    • 2 Pages

    In Shakespeare’s Hamlet‚ dramatic irony is used to garner sympathy and antipathy from the audience‚ which further develops the characters‚ conflict‚ and theme of the story.

    The evolution of sound in cinema Jay Beck General histories of the relationship between sound and image in cinema tend to perpetuate an ocular-centricity (emphasizing vision over the other senses) that dates back to the very earliest experiments in “moving pictures”—a term which itself serves to confuse historians. The vast majority of cinema histories tend to relegate the subject of sound in cinema to a subordinate position by studying the transition to the sound period in the late 1920s and

    British Sound Analysis: A voiceover in the film British Sounds states‚ "Sometimes the class struggle is also the struggle of one image against another image‚ of one sound against another sound. In a film‚ this struggle is between images and sounds." We as spectators are able to make connection with that statement as we watch the segments in the film unfold.

    What tools can writers use to protest war? Writers use three techniques to achieve the protest of war. They use Imagery‚ Irony‚ and Structure. A way writers use to protest war is by using Imagery. Crane used very strong glorifying imagery. He put negative images next to the glorified images and that was his way of protesting war. “Hoarse‚ booming drums of the regiment” is an example of glorified images. “A field where a thousand corpses lie” is a negative image placed with a glorified image.

Usually a father or father figure would respect the child they are raising but in this case Pecola’s father raped her leading to her pregnancy. We would assume that this type of situation would not occur since we know that it is a disturbing and morbid act‚ but alas Cholly‚ Pecola’s dad‚ gets her pregnant. Moreover‚ another irony presented towards other minor characters is that

    Title: The Sound of Silence Which version of “the Sound of Silence” did you like the best-the poem‚ the old Simon and Garfunkel version‚ or the newer version by Disturbed? Why? I like the newer musical version redone by the group called Disturbed. Because the lyrics have a modern twist‚ and the words are very clear somewhat haunting.
