Through this masterful writing, Cook has recreated a mental picture of the dark spy and war dominated period of the early twentieth century, with great detail. The narration singles out many aspects of this period. Some of these include the characteristic dialogues that dominated the
President Roosevelt used pathos in his speech to elicit emotional responses by Congress and the American people. He showed obvious emotions of anger and sadness, but appealed to the pride of the nation to galvanize the people to take part in the massive and long-term effort to respond to the attack and ultimately defeat the Nation of Japan. He was not going to let Japan get away with what they had done to our great nation. Attacking Pearl Harbor, led the United States immediately into war with Japan through the declaration of war by Congress only moments after the conclusion of the speech and only a few days later into the larger conflict, World War II, with a declaration of war with Japan’s ally, Germany. Roosevelt showed passion,
This title is not to be read as a coherent sentence but as a list of titles bequeathed upon groups of attendees at Smithtown Central Junior &High School. (I couldn’t figure out how to get the word Hippy in there.) I didn’t belong to any of these clubs, as many of us didn’t, but that’s what made these groups of kids stand out. They were the minority separate from the majority. Many just wanted to belong and be accepted and to be recognized as most kids yearned for.
With a racing heart and fearful thoughts, the same person sits limply tied up in a bloody cell and nervously in a lavishly decorated one, vulnerable and defenseless to their captors. Elizabeth Wein’s historical fiction Code Name Verity puts the reader in the position of the captive, a Scottish spy who delineates on her surroundings from a hazardous position. Although behind enemy lines, she manages to keep her impending death on hold. This protagonist does so by transforming a report forced upon her into an extravagant story, incorporating herself as a character. As a result, she acquires and conjures numerous nicknames for herself in the story and out.
A significant theme that Lynn Hunt explores is representational culture. Specifically, how the family and individual members of the family are depicted through the arts and literature in the advent of the printing revolution. This is a broader theme explored throughout the monograph. Representations of the fallen King, the Band of Brothers, and the Bad Mother through the despised Marie Antoinette. While this is not the main theme of the book, it gives the reader a good idea about the pervading political climate of 18th century France.
Alexander Dumas’ 1844 adventure novel confronts themes of revolution in Bonapartist France- as the royalists emerge, so does a new wave of entangled youth, including Edmond Dantes, at only nineteen years of age, when he is imprisoned for treason. Dantes, at this exposition to the plot, is a hopeful ingénue, and, despite wrongful captivity, a resilient personage. As the book actualizes, Dantes is portrayed as a young man just beginning his life. As he himself says when attempting to prove his innocence to Monsieur Villefort, the chief Magistrate, “I’m only nineteen, as I’ve already told you, and I know very little,” (25).
In the novel A Hero of Our Time by Mikhael Lermontov, translated by Dimitri and Vladmir Nabakov, Lermontov highlights the novels protagonist, Pechorin, as a hero by juxtaposing him with minor characters who accentuate his superiority. Throughout the work we find foil characters that seem to resemble Pechorin through their actions, but rather represent a set of cultural vices applicable to 19th century Russia, that Pechorin seems immune to. These conventional individuals are often faced with the same challenges as Pechorin, but fail to succeed him in their task due to their critical flaws. When these approaches are compared to Pechorin’s approach, Pechorin’s superiority shines. Despite the fact that Pechorin lacks any stereotypical indicators of heroism, his successful evasion of the flaws that bring his doubles down, allows him to be viewed as a hero in comparison.
(King, 263). The use of words like victim, horrors, heavy with the fatigue, are all there to make the
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.
The next song is “피 땀 눈물 or Blood Sweat & Tears”. It is a song about being so intoxicated with your own feelings again that you neglect yourself in the process. You are to 'high' on love and the desires that you end up having needs. This represent the new Dorian who, “A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure.
Acts of courage There comes a time in a person’s life where they find themselves in a position of having to make a selfless decision in order save another person. In the two stories “Beyond the Bayou” by Kate Chopin and “The Signal” by Vsevolod Mikhailovich, each displays great acts of courage. In the story “Beyond the Bayou”, Chopin illustrates how the main character, La Folle, saves her beloved Cheri by crossing the bayou in order to save him, of which she has not done so since she was traumatized as a child. La Folle experiences both physical and emotional pain since being traumatized. In the story “The Signal”, Mikhailovich illustrates how Seymon is faced with the impeding danger of a passenger train derailment, and how he reacts selflessly in order to save innocent lives.

This essay will examine the historical accuracy of the film Les Miserables in terms of the social, economic and political conditions in French society post French Revolution. The film Les Miserables depicts an extremely interesting time in French history (from about 1815-1832.) Even though the story line does not depict every detail and event that occurred during the time period as well as the fact that some aspects are dramatized for entertainment purposes, the film effectively spans thirty years of economic, political and social aspects of French Society. However it also manages to bring in references to the past, the French Revolution (1789-1799) and the impact it had on the society portrayed in the film.
Final Assignment of English Literature Reading BY YANG ZONGYOU, D01 “The False Gems”by the great writer Guy de Maupassant is a miracle that draws a delicate and precise image of France in the late 19th century. Written in an objective view, woven with sarcasm, this little piece of art reflects the truth of the society and humanity in its era without any obvious rhetoric, like a real old gem that shimmers constantly and gorgeously, leaving an ample space of ambiguity for readers to ponder over and over again. “The False Gems” seems to be objective, however, on the contrary, the plot of the story itself is a barrel of irony, in which the author 's opinion and emotion lies deeply — the genuine ones are found fake, while the false ones turn out to be real; knowing everything is not always good. Mrs. Lantin 's before-and-after contrary is ironic. At the very beginning of the story, everyone is convinced that Mrs. Lantin was a virtuous woman.
