Rhetorical Devices Used In One Art

Fences Bono Act 2, scene 1 In this monologue from Fences, Bono, Troy’s best friend which he met in prison, uses rhetorical techniques such as pathos and ethos to illustrate both his concerns and jealousy of Troy taking for granted, his wife’s love for him. Bono narrates about the “good ol’e times” with him and about how he was a sensible player with a gracious heart. The use of continuous repetition to emphasize the phrase“I done know you”, meant that he learned things essential to his life.

In picture 12 I think that the tone that they are trying to show us is frustrated. I think this because the lady is trying to brake hold of the police and the police look frustrated with the lady for trying to escape. Also the men and the woman 's face have that frustrated look to it when the police are clenching onto her arms so that they could carry her off and that she could not leave their grip. In picture 11

In Shakespeare’s Henry VIII, Cardinal Wolsey undergoes a series of tone changes while considering his sudden downfall from power. On a deeper level, however, the tone changes represent stages of loss; therefore, the soliloquy is an accurate account of how the Cardinal is psychologically affected by his downfall. Through several poetic devices such as allusion, figurative language and tone, Shakespeare explores Cardinal Wolsey’s immediate psychological effects due to a sudden fall from grace. The first tone established by the excerpt emphasizes that the Cardinal’s first response to his dismissal is anger, making readers doubt his intentions as a Cardinal.

During the Ceremony of Twelve, Jonas was skipped. He was taken by surprise because he thought that he did something wrong. Everyone in the crowd realized it too. Jonas felt embarrassed by that and at that moment wanted to disappear. The song “Shocked” by Kylie Minogue talks about being surprised by unexpected events.

I do not agree with her idea, which shows her modesty. The truth is that imagination is based on what the writer has experienced, but the writing depends on how imaginative she is. She describes her work is just an embroidery, but some people who have the similar experience with her do not write stories as she does. In other words, it depends on their imagination that everyone has. Therefore, it is absurd to say that she did not have any

The hardships that people face, coming from racial and gender injustice, can sometimes affect not just those directly concerned, but their families as well. These injustices, such as the treatment to Troy in Fences during his younger years, change the ways he acts to his sons and the rest of the characters and is the source of much of the conflict they face. Many of the conflicts in the play arise because the characters disagree with the way they see the past and what they want to do in their respective futures. For example, Troy and Cory see Cory's future differently because of the ways they have been treated in their pasts.

“If you don 't want to sink, you better figure out how to swim” (41). Although Rex Walls was not always an admirable father and role model, he did make an essential point while teaching his daughter, Jeannette, how to swim. In life, not everything comes without resistance. As Jeannette Walls describes throughout her life story, sometimes people are forced to face hardships that make them question their whole life. However, as seen in her book, it is important to learn to take those hardships and use them to shape one’s future for the better.

Euripides forwards Medea’s revenge through her use of Rhetoric in her dialogue. Rhetoric is language used intended to persuade or influence another person’s decisions or ideology. Medea’s use of Rhetoric conveys her cunning and deceitful nature in the play: she appeals to the ethical standpoint of the all-female Chorus, she appeals to the emotion of Creon to persuade him and Aegeus for her own advantage. Jason’s use of Rhetoric against Medea is exposed by her argument on the ethics of marriage that he has tarnished. Medea uses Ethos, the persuasion through ethical arguments, to appeal to the female Chorus who live in a patriarchal land.

“Bishop’s carefully judged use of language aids the reader to uncover the intensity of feeling in her poetry.” While studying Elizabeth Bishop 's poetry, it was remarkably clear that Bishop 's carefully judged use of language aids the reader to uncover the intensity of feeling in her poetry. In the six poems in which I studied by this poet, we can see how Bishop used the languages to her advantage in a way that helped the reader to uncover the intensity of feeling in her work. We can see the emotions in her poetry through a mix of language types and techniques within "The Fish", "The Prodigal", “In the Filling Station", "In the Waiting Room", "Sestina" and "First Death in Nova Scotia". Throughout my answer, I will discuss her language types and techniques within her poetry.

“The face that had never looked save with love upon her, fixed and gray and dead. But she saw beyond that bitter moment a long procession of years to come that would belong to her absolutely. And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome.” This moment in “The Story of an Hour,” is relatable to Kate Chopin's own life. Though Kate loved her husband dearly, she was restricted from a lot of the things she wanted to pursue.

Louise’s victory in accepting her husband’s death is a feeling that she now cannot live without. The ultimate death of Louise Mallard is one that represents physical and emotional defeat. In this dramatic short story, Chopin uses imagery to sew together a tapestry of emotions all encompassed in an ill-stricken widow. Works Cited Chopin, Kate. “The Story of an Hour.”

Throughout the poem, Bishop explains that the more objects she loses, the more accepting she becomes of her loss. She is saying that if they lose people or objects enough, then people will become immune to it. This theme is expressed through the loss of her keys, her mother’s watch, and then the loss of her loved one.
