Shane Acker uses different aspects of sound, music, and image track to effectively deliver a well-crafted short, “9”. The opening and ending sequences both have a subtle, elegiac melody that establishes the dreary atmosphere of the film. Apart from this, there is very little music present throughout; as a result, this piece of music bookends the short. The sound in “9” is mostly practical and largely from objects, such as footsteps on the ground. The minimal use of sound in this film establishes…

Phillis Wheatley: An Outstanding Poet Phillis Wheatley is an African-American poetess. Although she was an African slave Wheatley was one of the best known writers in the middle years of the 1700’s. Wheatley impressed everyone she met, proving to the world that the color of one’s skin indicates one’s intelligence.

white people, or vice versa depending on the situation. In part four of the poem, the “victims of violence write letters back to their assailants” (Ford 165). Not only does the idea of deceased victims sending letters to their assailants relate to an elegiac, but it also contributes to the overall theme of injustice. The assailants targeted and attacked innocent victims unjustly, and regardless of whether or not they experienced the consequences, it was an offense not worth following suit. This…

included in the Romantic canon. I will firstly look at Charlotte Smith who, arguably, began the Romanticism tradition since she predates and influenced William Wordsworth. By looking at Smith’s ‘Written in the Church-Yard at Middleton in Sussex,’ from Elegiac Sonnets, and Beachy Head, I hope to express the connection between Smith’s poetry and Wordsworth’s. Anna Letitia Barbauld was another influence upon the male canonical writers. Barbauld is the more politically motivated of these two poets.…

Within a reality encircled of spiritual deaths and where the forces of time and death calls and lurks on their prey, is a man who lost himself in every sense. Among an industrialized dark world in which a reasonable sign of vivacity is seldom found, is the present time for the man who oughts to believe his mind and soul are rich in color.

One instance of this is the presence of ofermode, or too much pride, in both the anonymous poem, The Battle of Maldon, written in A.D. 991 and George Orwell’s modern story, Animal Farm. In The Battle of the Maldon, the pirates succeed in using Earl Byrtnoth’s pride in order to allow them onto his land despite the Earl knowing it will most likely have devastating effects on his men and the people he defended. In Animal Farm,…
