To accomplish this goal, the author conveys rhetorical strategies such as diction, pathos, and metaphors. Initially, Sinclair uses words like “ no deliverance” and “ swept aside” to insinuate the feeling of sympathy. Both words share a connotation of being
Imagine living where whenever you got hurt physically or even mentally the pain disappeared, impossible right? Well for everyone that Brewster Rawlins cares about, this is reality. In the novel Bruiser by Neal Shusterman, Brewster cannot care about a lot of people, because when he cares about you, he takes away all of your pain and bad emotions, and it goes straight to him. In the story, many people Brew cares about realize that when Brewster takes their pain, it's like they're not living their own life, as they don't experience their own pain. With pain comes experience and life, and without pain it's like you're not even living.
The novel clearly stresses the importance of understanding someone’s life before we judge their
In the book Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds, he uses specific literary devices and techniques that cause this collection of poems to become one cohesive novel to portray the story of a boy struggling with the death of his brother and gun violence in his community. This story changed the way I view living in an inner city community and how that can affect a child’s development and mental state while living in that environment. Reynolds uses imagery to develop a deeper understanding of the death of a child, dramatically displays a child being shot and how our main character views this tragedy, “Her mouth open. Bubble gum and blood” (133). This disturbing piece of imagery establishes our main character’s inner conflict, indicating that Will (main

In the poem, the speaker faces reality like it’s a living hell. The speaker is beaten to death because of his doings. The speaker states, “In the fell clutch of circumstance. I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance.
Poetry is an effective means used to convey a variety of emotions, from grief, to love, to empathy. This form of text relies heavily on imagery and comparison to inflict the reader with the associated feelings. As such, is displayed within Stephen Dunn 's, aptly named poem, Empathy. Quite ironically, Dunn implores strong diction to string along his cohesive plot of a man seeing the world in an emphatic light. The text starts off by establishing the military background of the main protagonist, as he awaits a call from his lover in a hotel room.
The pain she caused him was unbearable that it felt like a “bullet to the heart.” This is written to make listeners understand and imagine his pain, and understand his feelings while writing the song better. Overall, Jackson Wang uses allusion, exaggeration, and metaphor to convey the story of the song.

Author’s lives inspire their writing in many ways. An illustrious writer, Edgar Allan Poe, experienced continuous sufferings throughout his life. The heartaches he faced transferred into his writing. Poe’s works are dark and traumatic, such as “The Pit and the Pendulum.” He uses the unthinkable and shapes short stories out of them.
In the final analysis, most readers of this poem tend to deduce a dark theme of physical violence due to its tone, word choice and imagery. Nonetherless, Roethke balances positive and negative tones of the poem to give it a rich and ambiguous quality. The exceeding tendency to paint the picture of child abuse deprives it, of this quality. “My Papa’s Waltz,” illustrates a special and powerful moment, shared between a father and a son through a waltz.

It tells us what the main idea is and what lesson we need to take home. This relates to the real world because sometimes you tend to focus on other things and miss out on what's happening in the now. You wake up and realize that your life has passed you and you haven't even lived it. Many people have regrets about their lives and the fact that they weren’t able to do more.
Many things come with 2 sides; good and bad. In the poem, it talks of the bad side where readers of poems want to “torture a confession” out of a poem rather than just enjoying a poem for what it is. The author wants readers to analyze poems positively rather than negatively like they are accustomed to do. This relates to my life in that everyone focuses on the bad things I do rather than looking at the good things I do in life. This poem also reminds me of how the education system works.
In “The Trouble with Poetry” the speaker touches on the same idea of how poetry is so forced, and how it has lost its meaning as an expression and has become more of an addiction among
