...insanity. The worse fact it that this is all happening to a group of kids between the ages 6 and 12. In my opinion, this is an inappropriate book for high school students to read. This book is intended for mature audiences. For teenagers, at still a young age, to be reading this book isn’t good. The ages of the children in the book are almost close to the ages of the teens reading the book. The time period which the story is set in is different than the time period now, so we have a different view of the story than society 60 years ago. First, let’s talk about the language. “You’re a beast and a swine and a bloody, bloody thief!” (Golding 163). This is an example of the profanity used in the story. Ralph yells that at Jack before they’re about to fight before Piggy stops them. The boys in the story are British. In Great Britain, the use of the word “bloody” is considered profanity. Even though we don’t use “bloody” in that context, we can still understand how it’s implied. You wouldn’t want a little boy screaming “bloody” at everything. Just think of him screaming “F- this” and “F- that” at everything. It’s just the same context as “bloody” but in just American English. Teenagers are prone to use profanity a lot. It’s inappropriate, yet we still use it anyway. Like I stated in the previous paragraph, the age difference between the kids in the book and the teens who read it aren’t that far off. The author set up the story with the boys having no parental authority so, the boys are...

...days.’ What do you think is the significance of mirrors in the Bloody Chamber? Mirrors are used in The Bloody Chamber, The Courtship of Mr Lyon and The Tiger’s Bride as a very effective plot device. The way that they are used differs between the three stories but all have a slight magical quality in keeping with the fairy tale theme. Within all three short stories there is an existing theme of metamorphosis. The first mention of mirrors within The Bloody Chamber is within the intimate scene between the Marquis and the heroine of the story. The bed chamber is surrounded by mirrors, amplifying all of the intense emotions of the scene. This is because the mirrors repeat the scene 12 times over ‘a dozen husbands impaled a dozen wives’ the violent and emotive language used makes the reader feel uncomfortable and highlights the connection between sexuality and violence throughout the book. In the use of the mirrors throughout this scene Carter succeeds in heightening the horrific nature of the scene through the addition of more reflected couples to the scene. The mirrors also create a pornographic element to the scene, making it appear as though the Marquis and the girl are being observed by onlookers. In using mirrors throughout this scene some of the Marquis perverse sexual desires are revealed to the readers, helping to foreshadow what is to come later on in the story. As the protagonist has discovered the books that the Marquis keeps in his library the readers are aware of...

...Conrad, and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon. I decided to write on The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time because I think the book has an interesting and unique plot. I have chosen to write three diary entries. This text type is appropriate because diaries are personal and reveal feelings that contribute to the furthering of the plot. The purpose of my characters diary entries is to reveal their inner emotions and feelings. The intended audience for the diary entries are the characters themselves, as only they will read their diary. I will write three diary entries in the characters of Christopher, Father and Mother. I have deliberately used swear words in Father’s diary entry as he swears a lot throughout the book, and it reflects his personality. As Mother misspells many words in her letters to Christopher, I use clumsy spelling in her diary entry, to present her the way the reader knows her from the book. Father’s Diary Hello Dairy, I can’t believe Christopher is still poking around in other people’s business after I told him several bloody times to mind his own f*&%ing business. I have to think of something fast. He’s a clever boy. He could find out, he could find out about everything. I can’t let that happen. Maybe if I hadn’t killed that bloody dog in the first place, none of this would have happened. I yelled at him today when I got home about how he should mind his own business. I know he understands, but...

...Frustration and misunderstandings often occur because of a lack of clear communication. In the book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon, an autistic boy Christopher, attempts to solve the mystery of a dead dog. Throughout his investigation, Christopher, discovers many secrets and lies about his past. He struggles as he tries to understand and deal with these lies and the people who created them. Using Christopher's unique perspective Haddon shows the world to be a place where clear communication is vital to being understood in a society. Haddon first begins to develop this theme in the beginning of the book. After assaulting a police officer christopher is taking to the police station and put in a cell. Christopher is describing how he finds people confusing, when he begins talking about metaphors “The word metaphor is a metaphor. I think it should be called a lie because a pig is not like a day and people do not have skeletons in their cupboard. And when I try and make a picture of the phrase in my head it just confuses me because I am picturing an apple in someones eye and it doesn’t have anything to do with liking someone a lot and it makes you forget what the person was talking about” (Haddon 15)....

...In the bloody chamber to what extent is violence attractive? (42 marks) . One could argue that to a certain extent the violent and vulgar Marquis is something that the female narrator to whom is unnamed is portrayed by Carter as being pathetically in love with, and the violent sexual nature that he exudes is something too enticing to let go. Moreover, some critics have said that the relationship between the Marquis and the narrator is much more exciting due to the violence, whereas others have argued the romance between the blind piano tuner and herself is much more endearing and essentially what she is attracted to. Giving its name to the book as well as the first story, "The bloody chamber" is something in which Carter uses as a symbolic purpose to emphasise it being a room where in which violence and pleasure occurs simultaneously. It could be argued that erotic sexual acts and violent desires are inextricably linked and where Carter presents the Marquis as a corrupt individual who turns his wives from pornographic displays into elaborately displayed corpses. One could argue that the act of violence throughout the 'bloody chamber' is solely through sexual intercourse. Something which supposed to be personal and lustful is what Carter portrays as animalistic and almost savage. The loss of virginity is greatly emphasised within the bloody chamber from the narrator herself; the initial language on the train journey "ceaselessly thrusting" " burning cheek" and ecstasy of...

...Part II I copped him out when he got home, our mike that is. The dirty bugger. Just like his dad and at his age too! Bloody cheek, fancy touching up a complete stranger – in the cinema of all places! It’s dirty. I never thought he’d turn out to be a bastard like him, I mean for fuck sake I wanted something better for him – wanted him to stay pure like. Stupid bloody Doris. I try and get some and look what happens to me, it turns out to be our bleeding son. This wouldn’t happen if I was a bloke. If a bloke has had enough of his wife he just strolls into the nearest bar, tip a couple down his neck and take their pick from the easy gash. But O, how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes. Nothing goes the way I want it to, behave like I bloke I said, dirty like. I can live without it you know, the sex that is. The kissing, and the touching, especially the touching, I would give almost anything never to be touched by his dirty grubby hands again. He doesn’t talk to me for three days at a time and all of a sudden his horribly belchy breath is in my face and his great big body is on mine. I wouldn’t so much mind if he asked me first. If one day he went, “so how ‘bout a fuck then?”, at least I could put me book down first. I almost always lose me page once a week on a Saturday night. I do miss it though, the kissing that is not the book. I almost did it once, to see if I still could. We were in bed and he was passed out next to me. He was so still and...

...competitions, so I began to wash my dishes. As I did I took a glance out the window in front of the sink and had to do a double take, because there, slightly behind a tree, only a few yards behind my house was a tall man in a long dark coat and a pitch black hat. I blinked several times and rubbed my eyes. When I looked back, he was gone. Phew, it was just my eyes playing tricks on me. I let out a relived sigh as I finished my dishes and headed up to my room to read my book. Next, at bedtime, just as I was about to pull the sheets over me, I saw him again, but he looked different. He stood in rags and this time I could see his face. His pale face was like that of a vampire and his dead gray eyes burned into mine. Then I realized he was carrying something big. My eyes grew wide and I rubbed them frantically, but when I opened them again he was still there and had moved even closer to the house. As he moved forward he stepped into a pool of moonlight and I could see what was in his hands. A chainsaw. A bloody, red chainsaw was what he carried. I wanted to scream but my mouth felt dry and scratchy, like sandpaper. My dry lips were sealed shut as I stepped back from the window completely terrified. After a few moments, due to curiosity, I slowly made my way back to the window and when I did, he was no where to be found. Later, at midnight I had finally begun to fall asleep. My eyes were closed and I was just about to drift off into a dream when I felt something drip onto my...

...1 1. Introduction 1.1. Bloody Sunday Sunday the 27th of January 1972 became known as the Bloody Sunday. This Sunday represents a very important point in the history of the partition of Ireland and the relationship between England and Northern Ireland. 14 people had been shot and another 13 wounded by British soldiers during a protest in the northern Irish city Derry for civil rights and against the British occupation policy on this very Sunday. The Events that took place on Bloody Sunday had been the initial phase for the conflict in Northern Ireland to escalate. As a result, the conflict got worse. Shortly after the declaration of the happenings in Derry, an enraged crowd of northern Irish citizens occupied the British Embassy in Dublin and burned it down. To simplify the enormous amount of the subject matter “Ireland”, in the following lesson, there is going to be a didactical cutback. To begin with, the students are supposed to get to know some basic facts about the divided Ireland. In this one lesson, it is not about representing the topic in all of its details. To a greater degree, it is about approaching the topic particularly with regard to war and peace. The children shall know, what happened on Bloody Sunday and they should be able to classify the events into the historical-cultural background.1 1.2. The Song “Sunday, Bloody Sunday by U2” One of the most famous Bands in the World, U2, was founded in 1983. The Single “Sunday, Bloody Sunday” is the reason for the...

...bravery, and eventually reflection, and is shaped by his stressful and horrific life as a Union soldier in the American Civil War, which forces him to progress mentally. In The Red Badge of Courage, Henry Fleming demonstrates an ambitious nature, however, this nature is altered by his experiences on the battlefield, causing him to become a more reflective individual. For example, when describing Fleming’s eighteen year-old, untested thoughts towards the regiment’s first battle, Crane writes, “He had, of course, dreamed of battles all his life-- of vague and bloody conflicts that had thrilled him with their sweep and fire” (Crane 3). Essentially, before experiencing any combat firsthand, Fleming thinks of war as a glorious and heroic situation, and is eager to join the cause. However, later in the novel, after experiencing a few battles, Henry loses this sense of eagerness. When describing his feelings after an especially bloody battle, Crane writes, “He appeared dazed, looking as if he was questioning ever joining the great war” (Crane 56). While Henry begins the novel ambitious and...

To end the war, a set of constitutional amendments known as "The Bill of Life" was passed. It satisfied both the Pro-life and the Pro-choice armies.
