Sarcasm outline for rants

People try so hard to be sarcastic and it never works they say it so obviously but no one understands and it's the worst thing in the world Sarcasm is a lower form of wit and people use it in horrible ways! Shen someone asks did you wake up this morning and so one says Nooo in a sarcastic way then. It's funny but being like did you wake up early this morning and then saying noooo it's just stupid It's like the people being sarcastic want you to know that they don't care what you say all they care about is themselves and nothing else

Themes and motifs

Text in context:
Christopher has gone to the shop.
He saw 5 red cars in a row on the way to school but nothing happened to him at school so he thinks it's going to happen after school!
Christopher finds out about the relationship between his mother and mr shears. This reopens the investigation and leads to writing it in his book
The father finds out and stops him from writing
And throws it away
Which leads to the discovery of the letters.
The knowledge is subjective because of the cars (the super good day). He has decided to talk to Mrs Alexander because it's a super good day. This passage is ironic, because the information he finds out will be super bad but for him is super good.
The themes are the big ideas:
There are three big ideas: knowledge is subjective is present in this passage because Christopher's knowledge of his mother is based on previous experience and how it's a god day is subjective. The cars are symbolic to him because to him it means a super good day and a black day.

essay about all 6 paragraphs

O Jesus make it stop!
  
The brutality and tragedy and horrors of WW1 is something that we should never forget. 
Six fantastic poems showing the situation of the soldiers at that time will be presented and the figurative language serving the main idea of them will be described.

He'd never seen so many dead before'. The effect by Siegfried Sassoon is a powerful poem that exemplifies what happened to the soldiers during WW1. The main idea of the poem is that ' too many men are dead'. The poem uses metaphors to understand the true feeling of the war. The metaphor 'Flapping along the fire-step like a fish,' describes the men as they fall when getting shot. The metaphors in the whole poem all describe the way them men fell and reacted to the shot they received. 'Who will buy my nice fresh corpses, two a penny? ‘This metaphor describes how all the men were reacting to the amount of men that died and were dying. Siegfried Sassoon uses metaphors to tell a poetic story to help people understand how brutal it was when all the men were dying.
"Oh Jesus make it stop!"
Attack, by Siegfried Sassoon is a powerful poem about "going over the top", and it uses imagery and metaphors to serve the big idea. The main idea of the poem is that the situation is hopeless and the men are desperate. "The barrage roars and lifts" this is an example of auditory imagery it is a very powerful sentence because of the use of metaphors included in the sentence. The sight imagery is best exemplified by "lines of grey, masked with fear". This quote of imagery of sight uses a really great metaphor which is "masked" to say that the men's faces were so scared the minute you looked at them you thought they were totally different people  hence the "masked with fear". "Hope, with furtive eyes and grappling fists" in this quote the metaphor is "hope" since they are hopeless meaning there is no hope left. Siegfried Sassoon used powerful auditory imagery and metaphor to get across the point that the men were hopeless because they lost everything that made sense to them and had their lives changed forever.

Some small piece of foreign field that is forever. England
The soldier is an important poem for a number of reasons, it exemplifies the attitudes of people at the beginning of WWI, as well as being a very interesting example of the sonnet form. The main idea of the poem is how glorious is to die for England. The big idea is served by a lot of figurative language. In the whole poem but mostly on the 2nd stanza, Rupert Brooke uses repeatedly implicit and explicit imagery of England. It is a Italian sonnet which is a love poem to England and the big idea. It has in fact 2 ideas: I the first two stanzas, it describes the physical of the country using imagery. In the third stanza, he shows more a spiritual and mental aspect of it: her heart, eternal mind, English heaven... Using personification. The poem is showing how proud Rupert Brooke was to die for England.

"O sir, my eyes — I'm blind — I'm blind, I'm blind!” The sentry is an important poem for many reasons. It highlights all the reactions to Bombing and the feeling they had when they had to leave people behind. War is a brutal nightmare. Wilfred Owen uses imagery so you could experience what happened during the war when the English were in the German trenches and got bombed.  He uses words like terrible, horrific and ghastly, he also uses alliteration, onomatopoeia and metaphors to truly show you what happened. Wilfred Owen explained the experiences by using other people’s experiences he added many people talking to his poem. In the poem the sentry Wilfred Owen uses different techniques to help you feel the experiences of Getting bombed that occurred during the war. 

Sharp with sharpness of the grief and death. Arms and the boy by Wilfred Owen is a powerful poem about soldiers in WW1. The main idea of the poem is that ' War is unnatural to humans'
The poem uses metaphors and imagery of sight and touch.The metaphor 'how cold steel is...hunger of blood' describes how the gun is like an animal hunting its pray. The imagery 'Blue with all malice, like madman's flash' show us how the gun is hungry for humans, referring the gun to an animal. 'Or give him cartridges of fine zinc teeth' tells us how the bullets are like the teeth biting through flesh and ripping and tearing it apart. 'Stroke these blind, blunt bullet-heads' describes how desperate they are to kill someone or something. Wilfred Owen uses lots of figurative  language like metaphors and imagery in detail to show us how war is unnatural.

Gas! Gas! Quick boys
The poem ' Dulce et Decorum est' by Wilfred Owen shows how disastrous the situations were for the soldiers during and after a gas attack in WW1.
The main idea of this poem is that dying for your country is not sweet,beautiful or proper 
A lot of figurative language serves this idea. It uses Imagery of sight through the whole poem to describe the gas attack: " Sim throughout the misty panes, and this green light, as under a green sea I saw him drowning. " and how hopeless were the soldiers that didn't put on or a second late, their gas masks.
 The 2 last verses " the old LIE: Dulce et decorum est por patria mori "  Por patria mori means  it is sweet and beautiful to die for your country. Wilfred Owen uses imagery of sight to truly let you experience the feeling of being in a gas attack


WW1 poetry shows us that the  brutality tragedy and horrors of WW1 is something that we should never forget
The poetry we read shows the  transformation of men from being happy and kind to being grey with dying eyes, how the bullets were like the teeth biting through flesh, ripping and tearing it apart. and how the soldiers were dragged down through the horrors of war,This is done through the poets awesome use of figurative language and imagery to show the brutality and tragedy ow WW1

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)



The Soldier

BY RUPERT BROOKE
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.

Spiritual 

Wednesday, January 20, 2016

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.
