Repetition emphasizes various parts of the theme which helps the reader understand what the author is trying to get them to take away from the text. Character’s speech shows the reader why a person does what they do or what they believe is the right thing to do. If Hitler never came to the people and told them that he had the solution to their problems. Then a lot of people wouldn’t have suffered from the accusations Hitler said about them. But since Hitler used the different minorities as scapegoats, he was able to gain more power, cause the Holocaust, and start World War 2 and people were able to learn, when others blindly follow someone they can lose sight of what's right and feel great regret.

One way that it fits into the book is how the journey that Gilgamesh takes and how it contributes to his wisdom and longevity. Many of the characters take journeys to different places that help them discover new things about themselves. The beauty of the journey in this book is when Gilgamesh sets out to look for the plant that will allow him to retain his youth. Gilgamesh insist on staying young and avoiding death but fails to do so every time. The reader is faced with seeing the beauty in the persistence and the will to live forever.

Elie Wiesel Elie Wiesel is the author of widely read Nobel Peace Prize novel, Night. The novel is not only a widely read Nobel Peace Prize But also widely taught because of the extensive amount of subtext that helps create the meaning of this novel. There are several types of rhetoric that Elie uses to create this subtext, including tone, organization, and repetition. With these rhetorical devices, repetition is the most effective to create his meaning in two of his speeches called “Elie Wiesel's Acceptance Speech for the Nobel Peace Prize,” and “A God Who Remembers.” Elie Wiesel gives the audience a certain tone to manipulate the audience emotions.

The Epic of Gilgamesh is a poem that was told over 4000 years ago. The Gilgamesh version was translated and divided into eleven chapters. The earliest story was written to help readers understand the tone in the story. The text makes the reader feel afraid. The author also sets the tone by incorporating dream sequences into the plot in tablet four.

Most of us think of a metaphor as a device used in poems only, and that it has no connection with our daily life. However, we use metaphors in our daily life and It’s difficult to avoid them. Metaphors are sometimes constructed through our common language. For instance, calling a person a boiling mad or saying “His kisses are like roses,” are common types of metaphors used in our surroundings.

How family will always be there for young adults through hard changing times. Such as death of a loved one because of age or sickness. Or even for people who have family overseas serving for their country and need comfort while they are gone. While reading, teens will be able to comprehend the comfort and availability of very close relationships, such as Byron was for Kenny, or even close friends. This shows that students should read this novel because it will insinuate that it is necessary for them to rely and forge a stronger relationship with friends and

The most noticeable way she applies repetition is when she mentions “England for the first time” in the first sentence of each paragraph other than the conclusion. Kincaid cannot escape the reality of the English influence that governs her life, therefore she traps the reader in her world starting in the beginning of each paragraph. Also, she explains how everything in her life is “made in England”. Everything from the objects she utilizes in everyday activities and various aspects of life is marked with “made in England”. Antigua is even considered “made in England” because it is essentially a copy of a British city.

When someone is alive people do not see the value of life and how precious it is, they do not realize it until it is too late. Many people would not notice such a small moment like this in their lives and would take it for granted. However, the characters seen in the novel treasure every moment similar to how they treasure life. They are able to see the value of life and how each person 's struggles has helped them heal. People are able to see that the obstacles an individual faces, which leads them to survival.

Using repetition and duality is a great way to express people’s feelings and reactions. The authors of the Epic of Gilgamesh used repetition to emphasize their viewpoint in showing that Gilgamesh was a powerful king. Duality meant to better illustrate points about Gilgamesh, and to catch the reader’s attention. Dualities gave a good picture of Gilgamesh and life in Uruk, and this picture was better when these dualities were repeated, because that made Gilgamesh 's personality brighten up. Although immortality and power were not big themes in the epic, the use of repeated dualities by different characters emphasizes the importance of power and immortality.

Myths are traditional stories that address the various ways of living and being. The well-known myth of Gilgamesh has been cited in many sources as one of the first stories in our recorded human history originating from Mesopotamia, Iraq today, though some maintain it was not just a fairytale but was based on some elements of truth. Only a few tablets have survived from the original Sumerian texts dating back to 2000 BC and written in cuneiform language. The Babylonian version is, however, two thirds complete and dates back to 13th to 10th century BC. Some of the best copies weren’t discovered until the 7 th century in the library ruins of the Assyrian king, Ashurbanipal.

Literary devices are used to bridge the gaps and fill in the cracks for me where simple words do not suffice in some stories. I find myself constantly searching stories for and identifying different types of literary devices. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, three uses of literary devices were demonstrated and used consistently. These literary devices are: repetition, imagery and flashbacks. This literary narrative is centered on an epic journey that utilizes literary devices to enhance the complexity and understanding in the story.

The Epic of Gilgamesh is an example of a piece of literature that uses symbolism frequently. For example, it uses “garden” meaning paradise and even refers to The Garden of Eden. In the Epic of Gilgamesh by anonymous, the symbols cedar meaning immortality, mountains which represents proximity to the gods, and gates and portals symbolizing a passage to the unknown are very important within the epic itself. Cedar within the epic does not only mean a tree, but has a deeper definition as well. Cedar can often represent immortality because it doesn’t decay and it is very hard to break.

The Epic of Gilgamesh combines different elements that were appropriate during its timeframe, and even though it is one of the first attempts at a complex poem, it does a great job at covering these fundamental elements that were essential to this time frame. After a comprehensive analysis, the poem seems highlight morality in an optimistic note through various funnels, such as through adventure, culture, relationships, intertwining religions, and so much more. Through the combination of these elements, and through comparison with Enkidu, this poem displays positive and negative issues that come with being a complex creature that is still relevant to contemporary society, even if the main characters are super beings.
