I use two genres of text for my RIP project, which is plot related. It seems that my diary doesn’t have the audience, but my letter does have, but rhetor of both of the genres is the detective. One new concept to noir is that in the diary the detective doesn’t worry about other people would see his diary so that he could write anything in it, even talks bad about his client, Mrs. Chanler. However, in the letter, he uses polite, formal and official tone to tell his client what he was explored,…

The problem with the proposition lies in the future contingent tense. When you consider a disjunction of the two alternatives “Either there will be a Sea Battle tomorrow or there will not be…

the reader is also introduced to one of the most heartwarming father/son relationship in literature. Additionally, the boy meeting the friendly survivor at the end, “validates the man's words in physical and conceptual form,” (76) contrary to the fatalism the father feel for the future.

Through his writing of 1984, George Orwell crafted one of the most impactful commentaries on totalitarianism in literature. Containing ominous passages of a post-war dystopia, much of his work acts more effectively as a warning than a fictional story. Purposefully avoiding any particular political party to comment on, Orwell’s main focus is that The Party can maintain power through its methods of restricting free thought. Winston Smith, the protagonist, faces an internalized struggle with…
