I guess I started to spit on her and she started to get mad and told me to stop but I didn’t and kept doing it so she smashed my head into the bleachers. I got up with my hand on my head and said “Jeez Adria” she responded “well maybe you shouldn’t spit on me then Connor”.
Dense, crushing love. Kneeling, watching the hole, he tried to focus on Lee Strunk and the war, all the dangers, but his love was too much for him, he felt paralyzed, he wanted to sleep inside her lungs and breathe be blood and be smothered. He wanted her to be a virgin and not a virgin all at once. He wanted to know her” (O’Brien
Aunt Hester went out with another slave after her owner ordered her not to and it was after curfew. Arriving back later than intended, she came back to a common but overly aggressive reaction of her owner: “After rolling up his sleeves, he commenced to lay the heavy cowskin, and soon the warm, red blood (amid heart-rending shrieks from her, and horrid oaths from him) came dripping to the floor. I was so terrified and horror-stricken at the sight, that I hid myself in a closet… ” (Douglass 1942). Detailing the events of these frequent and inhumane treatments of the slaves, Douglass tunes in to the emotions of the readers, especially fellow abolitionists.
To continue, the white coats are more evil than the god of the sea, Poseidon because they are inhumane. In the story, “Her lungs had started burning bad an hour ago; she hadn’t been able to feel her leg muscles for longer than that, but every time she stopped running , a statistic white coat - Reilly- zapped her with a stick thing… she could feel his eager anticipation- he wanted to hurt her.” (Patterson 52)While it is true that Poseidon tries to kill Odysseus, he stops once Odysseus reaches his home, it is also true that the white coats are inhumane because the white coat wanted to hurt her but had no reason proving that he is a pig. Furthermore, the white coats are more wicked than Poseidon because they are betraying to many people.
They were best friends, real pals. They tasted their first beer together one dark night behind the old barn. Both of them had snuck home drunk as could be that night scared to death their Dads would catch them. They double dated on prom night, borrowing the Chevy Nathan’s Dad cherished so much.
He thinks that taking soma is a sin itself and tells his mother to stop. He slowly sees the darkness of the world he has been shown and is losing his innocent self. While morning the death of his mother some children make fun of him it is said that, “They had mocked him through his misery and remorse, mocked him with how hideous a note of cynical derision! Fiendishly laughing, they had insisted on the low squalor, the nauseous ugliness of the nightmare.” (Huxley 184).
Ishmael started having migraines before he became a solider; this is most likely from all of the horrible things he saw. "In my mind's eye I would see sparks of flame, flashes of scenes I had witnessed, and the agonizing voices of children and women would come alive in my head, I cried quietly as my head beat like the clapper of a bell. (Beah, 103) Ishmael saw other people have PTSD as well. "One soldier, who had sat on a cement brick underneath kitchen, bowed his head in his hands and rocked his body."
In this Southern society hypocrisy lies underneath religion and reputation, Huck and Tom just happened to point it out. When Miss Watson was explaining to Huck all about hell and how it was so bad he told her that he “wished {he} was there” (twain 10) she was so shocked and devastated because how horrible it was. This just shows hypocrisy because Miss Watson is explaining all about the bad place, that only the worst people go there and how terrible it is meanwhile she is enslaving innocent people. Huck also reveals hypocrisy when Miss Watson was telling him all about the need for prayer and how important it is in society and he asks why should he believe it and all she could say was that “its in the books” (Twain 17).

Another form of diction that is used in the second passage Hope, Despair, and Memory is when he talks about other people’s pain and his own. “ Men and Women from every corner of Europe were suddenly reduced to nameless and faceless creatures desperate for the same ration of bread or soup, dreading the same end.” In the quote Elie is talking about how all her memories are about other people’s pain and how everyone goes through the same issues and experiences. The last example that shows pain is from the second passage Hope, Despair, and Memory. “ Is it not natural for a human being to repress what causes him pain, what causes him shame?
