Language is more than a method of purely transferring interpretation; it can also transfer emotion. Whereas voice involves cadence, body assertion, and even facial articulation, the words written on a page are compelled to demonstrate more than just what is being told through a series of other strategies and manners usually implanted in the writer’s voice. Both the memoirs I Have Lived a Thousand Years by Livia Bitton-Jackson, and Night by Elie Wiesel, transfer the nature of oppression through…

 In my book a proper leathering is all about a lad having to push himself to take the next lick like a man throughout his leathering.  Yes, I'd agree that that's a key ingredient of a proper leathering, which should push a lad to the edge of his endurance. You certainly did that to me on Saturday. The last five minutes of the leathering seemed to continue to be hell on earth for you, as I stoked up the inferno in your buttocks. A couple of times it seemed like you could not believe…

Fluctuations and Family Uncle Vili of Andre Aciman’s Out of Egypt memoir is manipulative and unreliable; he is also innovative, passionate, and a leader to his family. Some aspects of him are central and signature, while others are completely fluid. Vili is made of contrasts in morality, quality, and loyalty. It is difficult to guess who the true Vili is. Does he really, at his core, care about his family? Is he simply using them when it is convenient, or are they important to him but…

of the Twentieth Century. Complaining about the “flimsiness” of his own religious faith, Ruskin exclaimed: “If only the Geologists would let me alone, I could do very well, but those dreadful hammers! I hear the clink of them at the end of every cadence of the Bible verses”(qtd. in Abrams 2: 882). The damage mourned by Ruskin was of two kinds: First the scientific approach was applied towards the study of the Bible itself. Bible was treated not as a sacred text but as a mere book with…

The great amount of respect and admiration a child has for their mother’s courage is abundantly evident throughout Edna St. Vincent Millay’s, “The Courage That My Mother Had.” Simultaneously, the poem conveys feelings of betrayal. Millay’s poem, through strong associations with equality as strong words, such as “rock” and “granite,” infers the general theme of the poem and the amount of titular courage the poem’s mother possessed. The narrator uses several different types of figurative language…

Matthew Arnold’s Dover Beach, an insightful poem, warns its readers about the dangers of the world in an attempt to make them feel better. The poem compares the harsh reality of its readers’ isolation in the world to various images of oceanic scenes. In his first stanza, Arnold emphasizes the importance of distinguishing the difference between illusion and reality through his constant change from a beautiful to disheartening tone.

With what is currently happening in the U.S. Presidential race, it is, perhaps now more important than ever before, to understand what it means to take a rhetorical stance. If one has been watching the previous three presidential debates, one should surely notice some ways of speaking and getting points across, often poorly and to zero effect on the intelligent viewer, designed not only to convey information, but inject emotion and opinion, and even attempt to subtly manipulate. Repetitions of…

establishes the ambivalence of the opera, its perilous balance of humor and tragedy. The full sonata form has been interpreted as a portrait of Giovanni, or as justice (the heavy five-note figure) pursuing the mercurial seducer. There is no final cadence; the coda modulates to a new key (F major) for the opening…
