Order To Reach Pop Culture
1,873 wordsA Powerful Use of Language in First They Slaughtered the Angels Who barbecues the lamb of god? (Kandel ll. 21) Who raped St. Mary with a plastic dildo stamped with the / Good Housekeeping seal of approval? (ll. 24 - 25) These statements taken out of the context of Lenore Kandel's First They Slaughtered the Angels sounds at the very least crude and by many sacrilegious.

Choice Of Words Word Choice
658 wordsSome readers may define the tone as anger in James Stephens A Glass of Beer. Others may even say that it leaves an unpleasant tone. By studying the choice of words that Stephen uses to convey the tone of his scene, I will demonstrate that beneath the seemingly outraged situation of the poem lies something funnier.
