'Dreary In Custom House' By Nathaniel Hawthorne

(Doc. 6). Madison also displayed beliefs similar to those of Hamilton when he went to war in 1812. Hamilton, in “Tully No. III” maintains the necessity of force to preserve law and that “Government supposes control” (Doc. 2). Although Madison did not believe in a strong central government, he did believe that force must be applied in order to maintain laws and the order, demonstrated by his engagement in the War of 1812. John Adams, a Federalist himself, even claimed in a letter to Benjamin Waterhouse that he “give [his vote] to Mr. Madison” (Doc. 7).

She describes how Americans hunted flamingos, before the popularity of the flamingo in a slightly critical tone. Which was exemplified by the use of italics in the sentence, “ First it was a flamingo.” Furthermore, Price compares the plastic flamingos to a “ like a semiotic sprouts”, insinuating that the popularity of the flamingos is annoying and unsightly(28-29 Price). She uses careful sentences and rhetorical strategies to convey her point.

In “Something Wicked This Way Comes” by Ray Bradbury, Jim Nightshade does have some verbal and dramatic irony associated with him. In the quotes, “You look familiar… Like an uncle of mine,” (Bradbury 85 & 86) “Darn Baptist preacher, you,” (30) and, “Storm’s coming. Don’t wait Jim boy,” (10) show how Jim uses irony and how others use irony to foreshadow the danger targeted at him. The author shows how Jim uses irony to lie to Mr. Cooger and crack jokes about how Will is and how Jim will be defenseless from the carnival. Bradbury does this because it shows the sentimental bond between Jim and Will, how Jim is deceitful, and also how Jim is inferior to the power of the carnival itself.

She starts by introducing the real birds in her second paragraph and then weans off of that idea and towards the plastic kind. This shows Price’s feelings for the lack of appreciation for nature and the growing desire for the more popular, fake accustoms. By stating “the flamboyant oasis of instant riches…”, to explain Las Vegas, she is intentionally tieing it into the relation of boldness and extravagance of the pink flamingo, as well as comparing both to the annoyance of “semiotic sprouts” that may keep

In the poem, he writes in protest of the way they are treated and about the culture. The first verse can be seen as explaining what the life is like. This can be especially seen in the first two lines where he says “We Shall Not always plant while other reaps/ The golden increment of bursting fruit” The beginning brings the reader right away into understand that this poem is meant to display the frustration towards the treatment of afrienca American people. The second verse explains the way that African Americans are no less equal then white people.

He had to stoop a little to accommodate me, but if Miss Stephanie Crawford was watching from her upstairs window, she would see Arthur Radley escorting me down the sidewalk, as a gentleman would do.” (Lee 372.) This clearly demonstrates the theme by the kindness and innocence he shows when he asks Scout to walk him home. Scout finally sees Boo as more than a person, but a mockingbird, when she calls him “Mr. Arthur” and “Sir.” As shown, To Kill A Mockingbird develops the character Boo as a metaphor for a Mockingbird using how his image is based on lies and rumors, his caring heart when he puts a blanket around Scout’s shoulders, and his kind heart when he leaves presents for Jem and Scout and saves them from Bob

They are just one step ahead of them, yet in the midst of a situation he realizes that, “The sky was at its bluest.. My eyes widened, a smile forming on my face. Even in the middle of the madness there remained a true and natural beauty, and it took my mind away from my current situation. ”(Beah 59) Ishmael manages to take his mind off of what he is experiencing and focus on the natural beauty around him. This shows the magnitude of Ishmael’s innocence before becoming involved as a soldier.

“Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn, It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore – Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore. :( line 93-95).” He believed that a bird was a.. Edgar Allan Poe needed a “normal” to show what is not normal. If the bird was also crazy this would make both

In the essay "A Gringo in the Lettuce Fields," Thompson tells us about his errors and reminds us that he is an outsider. I believe the reason for this is because there is so much misconception that immigrants just come to America to take away these jobs from Americans. I also believe that immigrants know that Americans believe this to be true. With that being said, I think his target audience are both Americans and the immigrants doing this type of work. I think there is somewhat of an ignorance when it comes to understanding what this type of work entails and the damage it does to ones body.

Langston Hughes promotes tolerance and an understanding of racism in his poem “Harlem.” The poem questions what happens when people’s dreams are deferred, or postponed. He asks the readers if the dream dries “like a raisin in the sun” or if it “stinks like rotten meat” or if, instead, “does it explode” (Hughes 201). This use of negative imagery shows the reader what will happen if others, namely the African Americans Hughes wrote about, cannot reach their dreams. Dreams are a piece of people’s identity because it shows what they want out of life, so if their dreams shrink or rot, so too does the dreamer.

The Jim Crow Laws were seen in this book, and as a part of the Harlem Renaissance, were made fun of. “Each and every white man think he know all de GOOD darkies already. He don’t need tuh know no mo’.(p. 172)” Tea Cake is forced into cleaning up the dead from a hurricane and was discussing the treatment from the white enforcers while also making fun of them. This shows that Hurston was not afraid to make fun of white people and the idea of racial superiority.

‘’Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!’’ These specific words are carved into the bottom of our country’s mother, the Statue of Liberty. A country built on such great words, only to forget about them later in its years. The immigration reform policy that President Barack Obama and the current administration have created is something that will give us the hope our founding fathers had so many years ago.

Watkins’ chooses the literary device of foreshadowing at the start of this selection to emphasize his dissatisfaction on the trip and to provoke an emotional response from readers. To foreshadow is to warn or indicate an event. In this case, Watkins’ uses this tool to indicate the trip as melancholy. At the start of the trip where they set out from Culver City southwest of Los Angeles, where they were covering the 1970 auction of MGM’s, Watkins recalls that “(a genuine wake in the land of celluloid dreams; perhaps it should have told [him] something)” (Watkins 28).

Barbarism was another problem that contributed to the struggle for authority among the colonies and with British control as well. With Loyalty to Britain waning, the colonist looked for excuses to justify a revolutionary war. In Peter Silvers article, Barbarism and the American Revolution, he argues that the colonist used the discourse of “savagery”

Take-Home Exam: Examining “Scott Fitzgerald” in A Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition In the chapter, “Scott Fitzgerald,” Hemingway portrays how a good writer can be destroyed by alcoholism and a jealous wife. Immediately in the epigraph, Hemingway establishes that Scott is a natural writer, “[h]is talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on the butterfly’s wings” (Hemingway 126). However, his wings are described as “damaged” and Hemingway explains that he met him at a great moment in his career.
