Lord of the Flies
The pigs lay, bloated bags of fat, sensuously enjoying the shadows under the trees.
The bloated fat and sensuous enjoyment, and hiding the sunshine from the damp and hot weather showed that the pigs were in a calm, peaceful rest. Also as a tranquil overture for the following brutal, savage extermination. The word “sensuously” also has a meaning of “ gratifying sexually “, it is a foreshadow for the coming sexual connotations.
There was no wind and they were unsuspicious; and practice had made Jack silent as the shadows.
From the “no wind” and the unsuspiciousness exhibited the strained and breathtaking atmosphere. The “practice” signified that Jack had use the knowledge, what has the implication of the civilization and humanities, to practiced this brute killing. As Jack “silent as the shadows”, implicated the the evil (jack) had gone into the place filled with gloom that would make him more dare to butcher, also joined into the area as where the pigs were.
He stole away again and instructed his hidden hunters. Presently they all began to inch forward sweating in the silence and heat.
The hunter inched forward, inched by inched under the sweating and hot weather meant they would endure such pain to have something rewarded, which was the pig. Also the inching forward, this slow and careful movement showed the attack was not an hasty, random action, but deliberate. The sweated in silence and heat made a contrast of how the pigs resting enjoyably and the hunters suffered in damp, hot weather.
Under the trees an ear flapped idly. A little apart from the rest, sunk in deep maternal bliss, lay the largest sow of the lot. She was black and pink; and the great bladder of her belly was fringed with a row of piglets that slept or burrowed and squeaked.
The pig kept flapping its ear showed they had absolutely no awareness of the invasion of the boys and the danger they were going to encounter. The maternal bliss, slept, burrowed, squeaked piglets also emphasized the

    Robert Gray

    • 686 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In ‘The meatworks’ Gray presents a vivid and disturbing description of a North Coast slaughter house. It demonstrates Roberts’s concern of the cruelty and indifference of humankind’s relationship with nature. Sensory imagery is one of the strongest techniques used by the poet. ‘...grinding around inside it, meat or not, solidified like candle wax.’ This appeals to the reader through the use of vivid images that are not only visual but also aural and tactile. Gray creates stifling, oppressive images that characterises the repulsive atmosphere meatworks. The use of personification in the phrase “…gutters crawled off” emphasises the environment in which he is working. It suggests that the gutter is an oozing beast. The line ’blood around his finger nails’ can be interpreted in two ways depending on the reader. One is the literal meaning, of the unpleasantness of been unable to get the blood from his job off his fingers, while it can also be interpreted as that his job makes him feel guilty all the time, where the blood is the guilt. Robert gray intended to show readers the inhumanity of the acts take out during the poem ‘Meatworks,’ some people due to their personal contexts such as vegetarianism are more strongly affected by the poem and its issues, while others aren’t so concerned.…

    The Deer at Providencia

    • 781 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Dillard’s tone in “The Deer at Providencia” is almost a bit disturbing and cynical. She references the suffering deer with words such as “gashed,” “bleeding,’ and “snared” (61). Yet, she displays absolutely no emotion towards the creature whatsoever. She simply goes about eating her meal, commenting on how delicious the deer tastes. All the while, she glances at the dying deer from time to time. Dillard also uses references hidden between the lines, such as "high levels of lactic acid, which build up in the muscle tissue during exertion, tenderize" (63). In this way Dillard is referencing back to the tied up deer and how its struggles and exertion tenderizes its meat. This cruel reference is slight, but if noticed, adds a tone to the piece as it implies torture. This cynical tone can be sensed especially at the end when Dillard calls the creature a “poor little thing” (66), and then takes it back when she realizes “it was a ridiculous thing to say” (66).…
