It is also later revealed that the three alien toys were the ones that saved them. This depicts the concept of Deus Ex Machina where a particular part in a story where it may seem unsolvable, but intervened by an unexpected event.]]> 2022-09-09 07:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/msmaureensicat/hkl97313l597rsiq/wish/2289311527 Isaiah Mari Reyes (Diabolus Ex Machina) https://padlet.com/msmaureensicat/hkl97313l597rsiq/wish/2291596266 In this scene the heroes are trying to rescue one of the students that have been kidnaped. But suddenly several "nomu" (artificial humans or experiments) and an unknown individual appears. The two heroes tried to fight back on this individual. But the unknown individual wipes out the two heroes in an instant. It has been discovered that this individual is all for one. (the nomu's are shown if it's the full episode this is just the appearance of all for one). Anyway i wanted to go for something a little different because when I chose this I had the same role with somebody else which was "deus ex machina". So I went with the opposite and that is diabolus ex machina.  It's designed to ensure that things suddenly get much worse for the protagonists like some sort of challenge they have to get through.]]> 2022-09-12 02:14:30 UTC https://padlet.com/msmaureensicat/hkl97313l597rsiq/wish/2291596266 Tati (Ad Hominem) https://padlet.com/msmaureensicat/hkl97313l597rsiq/wish/2291598360 In a particular previous public address of former Pres. Duterte, he stated that the reason why Atty. Diokno failed to win was because of his 'teeth' and not because of the lack of votes and trust in his competency. This is an example of an ad hominem statement; Instead of stating an argument objectively appropriate on a given matter, the opposing person's self and innate characteristics are being criticized. Generally, statements utilizing this literary device are irrational and are considered a 'logical fallacy' since their points are insignificant to the real grounds of the happening.]]> 2022-09-12 02:17:03 UTC https://padlet.com/msmaureensicat/hkl97313l597rsiq/wish/2291598360 Narcelles, Allusion https://padlet.com/msmaureensicat/hkl97313l597rsiq/wish/2291601017 "He who must not be named." (Harry Potter, referring to Voldemort)
I can't find a clip where it only says "he who must not be named" or something like "don't mention his name" except in the first part of this clip, around 0:30 and 1:00 marks.]]> 2022-09-12 02:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/msmaureensicat/hkl97313l597rsiq/wish/2291601017 Pultam (Foil) https://padlet.com/msmaureensicat/hkl97313l597rsiq/wish/2291613574 This was a scene from GOT S1 E05 wherein the King and his council (Foil characters) learns about the pregnancy of Daenerys–who they believe is the true heir of the Iron Throne– and they want to assassinate both the mother and the child to prevent them from declaring war over sovereignty. Ned Stark, Hand of the King, wants no part of the planned murder. He exemplified honour and righteousness, and the council & the King highlighted these traits by opposing his moral views. ]]> 2022-09-12 02:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/msmaureensicat/hkl97313l597rsiq/wish/2291613574 Justine Francisco Porras (Ex Deus Machina) https://padlet.com/msmaureensicat/hkl97313l597rsiq/wish/2291624859 In this video, you will see Lucian and Senna (champions in League of Legends), talking about where they should go (this is after Senna escaped from Thresh' lantern). All of a sudden Isolde(Soul fragment in Senna) warned Senna that the mist is coming signifying Viego's arrival. Viego rushes to Senna in order to take back his queen's fragmented soul. Once ruler of a long-lost kingdom, Viego perished over a thousand years ago when his attempt to bring his wife back from the dead triggered the magical catastrophe known as the Ruination. Viego is called the " Ruined King " because he was so emotionally ruined when Isolde was killed, which caused him to trigger the Ruination.]]> 2022-09-12 02:49:03 UTC https://padlet.com/msmaureensicat/hkl97313l597rsiq/wish/2291624859 Kenji Quibote (Deus Ex Machina) https://padlet.com/msmaureensicat/hkl97313l597rsiq/wish/2291625066 In this scene after the death of their ruler Azir the people of shurima lost their purpose and they began to fight each other, Some ascended(refers to all humans who were magically altered by a variety of magic) turned into darkins (God-Warriors) because of the trauma they experienced in the war.

The chorus of the song entitled "Simula" by Munimuni is an example of this adage. The adage states that any discomfort or unpleasantness is compensated for by a joyous outcome. The lyrics of the chorus are as follows:

Darating ang araw na
Kakalimutan din natin
Ang lahat
Tatawanan din natin
Ang lahat  

Adages are general truths, and as such, they are mere facts, but presented in a wide range of possibilities from straightforward to a rather poetic and flowery manner.

The parts of this clip relevant to my chosen literary device begins at the 1:58 mark. As the Old shopkeeper is driving away a homeless man in front of his store, a lady asks the old shopkeeper “What has he ever done to you?”. This is because of the shopkeeper’s and homeless man's previous interactions, which are largely just the shopkeeper expressing hostility towards the homeless man and driving him away. As the shopkeeper raises the shutters to a new day, he is visibly surprised to see that the homeless man is absent from his usual spot in front of the store. The shopkeeper from the neighboring store then remarks “He is long gone”. The old man is thinking when he remembers a CCTV camera overlooking the storefront. As he reviews the footage of his previous interactions with the homeless man, he also discovers clips of the homeless man driving away vandals and drunks, and receiving food from the lady who had asked him a critical question earlier. At this point, the old man is visibly upset and is reflecting on his actions when he sees a clip of the homeless man confronting two helmet-clad men attempting to break into the bookstore. When he knocks down one of the would-be burglars, the other pulls out a switchblade and manages to stab the homeless man in the abdomen. The homeless man stumbles onto the closed shutters of the bookstore as the two burglars scramble. As hits in the abdomen are usually fatal, the homeless man is implied to have bled out from his injuries. It then cut to the old man, sitting in front of his monitor, in tears about what he has watched and his decisions prior.]]> 2022-09-12 04:11:50 UTC https://padlet.com/msmaureensicat/hkl97313l597rsiq/wish/2291689421 Tort, Synesthesia, Disco Elysium https://padlet.com/msmaureensicat/hkl97313l597rsiq/wish/2293792998 Sorry for a second example but I think this one fits better for the literary device. The paragraph being narrated by Shivers, a skill in the game that functions as the "spirit of the city" sets a scene that can be felt and imagined. The way the lights of the district is described as pearls is a very vivid and unique. ]]> 2022-09-13 07:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/msmaureensicat/hkl97313l597rsiq/wish/2293792998 Sasha Rebada (Allegory) https://padlet.com/msmaureensicat/hkl97313l597rsiq/wish/2293806177 https://manybooks.net/titles/rizaljos2022820228-8.html 

An allegory is a literary device that can be used to reveal hidden meanings, symbolisms or agendas a writer or artist has put into their works that may have been initially seen as inoffensive or amusing.

The entire story of Noli Me Tangere is an allegory of how the Spaniards treated Filipinos while highlighting the positives of FIlipino people, with the characters representing different parts of history, characteristics and such.

Soliloquy is an act of speaking one's thoughts aloud, a monologue addressed to oneself, regardless of any hearers, especially by a character in a play. Soliloquies are used as a device in drama to let a character make their thoughts known to the audience. "How far I'll go" is a song from the film, Moana. In the song, Moana is trying to decide whether she should leave the island or stay on the island, asking herself, "How far I'll go?" As such, this is an example of a soliloquy. ]]> 2022-09-13 07:57:28 UTC https://padlet.com/msmaureensicat/hkl97313l597rsiq/wish/2293837942 kitamura (Deus Ex Machina) https://padlet.com/msmaureensicat/hkl97313l597rsiq/wish/2304281044 In this scene Dre beats Master Li's students, causing Li to order one of his students named Liang, Dre's semi-final opponent, to injure Dre. Liang Master Li's member purposefully uses his elbow to badly injure his leg so Dre could no longer fight for the finals. After the incident 
Mr. Han tried to convince Dre to not fight anymore but Dre insisted after that Mr. Han then agreed and on the last clip I can't find the video but Mr. Han helped on healing Dre's injury using Ancient Chinese medicine method of fire cupping to kind of help on the swollen injury since Dre still wanted to fight. In the end on the final fight even though Liang Dre's enemy kicked the injury Dre stood up and still continued the fight in the end Dre won the tournament.]]> 2022-09-20 05:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/msmaureensicat/hkl97313l597rsiq/wish/2304281044
