The Raven Figurative Language
Raven naturally does not have a accent of any kind. Although, they will pronounce words differently from other people due to the fact that their mother who had a accent, they would pick up words from her along their mother's pronunciation of the word. They tend to have a silvery [ gentle, clear, melodious ] voice that they use to lull people into doing what they want. When they are tired, lazy or bored their voice will take on a monotone quality which is heavily laced with sarcasm but then again their voice alaws seems to carry a tone of sarcasm. If there was a person who loved swearing more than anything else it would be Raven. They just tend to do it around their brother and friends who are used to their constant swearing.

    One literary device in the poem is symbolism. Symbolism is the practice of using a word to represent an idea. There are several symbols in the poem “The Raven”, but the main symbol is the raven itself. The Raven symbolizes the man’s memories of his wife, Lenore.

Figurative language such as "with crooked hands," "close to the sun," "the wrinkled sea beneath him crawls. " "He clasps the crag with crooked hands." Poems are riddled with figurative language, and The Eagle is no exception, personified objects and animals are the easiest way to relate to anybody. As if an eagle could have hands rather than the talons that birds are a custom to having. "…

    The name “Raven Baxter” is without a doubt a part of my childhood memories. Portrayed by actress Raven-Symoné, Raven Baxter, star of Disney Channel’s TV show “That’s So Raven,” was the fashionista just trying to make it through high school whom I used as a guide for what my 17-year-old self might face one day. With her dynamic duo of best friends Eddie and Chelsea, her money-loving younger brother Cory, and her funny and sweet parents Victor and Tanya, it is no surprise that Raven was such a memorable character—not to mention the fact that she was sidekick.…

    Raven is a revered and benevolent transformer god, his spirits can transform him into anything he wants or needs. In Dictionary of Anthropology by Winick god is defined as “a particular god was believed to be in charge of various parts of the world or of specific activities or qualities. Communication with them is necessary to insure that they are on our side. ” (pg.235). I believe they call Raven a god because he has such great power and often the Inuit talk to him.

    The more I focused on my accent, the more I hated the way it sounded. Deep down in me I hoped I could train my accent away. For months I would watch movies and national geographic documentaries to mimic the accents of the actors and narrators. My parents thought it was a little strange but didn’t seem too worried. Soon I was getting better and it became fun to learn the rules that distinguish accents and pretty soon I was learning to mimic a few others besides…

    Raven is treated as an outsider because of his disability. All his life, Raven has been an outcast. He has never had the opportunity to be accepted for who he is. Growing up as an orphan in Torcurra, the villagers began to accuse him of being filled with demons because of his strange behavioural outbursts. Father Brannan attempts to care for him, but whenever he isn’t around, the villagers try to beat the apparent ‘evil spirits’ out of Raven. They are completely unaware that the reason Raven acts the way he does is because he is actually deaf. The villagers have always ostracised Raven because of the deceptive lies they believe; that he is filled with demons, rather than suffering with a mere disability.…
