"A hospital alone shows what war is."
This sentence lets the reader be witness of the war cruelty and its consequences regarding human casualties. While being at hospitals you become aware of the war atrocities. It helps us to reflect that any war leads societies to suffering from death and destruction. No matter what the victims' race, sex, origin or religion are, what should be really important is that human beings are being devastated for those acts of cruelty, despotism and barbarism.
This question seems to be deficient. However, there´s enough information to find the right answer.
Answer:
In my opinion, the Ancient Mariner's punishment was fair, and his fate was worse than the sailors'.
Explanation:
In The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1798), by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, assuming that the sailors' punishment was death, even though we are not certain about what final fate their souls had after that, their suffering could be thought of as less than the Ancient Mariner's, who is left alive but cursed with an awful fate.
Both the sailors and the Ancient Mariner are at fault for killing the bird that had saved them because the sailors praised him afterward. However, the main fault rests in the Ancient Mariner, who did the actual killing, and must carry the burden of being responsible for the death of his crewmembers.
Aristotle‘s ideas about drama were based on a generally Greek belief that tragedy was the highest form of drama. He said that tragedy is an imitation of an action that is serious. Moreover, he expected the drama to cause the feeling of the pity and fear that are to cause the catharsis – the purification of emotions. Thus, in Aristotelian perspective, tragedy tells about the high deeds or feeling of a man.
The mode of persuasion "ethos" appeals to beliefs or ideals of a community and also an authority figure's character or credibility to influence individuals through morals.
In the famous play "Julius Caesar", Mark Anthony changed the opinion of the Romans by making them hate Brutus and the conspirators using "ethos" to put their credibility on the spot with irony and sarcasm when he repeatedly calls them "Honorable Men"; on the other hand he praise Caesar's loyalty to him when he calls him "His faithful friend", making people empathize with his character.
The author used verbal irony. What he said was different from what he meant, as it obviously was far from the downpour he described.
