In both of these poems war and peace is a big thing.

In the poem Anthem for Doomed Youth by Wilfred Owen, he wants to tell readers that at war there is no peace. Owen states “What passing-bells for these who die as cattle? –Only the monstrous anger of the guns.” When fighting you don’t get the sweet church bells, or choir singing you get the anger of guns and ceremonies that can be insulting. Peace needs to be a bigger part in the war not just for the people but for the soldiers as well. They fight hard for there country and they deserve a proper burial. In my opinion, he succeeds in his poet by the words, the way the tone of the poem changes. From Owens poem you can get that being in a war isn’t simple it’s a tough battle, but to pay respect is honorable.

 

In the poem The war Words Hard by Dunya Mikhail you can see the imagery and tone throughout the poem. In her poem, she states “Early in the morning it wakes up the sirens and dispatches the ambulances to various places swings corpses through the air rolls stretchers to the wounded summons rain from the eyes of the mothers.” Throughout her poem, you can imagine what goes on throughout the war and the pain it causes. Mikhail has a strong poem that reaches the heart of the reader and changes their mindset. Her poem succeeds in my opinion. The fact that people who go to war is known for being honorable because risking your life for everyone and your country is an amazing thing. The world needs peace to be a better place for all.

In Julius Caesar my Logical fallacies focus on the tactics used to help Brutus find himself, it talks about how Cassius want Brutus to find himself, and live up to the potential he deserves. Cassius is trying to help Brutus find his way to become a leader. Brutus can’t see why the people would want him to be a leader, so Cassius is trying to bring Brutus to see what everyone else sees in him, and makes it a point to show Brutus how Caesar is thought of.

In Act 1, Scene 2, Cassius tells Brutus how much he would make a great leader, but Brutus doesn’t see it. Cassius is trying to get Brutus to recognize himself, and what good he can do for there fellow people. Unlike Caesar, Cassius thinks Brutus would do so much more for the people, and treat them with the respect they deserve.

The bandwagon was one of the fallacies that Cassius used, which was used in lines 74-80 stating “Were I a common laugher, or did use to stale with ordinary oaths my love to every new poster, if you know that I do fawn on men and hug them hard and, after, scandal them, or if you know that I profess myself in banqueting To all the rout, then hold me dangerous.” In this statement he basically states that everyone has worthless feelings in making the same friendship to everybody.

Another fallacy, the Ad Nauseum was used by Cassius. This fallacy Cassius stated “So well as by reflection, I, your glass, Will modestly discover to yourself that of yourself which you yet know not of.” Cassius is trying to get Brutus to see that he can treat the people better, and that he can do better than what Caesar has done. Cassius makes this point throughout most of Act 1, Scene 2.

The Ad Hominem Fallacy which Cassius used in lines 50-53 which states “Then, Brutus, I have much mistook your passion, by means whereof this breast of mine hath buried thought of great value, worthy cogitations. Tell me, good Brutus, can you see your face?” Cassius uses Brutus’s emotions to make an argument of how Brutus can see his potential, and live up to it.

Another Ad Hominem Fallacy was stated by Cassius in line 56-64 “Tis just and it is very much lamented, Brutus, that you have no such mirrors as will turn your hidden worthiness into your eye that you might see your shadow. I have heard where many of the best respect in Rome, except immortal Caesar, speaking of Brutus and groaning underneath this age’s yoke, have wished that noble Brutus has his eyes.” This fallacy is for Cassius to get Brutus to see his himself, and his worth.

Cassius uses an affective fallacy in lines 136-139 “Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world like a Colossus, and we petty men walk under his huge legs and peep about to find ourselves dishonorable graves.” Cassius uses this to show Brutus how much it would really mean for him to be a leader, and how important it is how Caesar thinks of his own kind.

The author has this sarcastic appeal to the other opinions and has a negative connotation. The author has shown his opinion with disagreement and is indirect but still has meaning. In the author’s “The Cyborgs Among Us”, he believes that technology is taking over lives by “finger magnets” that open car doors and headphones “permanently” implanted in ears. The authors perspective on the audience is that technology has a major effect on humans by losing intelligence and becoming lazy, etc. but the author hints out by some of the words used that it depends on the person you are to make ur humanity what it is.

Throughout Hawthorne’s life was struggles that he had to face either by himself or with his family. He came from a poor family but had a close relationship with his parents especially his mother. Hawthorne’s family had to scrape enough money for him to go to college. After his college years, he came back home to start his writing journey. He did not follow his father’s footstep and felt guilt from that but Hawthorne’s father died at sea so he decided to do his own thing which was writing. Hawthorne’s family was hard working and supportive of his beliefs, that meant he could do something to make a change. His writing entertained others making the stories that were about his family. I think his vocabulary is strong and incredible because of his fascination with writing and he came a long way to be where he is today.

In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, he expresses the theme of frustration and guilt throughout the story. Hawthorne presents the idea of frustration through Pearl with her emotions expressed, just like the movie Inside Out the girl expresses her emotions of frustration through anger, sadness, and fear. She also expresses her happy moments with her family. In The Scarlet Letter, Pearl expressed her frustrations through tantrums and crying. The character Mr.Dimmesdale goes through guilt if being a sinner and keeping a secret just like in Beauty and The Beast,  the character Belle was guilty of falling in love with the Beast.

In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, there are many grammatical styles. Hawthorne is known for stereotype characters and moral ambiguity in his book. The language Hawthorne uses in this book is frustration and has empathy for those who have struggles to face and fears that haunt them. In one of Hawthorne’s chapter, the character Mr.Dimmesdale has fears that are tremulous. To come to find out in the end Mr.Dimmesdale was dying. Anther Character was Pearl a “child born amiss” Pearl has so many things about her. She had various emotions and feelings.

My thoughts on the different levels of listening are that we listen to hear, listen to speak, and listen to understand. There are so many ways we listen to ourselves and others for example internal listening which is listening to our inner voices, or focused listening which would be listening to our fellow peers, and global listening, which is our surrounding. At lunch we use global listening because there is so many conversations around us and so many people in one area talking about many thing. We all listen differently in our own ways. If we can learn to truly listen to others and ourselves then we can grow.
