Lee Brasseur’s article, “Florence Nightingale’s Visual Rhetoric in the Rose Diagrams” offers an insight of the practice of information design, through the work of Nightingale. In the Victorian era, during which women have played a subordinate role in the political world, Nightingale has successfully persuaded the British government to reform the army sanitary and management systems. Firstly, Nightingale uses rhetoric tools to address a problem --the poor treatment of soldiers in the field hospitals. Secondly, she provides an extensive analysis of the problem using statistical and comparative methods. Ultimately, she guides the readers to see the solution for the problem using objective data and emotional appeal. Nightdale had to overcome many

In the short story The Flowers by Alice Walker, the author uses imagery in nature to convey the motif of growth and change, an element of the story which contributes to the idea that one cannot stay young and innocent forever; eventually, everyone has to grow up, no matter how unprepared they may be. Natural imagery is used with great frequency throughout the story, starting in the first sentence, but a strong example can be found regarding the spring. It is described as “where the family got drinking water”, a source of vitality and sustenance, yet “tiny white bubbles disrupt the thin black scale of soil… the water [silently rising] and [sliding] away down the stream” (Walker). This quote details the movement of the spring as well as the
“In these conditions, it was not surprising that in army hospitals, war wounds only accounted for one death in six. Diseases such as typhus, cholera, and dysentery were the main reasons why the death rate was so high amongst wounded soldiers” (Spartacus, 2011, ¶ 10). Nightingale went on to establish sanitary guidelines to improve nursing quality, statistical ways of obtaining data, and most importantly environmental factors to improve patient quality. What we know of Florence Nightingale is that although she was born into a wealthy family, she had a different drive in her life towards helping other humans. Nightingale demonstrated pure altruism, but why? What constitutes for her behaviors and traits, there must be a key to unlocking the personality development of Florence Nightingale.
Rose first explains how the educational system classifies a child’s class. He then proceeds to elaborate on how the vocational class works for those who do not do as well in school. He uses pathos so the reader feels emotional for the less fortunate student in the vocational class. Rose conveys his beliefs by using personal examples. He learns true qualities of people and shares the stories of Dave Snyder, Ted Richard, and Ken Harvey. Sharing the personal indications of what puts the students in the vocational class, gives the reader the notion that they have strengths that do not apply doing well in school. Rose ties the examples together in the end to confirm his opinion that one should never settle being defined as average.
This quote is a flashback from an elderly Vianne, and it is the first line in the book. This quote foreshadows the effect that war has on many characters, and how such a horrible event can put everything under a microscope and show the courageous battles fought, and not just by the soldiers. War is an abhorrent event that has the ability to destroy everything. That is no different in the novel The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. The Nightingale is about two French sisters, Vianne and Isabelle Rossignol and tells their stories while living in a German-occupied France. Right from the very beginning, it seems that the two sisters have completely opposite characteristics. When Vianne was 14 and Isabelle was 4 their mother died. This is obviously a very emotional time for the two and they both cope with the death of their mother in very different ways. Vianne is forced to take over the mother role which is courageous at any age, but at 14 it is simply gallant:“You will be the mother now. Her father said to Vianne while her eyes were swollen from crying, her grief unbearable”(7). Vianne did not even have the opportunity to cope with her mother's loss before she had to fill her mother's shoes, whose shoes were not easy to fill by any means. Isabelle on the other hand is a fiercely rebellious girl who refuses to listen to anyone. She is expelled from a dozen boarding schools throughout her teenage years, and she is unwilling to settle down and be the proper lady her father so desperately wishes her to be. At the beginning of the novel, both sisters appear to have distinctive differences in regard to their personality and values.
Marie is truly one of kind poet who displays a unique sense of awareness and ability in helping us understand what things were like in the twelfth century. Even though the heart of her poems is about courtly love, the way she depicts the characters is special in a sense that she can achieve a lot more than one would imagine. Examples of this can be seen in her poems, The Lay of the Honeysuckle and The Lay of the Nightingale, especially when we keen on the characters of these poems.
But with a visual diagram they unable to deny the causes of death were actually from infection not battle wounds. They were forced to see the truth, they couldn’t ignore it like they did with writing. 5. Through the diagram the
When you think of a fence, you think of a wooden barrier to keep things in or out. In the play Fences, the word means much more to Rose, Troy, Cory, Gabriel, Lyons, and Rynell. The word is deeper and more meaningful to them than just a fence you put around a house or graveyard. Even if it sounds like it is going to be just a wooden fence, it turns out through the play, the fence begins to symbolize something for each member of the family.
Whether it is the delicate crease of a fallen leaf, or the subtle bend of a flowing stream. Whether it is the drumming of moist dacrocytes against tiled roofs, while a strip of startling colours begins to half-moon. Or the swaying of icy flakes lazily covering the plains in white, causing the arctic air to crawl up your spine. Whether it is the delicate kiss of the sunlight lingering through the hustle and bustle of the dancing canopies, or the vibrant hues of pansies bathing in the tepid breeze. Whether it is the horizon draining out its citrus hues, turning the skies into inky blackness or the moonlight bathing the city in its silvery radiance. It is us spirits that truly guide nature to its purpose.
William Faulkner uses symbolism throughout A Rose for Emily. Faulkner was masterful in this literary technique and used symbolism to create layers within his characters, settings, and overall story. In A Rose for Emily the reader can find symbolism throughout and especially in the story title, Miss Emily’s home, and death and taxes. The symbolic features in this story allows a reader to better understand the depth of Faulkner’s story. Without symbolism the story would not have the same meaning.
Summary In the article “Visual and Statistical Thinking: Displays of Evidence for Making Decisions” the author Edward R. Tufte discusses why visual representations are very important when presenting data or statistics. Tufte provides two examples of situations where the way data was displayed had a major effect on the outcome. In the first scenario, Tufte writes about a 1854 cholera outbreak in London. A man named John Snow helped end the outbreak by effectively plotting the cases of cholera on a map with all local water pumps marked.
Symbolism in literature is using an object to portray a different, deeper meaning in a story. Symbols represent ideas or qualities that the author has maneuvered into his or her story that has meaning. There can be multiple symbols in a story or just one. It is up to the reader to interpret the meaning of the symbols and their significance to the story. While reading a story, symbols may not become clear until the very end, once the climax is over, and the falling action is covered. In William Faulkner’s, “A Rose for Emily,” there are multiple examples of symbolism that occur throughout the story.
Florence Nightingale, born in 1820, revolutionized nursing as it is today. Throughout her time working with the wounded soldiers during the Crimean War, she noted that more soldiers were dying of infections than from wounds. Therefore, she worked to ensure sanitation as well as sufficient health and healing practices amongst her patients. From care to prevention, Nightingale’s practices were able to set the foundation for nurses today. Nightingale distinguished that a healthy environment is essential to one’s health and thus her tenets of ventilation, cleanliness, light, as well as nutrition set the bases of the City of Toronto’s tuberculosis program for the under-housed, homeless, and the correctional population.
Florence Nightingale was born in Florence, Italy. Her parents named her after the city she was born in. She was born on May 12,1980, she was raised mostly in Derbyshire England. Many people when they hear Florence Nightingale think about her as a nurse and for her fight for better hospital care. Florence did a lot more in her life than achieve better hospital conditions, and become a nurse. She was a brilliant mathematician, and used statistics to apply them to achieve her reforms. Florence was a well-educated woman in a number of fields other than math;
Florence Nightingale, a well-educated nurse, was recruited along with 38 other nurses for service in a hospital called Scutari during the Crimean War in 1854 . It was Nightingale's approaches to nursing that produced amazing results. Florence Nightingale was responsible for crucial changes in hospital protocol, a new view on the capabilities and potential of women, and the creation of a model of standards that all future nurses could aspire towards.
