Thacher: A Narrative Analysis
England is no easy task. I would know that more than anyone in this room.” Thacher had stated loudly with a heaving chest.

“And like you would be the next great and influential King of England?!.” Adaline had exclaimed. “You are heavily despised amongst every single person in England due to your retched attitude and your personal views of how England should be ran!,You pull stunts that make it apparent that you the ego of Donald Trump and Kanye West combined and you don’t dedicate your time to promotional campaigns, you spend your time buying ridiculously priced crap that reflects negatively on the rest of us when you are spotted by paparazzi donning said items!.” Adaline had stated,feeling her anger about to reach the point of no return for the second time today.

I don’t care if the paparazzi who like off of paycheck to paycheck or the people reading the newspapers or the magazines abhor my spending habits. I am royalty and I could do whatever I damn well please because of it. And I doubt that after you had sent the tip of me switching Nikolaus and your blood tests with another pair of twins will stop me from being made the King of England.” Thacher had stated with self righteousness in his tone whilst daring Adaline to respond to his statement with another negative comment and had smirked when a comment never came from her mouth a couple of seconds

    He is very descriptive in his writing and uses a sophisticated tone to help King George understand the seriousness of his message. He constantly displays his intelligence through the use of advanced vocabulary, which enhances his tone. He does not simply state, "the King of Great Britain is a tyrant and we want to be independent". He uses phrases like, "The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States"(Jefferson 238) to show that he is angered by The King 's actions, while still displaying his…

    Relaying on historical documentations to write a story, the author sometimes is left to fill the gap of some of the events to make the story more plausible for the readers such as Nannie's death incident when Larson "used threads of known details to weave plausible account." On the contrary, Douglas Satrr stated that he "have taken no liberties with facts or the context in which the events related in the book." What limitations does the author have to employ his artistic imaginations to interpret some situations? Would the readers infer these events as the only truth rather than speculative situations?…

    In the speech, Queen Elizabeth illustrates a confident tone using diction. Diction is the choice of words an author uses. For example, Queen Elizabeth states “Let tyrants fear, I have always so behaved myself that, under god, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal heart and good will of subjects.” In this quote the Queen shows the difference between her as a leader and that of a tyrant. Unlike tyrants who don’t care or trust their subjects, she and her subjects have a bond. She uses the excerpt “under God” to place herself under the higher authority of God, which connects with her beliefs that monarchs are ordained by God and operate under his power. This emphasizes that her authority comes from God, which strengthens her credibility. Also it describes her whole statement. Her strength and safeguard all were done under the eyes of God. The excerpts “chiefest strength” and “let tyrants fear” shows confidence. Confidence typically conveys assurance in one’s own skills, abilities or powers. The Queen shows these things in the excerpts. She uses “cheifest strength” to say that she has placed her main strength and sense of safety in her troops. Diction connects with confidence because the selective words that the author uses helps get her point across that she was confident in her troops. She uses “loyal” which means giving or showing firm and constant support of allegiance to a person or institution. This shows that the queen herself support is…

    An old house sits on the top of a hill in a small town named Rikes, Wisconsin. It is December in Rikes and the house is covered in snow, with barely any wood left showing. The wooden house is not visible from the nearby street because it is engulfed by thick forest. The house is owned by Frank Nelson, but many people in town refer to him as “Saint Nick” because he is the Santa Clause at the local church. He is in his seventies and he is a widowed husband, no one in town knows about what happened to his wife because he had moved there after she had died. Though some thought this was weird, it did not raise many concerns around town, but most of the parents feel uneasy about Frank because he has had a bad record with the cops and his drinking…

    Priestley cleverly employs dramatic irony to burst the bubble of Arthur Birling’s pomposity. The play is set in 1912, two years before the First World War and by pointing up Birling’s fallibility the audience is less inclined to agree with the views on the personal and social responsibility he declares throughout the play.…

    Kingscourt

    Lord Kingscourt is firstly introduced to us in chapter 2. Our first encounter and impression of Lord Kingscourt is that he is a man of very high class, we know this as he is firstly introduced by statement ‘The Right Honourable Thomas David Nelson, the noble Lord Kingscourt, the Viscount of Roundstone, the ninth Earl of Cashel, Kilkerrin and Carna.’ From looking at the following statement and how he is firstly put across to us we already know that Lord Kingscourt in a man that holds a lot of responsibilities and is held in very high regard. When Lord Kingscourt was in the dinning saloon we know that a negro man holding an overload of charged champagne flutes stumbles near the doorway. When this happened an ironic slow-handclap started then numerous voices sitting around the table started to shout “Huazzah! Bravo! Well done, that fellow” “They’ll have to put up the fares!”. This is showing us the perception and respect the negro’s got from the higher class people during the Great Famine. On the other hand Lord Kingscourt who was looked up at by the higher class people during the Great Famine refused to insult the negro man, said to him “Mind your hand, here!” as he handed him a clean linen handkerchief. This is already indicating to us as readers that Lord Kingscourt does not see himself as better than anyone else. He is showing sympathy for this negro man by not mocking him and trying to help him. Despite Kingscourt being in pain and discomfort because of the Great Famine he still sees this negro servant as no better than himself. He is a man who sees everyone on an equal level no matter first class or third class. After proceeding to help the negro servant, Lord Kingscourt’s wife who was sitting around the table called “David” as he turned to look at her she has half risen from her banquette and was gaily beckoning him over with a bread-knife, her knotted eyebrows and pinched lips set in burlesque of impatience. As a reader this makes us realise just how disgusted…

    In the mid 1930s, King George V of England is concerned about the immediate future of the British monarchy.

    I was reminded of this significance when Bertie suddenly released his frustration during his talk with Lionel. Truly, The King’s Speech presented a story of a man whose courage to change inspires the viewers to speak for their purpose. Courageous it is for the challenges that Bertie faced to overcome his apprehension were not of ease, but of difficulty, given that his speech problem was rooted in something deeper- his experiences as a young prince. As a child, he encountered the strict side of his father, the physical violence given to him by his nanny, the death of his younger brother, and other acts of pain. These experiences brought the growing Bertie fear and this fear brought him a disorder that would be a great hurdle to him in the near future. Not only did it bring him physical damage, but it also resulted to emotional instability and low self-esteem. It was as if he was losing hope that he would be able to speak normally, that he would be able to speak for himself wherein people would truly listen to him.…
