hey
can someone who did 'the lieutenant' give me with another idea for my prompt 'conflict creates a stronger relationship' ?
Which ideas have you explored already? And which relationships do you think you could talk about in the text? Obviously Rooke's dynamic with the other characters is worth talking about, but you could also examine the relationships between groups (eg. the white settlers and the indigenous people).
But I'd recommend going for the
ideas first, and then zooming in to find textual evidence afterwards ie. once you've already got a good sense of what you want to convey in that paragraph.
Heeeeelp.
What's the difference between anaphora and repetition??? Can you say anaphora is a language technique? Can someone give me an example of anaphora and how to use the word in a sentence?
Repetition is the recurrence of a word, phrase, technique, or idea throughout a text.
Anaphora can be one or two things:
1. Grammatically, it's when the author uses a pronoun as a replacement for a noun.
For instance:
'
The Prime Minister has said that
he doesn't want to invade the arctic tundra.'
- '
The Prime Minister' = Noun (technically Proper Noun, but whatevs)
- '
he' = Pronoun
This is in contrast to cataphora, which is where the pronoun comes before the noun
'Following
her recent interview in which
she revealed that she hated puppies,
the Vice Chancellor resigned in disgrace.'
It's basically a natural thing for English speakers to do, since otherwise you end up with sentences like:
'The Prime Minister has said that the Prime Minister doesn't want to invade the arctic tundra'
and
'Following the Vice Chancellor's recent interview in which the Vice Chancellor revealed that she hated puppies, the Vice Chancellor resigned in disgrace.'
So.. in a way... anaphora is a way for the author to
avoid repetition by changing the phrasing around and assigning meaning to certain pronouns.
...but...
2. It also refers to repetition that occurs at the start of successive sentences.
For instance:
'
I can't believe that I only scored a 19/20 on my last SAC.
I can't believe my teacher could be so stupid.
I can't believe I'm anything less than 100% perfect. And
I can't believe that she wouldn't give me the extra mark when I begged on my hands and knees.'
In terms of its effect, it's quite similar to repetition, only calling it 'anaphora' when you see it can be a nice way to show off, and it allows you to comment on the way the author might want to create a link between those sentences.
eg.
'
There's no justice for
the teachers who have been fired. There's no justice for these
innocent victims. There's no justice for
good, honest people who are just trying to make the world a better place.'
^So in the above, I'm trying to make you view the teachers as innocent victims and good honest people, and the anaphora is helping me accomplish this be creating that rhetorical link in the phraseology.
In a sentence, you'd refer to it like you would any other technique,
eg.
'The author draws attention to the injustice of the issue through her use of anaphora in the phrase "there is no justice" which is reiterated throughout the piece. Not only does this amplify the sense of unfairness, but it also aids the author in establishing a link between the "good, honest" teachers and the notion of "victim[hood]"'
Hope that helps!
