Helen In Anne Fine's Descriptive Language
Anne fine uses descriptive language to show that Helen is upset and annoyed, "she looked perculiar, her eyes were red and puff" suggesting that Helen was crying before school and it wasn't over something silly. Furthermore by saying "perculiar" " shows that Helen isn't acting normal or looks her normal happy self like usuall which means something Is wrong. It could also show that Helen wants to be left alone shown through "she buried her head Into the desk" could suggest Helen wants to be isolated from others and not spoken to. This backs up my other point as you could see no both qoutations Helen is upset and doesn't want to be spoken to.

    Paul Jennings-a Dozen Bloomin' Roses Review

    Gerald is forced to enter the shop under pressure and reluctantly buys a dozen roses. Powerful verbs and adjectives such as “shy”, “red”, “shivering”, ”frozen mouth” and “twitching”, allow us to imagine an extremely nervous boy. The simile “he looked around like a hunted rabbit” is an example of Paul Jennings’ effective language techniques. It s because of these sentences that we feel pity for Gerald; “this great big wave of redness swept down from his ears, down his neck and for all I know right down to his toes.”…

    Dialectical Journal Melinda Sordino

    As the narrator, Melinda Sordino, awaits her first day as a freshman at Merryweather High she describes, “the school bus wheezes to my corner” (pg 3). The authors’ use of personification describes the heaviness and panic that is set into the setting. When Melinda arrives at school, she describes, as others’ talk behind her back, the feeling that “words climb up my throat” (pg 5). This personification describes the want to speak up but is silenced by her feelings of anger and disparity. Melinda’s experience so far at high school hasn’t been perfect, but has rather worn her out “my bed is sending out serious nap rays… The fluffy pillows and warm comforter are more powerful than I am” (pg 16). This passage shows that she would…

    Mary Anne Bell Character Analysis

    It is a well known fact to all, that experiencing traumatic war events and sights that aren’t pleasant, changes people. There is an innocence that is forever lost. An innocence that can never be gained back. Change is inevitable. Change, in Mary Anne Bell’s case, is here to stay. It has its way of affecting each and every person it encounters. In the book The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien, he incorporates an innocent city girl into the wild jungle of war in Vietnam; Mary Anne Bell. Because Mark Fossie decides to take a drastic measure and fly his girlfriend to Vietnam during one of the most brutal wars, she gains the soldier’s sympathy and soon becomes the “not so innocent blonde” new to the territory; she is simply an entirely renovated girl living in a whole new world.…

Now he is deathly silent...how beautiful that sounds. Edward is dead...fabulous. What secrets you had! What conniving lies you told. It was out engagement not yours! The attention always needed to be on you. You of all people should congratulate me for killing Edward, he was a unfaithful backstabber. Well...Edward is dead...that is one task ticked. My needs both then and now - meant nothing to you. I realised - and what a shock it was - that I would always be below you.

    Sophie Auld's Diction

    Through his specific diction, Frederick Douglass is able to exemplify how slavery not only dehumanized slaves, but had an equally horrifying effect on slave owners. When Douglass initially meets Sophie Auld, he describes her as a “pious, warm, and tender-hearted woman” (Douglass 50). Never owning a slave before, Sophie Auld was not accustomed to the typical treatment of slaves, leaving Douglass “utterly astonished at her goodness” (Douglass 46). However, once she is scolded for her kind treatment towards Douglass, most notably for attempting to educate him, by her husband, Douglass describes an extreme change in her character. Douglass uses intense imagery when describing her change, claiming, “that cheerful eye, under the the influence of slavery, soon became red with rage; that voice, made all of sweat accord, changed to one of harsh and horrid discord; and that angelic face gave place to that of a demon” (Douglass 46).…

    'Hypocrisy In Flannery O Connor's Revelation'

    One way she does this is through Ruby Turpin’s cruel depictions of others. When she is first surveying the waiting room and all of the fellow patients, she sees the young girl reading her book. Throughout the story she refers to her as the “ugly girl” as O’Connor illustrated, “The poor girl’s face was blue with acne and Mrs. Turpin thought how pitiful it was to have a face like that at that age” (453). The obvious judgement of a grown woman towards a young adolescent girl, makes the reader feel bad for the teen. By putting down others, even if it is just in her head, Mrs. Turpin comes off as bully, causing empathy for all of her victims. O’Connor strategically does this to teach her readers how hurtful passing unnecessary judgements can be. In the story Flannery O’Connor even writes, “...though she thought it was one thing to be ugly and another to act ugly” (455). Although Mrs. Turpin thinks this about the teenage girl, this really serves as a symbol for the story’s overall theme of acting hypocritically to how you appear. Contrastingly, O’Connor also brings pity upon Mrs. Turpin at the end of the story as her character progresses. After being attacked by the teenage girl, it is not the physical abuse that hurts Ruby, but the words that she utters to her after. As the doctor is pulling the girl away, she orders, “Go back to hell where you came from, you old wart hog” (460). Ruby pines after a reason for…

    Mrs Crossman Character Analysis

    The narrator, shows multiple personality traits in the story, based on her reactions/actions in the story. For an example, the narrator’s reaction to her waiting outside, shows that she is stubborn. I believe this because, even after being told many times by Mrs.Crossman, the narrator continues to stay outside. She does this because, she wants to show Mrs.Crossman that her mother is indeed coming to pick her up. One other major trait the narrator has, is being insecure. I believe this because, the narrator is shown to be hiding the truth…

    Write An Alternate Ending To George Orwell's 1984

    She stepped slowly from the doorframe, letting the light touch her old and faded face as if it were the sun that was to appreciate her presence. She hardly went on walks when I was around. She’d always just stay in and moan about it being too bright. I definitely remembered this old hag. And if you think 'old hag' was a bit of a harsh term, I am more than willing to argue. Despite her frail appearance and gentle expression, I know what truly lied behind the facet of wrinkles. Stubborn and headstrong like that of a wild boar, with a tongue so sharp, one could nearly be sliced in two if Katherine believed you to be worth her time in the very least, let alone bothered to utter a word to you at all. As a boy, I had the misfortune of continuously…

    Sympathy for Candy

    Sympathy for Candy

    The language in the section varies quite a lot as most of it is written calmly and other is written to make you feel sorry for candy. Here is a quote to support my point. “then he rolled slowly over and faced the wall and lay silently” this is a semantic field as it has the words slowly and silent”. This is a semantic field for calmness. The word “faced” means that he didn’t just turn his head he wanted to face the wall so nobody could see his reaction. He would also not like to be seen sad. “lay” is a another word which i have included in the quote which makes you think that candy was calm and didn’t rustle in bed. This all adds to the sympathy as you feel sorry for him because he doesn’t want to be seen sad and also doesn’t want to be seen as weak or not seen crying. All the adjectives are very calm and relaxing and don’t give the sense of despair and sadness.…

    Her lost and lonely air has always made her apart from the fact that she seems to want to talk to the man, and that is probably because of lost self-esteem and maybe because of missing courage. She does not really expect someone to notice her. She also seems surprised and overwhelmed that the man wants to talk to her “Surprised, arrested in her track, she knocks knives and spoons clattering onto the table“(page 68, line31), and again it says something about her low self-esteem, and this may be due to lack of friends after arriving to a new county, and maybe…
