In both A Seperate Peace and “A Poison
Tree”, the authors explore how anger can change the way a person deals with a situation. Both
Authors claim that Anger can seek into you and change how you act as a person. Many people deal with their anger by holding grudges against people to cope. Passage one shows how the narrator let his grudge toward his foe grow until the problem was unfixable. In the passage
“i was angry with my friend:/i told my wrath, my wrath did end:/ I was angry with my foe:/ I told it not, my wrath did grow. This supports the controlling idea because the narrator did not express his resentment towards his foe and his wrath became more powerful and worsened. In the passage “In the morning glad i see;/ My foe outstretched beneath the tree. This supports the controlling idea because its showing how the narator was joyous over the fact that his foe was dead underneith a tree that symbolizes growth. This supports the controlling idea because he let his anger get the best of him and made his forget that enemies dont deserve wrath.
For example in A Seperate Peace, Genes jelousy and resenment to finny is very strong that he even attempted to hurt finny. “you see, kill me,now you know what it is! i did it because i felt like that, now you go yourself”. The second passage shows how genes wrath made his friend or in his eyes,his foe, fall out of a tree intentinally and instead of confronting finny about his anger towards him, he let the wrath grow and grow untill finny got hurt. For example “This time he wasn't going to get away with it. I could feel myself becoming unexpectedly excited at that”. This supports the controlling idea because its showing how genes reaction to finnys failure is showing his happiness that he didnt win for the first time and his anger and jelousy were showing. Although the two authors used two diffrent forms of expression, both are able to effectively convey how anger is a coping mechanism

    Paragraph 7 contributes to the ideas in the text by showing that people got violent when others were just trying to make a change for the good. In paragraph 7 sentence 5 the author states, "When the buses reached Anniston, Alabama, an angry mob slashed the tires on one bus and set it aflame." The integrated black and white students were trying to take a stand and make a change. Yes, the people were breaking the law by driving all together, but others did not have to put them in danger for trying to make a change and do something right. This shows that others were breaking the law just as much as the integrated students.…

    Diction In The Rattler

    As the snake dies it “strikes passionately once more at the hoe” and “there is blood in his mouth and poison dripping from his fangs.” The imagery dramatizes the image of the snake’s power being drained. The reader can visualize the transition from a once fierce snake to a lifeless carcass. In response to the killing of the snake, the man feels regret for the necessity of the circumstance, as “it was all a nasty sight, pitiful…” and “he could see it as he might have let it go, sinuous and self respecting in departure over the twilit sands.” This is a reflection of what could have been, and reveals the man’s conflicting feelings on what was necessary. The pitiful scene of the snake’s death adds to the man’s regret. The imagery in the passage emphasizes the idea of “what could have been” and therefore the man’s internal…

    The passage evokes feelings of sympathy by providing details about the man's feelings and thoughts. A scene in which the passage evokes feeling is when the man is out for a walk and he unexpectedly comes upon the snake in middle of the path. The speaker's first instinct "was to let him [the snake] go on his way," and he would go his. This scene serves to vindicate the man from the notion that he went looking for a snake to kill as a hunter would. The passage goes on describe the indecision of the man about whether he should let the snake go or kill it. The man finally decides that "there were children, ...men and women lightly shod at the ranch ...[and his duty] was to kill the snake." Description of the man's indecision coaxes the reader to look upon the man with more sympathy because he had made the decision only because he felt it was his duty; if it weren't for his sense of duty, he might have let the snake go. The passage also arouses sympathy for the man by describing his regrets after he kills the snake. The man buries "him near the close guardianship of the bush. Then for a moment [he] could see him as [he] might have let him go." The man's regret arouses pity in the reader's heart since his genuine regret questions his decision by demanding whether a precious life or one's duty is more important.…

    Chris McCandless‘s admirers are wrong to believe that he was a deeply honest person. At some moments in Into the Wild, he was not an honest person. According to Westerberg, a McCandless’s friend, said, “He never explained why he’d changed his name” (Krakauer 18). When McCandless decided to make a trip into the wild, he changed his name; he did not even bring any identification with him. During the trip, everybody knew about him under the name Alex. Westerberg was a friend that was close to McCandless, but he never knew McCandless’s real name until he discovered from McCandless’s tax form. Westerberg was so surprised, but he did not ask McCandless the reason why he changed his name. Westerberg knew something happened between McCandless and his father, which McCandless never told him. Unfortunately, he did not have a change to hear the truth from McCandless. The significance about changing his name was that McCandless did not want everybody to know the truth of his personality. He hid everything about himself and his family, except his sister. It was a pain in his heart when he thought about his father. Beside this, McCandless was also a dishonest person in his family. He kept all things he knew about his father inside, even his sister. In Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer wrote, “but he did not confront his parents with what he knew, then or ever. He chose instead to make a secret of his dark knowledge and express his range obliquely, in silence and sullen withdrawal” (Krakauer 123). These actions by McCandless suggest much about his character. His problem with his father could be solved if he told the truth with his parents, but he never did that. He just kept inside and became angry to his father, even lying to his friend with a new name. Lying with his friend and his family was lying to himself. He could not stand it because his father was lying to him and his mother, but he still repeated the mistake of telling lies with his parents. Keeping…

    The Rattler Essay

    The author uses diction in the passages to signify the effect of the author¡¯s meaning in story and often sway readers to interpret ideas in one way or another. The man in the story arrives to a ¡°[dry] desert¡± where he accosts an animal with ¡°long-range attack¡± and ¡°powerful fangs.¡± The author creates a perilous scene between the human and animal in order to show that satisfaction does not come from taking lives. With instincts of silence and distrust, both of them freeze in stillness like ¡°live wire.¡± In addition, the man is brought to the point where animal¡¯s ¡°tail twitched,¡± and ¡°the little tocsin sounded¡± and also he hears the ¡°little song of death.¡± With violence ready to occur, the man tries to protect himself and others with a hoe, for his and their safety from the Rattler. The author criticizes how humans should be ¡°obliged not to kill¡±, at least himself, as a human. The author portrays the story with diction and other important techniques, such as imagery, in order to influence the readers with his significant lesson.…

    The scene is when Marion arrives at the hotel. After checking in she is invited to have dinner with Norman. While she is getting settled Norman goes back into the house and Marion overhears He and his "Mother" arguing about Marion eating dinner there. He instead brings the dinner down to her where they begin to talk. While talking she gives her opinion of what he should do with his mother because she is "very ill". Throughout this scene you get an idea of how Norman feels about his mother, and why he feels like he need to be there for her. This scene to me relates to the movie as a whole because all of the things that the viewer was told during this part of the movie is later explained at the end. How Norman's mother dies 10 years ago but to customers, and to himself, he acts as if she is still living. He also says that his mother couldn't deal with the death of her boyfriend and is having a hard time dealing with his death as well as Norman's father. When in fact, Norman poisoned both the boyfriend and the mother. We also believe the mother to be doing the murdering but it has been Norman dressed in women clothes and a wig. The anatomy of the film i feel is in this scene but is slowly broken down and explained more in depth throughout the remainder of the movie.…

    Each year, children are spending less time outdoors playing and more time indoors watching television. With all the time spent indoors, physical activity and exercise is greatly lacking in children today, which is contributing to the rise of childhood obesity. Instead of riding bikes with friends or playing sports in the street, children are sitting slumped on the couch, staring at the television, with no motivation to stimulate activity. This is in part to the content of the programing as well as the advertisements during commercial breaks. In the midst of these programs are advertisements for the newest toys that every child wants to have. During the hours that children typically watch television, broadcasting networks are playing advertisements that spark interest in a child, convincing children that they need these new games and toys. Fun and exciting ads are not the only factor in the rise of obesity, along with toys and games; non-nutritious advertising is playing its role in this as well. The food displayed is of no nutritional content, which of course, is exactly what children want. Again, these ads are sending children into a frenzy, begging parents to purchase these food products. “Food is the most commonly advertised product on children’s television” (Zimmerman & Bell, 2010, pp. 336-337). Many studies have been conducted in regard to television viewing and childhood obesity and statistics indicate that the main cause of obesity in children watching television is the advertisements for food during children’s programming Regardless of whether the programs are educational or strictly entertaining, television programs that contain advertisements during the show are linked to contribution of obesity in children, according to Zimmerman & Bell (2010). DVD’s and television programs that contain no in-program ads, such as Nick Jr., appear to have a drastically reduced association. Watching television does not have…

    Ordinary Life Paragraph

    Sometimes in life it is easy to take the small things for granted. The poem, “ordinary life” by Barbra crooker is subject to irony, starting from the first line to the last. The behaviour of the children, the activities of the speaker, and the seasonal characteristics of the day, all prove to be more than “ordinary”: they are like “an unexpected gift” for the speaker and her family. Ordinarily the children are reluctant to leave for school, but on this day they go “without a murmur” and remember to take their “books, lunches, and gloves”.…

    He stood about five foot seven, however with his broad shoulders and huskiness, he looked shorter than average. His reddish-brown hair was newly cut and freshly brushed it looked like an ocean of waves in his head. On his plump face, normally scratchy and prickly, is also a newly cut reddish-brown mustache and goatee. His unusual light skin makes it hard for him to get or keep a tan. He just gets a shade of red in the sun then right back to normal out of it, but if he did get a tan, no one would be able to see the brown freckles around his nose. It’s no wondered how he received the nickname Red Man. On this particular day, his day, he wore his favorite pair of gold diamond earrings that shined so brilliant when the sun hit them a rainbow would appear. He also wore his favorite gold necklace with a diamond shaped medallion that has diamonds on it shaped into a cross. The necklace hung so low it touched his stomach. The necklace he had tucked under his shirt so no one could see it, but I new it was there. He wore a white collared button-up shirt with silver rectangular cuff links that had a small diamond in one corner. On top of the white shirt was an indigo and black suit vest. His bottoms were somewhat baggy black polyester dress pants with shiny black lines on the sides of both legs held up by a black belt with a silver buckle that spelled out Redd. His black shoes were so shiny; he looked like he just stepped off a shoe shine stand. The biggest thing that made him so unique was his creamy white double breasted suit jacket. It had black buttons and one indigo colored flower in the pocket. Despite his previous feeling of being uncomfortable in wearing a lighter color because of his size, his choice made him look especially handsome. It was perfect for his day.…
