural law theory could not legitimately and consistently decide cases by applying Ronald Dworkin’s interpretive theory of law.
