Amount Of Contradiction Language Amount Of Contradiction Passage
462 words
Unseen text-King Lear (The passage is taken from
Act 5, scene 3 and only Lear speaks throughout)
The thing I find most interesting about the
language used in this passage, is the dream like
image it creates. I think the amount of
contradiction language, used in the passage is

first language point that grabbed my attention
about this passage is that it seems to contain
lots of soft sounding words like ebb, flow and
pray, which in tandem with the fact...

small avalanches. And as the sharp sun struck day
after day, the leaves of the young corn became
less stiff and erect; they bent in a curve at
first, and then, as the central ribs of strength

A Unique Personification - Emily Dickinson, Poem #
712 For generations children have been taught to
