Synecdoche

VI. LENORE Poe comes back to his successive topics of death and excellence in "Lenore," where, as in a number of his works, the soul of an as of late expired young lady overwhelms the portrayal in spite of her absence of a physical nearness. As in some of his different ballads, for example, "Annabel Lee," the dead cherished is seen through the eyes of her male living mate and thus comes to exemplify the apex of excellence and flawlessness in her demise. The accentuation on her reasonableness and…

In the film, Ponthan Mada, TV Chandran used metonymy to visualize the shared experience of alienation between characters along with the associated class differences existing among them. The scene, where Mada is stuck in front of car, and the follow up shot from the inside of a fast moving car metonymically signifies as someone anachronous to the present century and of a lower status. The repeated scene, where Mada communicates with Sheema Thampuran by climbing on the palm tree metonymically…

Her body can be killed or injured, but not her soul. In other words, the soul is stronger than the body, as stated in the lines, “Behind this mortal bone/There knits a bolder one” (“No Rack” 3–4). With the phrase “mortal bone,” Dickinson is using synecdoche to represent the physical body. Bone is a fundamental part of the human body, and the human body will die; however, closely joined with this body is “a bolder one,” the soul, which is immortal and will last beyond the death of the body. This…

Stupid Sweetness Preston and I have an interesting relationship. We could not be more different, but we also could not be more similar(paradox). He is more outgoing and loud, I am more quiet; he says his opinions and doesn’t care what others think, I am more reserved and like to please people. In contrast, we both act so stupid when we’re together, both have the same humor, and both have the best time together. One big moment does not define our relationship; instead, many different and special…

Democracy, in which our Founding Fathers proudly introduced as the foundation of our government, is constantly protected and expanded (or at least attempted) by our Presidents. For example, during the Cold War when communism threatened democratic ideology, the U.S. responded with a “containment” policy to protect democratic peace. Recently, however, the same ideology that our generations of leaders sought to protect, is going through a slow but steady decline, with low voter turnouts and…

The judicial role of determining constitutionality looks like a seemingly simple process: the judge, an important part of the separation of powers, determines whether a law is in accordance with the constitution or not. In reality, the responsibility of the judicial system is far from that generalized perspective, and this is where the great debate begins. When interpreting the constitution, there are two distantly polar ways of reading it. There are originalists (Scalia and Bork) who contend…

convention not just show chaos in the poet’s emotions, but also stress the lines’ importance. An emphasis of “I have forgotten” (2), highlights the insignificance of past lovers in the “first two lines” (Laird 32). The third line continues “body part synecdoches” (Schurer 95). Millay forgets “what arms have lain under [her] head” (Millay 647); the intimacy of her body parts contrast with her current “distance from the experience” (Schurer 95). Difference in meter separates each poem’s message…

War never changes, it only causes change in the lives of the people affected by its outcome. War brings expected physical weight upon soldiers, but physical weight is not the only burden that soldiers carry. Soldiers carry unexpected emotional burdens that can cause them to become distracted from the real danger which is war. Emotional burdens can also outweigh the weight of physical burdens. In The things they Carried, O’Brien illustrates how emotional burdens are a weight that cannot be…

During the founding era of America, the American colonies initially directed their corruption anxiety towards Britain. However, this concern shifted focus when the Framers realized the impending civic corruption in their own country that threatened their own attempts to create a structure of self-government. This shift suggests the variable nature of corruption and its ability to fluctuate based on perspective. In Corruption in America, Zephyr Teachout uses the generations of the Framers to…

no longer is and places that no longer are. These are their pasts they can never reclaim. Their monologues about her regretting not being bothered with kittens and him wishing to go back and apologize to his Grandmother about the broken vase are synecdoches. These are small parts of their memories of their entire childhoods before they met each other. The cat story also has something to do with her maternal instinct. At first, she took tender care of the kittens but she abandoned them when she…
