    On the 15th of June 2010 David Cameron’s delivered a prepared statement as an apology for the events of Bloody Sunday. A very challenging statement for a conservative PM to make as he had the challenge to make his speech very convincing to two groups of people, at the same time, with very different opinions on this very sensitive issue. This statement is a great example of the benefits of using a scripted language as opposed to spontaneous language. Mr Cameron was able to effectively use rhetorical devices and extended quotations. A spontaneous statement would not have had the same structure as this statement and as a consequence would not be convincing.…

    Since the dawn of time, societies have argued about the origins of true knowledge and whether it was a gift brought forth by a divine power or a direct consequence of self-discovery. Through, the ages, many notable writers such as Plato and Bacon provided their own views on the source of knowledge. In his short story the “Allegory of the cave”, Plato claims that by identifying our identities and breaking through the barriers created by our false perception, we will be able to access that source of true knowledge buried deep inside our minds. To illustrate this point, Plato uses metaphors, similes, and direct comparisons to establish relevance to the reader and life to the text. Likewise, Bacon elaborates on Plato’s ideas regarding the barriers…

    The use of symbolism in any story is meaningful and important. Whether symbolism is trying to show something that is out of context or it represents the true meaning of an object or idea in the story, symbolism provides knowledge on something that could not be clear in the plot and theme of any story. Symbolism helps the readers to understand a deeper meaning to any story. An excellent example of a story that has symbolism is “Hill like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway. The symbolism found in Ernest Hemingway’s work has important value to a story, but also can be interpreted by readers deeply and from a different point of view.…
