Jabberwocky
Jabberwocky” is famously known for its creativity and word play which are called nonsense words. But it also shows a handful of imagery through its words in the poem. Sight, touch, smell, taste and hearing are the basics of what makes an image. For example , “The Jabberwocky, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling tulgey wood, and burbled as it came !” (13-16). Based on the writing Lewis Carroll gave us. It represents a vivid sense for the readers. The flame in the jabberwocky eyes expresses anger, and the following gives us an image on the fast and elusive creature coming at you through the woods. “O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” (23-24). Do not know the exact word it defines, but it shows a type war cry of joy. The creativity, words promotes

    Scarlet Ibis

    With figurative language, James Hurst can successfully set the mood of the story. “. . . the flowers’ smell speaking softly the names of our dead. . . ,“ is a prime example, as it sets the gloomy mood for that scene in the passage. It fills the scene with thoughts of the boy’s deceased relatives and his sadness as he will never see them again. Similarly, he uses figurative language to set a mood of fear in the story’s darkest hour. “. . . like a bursting Roman candle, a gum tree ahead of [them] was shattered by a bolt of lightning.” With danger all around the brothers, an exploding gum tree directly in front of them fills their hearts with terror. This successfully sets the state of thought for the characters and reader in this event. Although figurative language is used to provide imagery for the story, it is also used to foretell Doodle’s death.…

    Crossing the Swamp

    At the beginning of the poem, there is a use of cacophonic sounds of “branching vines.” “Burred faintly belching bogs” are used to describe the ugly sounds of the swamp as the character takes a step forward; which only add more to the misery and struggle of the speaker. The repetition of the word “Here”” is also very unique because it is emphasizing the location of where the character is being tortured by having to walk into this swamp of misery and struggle. There is another sound the speaker describes “that sink silently on to the black slack earthsoup” (lines 20-22). This diction considered as imagery, because it is making a comparison between the swamp and earthsoup.…

    By definition a hero is someone who shows great courage. Although this is true I believe a hero is much more than that. Heroes must poses and display bravery, selflessness, ability to act through fear and courage. Heroes do extraordinary things without hesitation, they know what needs to be done and they act on it. The thing that is most present in my memory today from 9/11 was the fear. Everyone was afraid, but no one around me knew how to act on this fear. Everyone knew something needed to be done but only the hero’s of 9/11 leaped into action. That brings me to two heroic men from 9/11.…

    Piggy, Lord of the Flies

    In William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies, a bunch of boys get stranded on an island. They came in contact with many unique elements that symbolize ideas or concepts. Through the use of symbols such as the beast, the pig’s head, and even Piggy’s specs, William Golding demonstrates that humans, when they’re liberated from society’s rules, allow their natural capacity for evil to dominate their existence. It’s very beautiful to see how creative authors, like Golding, can just make an object mean something very important – opposite of its usual meaning, like the conch was a symbol for order.…

    Rossetti's Feminism

    The poem begins with the goblins calling the sisters' attention to their delicious, exotic fruits, which represent the proverbial forbidden fruit--one taste leads to destruction. But the goblins depict their fruits as enticing. Rossetti uses rich imagery such as "Currants and gooseberries,/ Bright-fire-like barberries,/ Figs to fill your mouth,/ Citrons from the South,/ Sweet to tongue and sound to eye" (1) to stimulate the reader's senses, just as the goblins' calls provoke Laura and Lizzie. The goblins attempt to lure the sisters by cooing and purring, sounding sweet and inviting, and they constantly urge, "Come buy, come buy" throughout the poem. They are not, however, as innocent as their countenances try to appear to the sisters. Rossetti uses animalistic images to dehumanize the goblins--"One…
