Emily’s climactic speech is an example of A- thematic development and B-figurative language.
Emily Webb , one of the characters of "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder, is dead and has come to the world of the living for a moment. The lines refer to some of her memories because she wishes to remember a typical day at Grover's Corner.
<u>Thematic developmen</u>t is present because she describes the same place ,cosy home, and the same routine , sleeping and waking up, following a sequence. Her description looks like a camera taking different close ups of the same place where the same routine is done. From <em>clocks</em> , she passes onto <em>food </em>and <em>coffee</em>; then she moves to <em>pressed clothes</em> and <em>hot baths</em> and finally to <em>sleeping</em> and <em>waking up.</em>
<u>Figurative language</u> is also present ; the character uses imagery appealing to the sense of hearing : <em>clocks ticking; </em>she also appeals to the sense of sight: <em>Mama's sunflowers </em> and <em>new-ironed dresses</em>. The sense of feeling temperature is reflected: <em>hot bath. </em>Then, the character uses allusion when she says: "Oh, earth, you're too wonderful for anybody to realize you". She alludes to the living because they cannot appreciate the beauty of being alive.
Which word? There’s no question on here?
I completely believe that humans are easily swayed. We are socialized from birth to learn about life and its experiences from other people. A nurturing family, in my opinion, creates a dependency on others for decisions rather than figuring it out for yourself. Positive reinforcement is also provided when you make decisions that others want you to make. Influence in and of itself is not a bad thing; it is how we interpret that influence that matters.
Answer and Explanation:
Another example of foreshadowing in Act I of "Romeo and Juliet" takes place in Scene 4, when Romeo says,
“I fear too early, for my mind misgives
Some consequence yet hanging in the stars
Shall bitterly begin his fearful date
With this night’s revels, and expire the term
Of a despisèd life closed in my breast
By some vile forfeit of untimely death.”
<u>What he means, simply put, is that he has a bad feeling about Capulet's party. He senses this banquet will be the start of something tragic - his own death. This premonition of the characters serves as foreshadowing for the audience. They can already infer, from this example as well as other passages, that these lovers' story will end tragically.</u>
<u>Foreshadowing is a technique used in storytelling in which a piece of information is given to the audience. Such information seems trivial at first, but later it unfolds into something more important.</u>
Dear editor.
I believe that you, like me, are aware of the environmental impact that the waste produced in our homes causes, especially the waste from industrialized products such as plastic, metals, glass, among others. This environmental impact is what causes the importance of waste segregation, because it allows these materials not to be thrown away, but to be separated to participate in recycling processes, becoming new products and reducing the environmental impact.
However, despite this importance, I have noticed that many neighborhoods, including mine, have not accepted this position and have thrown all kinds of garbage in a single deposit. This prevents recycling, since the mixed products are simply thrown into nature, without any care.
I believe that these neighborhoods know the importance of waste segregation, but as they have no type of inspection or punishment, they do not obey this rule.
For this reason, I write to you, with the hope that you will disseminate this message and reinforce the need for inspection so that the segregation of garbage is carried out.
