The effect
8. The Effect
‘HE’D never seen so many dead before.’ | |
They sprawled in yellow daylight while he swore | |
And gasped and lugged his everlasting load | |
Of bombs along what once had been a road. | |
‘How peaceful are the dead.’ | 5 |
Who put that silly gag in some one’s head? | |
‘He’d never seen so many dead before.’ | |
The lilting words danced up and down his brain, | |
While corpses jumped and capered in the rain. | |
No, no; he wouldn’t count them any more... | 10 |
The dead have done with pain: | |
They’ve choked; they can’t come back to life again. | |
When Dick was killed last week he looked like that, | |
Flapping along the fire-step like a fish, | |
After the blazing crump had knocked him flat... | 15 |
‘How many dead? As many as ever you wish. | |
Don’t count ’em; they’re too many. | |
Who’ll buy my nice fresh corpses, two a penny?’ |

Italian sonnet ( love poem)
If I should die, think only this of me:
That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England’s, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Now, God be thanked who has matched us with his hour,
And caught our youth, and wakened us from sleeping!
With hand made sure, clear eye, and sharpened power,
To turn, as swimmers into cleanness leaping,
Glad from a world grown old and cold and weary;
Leave the sick hearts that honor could not move,
And half-men, and their dirty songs and dreary,
And all the little emptiness of love!
Oh! we, who have known shame, we have found release there,
Where there’s no ill, no grief, but sleep has mending,
Naught broken save this body, lost but breath;
Nothing to shake the laughing heart’s long peace there,
But only agony, and that has ending;
And the worst friend and enemy is but Death.

My monologue
It's funny... I thought if you could hear me, I could hang on somehow. Silly me. Silly old Doctor. When you wake up, you'll have a mum and dad, and you won't even remember me. Well, you'll remember me a little. I'll be a story in your head. But that's okay: we're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Because it was, you know, it was the best: a daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away. Did I ever tell you I stole it? Well, I borrowed it; I was always going to take it back. Oh, that box, Amy, you'll dream about that box. It'll never leave you. Big and little at the same time, brand-new and ancient, and the bluest blue ever. And the times we had, eh? Would've had. Never had. In your dreams, they'll still be there. The Doctor and Amy Pond... and the days that never came. The cracks are closing. But they can't close properly 'til I'm on the other side. I don't belong here anymore. I think I'll skip the rest of the rewind. I hate repeats. Live well. Love Rory. Bye-bye, Pond.

10 things I hate about you paragraph about tone
"I hate it when you stare." Tone is a type of language used to convey emotions. The 'I Hate' poem by Miranda uses tone to help convey her feelings.
"I hate it when you make me laugh Even worse when you make me cry " this shows all the emotion that she is feeling by using a certain tone a sad and very angry tone but that's calm and not shouting. She makes everyone feel vulnerable for her because she is starting to cry. The laugh and cry is juxtaposed in this quote because when she says laugh she is angry and when she says cry she is very sad and they are total opposites.

"I hate it so much it makes me sick, it even makes me rhyme" The tone here goes from angry to sarcastic when she says "it even makes me rhyme" this is like saying she didn't intend to make it rhyme she meant to get the message across.
In the monologue the 10 things i hate about you Miranda uses different tones to show all the emotions she wanted to tell the guy that hurt her.
