Hatred. A feeling that can destroy what we have and take what we love. We all are victims of Hatred’s sinister claws and razor sharp teeth, pulling us into its depths of decay. With all of the bias and effects that Hatred brings to us, sometimes we cannot help but give back what we have gotten. King’s novel, “Carrie,” and xxxDejixxx’s poem, “Treat others the way you want to be treated,” indicate that you reap what you sow. Both King and xxxDejixxx are illustrating that you get what you earn. On page 147 of “Carrie,” the text says, “She was grinning. I never saw such a grin. It was like death’s hand. And she kept looking at her hands and trying to rub the blood off and [thinking] how she was going to pour blood on the whole town and make them pay.” The meaning of this quote is simple- Carrie believes that all of the people who caused her pain in the past years should have to feel the same way they made her feel. As an addition, the book says, “It was time to teach them a lesson. Time to show them a thing or two,” on page 151. This quote practically explains itself: Carrie felt she had enough experience with anguish, and she wanted to show her peers what …show more content…
Firstly, the narrator says, “I thought it was hell,” on line 9 as an example of a metaphor. She is comparing how he/she felt when they were being treated badly to hell. Next, the author was very malleable with her grammar. On lines 4, 5, 10, and 11, xxxDejixxx says words like, “im,” “too,” “i,” and “wernt.” This emphasizes the freeform arrangement that the author was going for. As an addition, xxxDjixxx is fond of rhyming. The rhyme scheme is ABCDEFEGHIEJKLM. The commonly repeated end sound is ‘e,’ and xxxDejixxx rhymes the words “sorry,” “me,” and “be.” This poetry method helps the poem to flow much more smoothly. Accordingly, xxxDejixxx applies many different literary devices to complete the poem “Treat others that way you want to be
“Maybe it was / because the only time / I hit a baseball / it smashed the neon cross / on the church across / the street” (1-6). The readers are clearly presented with a scene of a boy playing baseball and accidentally breaking a church cross. The boy then explores and toys with the possible divine consequences for accidentally breaking a cross with a baseball. “Maybe it was the demon-stoked / rotisseries of purgatory / where we would roast / hundreds of years / for the smallest of sins” (11-15). Here the poet effectively uses imagery to show the reader how a child’s imagination may perceive hell. This may also show the impressionability of the Church on a freethinking child and how the combination can be profound on a young boy with internal conflicts. This can also apply to children’s fantasies and their carefree attitudes which allows them to blend what mindsets they were forced into with that of their

Iago throughout the book uses manipulative language to convince characters throughout scenes. However he doesn’t fail, from the beginning he has a well thought out plan, he manipulates people and he has complete lack of empathy which gives him the perfect traits for being a villain. A perfect villain in my definition is someone who can plan out a villainous act and act it out without failure. Iago has achieved this and so I consider him a perfect villain. Although Iago has a few flaws acting out his plan he achieves his goal to an extent in an evil and villainous way such as the failure of murdering of Cassio and his being tortured.
The statement peace is better than revenge is perfect for the book the roll of thunder Hear me cry. There are so many times while you are reading this novel that things could of went completely different if they would of gotten revenge but instead did the right thing to solve problems. Page 116 of Roll Of Thunder Hear Me Cry states “when the words had been spoken i turned and fled crying into the back of the wagon, no day in my life had ever been as cruel as this one”. This quote represents mamas effort to solve problems. By making Cassie apologize even when she wasn't the main problem caused more peace than getting revenge.
Love is considered a wonderful connection between two people that brings happiness to many. Although without hate no one would realize how marvelous love truly is. Does this mean hate is more powerful than love throughout the world? Hate overpowers love because there may be so much love in this world, but with the tiniest bit of hate everything could be changed in a split second. Hate is an indestructible power that will demolish anything in its way, like it did in The Coffin Quilt, by Ann Rinaldi. Roseanna McCoy and Johnse Hatfield’s love was simply not powerful enough to defeat the hate that came along with the love.
In the novella of The Crucible by Arthur Miller vengeance is walking Salem in causing several conflicts throughout the Salem village. Many of the conflicts are due with getting back at one another with the need for revenge. “We are what we always were in Salem, but now the little crazy children are jangling keys of the kingdom, and common vengeance writes the law!” (Miller 81). This quote is trying to prove the point the proctor has a very good understanding of what is happening in how the little girls are rebelling and acting out. They are accusing several women of being witches. “Why, Abigail Williams charge her” (Miller 77). The quote is trying to show how many of the girls are calling out the wives in the Salem village.
Mania is an excessive enthusiasm or desire, typically with a negative intention, and that is what Roger Chillingworth suffered from. Throughout the novel, he goes out of his way to make the life of Arthur Dimmesdale awful. He tortures Dimmesdale from the inside out, psychologically outsmarting him at every turn. Chillingworth claims that Hester is the reason he has acted so awfully, but it is not common for others to agree with him. In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Chillingworth’s deep desire for revenge is understandable, as he was a decent person before he found out about the affair, but then turned into a maniac in his quest to exact revenge on Dimmesdale.
The theme of hypocrisy is evident throughout The Scarlet Letter, as seen in Hawthorne’s characterization of society, Roger Chillingworth, and most prominently, Arthur Dimmesdale.
Martin Luther King Jr. declared, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that” ( citation ) . Many people feel as Mr. King did, that love can fight hate, and ultimately love is the answer, the fixer, to this figurative darkness. The word’s love and hate express a strong and perhaps intense feeling for something or someone. However, these intense emotions are commonly used in opposition of each other. It is crucial, though, to note that these powerful emotions can easily cross lines and become blurred. Evidence of this claim is supported by Rempel and Burris’ “...Integrative Theory of Love and Hate,” which outlines what it means to love and what it means to hate, and how humans
When an emotion is believed to embody all that brings bliss, serenity, effervescence, and even benevolence, although one may believe its encompassing nature to allow for generalizations and existence virtually everywhere, surprisingly, directly outside the area love covers lies the very antithesis of love: hate, which in all its forms, has the potential to bring pain and destruction. Is it not for this very reason, this confusion, that suicide bombings and other acts of violence and devastation are committed in the name of love? In Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon, the reader experiences this tenuity that is the line separating love and hate in many different forms and on many different levelsto the extent that the line between the two begins to blur and become indistinguishable. Seen through Ruth's incestuous love, Milkman and Hagar's relationship, and Guitar's love for African-Americans, if love causes destruction, that emotion is not true love; in essence, such destructive qualities of "love" only transpire when the illusion of love is discovered and reality characterizes the emotion to be a parasite of love, such as obsession or infatuation, something that resembles love but merely inflicts pain on the lover.
“…we are uncharitable to ourselves; every man is his (own) greatest enemy, and as it were, his own executioner.” Sir Thomas Brown in Religion Medici. To me this analogue reminds me of how teenage girls and boys act. Hormonal, confused adolescents are mean to each other to gain popularity, however they are being mean to themselves by acting as someone they are not and losing their true friends. In other words, people’s inner enemy and hatred is hurting the people around them, which is losing the innocence and good inside someone. One’s inner enemy is caused by their sins and jealousy for another’s possessions and personality. Having jealousy for another person destroys the true love and friendship for the so-called enemy. The inner enemy
In my fourth and final meeting for book club, my group and I have read the whole novel of Shattered. And when our roles were shared, I learned new things about the novel such as why the novel is called Shattered as well as a connection between the main character Ian to myself. To begin, I obtained knowledge of the reason to why the novel has the name Shattered. Evidence to support from the novel is when Jacques says “You see those shards of glass? He said, pointing to the jagged pieces of the bottle on the ground. Do you think you can put them together again? Do you think anything or anybody could ever make it whole again? Well, do you? It’s not just broken, it’s shattered into a million pieces and it can never be put back together again. Never.
Hatred, by Gwendolyn Bennett, is a dark, disturbing poem of her overwhelming hatred focused on racist individuals. She uses multiple metaphoric devices to draw connections to racial inequality and is constantly criticized by racist for her push for equality. “I shall hate you. Like a dart of singing steel.” (Bennett 1-2) refers to the entire resisting group of human equality.
Hatred provokes many individuals to transform into hideous versions of themselves. Their actions, fueled by this hatred may be demonstrated negatively or positively in society. Authors Samira Ahmed in Love, Hate & Other Filters and Angie Thomas in The Hate U Give, elaborate on this central idea. In Love, Hate & Other Filters, Maya, the protagonist, learns to cope with the discrimination she faces in order to move forward with her life. In The Hate U Give, Starr, the main character, discovers how to use the racism she endures to her benefit.
