.... me “Poley�. I hated that nickname, because when I was younger I had a lower self-esteem, and by them calling me “Poley� it got even lower. It wasn’t my fault how I looked, therefore it embarrassed me tremendously. People such as myself are insulted by nicknames. I have a friend who became known as “Brute�, because she was tough and always got into fights with boys and girls. She was extremely insulted by the name, because she was just trying to stick up for herself. People who are overweight tend to develop nicknames such as fatty, or chunky, and to have a nickname for something that some people aren’t able to control is insulting .....

.... a metaphor that has lost it's effect on the reader due to the fact that it is used too frequently in Modern English. Another way that a metaphor can lose it's effect on the reader is when it is manipulated by the author and twisted out of context. For example, in another article, Randall Denley, speaks of the unions and their "kangaroo courts", a metaphor that is commonly used without any knowledge of it's meaning. In another article, metaphors like "His voice thunders..." and "...taken the theater scene by storm" are too frequently used just because the author lacks the imagination to make one up for himself, a common problem in Modern Eng .....

.... look noble to the commoners. Casca said, "Why there was a crown offered to him;...people fell a-shouting" (I,ii,221-223). Next, To show how noble and great Caesar was, the Romans would stand along the street sides to watch him pass by. "Madam not yet, I go to take my stand; /To see him pass on to the Capitol," said the soothsayer (II,iv,25-26). Finally, Caesar had the greatest rank possible as he would have been crowned king if it wasn’t for the conspiracy’s plot.

.... and honorable acts of chivalry, when they were only two fools running around the countryside. Cervantes tries to make his book more interesting with the use of point of view. Don Quixote sees what his mind and imagination create, not that which is transferred through the optic nerves in a very clean-cut scientific manner. He retreats to a world that holds meaning for him. When he first departs, he stops at an inn and his eyes make it a beautiful castle with blushing maids and noble sirs. The wench Aldonza is turned into Dulcinea, his one true love, who he swears by in his battles and contemplates when he is idle. Another example of his point-of-vie .....

.... stands up to interpret Apollo’s wrath, Achilles is quick to swear that he will protect him even if Agamemnon is the problem, “who now claims to be far the greatest of all the Achains� (1. 91). Immediately the two most powerful kings are set in opposition and by using the word claims, Achilles implies that he himself is the greatest Achian, not Agamemnon. To punish Achilles, Agamemnon takes away his prize, Briseis, and makes an example of Achilles so that, “another man may shrink back/ from likening himself to me and contending against me� ( 1. 186-7). At this point Achilles’ heart is filled with menis (divine anger or wrath), and h .....

.... failed attempts of communication is because he won't allow people to express themselves as they are. He automatically assumes that they are "phony" because of their first impression towards him.
