    The title of the painting is “The Black Sea”. It tells me‚ that on the picture I’ll see the Black sea‚ but actually it’s not only the Black‚ but black by its color: there is a storm. That’s why we may say that the artist used such a title not only to paint the Black sea‚ or it can not be the Black sea at all‚ but to show us the darkness of the heavy sea. The painting makes an emotional influence on me. The overall mood of the painting is mysteriousness‚ it seems like something will appear from the

    In this short story‚ Edger Allan Poe does a great job of describing the setting‚ even though it’s not that descriptive but he uses a language to makes the readers think that it’s happening this way. To support my statement‚ the author uses diction to make the readers scared: “black as pitch with thick darkness”. This makes the mood of the story creepy and scary. Also‚ Poe creates a mood of tension and anxiety “TRUE! —NERVOUS—VERY‚ very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you

And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft.” (Hosseini‚ 17) This ideal leaves no room for the gray area‚ it oversimplifies every situation. I believe that most people live in the gray area‚ or at least I certainly do. Rarely do I deal with problems that are as clear cut as right or wrong. My personal

    Poet’s Use of Mockery As Diction in Poem Tom Dinkel The poet’s use of mockery as diction conveys his disillusioned attitude toward the men that plan the battles without actually fighting in them. Using the words "If I were fierce‚ and bald‚ and short of breath‚" to describe the majors allows the reader to picture the majors as old‚ fat‚ out of shape men that spend their days "guzzling and gulping in the best hotel" safe from any danger. Fierce‚ bald and short of breath give the reader a negative
