The short paragraph of “The Centaur” had an extensive amount of repetition, highlighting certain important aspects, such as “Laughter” (lines 2,5,6,16), “Pain” (lines 2,8,9,12,13), “Privacy” (twice in line 7), and “class” (1,5, maybe 15). “The Centaur” also displays imagery through the use of a metaphor throughout the text in its explanation of laughter referring to the arrow, and the crowd against him which makes him crave privacy away from the pain. The use of repetition and imagery centers the main idea, by showing emotions and reaction to the situation that Caldwell was experiencing. Cadwell felt enclosed by pain and embarrassment from the classes laughter. This once again forced him to face the truth as he describes facing truth, as an arrow filling him with this stinging pain and embarrassment. The truth is so powerful that he leaves the room craving privacy from the students mocking him. Similarly in the short introduction of “Laughing in the Hills” it repeats “Cancer/disease” (lines 2,5,17,19), “Family/we/us/our” (lines 13,19,20) “slippage...slipping” (lines 3,13) “Take the sun” (lines 15,16). “Laughing in the Hills” projects several hints of imagery within its tone using words such as lost, failed, dead, nothing, slipping, wrong, and increasingly emphasizing that none of these words are positive at all. In addition, it refers to mountains giving way to flatlands, suggesting that the once powerful mother who was a ruler over her kids had fallen and lost her control and power because of this strong disease. They also talk about lawns brittle with frost and the feeling of her fingers. These phrases lead readers to uncover more information about the passage that directs them to the message. Throughout the introduction, there were many words and phrases with repeated ideas and imagery that gave a negative connotation. The repeated phrases emphasis on the idea of their mother
