A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by Stefany Moreno https://padlet.com/moreno_s7/2zjrhf999h8a en-us 2016-11-28 14:30:59 UTC 2025-11-24 03:01:43 UTC hello@padlet.com "All the filth of the world, all the offal and scum of the world, we are told, shall run there as to a vast reeking sewer when the terrible conflagration of the last day has purged the world. The brimstone, too, burns there in such prodigious quantity fills all hell with its intolerable stench; and the bodies of the damned themselves exhale such a pestilential odour that as Saint Bonaventure says, one of them alone would suffice to infect the whole world. The very air of this world, that pure element, becomes foul and unbreathable when it has been long enclosed... Imagine some foul and putrid corpse that has lain rotting and decomposing in the grave, a jellylike mass of liquid corruption. Imagine corpse a prey to flames, devoured by the fire of burning brimstone and giving off dense choking fumes of nauseous loathsome decomposition. And then imagine this sickening stench, multiplied a millionfold and a millionfold again from the millions upon millions of fetid carcasses massed together in the reeking darkness, a huge and rotting human fungus. Imagine all this and you will have some idea of the horror of the stench of hell " (Joyce 105- 106). moreno_s7 https://padlet.com/moreno_s7/2zjrhf999h8a/wish/140183829 2016-11-28 14:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/moreno_s7/2zjrhf999h8a/wish/140183829 What imagery does the author use, and to what senses do these appeal? moreno_s7 https://padlet.com/moreno_s7/2zjrhf999h8a/wish/140194538
The imagery used by Joyce here is visual and olfactory imagery which appeal to sight and smell.]]> 2016-11-28 15:00:00 UTC https://padlet.com/moreno_s7/2zjrhf999h8a/wish/140194538 What does he/she focus on in a sensory way? Is there one more than the others? moreno_s7 https://padlet.com/moreno_s7/2zjrhf999h8a/wish/140195231
Stephen focuses more on the foul stench of hell coming from the rotting corpses but he also focuses on the brimstone that burns and how the copses decompose in a jellylike way.]]> 2016-11-28 15:01:27 UTC https://padlet.com/moreno_s7/2zjrhf999h8a/wish/140195231 How do the kinds of images the author puts in or leaves out reflect his/her style? moreno_s7 https://padlet.com/moreno_s7/2zjrhf999h8a/wish/140394208
The images that Joyce puts in reflects his style because he says "The Brimstone, too, burns..." he uses Brimstone to compare the souls of the rotting corpses. He puts these words that are simple but have a lot of symbolism. ]]> 2016-11-29 03:07:21 UTC https://padlet.com/moreno_s7/2zjrhf999h8a/wish/140394208 Are the images vibrant? Prominent? Plain? moreno_s7 https://padlet.com/moreno_s7/2zjrhf999h8a/wish/140394243 Images that are prominent is the image of the corpse that is decomposing and Stephen describes it as a "jellylike mass of liquid corruption." The vibrant images are when he describes kind like a doomsday scenario where he says people even seek refuge in the sewers.]]> 2016-11-29 03:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/moreno_s7/2zjrhf999h8a/wish/140394243 Why did the author choose this particular image? moreno_s7 https://padlet.com/moreno_s7/2zjrhf999h8a/wish/140394296 I think Joyce chose this image because he wanted us to see what Stephens kind of hell is really like.]]> 2016-11-29 03:08:09 UTC https://padlet.com/moreno_s7/2zjrhf999h8a/wish/140394296 What sound devices (alliteration, assonance, consonance, repetition) does the author use, and what effect do these have on meaning? moreno_s7 https://padlet.com/moreno_s7/2zjrhf999h8a/wish/140394330 Joyce uses a lot of repetition of burning souls, corpses and flames to emphasize on the guilt and regret that Stephen really feels.]]> 2016-11-29 03:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/moreno_s7/2zjrhf999h8a/wish/140394330 How does this image affect this piece of literature? moreno_s7 https://padlet.com/moreno_s7/2zjrhf999h8a/wish/140693570 This image affects this piece of literature because Joyce uses this as an advantage to really emphasize on what Stephen is feeling.]]> 2016-11-30 00:36:54 UTC https://padlet.com/moreno_s7/2zjrhf999h8a/wish/140693570
