Sight- as he describes the appearance of hell in vivid detail
Smell- describe a rotten forest with human excrement
Touch- as he describes the torture faced in hell
Taste- as he describes the forbidden fruit which caused the fall of Eve]]> 2016-11-28 14:33:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_j53/xo9ptg4hkqaf/wish/140182322 What does he/she focus on in a sensory way? Is there one more than the others? ortiz_j53 https://padlet.com/ortiz_j53/xo9ptg4hkqaf/wish/140182428 Joyce focuses much more on he sense of touch as he describes hell as being the worst torture a soul could possibly endure. He describes that the soul cannot even get close to experiencing a pain similar in the mortal world.]]> 2016-11-28 14:33:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_j53/xo9ptg4hkqaf/wish/140182428 How do the kinds of images the author puts in or leaves out reflect his/her style? ortiz_j53 https://padlet.com/ortiz_j53/xo9ptg4hkqaf/wish/140182520 The images that Joyce puts in reflects his style of writing while the way that Stephen reacts furthers the progression of the actual life story being told. The entire description of hell was used to show the fear faced by Stephen but his reaction thereafter shows the path he decides to take. Joyce's writing style is unique in the fact that his books function as the human mind thinks and his description of hell shows that because as he proposes an idea, he leads up to another leading to very well flowing paragraphs.]]> 2016-11-28 14:33:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_j53/xo9ptg4hkqaf/wish/140182520 Are the images vibrant? Prominent? Plain? ortiz_j53 https://padlet.com/ortiz_j53/xo9ptg4hkqaf/wish/140182649 The images of touch and smell are both very prominent but the sense of touch in my opinion is used more effectively. The images are also very repetitive, not only for emphasis but because the torture of a single aspect of hell cannot be accurately described in a few lines and therefore it seems that Joyce decides to dedicate an entire section to it.]]> 2016-11-28 14:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_j53/xo9ptg4hkqaf/wish/140182649 Why did the author choose this particular image? ortiz_j53 https://padlet.com/ortiz_j53/xo9ptg4hkqaf/wish/140182705 Joyce chose this particular image of a mountain being thrown into the ocean of hell because a few lines before he says, "the lake of fire in hell is boundless, shoreless, and bottomless". By adding the example of a mountain, Joyce shows his audience the magnitude of the suffering that would be faced by the damned. He ultimately uses this to put in perspective the agony which would be faced.]]> 2016-11-28 14:33:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_j53/xo9ptg4hkqaf/wish/140182705 What sound devices (alliteration, assonance, consonance, repetition) does the author use, and what effect do these have on meaning? ortiz_j53 https://padlet.com/ortiz_j53/xo9ptg4hkqaf/wish/140182786 Joyce uses various similes and metaphors in simple descriptions in order to put things in perspective. He also uses repetition in order o further appeal to the senses which are already being stimulated by the vivid descriptions of hell. The narrator's consonance of opinions with Stephen in regards of viewing hell gives the reading a sense of greater depth of the book overall.]]> 2016-11-28 14:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_j53/xo9ptg4hkqaf/wish/140182786 How does this image affect this piece of literature? ortiz_j53 https://padlet.com/ortiz_j53/xo9ptg4hkqaf/wish/140182852 This image adds to the literature overall because as Joyce describes hell, the reaction of Stephen is the main focus. Meaning that Joyce wrote that description in order to show how Stephen would reaction o the realization of the suffering and agony which would be faced if his soul would end up in the torture of hell.]]> 2016-11-28 14:34:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_j53/xo9ptg4hkqaf/wish/140182852 Page 107 TOUCH ortiz_j53 https://padlet.com/ortiz_j53/xo9ptg4hkqaf/wish/140188537 Our Earthly fire again, no matterhow fierce or widespread it may be, is always of a limit extent... if a whole mountain were throw into the burning ocean of hellit would be burned up in an instant like a piece of wax".]]> 2016-11-28 14:46:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_j53/xo9ptg4hkqaf/wish/140188537 Thesis ortiz_j53 https://padlet.com/ortiz_j53/xo9ptg4hkqaf/wish/140198527 An initial reading of this selection of Portrait suggests that the text focuses on the consequences of Stephen’s sins and that the author is concerned with accurately portraying the suffering faced in hell; however, whereas Joyce portrays the world as filled with sin, the text reveals a heightened sense of fear for the afterlife because Stephen feels his soul is damned to spend all of eternity in the torment of hell.]]> 2016-11-28 15:08:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_j53/xo9ptg4hkqaf/wish/140198527
