summer was Surviving the Angle of Death. My feelings on this book were mixed. I liked it but at the same time the book made me very depressed. The whole thing just made me open my eyes to see what is really going on in this world. That is exactly what I wrote in my letter. In the poem i used three types of figurative language. The first type of figurative language is repetition. The next pieces of figurative language is Rhyme. The last pieces of figurative language is simile. I think I could…

Upon first reading, Yeats’ poetry can be challenging but it’s incredibly rewarding when deciphered. Despite complex language and abstract metaphors, Yeats employs many stylistic devices to make his poetry more accessible. The area I found most rewarding was his subject matter. The philosophical nature was very demanding but offered us a different perspective on both life and Irish history. On a technical level, Yeats’ poems are superb. In my opinion however, the simple things, executed…

“Law” Language Law of the Spirit of life in Christ (v 2)/ Law of sin and death (v 2)/ Law (v 3)/ Just requirement of the Law (v 4)/ God”s Law (v 7) Paul makes it clear that the the good news is still supported by law; it is not an anarchical system where people can do whatever they want, and God acts arbitrarily.

conversation regarding death by alcohol poisoning reveals the power of language to dictate human fate. Throughout their conversation, Mairtin and Mick use the word “sick” to describe vomit, with the phrase “drowned on sick” becoming a stand-in for death by asphyxiation on vomit (McDonagh 39). At first glance, these euphemisms seem to be simple ways of avoiding having to address death by its name.

People are scarcely dare speak plainly or reluctant to confront it directly for its mysterious and frightening, fearing that it would bring bad luck or a terrible curse.

John Donne’s “Death Be Not Proud” and Anne Finch’s “To Death” personify the abstraction of death through their manipulation of apostrophe and figurative language. Their vivid descriptions extend beyond a mere conversation with death, revealing their inner thoughts toward the inevitable demise of every human. Though examining the same theme, Donne and Finch develop vastly different tones. Donne’s tone of defiance juxtaposes Finch’s tone of resignation, cultivating these through the use of…
