While some people may think that an author does not use any sort of elements of poetry to write‚ they actually do use it more than we all know. They tend to exaggerate a lot when writing‚ making things seem “bigger” and more important. They also use metaphors to compare things to other things totally unlike them. They also use rhyming to its full capability to get their points acrossed. They use rhyme schemes in couplets to get their points across. When an author is writing about something or

Literature Review on Metaphors From the Perspective of Cognitive Linguistics The definition of metaphor Traditionally‚ metaphor is a figure of speech in which one thing is compared to another by saying that one is the other‚ as in “He is a tiger”. It is a property of words‚ and is used for some artistic and rhetorical purpose. However‚ this view has been challenged recently by cognitive linguists (Liu & Wen‚ 2012: 249). Cognitive linguists and philosophers have shown that metaphors are not just a

conspirators depended on Marcus Brutus for one reason: to justify the murder of Julius Caesar. However after allowing Mark Antony to not only bring in the corpse of their beloved Caesar yet also speak after Brutus during the funeral‚ it would seem that Brutus’ role in the murder was pointless. Both Brutus and Antony delivered powerful speeches using irony and rhetorical devices but one speech failed to deliver an essential connection with the crowd. Although Brutus persuades the plebeians‚ Mark Antony

Brutus the Tragic Hero “Et tu‚ Bruté?” (III.i.85). This quotation by Caesar sums Brutus up as a character in the William Shakespeare play‚ The Tragedy Of Julius Caesar.

Metaphor—a literary technique used to clarify the “darkness inside a cloud” (Selection 2). The power of metaphor is utilized throughout the world of language on a daily basis to clarify‚ explain‚ and act as a moral instrument.

Metaphor evidently has great

In the play‚ Julius Caesar‚ Mark Antony and Brutus go head to head‚ at Caesar’s funeral. They both give important and interesting speeches‚ revealing much about their character and personalities.

His speech was formal and more directed towards the Romans. He spoke to the audience with superiority

The sheer lyrical power of metaphor can be found throughout Ghalib’s poetry. Ghalib utilizes this figure of speech‚ I believe‚ to help us connect to and really experience what he is trying to tell us about life‚ love‚ and hardship. It seems that‚ through metaphor‚ he implores us to delve deeper into his writings and enter into the suffering‚ heartache‚ alienation‚ and ambition that marked his entire life. Using ghazal’s from the Joy of the Drop website‚ I will examine and discuss the verses that

controversies when it comes to deciding if Brutus is a patriot or a betrayer. Some would say he is a traitor for joining the plan to kill Caesar‚ his best friend‚ without considering other options. However‚ I see Brutus as a patriot‚ the reason is because Brutus did not say yes to Cassius the first-time Cassius offered the chance to Brutus. It is not until Cassius plants the fake notes of Rome in Brutus room that Brutus decides to join the conspiracy. With that‚ Brutus only joined the conspiracy because
