Devils are angry and feisty. He is shown to have these traits when he says “This, by his voice, should be a Montague. — Fetch me my rapier, boy. ”(1:5:62) he hears a voice that sounds like his enemy and immediately wants to fight him.
He uses a metaphor, hyperbole, and the appeal
As Johnson and Munn stated, “Mother Leeds is said to have had as many as 12 children before the devil, which lets some say that she cursed it from dire straits”(1). There are many other origins of the Devil such as, “A young woman would not give food to a begging gypsy and the gypsy cursed her so that her first child would become a devil”(Johnson and Munn 1).
He was tall, covered in soot, and had red eyes. In the Daniel Webster version, the devil looks like a normal
I saw Sarah Good with the Devil! I saw Goody Osburn with the Devil! I saw Bridget Bishop with the Devil pg 48;Act One) She also says many other names
Since he is like us all, a human, his message was being spread like wildfire. The Devil and Walker uses the persuasive technique, Testimonial. “The black man told him of great sums of money buried by Kidd”(PG 115). According to this, the black man was persuading Tom Walker to sell his soul for the buried treasure. To help clarify, the Devil would be seen more as a dealer and trickster rather than the evil mastermind portrayed today.
The Devil can be beautiful, after all, he was God’s favorite. Looks can be immensely deceiving, even the Bible has many verses about how not everything is really what it seems to be, such as, 1 John 4:1, Matthew 24:4, 2 Corinthians 11:14, and the ever so famous, Genesis 3:4. A warning that can be seen in both, “Young Goodman Brown,” by Nathaniel Hawthorne and “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” by Joyce Carol Oates, is that not everything that is charming is impeachable. “No wonder, for even Satan masquerades himself as an angel of light,” 2 Corinthians 11: 14.
"The devil is precise; the marks of his
In the book ‘Clap When You Land’ by Elizabeth Acevedo, Acevedo uses similes and hyperbolic to show the story's overall theme. In the story, we see two girls, Camino, and Yahaira, who live in different parts of the world yet share many similarities to one another ’s lives. Acevedo uses similes and hyperbole to show the recurring themes of each character. Acevedo uses a simile in this quote “I know he won't be leaving me or this sand alone/like a too-skinny cat who knows you have scraps/in one hand, and a smack in the other, I give him a wide berth” (Acevedo, 51), to show that Camino is being stalked by this creep El Cero and how it takes a toll on her mental health, this is seen later in the story when Camino says “I am not a mourning girl.
The Walt Disney Company, which was founded in 1923 by Walter Elias Disney, is still considered the king of entertainment that creates many interesting films, animations, books, toys, and theme parks. Even though there were several times of crisis from 1980 to 1983, due to the company's deteriorated financial performance as well as the lack of innovative ideas in the film division, Disney could still survive in the industry with the help of CEO Eisner's management skills. According to the article, “The Walt Disney Company: The Entertainment King,” Eisner increased the revenues from $1.65 billion to $25 billion by the end of 2000, making a 27% annual total return to shareholders during those 15 years. Certainly, Disney’s success could be achieved
Literary devices are what makes up any work. Every author has to incorporate their style into their work so that they can give the reader an idea on how to feel. It is manipulation actually, they use positive and negative reinforcement in their words to affect the readers judgement. In The Inferno by Dante Alighieri uses symbolism and diction to help the reader comprehend his work.
As written by Arthur Miller, “the Devil [works] again (...) just as he [works] within the Slav who is shocked at (...) a woman’s disrobing herself in a burlesque show. Our opposites are always robed in sexual sin, and it is from this unconscious conviction that demonology”. The Devil “gains both its attractive sensuality and its capacity to infuriate and frighten,” which displays the control he holds over the society in that he can lure in a pure soul, but frighten one as well
Iago is also called a devil by other characters in the play after he is found out to be the one who orchestrated Othello’s undoing. After Othello has realized he has been manipulated by Iago, he says “I look down towards [Iago’s] feet; but that 's a fable. / If that thou be 'st a devil, I cannot kill thee.” (5.2. ------).
One example of this in the reading was when he used this to describe the beauty and view of a horizon. He stated that so many people have come and go, limping on crutches or dieing, and were heroes from many wars. Then while stating the different wars, he uses this device to empathize the amount of people who came and went by listing the many wars with the conjunction or in between each one, such as, the Pacific or Europe or Korea or Vietnam or the Persian Gulf wars. A third use of a rhetorical device that I noticed throughout the reading was the author's use of euphemism. This is when the author substitutes a word for another that is more pleasant so that he or she does not come off as rude and can avoid conflict in with the readers of the story.
Another poetic device Williams utilizes is simile. A simile provides a comparing of two objects using the word like or as. Williams’s line “Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof” (Line 6), compares the audience to a room without a roof which is an unlimited feeling of happiness. In addition, Williams uses alliteration in his song. Alliteration is the consonant sounds that recur in a line.
