A fourth convention that was used was the use of strong language to create excitement. Often using vulgar words the actors were able to really grab the audience’s attention if they hadn’t already by using a strong tone or by dropping and unexpected “F” bomb. When actors use this type of language unexpectedly it really grabs the audience and causes exciting drama.…

The district elections favored Harvey milk's election because he was elected by the people in his neighborhood. These people knew him well due to his direct campaigns. This was unlike be at- large elections, where people did not get to know him as well.…
For the first time in this section we see a use of language that is typical of the film : Shirley and Les respond to Liz's scream by saying 'Oh my god!' in unison. Dialogue in unison is a common technique in stage comedy, but it is unusual to find it in a film. It is another example of a non-realistic, highly theatrical technique.…
Simple uses slang and a broken English dialect to help the unnamed narrator convey a greater sense of Be-Bop and how it relates to racial issues. In this two person dialogue between Simple and the unnamed narrator, the setting of their conversation is being held in an urban setting. Simple uses this urban setting to his advantage by speaking freely using slang and a broken English dialect knowing that the unnamed narrator would understand. In order to transfer the point to the unnamed narrator, Simple uses a type of language which they are both familiar with. Simple’s point is that Re-Bop and Be-Bop are not the same. The composure of the dialogue allows for Hughes to use Simple to broadly convey his thoughts to the unnamed narrator or his audience through a casual manner.…
The theme “One should not blindly follow tradition for tradition’s sake”, can be proven true in the poem “Mending Wall” by Robert Frost, and the short story “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson. In both works, you can see how people follow traditions because their previous generations did. In the poem, literary devices help show how the neighbors meet to fix fence because their previous generations did. In the short story, the whole town gathers in the town center to have a lottery because it has gone on longer than the oldest person in their town.…
Some of the sound devices include consonance, rhythm and alliteration with the repetition of the end sounds of such as in the words” pathless, seamless, peerless” (line 12-13), and “foothold, fingerhold, mindhold” (line 16-17). The speaker also used alliteration in line 19 with hipholes and hummocks.…
Intriguingly, the deadly Battle of Gettysburg was one of the most impressive battles of the Civil War. Although an outrageous amount of soldiers lost their lives, the battle was a major turning point of the war. Fighting for what they believed, the Civil War put brother against brother, dividing a nation. On up to the battle, there were many disagreements that led to the causes of the Battle of Gettysburg. Outnumbered at times, which was not the best situation to be in, countless occurrences developed during the duration of the three short days of the battle. Multiple lives were lost. The outcomes and effects of the battle were detrimental, since so many lives were taken. From the causes, occurrences, and effects, the Battle of Gettysburg remains monumental.…

What follows is the highly disturbing tale of a roommate that more or less slowly descended into total madness, up to the point where he was storing dead animals in the oven, and taking dumps in various places around the house that were not the toilet bowl. Originally found on the SomethingAwful Forums, posted by Martin Random, I have mirrored this tale here purely for the reasons that I made me laugh to no end while reading the original thread. Note that these forums require a payment to access, so this link will probably not work for you if you don't have an account there.…
In this line the alliteration of ‘h’ together with the assonance in ‘oo’ makes the reader drag out the word ‘hooked’, which emphasises the word and the hard harsh sound contained in it. This portrays a dangerous and rugged view of the hawk.…

We see this concept come to life in “The Historic Fart.” Abu Hasan’s friends pressure him to get married again and eventually he obliges. On the night of his wedding, it comes time for Abu Hasan to go to the bridal chamber. “Slowly and solemnly he rose from his divan; but, horror of horrors, being bloated with meat and drink, he let go a long and resounding fart... Abu Hasan was so mortified with shame that he wished the ground would open up and swallow him. He mumbled a feeble excuse, and instead of going to the bridal chamber, went straight to the courtyard, saddled his horse, and rode off into the night, weeping bitterly,” (Tales from the Thousand and One Nights, pg.165). Abu Hasan is so embarrassed and worried about what all his friends think about him that he flees the country for ten years. Anyone who has ever farted in public can understand Abu Hasan’s embarrassment, but Abu Hasan overreacted. He is so concerned about what everyone thinks and couldn’t bear to face his wife and all his friends for a moment longer. After ten years he decides to return once again to his country, but even after all those years Abu Hasan is still worried about what everyone thinks of him. “He gazed upon his old house with tears in his eyes, saying to himself: ‘Pray God, no one will ever recognize me, I will first wander about the town and listen to the people’s gossip. Allah grant that after all these years no one will remember what I did’,” (Tales from the Thousand and One Nights, pg.166). He is so ashamed of what he did that fateful night many years ago. Walking around town Abu Hasan heard a mother tell her daughter that she was born on the night of Abu Hasan’s fart. That seemed to be the last straw! “ ‘Abu Hasan,’ he said to himself, ‘the day of your fart has become a date which will surely be remembered till the end of time.’” (Tales from the Thousand and One Nights, pg.166). I believe Abu Hasan’s fart would not have been remembered had he laughed it off and continued to have…
