Part One: Tomi Lahren uses “SOB” when referring to Mohammad Abdulazeez‚ which is a euphemism. This type of language creates misunderstanding for the audience. I had never heard “SOB” before and had to google it‚ she used it to cover up her saying a bad word. Instead of using that she should’ve just not called Mohammad Abdulazeez anything. A jargon that she used was “B-1 bomber‚” this is a word not everyone can understand since it’s specifically referring to a type of aircraft that is used in America

A man turns into a cockroach‚ is rejected by those nearest to him‚ and suddenly dies with an apple on his back. The plot of “The Metamorphosis” is just that. Or is it? The story is filled with emotion and modernist concepts. The three A’s of modernism‚ anxiety‚ ambiguity‚ and alienation‚ show up prominently in Kafka’s writing. Anxiety oozes out of “The Metamorphosis.” The story reads like a bad dream. First of all‚ the situation itself is anxiety inducing. For many‚ nothing would be more horrifying

McCarthy uses language in the road to stir readers emotions. The Road is a story of a father and son fighting to survive in a post apocalyptic world where the basics of humanity have disappeared. The writing is fragmented‚ sparse and‚ from the beginning‚ reflects the barren and bleak landscape through which the father and Son are traveling. McCarthy abandons quotation marks in dialogue‚ he dispenses minimal punctuation. His toying with the rules of grammar and punctuation in effect emphasises the

They believe that people use metaphors not just through intellectual and conscious outlets‚ but that metaphors dictate how we perceive everything. Because metaphors structure our conception of the world around us‚ they hold an intrinsic power; the power to shape our perceptions and even our behavior. That is to say‚ because

Members of ISIS live according to a skewed form of the Islamic belief which shows how a small group of people can use religion to influence and control the way people live their lives. Station Eleven shows this through the cult formed by Tyler as his Prophet persona. Although Tyler’s cult is on a much smaller scale than that of ISIS‚ it shows similar implementations of how religion can be used to manipulate people. Tyler mentions that he and his cult “were saved because [they]
