Jet Jet, written by Tony Hoagland, uses imagery, diction, and allusion to convey his joyance in being young. By using these literary devices he is able to describe his craving for being young again. In Hoagland's first stanza it says “Sometimes i wish i were still out on the back porch, drinking jet fuel…” which automatically shows that he misses his youth. That also sets up a care free tone with a hint of regret. Hoagland also has a lot of parts in the poem where he was enjoying living in…

Many of the challenges observed in Beowulf that the society of Herot faced are comparable to the struggles of Anglo-Saxon society.

The Second Great Awakening brought forth a new form of thinking. The Evangelists of this movement brought up many abolitionists that believed in the immediate emancipation of all slaves and end of racial discrimination. These new developing views became quite prominent in the mid…

In the Shakespearean play “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar”, Mark Antony’s speech, following the death of Julius Caesar, is more effective in persuading the audience than that of Brutus because Antony’s speech uses ethos and pathos to the audience in more substantial ways. After Antony begins to rile the crowds’ emotions, he exclaims, “I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts: / I am no orator, as Brutus is; / But, as you know me all, a plain blunt man” to emphasize that he is equal to those…

The media’s watchful eyes will perhaps contaminate their actions; which…

By giving this patient independence in this task he will be able to…
