    Air Balloon During The Civil War Essay

    The Civil War was a time of tremendous change and innovation. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Americans witnessed the invention of numerous life changing machines. The 1800's brought the arc lamp, printing presses, photography, steam locomotives, telegraphs, revolvers, and the safety pin (About 1). The year of 1783 marked the invention of the air balloon. Over the next few decades scientists and adventurers modified and improved upon the original concepts of the air balloon. The air balloon, not to be mistaken with the hot air balloon, was often filled with helium or other light gases to get off the ground. The most primitive were even filled with smoke. During the early sessions of the Civil War we can see that air balloons played a major role in gathering battlefield information. Peter Jackson, a historian of air balloons has stated that "captive balloons were some of the first air balloons used during a period of war."…

    In the poem “Icarus,” Christine Hemp uses literary devices to convey that a father-son relationship can be problematic. Hemp pulls a twist on the original myth, and retells it in Icarus’ point of view. Her version of the myth shows that Icarus wasn’t very fond of his father Daedalus; however Daedalus didn’t realize that Icarus wanted to be free. “bound by the string…for years to untie TO I didn’t know…to return” (#14 and 15 TO 16 and 17) This quote portrays the emotion Icarus feels towards his father by the use of irony. At this point, the reader understands that Icarus had to deal with Daedalus with only the hope of exiting the prison, but once free he longs to be away from his father. Christine Hemp threw a new strand of emotion into the mix by showing that Icarus wanted to be free; as doing so, he caused a catastrophe. “Poor Daedalus, his mouth an O below, his hands outstretched to catch the rain…” (#18 and 19) This excerpt shows diction, which illustrates Daedalus’ innocence with the words ‘poor’ and ‘O below’. Hemp also tried to show the difference between Icarus and Daedalus by using asyndeton. “my clumsiness with figures, father’s calm impatience, cool logic, interminable devising.” (#8 and 9) This shows Icarus’ reasons as to why he doesn’t like Daedalus, and why he tries to be better than his father. Since Daedalus is clueless, he couldn’t prevent Icarus’ death; now the reader can infer that Daedalus will have a life of sorrow and regret, without knowing the truth. Hemp’s use of the devices diction, irony, and asyndeton help the reader further understand the myth in a way the original myth couldn’t.…

    he conveys the perspective of human conflict as being gruesome, monstrous and full of unthinkable hardships and reveals the reality of war. He conveys this by using strong emotive verbs that make a graphic image in the mind of the reader and emphasises the pain and suffering the soldiers are going through for example in Dulce Et Decorum Est he uses the words “choking”, “guttering”, “smothering” and “drowning”. These words are disturbing and really highlight the reality of war and get his perspective across to the reader. Similarly he uses onomatopoeia and imagery to create the horrendous sights and sounds of war in the responders mind. In Anthem for Doomed Youth he uses onomatopoeia and sound imagery in the lines “Only the shuttering riffles’ rapid rattle “and “The shrill, demented choir of wailing shellssfdsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-…

    In literature, the recurrence of images, ideas, events or symbols can develop and embellish the themes to make them more remarkable, prevalent, and meaningful. In “Macbeth”, William Shakespeare uses the repeating motif of hallucinations, inflicted by inner demons or other people, to help the reader realize and develop the importance of the two major themes; unchecked ambition and overwhelming guilt. The multiple reappearances of hallucinations such as the dagger and the three apparitions reinforce and develop the theme of unchecked ambition while the hallucinations of blood and the ghost of Banquo support and mature the theme of overwhelming guilt.…

The story is told by Scout Finch, a young tomboy, who lives with her lawyer father, Atticus, and her brother, Jem.

    Pride and Prejudice “Romantic Fiction Often Portrays Characters in Terms of Their Capacity for Change.”

    Pride and Prejudice presents themes of marriage, love and status in society. In the 19th century, people had a tendency to marry because of financial benefits. Austen uses sarcastic wit both as a narrator, Elizabeth, her protagonist’s voice and the centre of consciousness to attack the ideas of marriage and love that her society held in her time. She saw that for marriages and relationships to be happy, society must overcome pride and prejudice and marry for true love.…

    Sense and Sensibility

    Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, first published in 1811, explores the social and cultural expectations of this period through the moderation of the important characteristics of sense and sensibility. The novel is a sharply detailed portraiture that represents the large difference between power and disempowerment relating to that time of between the English eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries through the many areas surrounding such themes as courtship, the importance of marriage, the role and power of women, love, money and social classes.…
