Piggy is overweight, short-sighted, and asthmatic. His physical inferiority to the other boys on the island makes him a representation of weakness. In this natural, wild setting where survival is key, it becomes clear to the reader that Piggy will not make it off the island alive. The third conflict illustrated in the earlier chapters is one of order versus chaos. Ralph represents logic, responsibility, civility, reason, and order. He is clearly feeling frustrated by the immature…

1. In the opening paragraph, King has a very sarcastic tone but with some respect tied to it. He incorporates sarcasm because the audience knows that he does not have secretaries helping him and the only thing he can do is answer. He includes respect in this very sarcastic paragraph by saying that he does not answer many of his letters but they are “men of genuine good” so King feels it is necessary to respond. This opening paragraph is very ironic because the readers understand that he has no…

The main advantage for this program format is that they are able to produce three to four half hour shows in one day for the upcoming week, which saves time. As the production team need to produce a lot of programs in a short period of time this technique is almost essential, also many things that happen in game shows only happen once (such as winning money and reactions) so it is very important for atmosphere purposes to capture many shots from different angles so the editing process is easier.…

Authors throughout history have utilized our senses to connect the reader to the characters in the novel in a symbiotic relationship. Without our connection and relatability, the impact of the struggles a character faces would not be the same on the reader. This is held true for Kate Chopin’s The Awakening. Chopin employs auditory allusions to foreshadow the fate of the protagonist Edna Pontellier. These small breadcrumbs of allusions placed throughout the novel lead us down the path of…

Compare and Contrast The two stories A Secret Sorrow by Karen Van der Zee and A Sorrowful Woman by Gail Godwin can be seen to have contrasting qualities. Primarily, A Secret Sorrow conveys a cliché love story of a woman, Faye; who can’t have kids and is scared of being a disappointment to her soon to be husband, Kai. However, they work out their issues, adopt kids, and live happily ever, “in the low white ranch house under the blue skies of Texas…” (Zee 37). Second, A Sorrowful Woman is…

There are many literary devices writers throughout history have utilized. One of the most powerful, yet complicated literary device is irony. Irony occurs when what a reader expects to happen is the complete opposite of the actual outcome. Irony helps illustrate humor especially in the works “Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” by Mark Twain and “Good Country People” by Flannery O’Connor. “Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” is a framed narrative that tells the tale of Jim Smiley…

scene should be filmed, can make or break a movie. Varied filming techniques throughout a movie are important so as not to lose interest, but certain themes work well among genres.

Robert Frost’s poem “Out, Out--“ appears to be, on the surface, about a young boy who, while working, cuts his hand with a saw and dies. When delving deeper into the poem it seems to be about death.

It is as if it is the only way the narrator can deal with the tragedy is to become distant from what is…
