In scene 1 of “Harmonia”, the setting and characters are introduced. It is 1957 in Indiana where a Young farm girl named Diana and her uncle are struggling over issues regarding a death of a loved one and the minuscule amount of crops that Diana harvested. Then, the story moves to introduce another character named Johnny Summer who is a local burgeoning musician and a affluent man affiliated to the railroad business named Mr. Roccafella. The introduction of Mr. Roccafella is very interesting in style in that many different rhetorical figures are used in order to vividly explain to readers about Mr. Roccafella and his personality. The use of repetition in many parts of the entry seems to emphasize the mechanical, almost automaton-like nature of Mr. Roccafella. His character is further developed with the utilization of rhetorical questions coupled with anaphora which helped to clearly portray his haughtiness and egotistical side. This is especially evident in the beginning of the entry when Roccafella reasons his motive for working on the railway. “Why does he do it? He doesn’t know… Who needs to use railroads?… at least that’s what he thought.” Another part that uses repetition is when the narrator speaks about Roccafella and how “He would tell the newspapers that based on his company’s opinion, these two towns needed a railroad most and would serve the most amount of people. He would call it “A service to the community! Practically charity!”[and that] [w]hat he wouldn’t tell the newspapers is that his two largest homes were located in these two towns, and he was getting sick of needing to drive one of his seven cars between them.” The usage of “he would” in each of the sentences and then following with a ‘what he wouldn’t’ expresses Roccafella’s real motives of why he does what he does. This helped readers delve deeper into the personality of Roccafella as being a mechanical and hard working man with some deceptive qualities. Being quite sardonic, nonchalant, and aggressive in tone, Roccafella’s dialect builds on his self-centered nature. The frequent change from first person to third person allows readers to have a “bird’s eye view” and a closer first person view of the situation in the story which gives readers a larger scope and vision about events and character development that would happen in later parts of the story.
