Oliver Met With Monks Quote Analysis
After Mr. Brownlow met with Monks and connected the whole story together I see a new importance to this quote. '"the boy's name?" demanded the marton. "they called him Oliver," replied the woman,' (219) Mr. Brownlow was a good friend to the father of Monks. Mr. Leeford, Monks's father, was married for many years before he cheated on his wife with Agnes, Oliver's mother. This then makes Monks and Oliver half brothers. Rose, Mrs. Maylie's adopted niece, is Agnes younger sister, making Rose Oliver's aunt. As the woman, shown in the quote, is dying she mentions that she knew Oliver mother and that Oliver should have been better off than he was. This quote was almost meaningless until Mr. Brownlow helps gain Oliver inherents from

    The subject of this rhetorical situation is, Oliver Twist' innocence and why he shouldn't be sent to jail. Rose mentions the fact that Oliver is a young boy and prison is no place for a sick child. This must have resonated with Rose's aunt, because she decides not to send Oliver to jail. The speech was delivered in response to Oliver Twist breaking into Rose's home and being mistaken for a thief.…

    In his essay “Early Monasticism and the Church Today”, Brandon Hammonds, an American Theology Professor at the International House of Prayer University, discusses the origin of the Christian Monasticism. The monastery arose because of the need of the Christians to find a place to pray with God by living absence of human activity. That is why these buildings were made so Christians could live the life they have chosen. I support the Monastic movement because it encourages me how to develop life prayer and develop a strong relationship with God, and it has value to me because I grew up going to Catholic Church.…

    In the Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass, Douglass uses rhetorical devices to convey his meaning that slavery is the worst possible experience for humanity in a contemptuous tone. Douglass states, “the wretchedness of slavery, and the blessedness of freedom, were perpetually before me.” This use of antithesis in parallel structure is used to convey his meaning by contrasting the two ideas of slavery and freedom, showing how extremely awful or beautiful each is and to show the differences between them. The use of the word “wretchedness” creates a contemptuous tone in this quote. He then goes on to state that upon arriving in New York he felt “like one who had escaped a den of hungry lions.” This simile is used to show the extent of his fear when in the south, showing how slavery is the worst experience for humankind. This comparison is made using a scornful tone, shown by the dehumanizing of the South through slavery. Next, Douglass explains that during his stay in the North “[he] was afraid to speak to any one for fear of speaking to any one for fear of speaking to the wrong one, and thereby falling into the hands of money-loving kidnappers, whose business it was to lie in wait for the panting fugitive, as the ferocious beats of the forest lie in wait for their prey.” Douglass writes this long sentence for the rhetorical effect of imitating the style of a person ranting, or speaking uncontrollably due to fear to show the horror of slavery. This is written in a bitter or scornful tone through his descriptions of the fugitive kidnappers. Douglass also includes that “[he] saw in every white man an enemy and in every colored man cause for distrust.” This almost equal parallelism is used to compare the common fear Douglass had for both races. The negative outlook on both races shows Douglass’s disdainful tone. Douglass further explains his outlook when he states his motto at the time was “Trust no man!” This…

    There are over a billion people in this world, an over 50% of them are women. In the current world, they're growing to create an impact in the world. It makes one wonder how they struggled to become what they are today. Many works of literature portray women in two types, those fit and unfit for society. While the two categories may have very different definitions to different perspectives, there isn't a doubt that this has helped society in many ways. One work on literature, which contains both categories, is the The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. The novel describes women who may be shunned by society because of their boldness, while others show women who can get away with anything just because of their status. While the female gender is a difficult subject to tackle, women decide for themselves if they want to please society or not.…

When she goes mad, she sings a bawdy song about a maiden who is tricked into losing her virginity with a false promise of marriage (4.5.7)—part of the reason why many literary critics see Ophelia's madness as a result of patriarchal pressure and abuse.…
