William Penn and Daniel Pastorius Letter’s In the two letters William Penn and Daniel Pastorius both had great points to get people to come to Pennsylvania. They included the great soil for harvest, abundance of food and crops, plenty of land for whatever the people may need. But on the other hand Daniel Pastorius also gave us an insight to how rough the travel will be . Which letter did the best job in promoting the settlement?
When Bill receives a letter demanding him to get rid of Virgil ( A black expert on homicide), and the mix of blacks and whites in Wells, he becomes furious. Through the descriptions the author uses such as, (BLAH BLAH BLAH *WRITE DESCRIPTIONS). We can see that this Bill Gillespie going full on rage. At first he tries to calm down. Here the author is splashing a little thought on how Bill and Virgil are really different.
He could imagine his deception of this town “nestled in a paper landscape,” (Collins 534). This image of the speaker shows the first sign of his delusional ideas of the people in his town. Collins create a connection between the speaker’s teacher teaching life and retired life in lines five and six of the poem. These connections are “ chalk dust flurrying down in winter, nights dark as a blackboard,” which compares images that the readers can picture.
Priestly depicts gender stereotypes to emphasise gender in a capitalistic, misogynistic and patriarchal society, in his play 'An Inspector Calls'. Priestly portrays women as emotional, commodified, materialistic and irresponsible to highlight the way that a misogynistic capitalist society operates. In a similar manner, Priestly presents men as arrogant, ambitious, dominant, and strong. By doing this Priestly aims to critique capitalism and the underlying implications and undercurrent of problems which capitalism brings to provoke a reaction in the audience to promote socialism. Priestly presents women as weak, emotional and irresponsible throughout the entire play by using Sheila to show the 'pink and intimate' safety bubble and facade which her family lives in.
Later on in the poem, I realize that in lines 15-19 the author provides a hint of a foreshadow event to the audience,
Lucentio disguises himself as a scholar from Rheims so he can win Bianca over. This adds to the plot by showing the man of the play aren’t one-dimensional and can think
Some classmates felt that his last shred of hope to keep him alive was his hatred for the party while others agreed that his love for Julia would help him from conforming back to the ideals of the party. When discussing what another classmates have found in class it has helped me to understand other points I might have overlooked in the novels we have read. I have improved from these activities by writing down other points and
Further, Phoebe's letter develops to show an archaic poetic diction in line 45 with 'whiles and eyne in line 48, and throughout her declaration for Ganymede, Phoebe uses many rhyming couplets with 'eyne' and 'mine' (48-9), 'effect' and 'aspect' (50-1), 'thee' and 'me' (54-5), 'mind' and 'kind' (56-7), and a personification in line 48 with 'if'. The devices suggest romantic gesture and inner feelings towards Ganymede. Silvius the 'poor shepherd' (4.3.62) as Celia called still debating about the 'chiding' or scolding words Rosalind mentioned before. However, Rosalind feel no 'pity' (63) for him, and her reply expressed an antimetabole in line 64 and 65. Also, Rosalind continues telling Silvius in an angry tone, that he will be the messenger
When Orlando says: "I take some joy to say you are [Rosalind], because I would be talking of her," in the film he grabs and holds him tightly with the arms around his waist and shows an impulse as if he desires to kiss Ganymede. Notice how in the picture below Orlando seems to be holding a female rather than Ganymede. Technically speaking, Ganymede is Rosalind disguised, but going back to the previously stated conflict, the viewer could easily forget that in this scene, Ganymede and Orlando act out Orlando's love for Rosalind. Nonetheless, Orlando does not know that Ganymede is Rosalind, and yet seems to feel physically attracted to Ganymede as if he liked him more than Rosalind as he claims. A piece of evidence that
Another literary technique that can be seen in this extract is the use of similes. This is most evident in the line “L’épouse de Ling était frêle comme un roseau, enfantine comme du lait, douce comme la salive, salée comme les larmes.” This line gives a descriptive description of Ling’s wife. It helps us understand what Ling’s wife is like by comparing her to different things such as “un roseau” or “du lait”. The author chose these words because they are something that we are familiar with so that we are able to grasp them quickly.
Similar to Phebe’s situation, he also experiences different sexualities through Rosalind’s changing gender performances. At first the young girl, then the pretty youth enamour Orlando both under the name of Rosalind. It again can be seen as a suggestion of homoerotic love, however, considering Butler’s “gender is performative” theory, it does not go beyond appearance. No matter how man-like she looks, she still acts feminine at the core, since at this point she is a female, acting like a male, acting like a female. Even though out of her “Rosalind” love game she assumes the role of Ganymede with Orlando, in their game, she is still Rosalind, a female.
Due to the spacing of these reading responses for the Glass Menagerie, the amount of content available to read and discuss is rather quite small, so there is not a lot that can be discussed. That being said, things are starting to look rather grand in the Wingfield apartment. Tom has asked a friend of his that works in the factory alongside him to come and spend an evening with him and his family. Amanda is absolutely thrilled by this announcement of a gentleman caller. She springs right away to prepared the rather dreary house for company.
In literature, many authors utilize minor characters to significantly add to the meaning of the work. In Great Expectations, three minor characters have important functions, such as serving as a foil to the main character, and adding on to the theme. To begin, Herbert, a minor characters, illustrates a direct foil of Pip. A foil can be defined as another character who contrasts with another character (usually the protagonist). Even though Pip and Herbert share a great friendship (since opposites seem to attract), many differences between Herbert and Pip exploit the presence of a foil.
The given excerpt is extracted from the early section of the first part of the E. M. Forster novel ‘The Passage to India’: ‘The Mosque’. Up until now Forster has introduced us to some of the major characters in the novel, and this particular scene is dominated by Mrs. Moore and her son Ronny. In the given scene, Mrs. Moore and Miss Adela Quested are returning home after an evening at the Club with Ronny whom Adela is to be married to. The first part of the scene is quite enchanting with the Indian moon reflecting on the water of the Ganges; “Below them a radiance…appeared” (line 1).
The simile here creates the idea that their connection is so strong they have somewhat entered a marriage. Briony sacrifices their relationship from progressing after blaming the rape of Lola on Robbie by saying ‘[she] saw him’, in order to create the neat ending of her story that she desires. Robbie and Cecilia’s relationship is to a degree cemented through their sexual intercourse;
