Who is JC Penney in the landscape of retailers today? Is JC Penney a store of the future or a thing of the past? JC Penney stores started as the brainchild of James Cash Penney in 1902 in Kemmer, Wyoming. Originally, JC Penney stores were small, local storefronts offering a variety of merchandise.
Yolngu Boy is a film directed by Stephen Johnson, which explores the friendship between three adolescent Aboriginal men and the way each relates to the ancient cultural tradition. Friendship incorporates you having both duties and advantages, which are two vital factors of life with others. This is clearly shown in Stephen Johnson's Yolngu Boy between a companionship of three male aboriginals taking after their fantasy, which are named Milika, Lorrpu and Botj. Every one of the three of the companions have obligations and have benefited a couple times, yet did they all take after their duties equitably?
In the day and age of shopaholics and fashion trends changing every week, looking into the history of JcPenney, a retail giant, is long overdue. JcPenney was founded by James Cash Penney. Before opening his highly successful retail store, he first worked as a sales person for the Golden Rule Mercantile Company ("J.C. Penney Company,”). After three years as a salesman, the founder of the company and his partner promoted Mr. Penney to a manager and partner of the company. Ultimately, this prompted him to opening his own branch of Golden Rule with a cash only policy which bankers in the area were sure that his plan would fail.
Word play is a method of writing designed to retain the reader 's interest. Alliteration and the use of puns are two examples of a play on words. Scieszka uses alliteration in the phrases “group puke horror” and “puke-covered cat”. By using words that rhyme, the author keeps the reader laughing. The thematic message that is displayed throughout the story is clearly highlighted through the examples.
The poem “Woodchucks” by Maxine Kuman and the poem “The Fish” by Elizabeth Bishop give the reader two examples about how man interacts with nature. Charles Darwin wrote “the love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man”; it is clear that the narrator of one of the poems is much more noble than that of the narrator in the other poem. Not only do the narrators contrast each other in the two poems, the poems also differ in the theme, tone, and situation (Citr). The theme of the poem “Woodchucks” is no regard for the life of living creatures and death.
The formulistic construction and simplistic language echo a child’s understanding of the world, enhanced by the synecdoche “beak and claw”. Harwood’s repeated references to literal and figurative blindness through “daylight riddled eyes”, are metaphoric of the child’s ignorance. The child belief of “death clean and final not this obscene” is left reeling, highlighted through alliteration and grotesque imagery “stuff that dropped and dribbled through loose straw tangling in bowels”.
“His hard legs and yellow-nailed feet threshed slowly through the grass, not really walking, but boosting his shell along”(14). These symbols, likely personification or animal imagery, that induce pathos on the reader feel almost as if
The speaker struggled with the swamp. Oliver expresses this with the use of strong diction and full imagery. Powerful dark words are used, and the swamps omnipotent grasp is felt. Through the use of structure and enjambment the intensity and pace builds to the end where a hope is exposed
The imagery of the first poem greatly contrasts from the overall tone. In “A Barred Owl,” Richard Wilbur describes an owl frightening a child and waking her from her slumber. Wilbur sets the scene with dark imagery: “The warping night air brought the boom/ Of an owl’s voice into her darkened
Bradbury uses personification and imagery to create a vivid image of yellow giraffes, blue lions, and pink antelopes running along the walls of the nursery (2). The narrator tells us that, “The nursery floor was woven to resemble a crisp, cereal meadow. Over this ran aluminum roaches and iron crickets, and in the hot still air butterflies of delicate red tissue wavered among the sharp aroma of animal spoors!” (2). Here, we see a paradox of nature being used in this technologically advanced home.
While the history teacher in Collins’ poem lies to protect the students’ innocence, the parents in Wilbur’s poem lie to soothe the child’s fear. For instance, in the second stanza, Wilbur shifts to explain that language can either provide inspiration for fear, or “domesticate” fear, which emphasizes the power of language. However, As Wilbur explains, although the child’s fear is temporarily alleviated by the lie, the parent’s lie does nothing to actually eliminate the reality of the situation, as the owl is still outside the child’s window hunting. In this way, Wilbur emphasizes how comforting lies do little to actually solve problems, even though they may provide short-term consolation. In this way, both Wilbur and Colins explore similar themes of dishonesty.
By using these words he creates the feeling of childhood when tongue twisters were always trying to be said correctly. By making hard to say Seuss also creates a playful tone because the reader wants to try to say it both correctly and fast. By using “trees’ cheese,” Seuss adds to the playful tone because trees don’t have cheese; this is also paints a odd image in the reader’s head. Within each of these poems Seuss uses diction to establish an amusing sense to the poem, and makes the reader recall times of
Adventure and desire are common qualities in humans and Sarah Orne Jewett’s excerpt from “A White Heron” is no different. The heroine, Sylvia, a “small and silly” girl, is determined to do whatever it takes to know what can be seen from the highest point near her home. Jewett uses literary elements such as diction, imagery, and narrative pace to dramatize this “gray-eyed child” on her remarkable adventure. Word choice and imagery are necessary elements to put the reader in the mind of Sylvia as she embarks on her treacherous climb to the top of the world. Jewett is picturesque when describing Sylvia’s journey to the tip of one unconquered pine tree.

The agony the writer is feeling about his son 's death, as well as the hint of optimism through planting the tree is powerfully depicted through the devices of diction and imagery throughout the poem. In the first stanza the speaker describes the setting when planting the Sequoia; “Rain blacked the horizon, but cold winds kept it over the Pacific, / And the sky above us stayed the dull gray.” The speaker uses a lexicon of words such as “blackened”, “cold” and “dull gray” which all introduce a harsh and sorrowful tone to the poem. Pathetic fallacy is also used through the imagery of nature;
