The Rhetorical Message Of The Photograph : Sonata For Freedom

The focus of the painting is based on the two soldiers passing the shell to each other and then into to the artillery to shoot against the German army. The gesture of working together in harsh realities carries the message of unity and self-sacrifice for the war. One soldier does not have his uniform on meaning no protective gear that characterizes unselfishness in the center of a great battle. Furthermore, there is a soldier, who has an injury on his hand, yet still continuing to fight. The wound shows contribution in the face of danger and heroism marked by the bandaged arm on his return to the conflict. It sets an example of selflessness and bravery and the artist shows that in war, sacrifice can be represented by their schedule of duty.

A distinctly visual aspect of demonstrating the experience of the characters kindles curiosity in the audience to involve and instill emotional understanding of the context. Through the use of distinct and unique techniques, composers create an emotional response that can have a significant effect on the responders’ attitude on the world. The play ‘The shoe-horn sonata’ explores the crisis of circumstances as John Misto depicts the forgotten history of the women captured and imprisoned during WW2. Misto explores the experiences of the Australian nurses and the government’s response to their pleads of salvation, to emotionally bind the audience and the characters. Likewise, David Douglas Duncan involves the audience by evoking a feeling of pity and empathy in his Korean War photograph. He creates sentiment for the loss of innocence and employs distinctly visual elements to convey the horrifying nature of war. He profoundly highlights power in the photograph to explore the despair felt by the weak fleeing Korean citizens. Hence, both authors elevate the context with a visual representation of the individuals’ struggles to create curiosity and emotional rapport with the audience to improve the understanding of the characters experiences.

In the poem, The Little Polish Boy Standing With His Arms Up, by Peter L. Fischl, the author informs the reader that the world should have seen the horrible and dehumanizing behavior of the Nazis and their Nazi machine gun bullets. In the poem, the little Polish boy represents all of the Jews that were being held concentration camps and those that had to endure the severe brutality and torture from the Nazis. In order to draw attention to the inhumanity of the German society at that time, Fischl advises the reader that he would paint a picture, “A painting so bright to blind the eyes of the world” (Stanza 11) to remember the little Polish boy. Peter L. Fischl instinctively informs us about him want to make a concerto of

The first stanza tells the reader that the writer glorified war and hoped to be a solider. In the second stanza, the battles that he speaks of aren’t real, they’re battles that he has imagined. The battles and innumerable wounds could be metaphors for his hard upbringing (3-4). The poem uses a lot of figurative language to portray the authors youthful imagination. Simic imagines what it would be like to be a solider, by playing with cardboard swords and boasting about “Slain thousands” (4).

The music at 1:06 is matching the natural rhythms of the moving objects on the screen, even though they are only pictures the set of the pictures goes with the music. For example the music starts of slow, and they show a picture of a train, it shows or represents the feelings of the characters of the long ride they are taking to their new home. After that the music starts getting fast, better beat, better vibe, that’s when they show the big crowds at the train stations. Also they have pictures of them drink at parties having fun like they have no worries. On the other hand the music at 26:56 is to give the audience a certain mood. The song that was put in that scene is a happy but goofy relaxed song, the movie was being sarcastic because they

The DJ Hanoi Hannah says things to remind the soldiers of home. She taunts them with the things that the black soldiers frequently thought about such as “You’re dead as King today as Memphis” (line 2-3). The death of Dr. Martin Luther King was a touchy subject for the African American soldiers. A black sergeant granted a white soldier a physical lesson when he overheard him protesting King’s image constantly being on TV (Maycock).She mentioned things that would remind them of their communities back home. The soldiers surely missed their families. “It’s Saturday night in the States. / Guess what your woman’s doing tonight. / I think I’ll let Tina Turner / tell you, you homesick GIs” (14-17). The reminder of the fact that it was a constant struggle to stay alive is indicated in the lines, “You know you’re dead men, / don’t you? You’re dead / as King today in Memphis. / Boys, you’re surrounded by / General Tran Do’s division” (20-24). The African American soldiers are disheartened because they have more to deal with besides the mental, emotional and physical stress of the war. Other issues include racism, segregation, and inequality. Instead of encouraging the black soldiers, DJ Hannah reminds them that their fight in this war is even harder because they are black. “Her knife –edge song cuts / deep as sniper’s bullet” (25-26).Why are the black soldiers fighting? This is not a black man’s war but a white

Little did anyone know, these next few days are going to be very tragic for everyone around. The tragic starts with Jude Charles, the new guy. He moved to a different town and he now attends Rome High School, named after the most popular girl in the school, Romania. There was something about Jude Charles that made everyone admire him. Every student found him as a great leader and was willing to listen to everything he said. However, there are two students that were not blindsighted by him, Bailey and Cassie. They thought that something felt off about him, but they did not second look it. Jude Charles worked his magic around the school causing every girl to fall in love with him. However, Jude only had his eyes on one girl, Romania. Romania

The Universal Soldier is less of a man or human and more so the idea of every soldier combined as well as the perspective war personified. Throughout the song, the Universal Soldier is referred to as “him” and the songs depict what he is and what he does. The lines 1 and 4 are both representative of the height and age parameters for soldiers in 1961, which supports the idea that he represents all soldiers in war. The lines 22-24 depict him as the armies both Hitler and Caesar have; without both of their armies, they could not have accomplished what they did.

The Rhetorical Force of Landscape Art Why talk about a rhetoric of images? The most obvious answer is that we live in an image-saturated society and a relevant rhetoric must pay attention to images, that W. J. T. Mitchell is right when he suggests that the rhetorical turn is being displaced by the pictorial turn. Beyond the obvious, the answers are multiple and layered. I want to suggest some answers by looking at some old pictures: Carleton Watkins' landscape photographs of Yosemite and William Henry Jackson's landscape photographs and Thomas Moran's water colors and paintings of Yellowstone. At a basic level, if rhetoric is, at the very least, about persuasion in conventional politics, images merit a look and have

In the fifth stanza he uses imagery in a different instance where he describes how ignorant the veteran was about the reality as he is only thinking of the glorification of war. He portrays an image of “jewelled hilts”, “daggers in plaid socks;”, “smart salutes” and “Esprit de corps”. Throughout the stanza we hear of the glories and amusements of war but only on the last line does he mention the aftermath of the war where he was discharged due to his disability.

"Softly as if I played piano in the dark / Found a way to channel my anger now to embark / The world's a stage and everybody's got to play their part," raps a manipulated sample from the Outkast song, "ATLiens", setting off the following song, "War Ready", sequentially leading up to the character's suicide. Throughout the EP, we experience the transformation of a broken man into his cocky, confident former self. Each song is filled with a combined sense of uncertainty and anxiety, a product of the expectations and covetousness imposed on him.

Ossie Davis once said, “Any form of art is a form of power; it has an impact, it can affect change, it can not only move us, it makes us move”. Similarly, The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway tells the story of how three individuals Arrow, Dragan and Kenan suffering from the unrelenting and ruthlessness of war are impacted by one musician’s art. All three characters suffer from the war in different ways, but the art in the form of music finds a way to connect them all. Galloway’s novel illustrates that art helps lessen the suffering of those facing the brutality of war as the cellist’s music provides healing of the spirit, mind, and body. The cellist’s music provides hope and inspiration to the people of Sarajevo that they will be able

Lord of the Flies, a modern classic novel written by Mr. William Golding. In the words of E.M Forster, Lord of the Flies, “begins like a Ballantyne yarn, but ends grimly otherwise. Beautifully written, tragic and provocative.” Lord of the Flies in essence is about human nature. According to William Golding, he believes that humans are “Born Evil”, very intrinsic, but with many forms of proof and theories throughout the book and other sources, humans commit evil because they are taught, not born with the urge of brutal behaviour. But in the novel, it shows how the group of boys react to the changes of being stranded on an island, with the chances of not getting saved. With the thought of not getting saved, they go barbaric. Evil is defined as

The overall message in this poem is a drill sergeant educating young soldiers and preparing them for the harsh reality of war. He is not playing ‘Mr. nice guy’, he is being tough and strict to give the soldiers no easy way out.

Next, How was the battle started?. Very interesting to see so many people but, No main person of it all. Now Wait!, “What is it now they see a boy named Toby”, and he has a drum. I see as he starts to beat (The generals strength) starts to the battle itself. i know that it helps “general of the army when the generals are left behind,” As they were in the field. As if he plays, The soldiers allow themselves to set pace with beat as a start off. And continue the beat on the drum.
