Welcome To Nightvale Poem Analysis

If you have never listened to Welcome to Night Vale, it is very hard to describe Welcome to Night Vale. True, it is a friendly desert community, but it is so much more. As someone who has listened to Night Vale for years, now doing so while I make dinner most nights, I was skeptic that the magic and weirdness conveyed as you as you listened to Cecil broadcast on his community radio show would translate to the page. Yet, much as advertised, this novel is a perfect introduction into Night Vale if you have never listened and a great companion piece for long time listeners to the show. It captures the fun, weird, creepy, and downright horrifying aspects of everyday life in a town where time is weird and it's really hard to leave.

This deeply contrast what is felt in chapter one because words are now used to convey an unsafe, loud, and unpleasant mood, and an image of the characters being in harm’s way is portrayed. In chapter one, words such as “far off”, “little”, and “immediately” exude an image and scene of safety, that the characters are aware of the dangers of their environment, yet are unaffected. The angry sounds of the men are described as being distant, and the loud and distracting rustling of the leaves die down quickly, thus this use of imagery through word choice displays the mood of safety. Opposing this, in chapter six, words such as “sounded”, “much closer”, and “crashing” create this mood of unsafeness, peril, and disharmony. In this chapter, the distant shouts of men becomes not so distant, and the quiet and brief rustling of leaves is rather drawn out and

The painting Nighthawks perfectly portrays a late night in a downtown diner during the 1940’s. The dull expressions leaking off the people’s faces give off a quiet mood. When you first look at the picture your eyes catch notice to how the diner is radiating a fluorescent light through the long continuous windows into the cold dark street illuminating the neighboring buildings. A sign above the diner shows what looks to be a cigar and under that the words read to be “Only 5 C”. The word Phillies Stretches across the whole sign which leads me to believe they are advertising Phillies, or that is the name of the small diner.

Dawe in his poem ‘Drifters’ presents the inevitable nature of change, particularly change that is unwanted.

These prominent themes are manipulated through the motif of travelling, flashbacks and symbolism.

The 2016 census reported that 14% of the United States population was living below the poverty line. And sometimes, desperate times call for desperate measures. Leading people to go as far as committing a crime just to feed their family. This was the theme of Cage The Elephant’s song, “Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked,” written by Matt Schultz. In the song, Schultz utilizes personal experiences and an emotional appeal to address the issues of poverty to the upper classes and to justify how people in poverty or “the Wicked” handle their situation by the means of crime and immoral ways.

Just before the demons invade the house, wind chimes tinkle to an accelerating tempo; the ominous weather and clouds forming over the house is an accurate illustration of the saying “the calm before the storm.” This clever use of pathetic fallacy and non-diegetic sound forms an eerie setting and provides a sense of foreboding entangled with images of previous signs that have led to this moment. The weather reflects the growing sense of danger and uncertainty faced by the characters. This ambiguity leaves the viewers questioning the true nature of the threat facing the characters. Non-diegetic sound enhances the tension; the chimes serve as a subtle cue to notify the audience to stay alert as something pretentious occurs.

As Grendel is introduced in the poem, the quote immediately tells the reader that Grendel is an outcast compared to others. As a natural instinct, people assume a flaw is a flaw and there is something bound to be wrong with the individual, because he is not like the rest of the others, he is different. However, less emphasis is placed on the quote which helps to justify why the creature is as it is, The quote, once analyzed, helps to explain the creature itself from how it was brought up and the background behind all its actions. It so happens to be a trait that was carried throughout each generation. Having been a part of the Germanic culture, the role of Grendel plays a major role when it comes to picking and choosing one's destiny.

Genocide. Rape. Murder. Domestic violence. Massacre. Kidnapping. These are all acts of horrendous violence that we hope to never encounter. Yet, it happens everyday around world. And the victims are forced to say forgive and forget, but is it really that simple? I believe that in some situations forgiveness is not an option. According to an online poll, only 38 out of 68 people believe victims who suffered from childhood abuse should not forgive their abuser. Although, what does forgiveness really mean?

Death is a topic that unites all of humanity. While it can be uncomfortable to think about, confronting death in unavoidable. “Dying” addresses that discomfort and universal unwillingness to consider the inevitability of death. Pinsky’s use of imagery, symbolism, and tone create a poetic experience that is like death, something every reader can relate to. In “Dying,” Pinsky describes how people are oblivious and almost uncaring when it comes to the thought of death. Pinsky is trying to convince the reader that they shouldn’t ignore the concept of death because life is shorter than it seems.

In the dead of night, caked in icy mud and blood from the abrasions of the brambles in the mire passed the Fluted Vale; Aberdeen escaped in the cover of darkness in scantly a stitch of clothing stark against her rice flower white skin. She removed leeches from her body with numb fingers and slight pain and annoyance as the chill of the cold ground permeated her tired cold bones in a place just past pure exhaustion. Her heart raced with a sluggish gurgle in her heart and she could feel it in her ears as she saw her breath in plumes of steam in the waning moonlight.

Gemma awoke, with a huge yawn, on a rainy spring morning. She climbed out of bed and went to her bedroom
