Words In The Prophecy By Anjana Appachana
The writer of The Prophecy, Anjana Appachana, was born in India and later moved to the United States. Therefore, while the story is written in English, it is not uncommon to find Hindi words such as scooterwalla, Chachaji, and puja among others is appearing throughout the story. For example, ().The writer’s usage of Tamil words in her story is due to the fact that oftentimes, there are no words in one language that can fully express the meaning of a word in another language, due to the respective cultural backgrounds of each language. For example, ‘scooterwalla’ refers to the driver of a scooter-type vehicle native only to India.

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Night By Elie Wiesel

    Pathos- this is effectively used frequently through out the text so that the speaker gets the audience to be emotional. An example of this is when he says “ to be abandoned by god is worse than to be punished by him” (444). By saying this, the speaker get the audience to empathize with the victim, put themselves in the victims shoes, which gets the emotions and feeling across to all the members of the audience and get then engaged. He uses human emotion as a way to speak out against the holocaust and then speaks of the horrors of it to trigger emotion from the audience “Over there, behind the black gates of Auschwitz, the most tragic of all prisoners were the “Muselmanner” as they called. Wrapped in their torn blankets, they would sit or lie on the ground, staring vacantly into space, unaware of who or where they were—strangers to their surroundings...” (444). This creates a feeling of horror and helps the…

    There’s also a big amount of similes used to show the theme. “Our house is like a prison, something that sometimes feels like it’s keeping me in, locked away, not keeping other people out,” page 17. Abigail feels trapped with all this situation of her sister missing, rather than feeling protected, its vice-versa. Another example is, “The kiss was short, and when he pulled back, I could see his breath, like frosting, lighting up the air,” page 189. When Aby uses “frosting,” it’s sweet and good, so Aby describes his…

    Gothic Horror Conventions

    This is seen in 'The Kit Bag' when Blackwood writes ‘But then the steps ceased suddenly, and he heard no more’. In the quote it says 'But then the steps ceased suddenly' and when it says 'suddenly' this suggests that whatever noise was been made, just stopped, went away. Also when he describes them as 'the steps' evokes the idea that it isn't a person, it is just the sound of steps. It is also seen in 'Wuthering Heights' when the author, Emily Bronte, wrote 'the fir bough repeat its teasing sound'. The fact that she said 'the fir bough' already makes it seem quite suspicious, as they don't usually make sounds. Also when she writes 'repeat its teasing sound' makes the writer think, what teasing sound? How can it make such a sound? And so, it creates the sense of fear and horror as the reader doesn't know what is happening or…

    Rhetoric Analysis

    Authors Becky Herz, and Kim Phuc wrote essays that not only touched hearts, but also made people take a different look at life and those around them. “The Long Road to Forgiveness” and “My Husband Will Call Me Tomorrow” are two essays that use literary devices such as pathos, imagery, ethos, and repetition to effectively tell their stories. By using different rhetorical and literary devices in their writing they were able to make an impact with their words. Words are very powerful weapons in the battle of making a point and trying to make sure that people actually understand that same point. In Herz’s “My Husband Will Call Tomorrow” she was able to use repetition as well as visual devices to effectively tell her story. Her use of these devices allows the reader to be able to connect and see things from her level. Phuc’s essay on the other hand, was able to evoke gut-wrenching emotion, just using devices such as imagery and details about to make her story credible.…
