Carol Of The Bells Poetic Devices
“Carol of the Bells” by Peter J. Wilhousky has the theme of Christmas that any carol would have. In a carol, the base structure of it is based on the meaning of Christmas and the joy it brings to people. Although “Carol of the Bells” is no different than any other song native to Christmas, the song tells us to listen to the bells that mark that Christmas is here; to tell us to forget our cares and worries. The carol also encourages people, “One seems to hear, Words of good cheer, From everywhere, Filling the air.” “Carol of the Bells” may be a song that has the basic theme of Christmas but it has a depth that is in the carol giving a cheery description of Christmas. The way that “Carol of the Bells” is constructed is through some poetic devices

    The Erkling, a creature that is commonly found in the Black Forest in Germany, rated by the Ministry of Magic as a XXXX creature, can grow up to around three feet tall. They have a very pointed face, typically with a very long nose, used to shoot darts at the victims that it comes across, and a bunch of spines covering its arms, big yellow eyes, sharp teeth and skin in a brown and green shade. One can usually discover one of these grossly creatures by hearing the high-pitched cackling that it uses as its main weapons for snatching up children as they are too innocent to realize what the noise is and get too curious. An even more evil species, the Bavarian Erkling, will not take the child away before it attacks like the Germanic Erkling. Fortunately the older someone gets, the easier it becomes to ignore the…

    If someone asked a stranger on the street to name their all-time favorite Christmas movie, there are many that would come to mind. The list would possibly include “Frosty the Snowman”, “The Grinch”, “Rudolph”, and more than likely “White Christmas”. Although it is actually considered a musical because of the songs and dance that help to bring this all together. It is based on the ever popular song by Irving Berlin that was released in 1941, only a few week after the Pearl Harbor attacks. Originally sung in the film “Holiday Inn”, it still remains today as one of the bestselling recorded songs ever. Berlin wrote many songs that were hits, but this one is the only one that still seems near and dear to the hearts of many Americans. Not a…

    “Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values” says Thomas S. Monson. This is one intricate message that Ebenezer Scrooge failed to grasp. Ebenezer Scrooge is the narcissistic, avaricious protagonist in Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol. To start off, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of Christmas past, the ghost of Christmas present and the ghost of Christmas yet to come. Each of these three spirits exemplifies a different time in his penurious life. As an attempt to change Scrooge, all of the three spirits…

    I think one of the themes in this book is that in life sometimes someone can have the best intenitons to change people and change a culture, but it doesent work and the person conforms to that life. On the otherhand one reason the person intiontentions of new ideas might not work because that person could possibly be before their time meaning that the person ideas could be great for people in the future, it might not work in the present. In this story if Carol was around during the women’s revolution then her ideas could have been viewed as forward thinking and those ideas could have been used and she could have had a better life and could have felt that what she was doing was worth it in the end but because came earlier the majority of…

    A great work of art that has a great impact on my life is the novel A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickson. The story tells of a cold hearted, selfish business man named Ebenezer Scrooge, who is visited by his deceased business partner Jacob Marley and three ghosts on Christmas Eve. Jacob Marley who chained tells Scrooge that he should change his way or he will be punished in the after life. Marley beged for Scrooge to be given a chance to change. The ghost’s job is to persuade Scrooge to change his ways to avoid punishment in the afterlife. The three ghosts show Scrooge past, present, and future events that help Scrooge realize he is wrong and changes Scrooge into a better person. The story has had an impact on my life in many ways. The story taught me that a person’s behavior is a product of their past. If a person is unkind, it is the events that happened in their past that has made them who they are. It’s a reminder that showing compassion toward unkind people can make them a happier. The story has also taught me to treat people with kindness and respect. Lastly the story has taught me to always help the less fortunate because a little kindness can change a person's life.…
