The lower part of the ‘hourglass’ is the very clear and would basically have nothing else there. In the other hand, the upper part has a man, trying to cross between the rocks and with a rock barely hanging between the cliffs bellow him. This suggests that the man was struggling to not fall down, and fall onto the rock and then probably his death. This disturbance in the pattern can also be suggested that the man will fall down because the ‘sand’ is pulling him down and that he was trying to resist the sand so that he wouldn’t fall. This imaginary sand could be interpreted as the monsters he is facing or it has a very literal meaning, the sand in an hourglass.…
Joy Kogawa’s poem, Where There’s A Wall, evokes motivation and inspiration. The most central figure in this poem is the wall. The wall symbolizes any obstacle that prevents one from achieving his/her goals. Regardless, the poem stimulates hope as it communicates how there are means to overcoming the wall, “there's a way / around, over, or through.” Kogawa effectively shares her message by utilizing literal and figurative imagery.…

Imagery includes specific details and figurative language that represent persons, objects, actions, feelings and ideas descriptively like in Lines 55-56, “Plenty reason to get my brother by the throat, taking turns punching him in the face,” It describes an imagery of how they were hurting them like for example It shows how the 5 “white” boys beat luis and his brother and describes briefly of what happened in the scenario when everything was occurring. Another example of imagery is in lines 59-61, “Punching until swollen and dark blue he slid from their grasp like a rotten banana from its peeling” It describes how they finally let his brother go and he felt like a rotten banana from its peeling it's like a metaphor for feeling like he was underperformed…
In my visual rhetorical assignment, I feel I did a great job on describing how pathos had a huge influence on the tactic Extra gum used for their commercial I chose. For example, in my paper, I mentioned plenty of times on how Extra gum used romance to reel in their audience with emotion. How it could relate to many different types of people in recent relationships, old relationships, or even single people. I did not feel like I needed to change this topic just because it was really important to know how Extra gum used it. I feel like describing pathos is something that I find easy to talk about.…
The story “The Yellow Wallpaper” and “The Open Boat” has many different qualities they both share. They both display a prominent use of the same key figures of speech, but one that stands out the most for both is imagery. Imagery is any sensory detail in a work. Meaning anything that seems very detailed and that can be imaged in people’s minds is imagery. Throughout the whole story they show a pattern of imagery very deeply.…
Throughout the course of Still Life there appears four titles: “Tobacco,” “Liquor,” “Tea,” “Toffee.” The title of this everyday item marks the point at which Shen Hong departs the image and returns back to Sanming. It is also worth mentioning that in the final arc of the film the two people Sanming has the closest relationships with, Brother Mark and his wife, both offer him toffees. This soft milk candy symbolically links an exchange with other people, above all a shared link with the past. It can be demoralizing to find what it is you’ve been looking for only to realize that it bears little resemblance to your memory of it.…

We seem to have become so used to this idea that we do not think of time as something that is socially constructed. Social constructions of time is a way we try to giver order to our world.…

In My Brilliant Friend, Ferrante reveals that the change from childhood to adolescence is scary and upsetting because the breakdown of innocence occurs. In the first chapter of Adolescence, Lila’s experience of “dissolving margins” (2) is symbolic of what occurs in every child during puberty. Furthermore, Ferrante symbolizes change with the motif of fire, which is seen in the fireworks display. During the display, Lila feels disgust towards the changes she sees in her brother and repulsion towards the human body, which “seem[s] to her attributes of monstrous beings” (39). Lila’s disgust of the body is representative of the disgust most children may feel about their own bodies, and the unveiling of the changes in Rino is symbolic of a loss of…
Everyone goes through a dreary point in their lives. In these times, it is critical to remain hopeful and search for the light at the end of the tunnel. To remain focused on the silver lining in the dark rain cloud. “Marigolds” by Eugenia Collier conveys imagery by contrasting hope in dark times through yellow, hopeful, marigolds against a decaying, rotting, town. Mrs. Lotties beautiful, flourishing, yellow marigolds contrast against the rotting house they stand before.…

Wallpaper With a Thousand Words “The Yellow Wallpaper” is an important story, but digging has to be done to see so. The author Charlotte Perkins displays a feminist interpretation in an impressive way. Her use of metaphors brings out the true meaning behind this story. The wallpaper represents the way women are treated in our society, and the author tells a story of a “madwoman” to represent this overall theme. The house is the whole backbone to the story and is a one of the metaphors used.…
