Pleading

The first stanza of “Hanging Fire” by Audre Lorde focuses on the physical characteristics of the speaker. A nameless teenager who is stuck in this prolonged delay before adulthood. She is in a conflict with both her love interest and mother and is engaging in self-deprecation regarding her appearance. “My skin has betrayed me” prefaces the main use of visual imagery in the first stanza which is “how come my knees are so ashy”.

His primary motivation was to act according to God’s will since he no longer had confidence in anything he did. Actually, while he had divided his people and property into two camps or groups, Jacob seems to have lost confidence in anything he did and dependent on God who is sovereign. He could no longer depend on his decisions and actions but on the God who gives instructions and keeps covenant. In this second portion of verse 9, the author not only wants the audience to know that God is a…

Ayn Rand wants people to think that when a person loses their right to be an individual or have natural human things like family and love, life becomes meaningless to the ones taking part in it. The story portrays the suffering the citizens undergo by not being free and how they cannot understand their awful situation. Near the end of the novel it is shown that life gains meaning when people are allowed to be different and given choices to do the things they love. In Equality’s case he loves…

Now, a great many Frenchmen refuse to accept either capitulation or slavery, for reasons…

In Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven," the narrator is mourning and coping with the loss of his love, Elenore. In the midst of drifting into sleep, the narrator is awoken by a sound coming from the other side of his chamber door. Upon opening it, the narrator is befuddled to see nothing before him and no evidence as to where the sounds came from. Again he hears the noise, this time coming from the window.

The trial takes place in a theater which seems to be typical of Greek orient as the accused has to persuade the people of their innocence (Summers 514). It imitates a real trial well enough to trick Lucius who is pleading his innocence in fear through tears, resulting in the townspeople being convulsed with laughter (Summers 513). The people of Hypata laugh at his predicament just as the guests at Byrrhena’s dinner party derived pleasure from Thelyphron’s misfortune…
