.... figurative meaning. Imagery is Dickinson’s main figurative tool in this poem. the idea that crumbling is progressive is supported by the last two lines of the first stanza, which state, “Dilapidation’s processes Are organized Decays” This means that crumbling is a result of dilapidation, which is caused by gradual decay.

.... role in the play, and was the motive for Iago to conjure up a plan to ruin . Iago was resentful because of the fact the had gotten the job he wanted, and because of this Iago seeks revenge on by ruining his life and career. Iago cannot accept that meant no harm to him, and will not rest until he thinks he is even with him.

Iago states his intentions best when he says: …Till I am even'd with him, wife for wife, Or failing so, yet that I put the Moor At lea .....

.... he will be using Roderigo to help ensnare the Moor in a trap, but does not reveal how. Which thing to do If this poor trash of Venice, whom I trace For his quick hunting, stand the putting on I'll have our Michael Cassio on the hip Abuse him to the Moor in the right garb. (Shakespeare, II, i, 302-06) These are but a few of the ways that Iago manages to keep the audience involved in the plot of his diabolical scheme. Iago is also a very deceitful character. He will always tell the characters one of two things: exactly what they want to hear or the exact opposite, in order to m .....

.... of the ABCB rhyme scheme: And when he came bold Robin before, "O hast thou any money to spare For my merry men and me?"

.... by his older brother, and what he figured out on his own. When he was seven years old, they moved to Stratford, Connecticut. Here is where King got his first exposure to horror. One evening he listened to the radio adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s story “Mars Is Heaven!” That night King recalls he “slept in the doorway, where the real and rational light of the bathroom bulb could shine on my face” (Beaham 16).

.... For example, in another article, Randall Denley, speaks of the unions and their "kangaroo courts", a metaphor that is commonly used without any knowledge of it's meaning. In another article, metaphors like "His voice thunders..." and "...taken the theater scene by storm" are too frequently used just because the author lacks the imagination to make one up for himself, a common problem in Modern English. The use of dying metaphors could be avoided if writers would just take the time and trouble to make up a new metaphor for themselves. The use of pretentious diction is probably the mos .....

In his book 1984, George Orwell created a society in which the ministry of information controlled the masses by controlling the information they received. The government even went so far as to rewrite history by changing old newspaper and film files to support the ideological goals of the current regime.

Thus beyond all of the reason and thought that he cloaks himself in, Iago is really a character that is truly dark at his core. Iago is a character who believes that there is no such thing as virtue in any individual that he meets. His animalistic perspective of individuals lets him believe that everyone around him has the same self-serving attitude towards life as his own. “When the blood is made dull with the act of sport, there should be game to inflame it and to give satiety .....

.... people believe sincerely in their Gods. When they break the Kola nuts and make offerings, they show they are civilized and respect one-another. Also, the Ibo are cultured enough to understand and differentiate among different customs. "You say there is one supreme God who made heaven and earth," said Akunna on one of Mr. Brown's visits. We also believe in Him and call Him Chukwu."(Pg. 179) By contrasting the two religions in this way, Achebe indicates that these natives are very proud of their religion and are capable of understanding and relating their religion to the newly come Christi .....
