    In the passage, "George Odger's Funeral" by Henry James, published on July 1877 in Lippincott's Magazine, the aristocrat sees the funeral as a "grotesque" view on a "magnificent" day. It is the mourning ceremony of George Odger's passing, a humble man who intended to help the common itinerant people of England if he won a place in government. James wasn't fond of a poor man running for a chair in government. He saw it as insulting and disgusting. Henry James' diction portrays his loathsome feelings towards the ceremony in action.…

    President Obama delivered the eulogy at Rev. Clementa Pinckney’s funeral. Throughout the entire speech, the President had patterns within his delivery such as pauses at critical moments and the rise and fall in vocal patterns. He would pause after speaking about God as well as forgiveness, as if to allow the audience to reflect on his words. Major patterns in the message included references to biblical stories, God, the idea of forgiveness needing to be directed towards the attacker, and giving grace. Prior to listening to the eulogy, I had read articles about the attack that happened at the church.…

    O’Brien’s usage of rhetorical elements such as narration from different point of views (which is “made up” or exaggerated) and several rhetorical techniques provide support to the various arguments he makes in his work of The Things They Carried. The rhetorical mode of this book is mainly narration. It is made up of the viewpoints of several different characters and the story that follows. This “jumping” of several viewpoints is one of the things he argues about; and that is, the fact that “story-truth is truer sometimes than happening-truth (171).”, according to him. This ideology is evident in his work because the narrations are almost all “made up”.…

Finally, the grandmother decides to offer the Misfit money in exchange for her life, this when the Misfit utters such meaningful words. O’Connor’s use of diction in this single line maintains the Misfits facade. Although, the Misfit appears uneducated, he speaks with great value and intelligence.…

    In “Odger’s Funeral,” by Henry James, the debasing and reproachful tones reflect the author’s superiority complex towards George Odger as well as the lower class. The author continues to degrade those of lower classes throughout the passage. James’ diction emphasizes the narcissism and sardonicism behind the author’s comments directed towards the lower class. James stating that Odger “knocked in vain” it shows his disrespect and indifference towards Odger. He then tries to redeem his flippant comments by referring to Odger as an “honorable man.”…

    The selection I choose to discuss is, you guess it, “A good man is hard to find” by Flannery O’Connor. This selection tells of a grandmother trying to impart wisdom to her son on how to raise her grandchildren despite his vehement arrogance. According to the Holy Bible, “Trained up a child that way they should go which will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). According to Fiola, (2012), “Sublime evidence of the appeal of allegory may found is Christ’s use of the parable: a brief narrative-usually allegorical but sometimes not that teaches moral (p. 472, paragraph 2) Character…

    It is not until later on in the story that we find out the mysterious letter is one addressed to James’ friend Ralphy in Arizona. The letter features another one of James’ intricate lies, this one being that his mother had been “coughing up blood,” followed by, “the doctors weren’t sure what was wrong with her…” By starting the story off so ambiguously, Wolff creates a distance between the reader and the narrator, which allows for the narrator to become increasingly more likeable as the story progresses. In the beginning, we know very little about James, and as a result, feel very little emotional attachment to his character. However, as the narrator reveals more about his pre-existing circumstance, we are able to sympathize with him and develop a deeper understanding as to what has led him to fictionalize his life.…

    He believed that being rich doesn’t make you better than the poor. One way he supports his idea is the concept of their graves. He said even though the rich tend to be buried in bigger graves, he likes the simplicity of the smaller graves that the poor have. In the text he says, “the short and simple annals of the poor.” What he means by this is he thinks that poor people die long before they get to leave their mark on the world.…

    A Pretty Face The Victorian era’s heavily influential patriarchal standpoint became the basis of the misogyny seen during this time. Men would often regard the women as nothing more than second class citizens and even as their own property- these views only attributed to the sentiments and feelings they had towards them. If ever women should seek a voice in that society men would take immediate action to force them into uncomfortable situations as they did not perceive women as actually possessing their own voice. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde is a misogynistic novella that is made evident by the perils and later suicide of Sybil Vane due to Dorian’s impacts, the tragic love life of Margaret Devereux due to her father’s influence…
