When we read the poem "A Dream Within a Dream," we can say that the word that describes the tone of the poem is "melancholy". The speaker is very melancholy, saying that he is going to leave this world and that everything that our eyes touch is unreal, impalpable, untiring like a dream within a dream, from which we never escape. The speaker of the poem is tired and hopeless with this type of reality and therefore offers melancholy and sad thoughts in the poem.

To change the tone of the poem, it would be necessary using changing the diction to use words with a more positive and lively meaning, which would show the dream within a dream as something happy and palpable. However, this would totally change the meaning of the poem and we would no longer be able to capture the message that the poet intended to convey.

All animals are equal, but some are more equal then others what's the meaning of this oxymoron ​
ella [17]

The meaning of this oxymoron refers to the hypocrisy of the government and its corporate governance by claiming that all citizens are created equal but continuously provide special privileges and power towards the elites, implying that true equality is a false ideology that doesn’t genuinely exist regardless of the fabricated lie that those in power claim is there.

Boy in the striped why does bruno think that shmuels face is strange
Artyom0805 [142]
The way his face is described in the book is "His skin was almost the colour of grey, but not quite like and grey Bruno had seen before. He had very large eyes that were the colour of caramel sweets; the whites were very white, and when the boy looked at him all Bruno could see was an enormous pair of sad eyes staring back"

Bruno found his face strange because of how underfed and malnourished he looks - he's described as grey with big eyes which could mean his face is hollow. Bruno grew up in a wealthy family in Berlin so he's never seen people this poor and underfed. His eyes were the colour of 'caramel sweets' which you could link to his hunger.

You could also say that Bruno thought his face was strange because his expression was extremely sad. When Bruno was describing them to his sister he said they 'don't look friendly', so he thought it was strange when one of them wasn't intimidating or mean, but actually desperate and sad

You could also say that Bruno thought his face was strange because he'd never thought about the people individually. When he was looking out of his window he didn't see individuals, just identical people. all of them wearing striped pajamas, all miserable, and all together, so when he saw Shmuel it was a shock because they are real people. You could relate this to the context of the Holocaust because the Nazis convinced people to accept concentration camps because he made people believe entire groups of people were all the same, all evil, all holding back Germany, alienating people from seeing they are actual people.
