“Away” is a historical play written in 1988 by Michael Gow. Away reflects to the central ideas, values and conflicts of Australia in 1967-68. The central ideas embrace outsiders, family conflicts and grief and loss which affected families in the play and in the time. Gow uses three main families to convey the message of the play. The use of language and stylistic devices influence the way Gow has been able to speak to the modern Australian audience. In the play, Gow is able to speak to the modern Australian audience with the clever, complex use of allusion. The modern audience would have to do research to understand the allusions in the play however on a superficial level the audience is still able to enjoy the central themes and ideas of the play.

In Michael Gow’s play ‘Away’, a story of families in the 1960’s and how they come to embrace each other’s differences through gaining self-knowledge. Through identifying the context of act 3 scene 2, as well as the relationships between characters and the reasons behind them, as well as the stylistic devices used by Gow to share a message with his audiences that, even today, an audience can relate too. By analysing quotes from the scene to support conclusions, the purpose of this scene will be identified and a greater understanding the theme of self-knowledge in this scene will be formed.

The movie Out of the Past directed by Jacques Tourneur fits within the traditions of film noir because it has some similar themes associated with it, such as doomed love. Robert Mitchum plays the doomed, double-crossed , ex-private eye as Jeff Markham. The femme fatale is played by Jane Greer as Kathie Moffat, who is trying to escape her future. Kirk Douglas as Whit Sterling plays the ruthless gangster czar in the film. The formal cinematic elements in the movie are used to vividly describe the movie. You can see that the lighting is very shadowy and dark. The composition of the film leaves the audience feeling trapped within Jeff's problems. For example, when Jeff starts his journey from Mexico to San Francisco we the audience start to

After watching Escape Fire documentary, the way this film explain how the patient is not getting enough time with doctors seems to be factually presented. According to a study by Kaiser Health News, 2014, today’s primary doctor visit is commonly scheduled for a fifteen minutes’ intervals, and some physicians who work at the hospital are asked to see a new patient every eleven minutes, Even within that short period of time, doctors probably are not listening attentively to what their patient is saying. A study of family doctor practice in 2009 found that doctors let their patient speaks for approximately only 23 seconds before redirecting them, and about 25% of patient got to finish their statements. Another study revealed that primary care

The story “The cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe already starts with irony in the first sentence; “The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge”. By using irony the author allows readers to have different interpretations of his story; for example Poe’s antagonist characters has the name of Fortunado. He is the one that is murdered in the end, thus demonstrating that he is not as fortunate as his name seems to indicate. Bella Wang and Amelia Tibbett exemplify this by saying, in her analysis of Poe’s story; “Poe gives the victim the name of Fortunato, which may mean "fortunate" in Italian, but adds an extra element of cynical humor to Fortunato 's jovial and unsuspecting character.” (Wang) and also “the word "luckily" also recalls the meaning of Fortunato 's name and is thus entirely unfitting for Fortunato 's fate.” (Wang). Moreover, in her analysis of the text, Amelia Tibbett confirms the fact that the reader has a kind of freedom in interoperating the story; Poe cleverly weaves this story so that he has perfect control over the narrative, all the while allowing the reader some freedom in their own interpretations. (Tibbett).

In the stories “Story of an Hour”, “Everyday Use”, “The Necklace”, and “The Lottery” it is evident that irony was quite a large part of the short story. There is situational irony, which is when the situation turns out differently than expected. Also, dramatic irony is present, which is when you as a reader knows more than the character. The authors seem to base their whole story around irony to surprise their readers.

Shakespeare expresses his love for his mistress through metaphors, typical of sonnets about love. However, those comparisons describe his poor mistress in unpleasant ways, in distinct to typical love sonnets. Poets usually describe the beauty of their lover through embellished comparisons and through the usage of romantic language. Shakespeare pokes fun at the fact that these comparisons are too

Sadness, Joy, Fear, Disgust and Anger. Five emotions felt by human beings on a regular basis. These five emotions are personified as characters in the movie “Inside Out”. The movie Inside Out is about an 11-year-old girl named Riley who is living a happy life until she moves with her family to San Francisco (Rivera, Docter, del Carmen, 2015). Cognitive, social and linguistic development are all essential parts that contribute to the development of a growing child, such as Riley. The movie displays these types of development in terms of memories, emotions, attention, humor and many other aspects. The purpose of this paper will be to explain why the movie Inside Out (2015) is appropriate for children ages 6 to 12 years of age in terms of their cognitive, social and linguistic development.

An example of this is visible in Ovid’s story as Daedalus attaches the wings to his son before they take off, as Ovid mentions to the reader that “he [gives] kisses to his son not to be repeated.” Daedalus does not know what would happen to his son, if he did he would have never taken flight. However, the reader does know, adding suspense to the narrative through this exemplary use of dramatic irony. Contrast to this is evident in Williams’ poem where he begins his poem describing the tragedy of “Icarus [falling] in the spring.” Here are two clashing ideas: the death of Icarus and the season of spring, symbolic of blossoming life. The outcome of his flight is not what one would expect in such a beautiful season, but Williams uses situational irony to communicate how life goes on even in the midst of tragedy. Ironic details exclusive to each of these stories carries

In America, racism as well as race relations are generally extremely sensitive subjects that are often brushed underneath the rug. Earlier this year, Jordan Peele’s Get Out graced the big screen, and left audiences with a great deal to digest. Peele’s first cinematic debut touched on the delicate topics of racism and the continuous devaluing of African American culture by “liberal” Caucasians in American suburbs. In this essay, one will explore the ways in which works written by modern political thinkers such as Nietzsche and Marx effortlessly add perspective through various theories on the difficulties brought to light in the motion picture, Get Out.

Irony is a technique that uses words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning. For example, dramatic irony is a type of irony which is shown in the first Shrek movie. Fiona loves Shrek but only Donkey and the audience know. In this situation, dramatic irony is being created because the character Shrek does not know that Fiona loves him but the audience does. The short stories “The Lottery” the reader may find both situational and dramatic irony that both create the ironic ending.

Every day people experience ironic situations. Whether it is the bus leaving early when someone is already running late for work or an obstetrician missing a delivery because she is in labor; irony happens. Poetry is life in the form of art, and without irony, it would not be as interesting or relatable. “Irony in poetry occurs when a discrepancy exists between two levels of meaning or experience… Skillfully used, irony is a powerful way of making a pointed comment or manipulating a reader’s emotions” (445). Be it situational irony where the situation itself is opposite a reader’s expectation, verbal irony where a poet manipulates tone to say something opposite of what the words say or dramatic irony which is when the reader sees something

Inside Out is a Disney-Pixar film in which a girl, Riley Anderson has her entire world flipped upside down when her father’s job forces them to relocate from Minnesota to San Francisco. Disney worked with scientists to make this as realistic as possible, it is still readerly. There is no room for interpretation of the movie, even if someone noticed something new about it each time they watched, it would still be the same. Regardless of it’s readerly nature, I enjoyed this movie more compared to other Disney movies that are the run of the mill love story.
