I like your connection between the movie Wall-E and transcendentalism. Now thinking about it, Disney has created a lot of movies that get to do with Transcendentalism. For example, another movie from Disney that supports the view of transcendentalism is Avatar. In this movie, nature energy flows through all living thing which link with the transcendentalist belief that nature is a source of instruction, nourishment, and enchantment for the soul. Emerson’s quote “The happiest man is the one who learns from nature the lesson of worship. In Avatar, the Omaticaya can communicate with their god through the Tree of voices.…
In "Nancy's Bedroom" from Cold Blood by Truman Capote, Capote tries to reveal the femininity and innocence of Nancy Clutter. He uses this as an example to reveal the greater truth that conclusions can be drawn about one's character from a small piece of information about one's personal space and activities.…
In the sixty-fourth paragraph in Tim O'Brien's "On the Rainy River" chapter, the author uses some rhetorical devices such as repetition, fragments, and an allusion to help make his argument more effective. He uses repetition of words like "a crushing sorrow, sorrow like I had never known it before." to show how distressed he was over the fact that his dream to run away to Canada will never come true. Another repetition of words was when he was describing his childhood he kept saying how "I saw a seven-year-old boy... a pair of holstered six-shooters; I saw a twelve-year-old Little League; I saw a sixteen-year-old kid...” (O’Brien). The fact that he is picturing some of his memoires shows that he is wondering if moving to Canada is worth leaving…
In the graphic novel Mad Max: Fury Road, there are various examples of rhetorical appeals. One example of ethos is when the audience finally learns of Nux’s backstory. We learn that he was a toddler who searched for the fortress after his mother and father died. Unlike other freeloaders who tried to get onto the fortress, the child was a “hard nut to crack” (Miller 12). The emotional appeal to a young orphan impacts the audience greatly. The timing of the graphic novels release is an example of kiaros. By releasing these graphic novels after the release of the summer blockbuster of the same name, the author/director is keeping the audience engaged. People who become fans of the film would talk about the film and the graphic novels for a longer…
Holden notices two nuns with cheap looking suitcases. He immediately judges them based on the appearance of their suitcases.Holden says that he doesn’t like cheap suitcases because they do not look as nice. He is not just talking about suitcases, he means people who are in different economic positions than his. This shows how Holden, who grew up going to private schools where almost all the boys were from rich families, wasn’t used to being around someone who was from a lower class or someone who wasn’t as rich as he was. Holden talks about his old roommate, Dick Slagle who had an inexpensive suitcase wanted to be perceived as rich and looked upon as a higher classman from his peers. This is an example of the 1950’s superiority complex, Dick…
Thirdly the theme stood in very essential place in the movie. The theme told and warned people the potential danger of technology. It showed the possibility of technology how it could harm people physically and mentally. Another part of the theme presented that humans make same mistakes over and over. In previous movies, they made the Jurassic Park and the problem always occurred, but they never learned from their past mistakes. It acknowledges people once more to do the right thing and look back at their faults. Theme passed very important messages to…
When people hear the word “border” they just think of the typical United States - Mexico border. They do not think about what a border actually is and what it means to some people or some countries. Borders are all around the world. Some are borders to divide people for specific reasons such as: religion, culture, or beliefs and others are there just to separate two different countries. Not only is there borders but there are walls as well. The walls sometimes take a borders place. Walls are also used as a form of separation for some countries just as borders. Borders and walls are more than just cement blocks, wire fences, or tall steel beams that are a universal symbol for a division. They mean so much to some people and represent a lot…
In 1805, there was religious dispute between Whites and Native Americans. Red Jacket speaks among Christian missionaries, who were manipulating natives to convert to Christianity. Red Jacket uses a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos in the forms of connotation, repetition ,and comparisons to convince the Whites that they want the liberty to choose in who to believe in and how.…
While Wall-E is a wonderful children's movie and contains great lessons for kids, it also has a myriad of lessons for adults. One of these is the prevailing theme of love and its inconvenience. One thing that strikes the viewer throughout this movie is that the robots seem more human-like than the humans, and the love story between Wall-E and EVE is a perfect example of this paradox.…
Robert Neville followed a man, who was turning, into an ocean of unlike humans. In an excerpt from, I Am Legend Richard Matheson uses a wide array of rhetorical devices in order to convey the strong action he uses.…
Furthermore, Gloucester redeems himself for all the mistakes he has made in the past. He prepares to commit suicide, “This world I do renounce, and in your sights shake patiently my great affliction off” (4.6.37-38). Gloucester tells us he did not feel the need to kill himself, however this hateful life of his would still wear out. Furthermore, the redemption between Lear and Cordelia states, “When thou dost ask me blessing, I'll kneel down and ask of thee forgiveness” (5.3.11-12) rather than “I am a man more sinned against than sinning” (3.2.59-60). It shows that Lear believes he can be happy in prison without his love Cordelia. He suggest all the prisoners to sing, and to support each other in this hard time. Looking at each other past…
The theme of the story was doing the right thing is more important than winning; I thought the movie did a better job of showing this. I say this because, the movie showed the tension when Cordell’s…
On of the only reason why the world has not turned completely evil is because of the little good in humanity. In the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a group of boys are stranded on an island where they end up forming their own little society. Throughout the novel, two boys, Jack and Ralph, fight for power within the island. Several incidents happen later on, that causes them to bring out their inner nature.Golding manages to use rhetorical devices to convey the idea that there is so little good in humanity the evil overpowers and it turns humans into foul beings.…
As mentioned, the stream of consciousness continues throughout this story. Sometimes the protagonist inserts her deep, sharp thoughts in the middle of a paragraph that has little to do with the original conversation. And sometimes she inserts a word that is off-putting, a word that does not match the rest. Although some may argue that this takes readers away from the fictional dream, the case, it seems, is that it corresponds just as well with her random outbursts of thought. The word is often placed in the center of her normal, regular speech. This makes the word choice seem authentic. It does not beg readers to focus on it, but accept the brief change in diction. On page 27, the text reads, “Cleaning women do steal. Not the things the people…
