The novel demonstrated savagery as a part of human nature and that was the main reason why evilness occured in almost every boy on the island. Unfortunately Simon and Piggy did not even have the chance to go home again because they were killed by the savages. Both of them remained almost totally innocent during the novel and did not change so much and therefore if anyone had had the right to go home again then they would have had it undoubtably. It was sort of ironical that all the evil boys were able to go home and Piggy and Simon were not, but maybe author wanted to show how unfair life is and that is why good guys died, and other ones, in whom the survival instinct appeared more intensively, stayed alive. Although most of the boys were saved, they had changed so much that they actually returned to their homes as almost different persons, because turning into savages on the island left a mark on each of them
Larkin says that next year they are going to bring all the soldiers home, because they (citizens) want the money for them selves. And that their children do not know it's a different country, because they did not achieve anything in the war. But at least they can leave their children some money. I think that Larkin means that the troops are going to be brought home from Vietnam. At the end of almost every line in the first stanza is /And it is all right./ In his ironical way he is trying to say that the Vietnam War was pointless, because it did not bring any results. Another poem about the Vietnam War is ´´High Windows.´´ The poem was written is the 1960s during the sexual revolution. Partly due to that there were conflicts between the younger generation and an older, different generation. He says that older people are stuck in boundaries and that they have dreamed all their life
information till the very end of the sentence. This is achieved by either separating the subject from the predicate or by amassing the less important descriptive subordinate parts at the beginning of the sentence. Function is to make the reader active, to make him wait. 4) Syntactic structures used in a new function Rhetorical questions are used to emphasize the point. In public speeches they sound sarcastic, indignant. In colloquial speech they are ironical. The reader becomes active as if he himself came to certain conclusions. (Who can stop me?) Exclamatory sentences--sentence is used as an interjection to suggest strong emotion. (She was so happy!) 10. Graphical means and devices The outward shape of the printed page is of great importance. There are various types of prints and their interrelation. In poetry, the author attaches importance to stanza division, the arrangement of lines and the end of line
Most characters are real historical figures. Aaron Burr, who was vice president of the USA, under Thomas Jefferson. It was Burr who killed Alexander Hamilton on a duel in 1804. Hamilton was one of Washingtons assistants. Charles Schyler-Burr's biographer, law student, journalist. Washington is mentioned and Washington Irving, advises Schyler. Novel begins in the middle of the action 1833-announcing the marriage of Burr, who was then 77, to woman of 58. The narrator is very ironical. We learn that the author of this piece of news is Charles Schyler, he is the narrator of the novel, he is studying law under Burr. His narrative is to solve some of the confusion surrounding Burrs contraversial career. But as the novel progresses we have more and more reason to believe that Schyler isn't totally honest to the reader. This is one of the features of the historical novel. Burr's life is not presented in chronological order. Three
desks against the west wall and a third, broken, rested in the walk-in safe. In utter disregard of the regulations promulgated for the security of communications, the embassy had hired an elderly Negro janitor named Robert to dust and clean the code room and its supersecret furnishings each day. The code clerks did make some obeisance to the security regulations by not allowing him in the room unless some Japanese were in it. But the situation was, to say the least, ironical. While the Japanese Foreign Office was exercising almost superhuman security precautions and American cryptanalysts were suffering nervous breakdowns to solve the PURPLE machine, an American citizen was running his duster over tables on which stood the intricate machines that were the vortex of this silent struggle. But just as the Japanese seemed not to have given serious thought to the possibility of Robert's being a spy, so the Americans seemed to have
