That’s only if he signs the £35 a week contract due to it being an English league we do not want the game to revolve around English people as it may look racist to other ethnicities.

The world nowadays feels almost as if you have to be black, lesbian and Jewish. I as a white straight atheist male sometimes feel like I’m in the minority when in fact I am in the majority. Believing that a certain race or sexuality has to always be involved in any area of public life is racist and sexist, and an example of this is the Oscars Academy Awards. An actor named Charlotte Rampling rebelled against ‘#OscarsGoWhite’ by saying “Its racist to white people”, this is a perfect example of what i am trying to interpret as the fact that people believe that no black actors was nominated when in-fact black people may be a minority within the film industry and the ones that are just was unfortunately not good enough to make it through to the final nominees. Moreover, i believe if anything involves too much of the majority such as white people, straight people and Christians it is so called racist and against all other race’s, ethnic backgrounds,  interest in sexuality.

Quotes: ”Almost these mindless waters work, as though they had a soul.” This is a quote from the poem ‘A song in a storm’ By Rudyard Kipling, it represents the language device of personification as the sea is being described with features of a human or an animal. Rudyard does this by saying the waters work as if they had a soul, meaning the way the water is treating the ship as if its personal and the ship is an opponent to the water. However, water is not able to act like that as it does not include a soul or any other features of a human.

”Rage, rage against the dying of light.” This quote is from the poem ‘Do not go gentle into that good night’ By Dylan Thomas, it also represents the language device of personification as light cannot possible die as only animals and humans have the power of dying, this explains the use of the device of personification. Moreover, Dylan mentioning to rebel against the dying of light shows he wants to fight death as there no longer being light represents death as death is dark.

”To have so soone scap’d worlds, and fleshes rage.” This quote is from ‘On my first Sonne’ By Ben Johnson, this is another representation of personification as he is giving the world features of a human or animal such as being angry and having flesh.

Its about to go down. The Spartans are warming up and the arena is filling up. The opposition are warming up while suffering the verbal abuse from spectators. They do not have enough fans to take over the raging roar of the home crowd. The essence of the burger vans overpower the atmosphere as meaty burgers flip on the grill. Greasy chips cook in the fat. Once cooked being covered in salt and ketchup to fill up the hungry bellys of the fans as they are about to face a long tense 90 minutes of blood, sweat and tears.The turnstiles are spinning, ‘click,click,click’, as more and more reckless bodies pile through. The roar is getting louder. The atmosphere is becoming more intense by the second, the bookmakers are taking in large amounts of money, as well as the bar due to beers after beers being bought. The gladiators are going into the changing rooms showing no emotion what so ever. As they need to get ready for the hour and a half of broken bones, abusive chants from the 60,000 spectators attending and hopefully not as much blood shown as last time out. The boys in blue are on standby  as lots of violence is for certain to occur when the opposing fans approach the North Londoners. This is no ordinary game of football this is West London vs North London, winners vs runners up, history vs the future, red vs blue, this is it. As the players walk out the atmosphere goes from average to breathtaking and so the chants begin. The nervous blood running through the veins of 22 pocket filled soldiers on the pitch. Everyone’s in position the unfortunate referee checks his watch, 3 pm it is and we are under way.

The shocking scenes of last nights catastrophe is over, there is no one to be seen its so silent. Just sixty-thousand seats and 26 turnstiles. The rain must of turned red over night, the brutal winds must of swept everyone away and the vicious warriors have left no afters for the next opposing team.Such a huge venue yet you could probably hear a pin drop when suddenly, they come marching out to their truck “left right, left right” they shout, the ground is shaking but, is it an earthquake? NO! Its the 11 soldiers coming out on top with not a scratch on their face. Furthermore, here comes the other group not looking as strong as the first. Bandages around their craniums, scars on their chest and 5-6 of them getting a free ride home in the ambulance. The grills are still greasy however the vans are closed. Besides, they deserve the day off as they took in a fortune last night. As well as the bar maids and men as they had an extremely busy night drinks after drinks being pulled at the bar due to the high spirits of some very fired up fans not to mention the old bill releasing some unfortunate, angry, drunk and dis-orderly West London chaps with a very long journey home ahead of them and that will probably include some paracetamol to get rid of the repetitive banging in their head. The bookmakers are re-opening for the later Sunday games as they need to earn back what they gave out last night. Its quite in North London,  with a positive mood, meaning that the previous night has decided that London is RED.

Shakespeare within his play uses literary devices on characters facing forces such as love, death, fate which are all beyond their control. One main theme bringing the poems ‘Do not go gentle into that good night’ by Dylan Thomas, On My First Sonne by Ben Jonson and Hamlet the play by William Shakespeare, is death. Moreover, the poems are based on real life experiences involving lots of emotion.

Ben Jonson:

Acceptance, as shown in the metaphor that relates to lending. The sustained iambic meter further supports this.

Dylan Thomas:

Anger and denial, shown in the interruption of the iambic pentameter with the words “rage, rage”

Rudyard Kipling:

Courage against the inevitability of war (you have an example of the sea). The metre is also iambic without interruption.

William Shakespeare (Hamlet):

Equivocation, “To be or not to be” soliloquy. Metaphor: “Slings and arrows…” Iambic pentameter.

Within the soliloquy in Hamlet the play, act 3 scene 1 Shakespeare uses quotes such as ”To die–to sleep, No more; and by sleep to say  we end”
