Apostrophe Essays

By speaking directly to the dagger Macbeth clutches in his hand, the author creates an apostrophe. Using powerful diction such as “clutch”, “fatal”, and “false” the author is able to make a hesitant, surreal, and eerily sinister tone. Macbeth is portrayed to be uncertain, yet sure, ready, yet unprepared, and willing, yet hesitant to murder the beloved King Duncan. This helps see how devoted Macbeth is to Duncan, yet how far he is willing to go in order to be king. It also emphasizes the reason why

can drive a person to abandon their morals, and he adopts an unhinged tone in order to affectively shock his audience to its severity. Throughout the play, Shakespeare uses apostrophe, symbolism, and foreshadowing to show that desire for power can lead one’s own destruction. Throughout the drama, Shakespeare uses apostrophe as a way to communicate a character’s emotions to the reader; he does this with Macbeth as well as Lady Macbeth, and while both instances portray how desire for power can lead

Memories can be as vivid as the day they occurred. In my opinion, this is truest when it comes to childhood memories. As a child, my parents, my younger siblings, and I went every summer to our cabin on Wabamun Lake, located in Fallis. These are where some of my fondest childhood memories occurred and remain with me to this very day. On these vacations, I spent time with my family, heard my moms memories, saw the town, explored nature, and enjoyed the quiet. Spending time with my family was my

This is exactly what happened to the narrator of The Seventh Man. And after all the time that passed, he shouldn’t feel responsible for his friend, K.’s death anymore. The seventh man, after “failing” to protect K, felt responsible for his death. It's easy to argue that he should feel responsible for his death because he left K when he clearly needed help. However, K was the one who was not paying attention, and the seventh man did call K to warn him about the incoming wave. K is responsible for

Extreme Sports have caused 4 million injuries since the year, 2000. And they are still being played! People are BMX biking, skateboarding, mountain-climbing, snowboarding and skiing, everyday. Is it really worth it to do a backflip on a snowboard knowing you could die? I don’t think it’s worth it, at all. If you did injure yourself playing an extreme sport, not only are you hurting yourself, you are also hurting your family and friends. You are hurting them in a different way. A more powerful way

In the novella, Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, George’s decision to kill Lennie at the end of the novel was justified. George and Lennie were best friends, and have been since they were little. They got ran out of Weed(the old farm they used to work at) for harassing a girl and not letting her go. He was just scared from her screaming and kicking. He didn’t mean to harm, or scare her.

Autobiography I was standing there at the edge of a fifty foot tall cliff petrified with anxiety and fear. This wasn't a stupid attempt at suicide, rather a stupid attempt at having fun before summer inevitably comes. I knew my summer already wasn't going to be fun, I signed up for algebra 2 summer school classes. So I and a few friends decided we would go to Maunawili Falls a 6 mile hike to a waterfall with a 50 foot cliff. It took us 2 hours of being covered in sweat, going through

Ouch! My fingers are tingling and I can’t feel my arm. I hope that the pain will go away sometime soon. I have never felt anything like this before. I’ve never had this much pain. Am I injured? Will I ever be able to do gymnastics again. How am I going to last for the rest of the cruise? So many questions swarmed through my brain. I couldn’t bare that much longer. I had never been so worried. Some of my closest family and friends and I are having the time of our life on a carnival cruise ship. Sadly

As I walk out of Mr.Fiedler’s fourth hour social class, I wonder what kind of mood the evil Mrs.Berntson will be in today. I turn the corner and see all of the seventh graders come out room 224 screaming in fright. Oh great, I thought to myself. I approached the door and carefully step into the classroom making sure nothing jumps out at me. I step into the classroom only to see my witch looking teacher with black hair and warts covering her face standing in the corner of the room. “Welcome to another

More than 4,000 people went through the hell of climbing Mount Everest. Even though those many people attempted to climb Mount Everest, more than 290 people have died in the process. For being more than 29,000 feet above sea level, of course, there are many issues that come with it. First, the oxygen becomes thinner and thinner the higher climbers go. Second, the conditions that climbers are being put at are atrocious. Lastly, overcrowding is one of the biggest killers whilst climbing the giant know

The Seventh Man I don’t know if you can fully recover from a tragedy; I believe that it depends on the severity/magnitude of the situation and how much it affected you. Many things affect the recovery process, such as: having a good support system, therapy, and coping mechanisms. The human mind is vast and complex, and everyone is different. We don’t know for sure what helps with traumatic events. Maybe with time, the pain will lessen, but some things stay with you and play a drastic role in shaping

As I stepped out onto the field, my gaze drifted upward. The sky was speckled with millions of tiny, glittering stars. We were so isolated out here that even the Milky Way was visible. I had never seen it in person before. That’s just one of those things that only happens at camp, the most magical place I know. Still admiring the constellation, I took a deep breath of cool mountain air and started walking. Under the dim light, I could see the faint features of my cabin mates and my counselors. Even

Over 230 people have died and over 200 bodies still are on the sides of Mount Everest! That is from people putting their lives at risk.
