Persona

the purpose of a work, and the methods used to achieve that purpose. There are six elements, not including purpose, that can be strategically used to achieve a goal: persona, audience, tone, structure, supporting materials, and other strategies (Campbell and Burkholder 21). This rhetorical analysis examines how Ann Richards uses persona during her Keynote Address to the 1988 Democratic National Convention to convince listeners that the current government is dividing the country and that equality…

The thoughts, desires, and memories of humans are a mystery to everyone in the world including themselves. As the persona of the poem a "Green Crab 's Shell" shows, the sad thing is that many people will never truly discover these things because they do not open themselves up and explore the deepest parts of their souls. The complex body of a dead crab is explored by the persona who compares it to a human and personifies it, to show that unlike the crab, humans have the ability to open…

Finding the Shadow According to Jungian psychology, there are two aspects of one’s identity: the “persona” and the “shadow.””. The “persona” is the outward appearance that an individual presents to the world, constructed to make a desirable impression upon others, and even upon oneself. The “shadow,” on the other hand, is the undesirable part of one’s personality hidden beneath consciousness. These extremes, according to Jennifer M. Volland’s “Stay: The Archetypal Space of the Hotel,” rarely…

individual. This is evident throughout the train journey of the persona, through the use of metaphor in “ One of those bright crockery days”. The use of metaphor is used to represent the aspect of rediscovery as the persona is reminded of his past domestic life when looking out the train window. In addition, there is a comforting freshness and purity in the metaphor describing the morning as it evokes fond memories from the past while the persona returns imaginatively to his formative years on…

very start of the poem through the game of hide and seek. We could see that the persona is extremely enthusiastic and confident. The poem Hide and Seek begins with “call out. Call loud: I’m ready! Come and find me! Scannell uses short sentences to illustrate the excitement of the persona. This highlights the statement that childhood is the most beautiful of all life season because the quotation reveals that the persona is extremely positive and…

fond experiences allow the persona to transcend the fleeting nature of life’s cycle. Harwood utilises the raw and confronting concern of death and loss to emphasise the importance of living expressively and relishing the moment. Harwood’s At Mornington and Mother Who Gave Me Life…

Flowers’, ‘Mending Wall’, and ‘Home Burial’ explores the progressions and influence of discovery on persona and the responder both negative and positive through the idea of humanity, isolation and solitude. The fact the discoveries can be a platform for renewed perceptions and be fresh and intensely meaningful and stimulate new ideas are represented in Roberts Frost’s ‘Tuft of Flowers’ whereby the persona discovers the common fellowship of the man as all individuals are connected in some way,…

chance upon each other, the environment immediately turns tense for both of them. The looks that this American throws at him are illustrated by the persona as derogatory, seeing as the persona interpreted them to translate as insults and verbal abuse. As seen in lines 13-14, the mailman’s looks apparently signify that he believes Filipinos, like the persona, are just meant to take this treatment. What makes this more interesting is that the mailman is not exactly a person of power or privilege.…

Death. In both poems Death is personified and is depicted as a gentleman caller. Yet Dickinson’s poem is a recollection of the persona’s death and Royes’ poem is the recalling of a dream the persona once had in which she struggled with Death and won. In the poem, Because I Couldn’t Stop For Death, the persona is reminiscing on the day she died. Death appears to her as a gentleman caller in a horse-drawn carriage. As they drive slowly towards their destination they pass all the places she…
