Odysseus And Aeneas
436 Words - 2 Pages

.... Penelope still loved him, she disguised him to look like an old man so he could go into the town without people knowing who he was. He got help from the god of wind as well who helped him by giving him a bag of wind so he could sail back to Ithaca. Poseidon did not really help Odysseus, he was just trying to convince him that he was nothing without the gods. Aeneas was never held captive by any of the gods as was Odysseus. Aeneas got help from Venus (Goddess of love), his mother. She convinced him to stop fighting because she wanted him to rescue his family which was a lot more important. Jupiter also helped him because Aeneas’s wife told Jupiter that Aeneas was going to ....


The Ugly Tie
258 Words - 1 Pages

.... suave. The passé tie is today's pariah and will plague the wearer with banters from all over. The flashy illuminating polyester fabric gleams with a lust of shiny plastic coating. The tie is milky colored all around and at the center a cherry colored circle. However, as creative as it may seem, the tie is indifferent to any color other than ivory or ebony. Thus, a snow- white suit with beaming bleach-white colored shoes is necessary in order to pair with this particular tie. History has taught that fashion is something that relates to the time period. As the people evolve from the seventies they realize that clothes could not be outrageous or it would decease as a fa ....


Dover Beach By Matthew Arnold
785 Words - 3 Pages

.... this as to set the mood for the opening stanza .For others it may provoke a thought or memory of the past . Perhaps on childhood holidays with your parents. The could be provoking these thoughts so that you can empathise later to what he is experiencing in the poem . This setting for many , will of course bring the Channel to mind , a gigantic image , provoking again thoughts, this time of France. The title itself however does not give you any emotional insight into the poem . I feel the poet did this as to not alert the reader to what is going to transcend upon them further in the poem. The poems opening stanza is to begin with very soft and t ....


A Friend Who Wants Revenge
764 Words - 3 Pages

.... Fortunato is the type of person that is and always has to be better then anyone else. For example," Luchresi cannot tell Amontillado from Sherry" (748). Fortunato says this because he believes that if Luchresi tells the difference between the two liquors then Fortunato will have failed. The one quote that explains Fortunato fully is," Come we will go back; your health is precious. You are rich, respected, admired, beloved; you are happy, as once I was. You are a man to be missed…Besides there is Luchresi" (749). Unlike Fortunato Montresor is not loved, respected, or will be missed. Montresor at one point in time seemed to be similar to that of Fortunato. Montr ....

.... minister and an educated scholar who still believed in the genius contained within the common southern black vernacular(Hook http://splavc.spjc.cc.fl.us/hooks/Zora.html).

She found a special thing in this town, where she said, "... [I] grew like a like a gourd and yelled bass like a gator," (Gale, 1).

Comments On This Be The Verse
1293 Words - 5 Pages

.... and rhythm of the poem seem almost an accident. One poem I read that really stayed with me is the above poem, "This be the Verse." I will now show you how this poem, which at first glance seems to be written only to amuse, really has a much deeper meaning. I will examine the poem in several parts. First, I would like to examine the use of curse words in the poem, or why other words that would be considered more acceptable to the general public were not used. Then, I will discuss the three stanzas of the poem and what they were meant to do for the audience. Lastly, I will explore why Larkin would write such a poem, and what he was trying to get across to his audience by writi ....

The novel, received rave reviews, high praise and gained more serious recognition by critics and the public eye overall. Being so, producer Jon Avnet turned it into a ....


Antigone, War Of Beliefs
910 Words - 4 Pages

.... is weakness itself against the immortal unrecorded laws of God. They are not merely now: they were, and shall be, operative for ever, beyond man utterly." (Page 349). Antigone's staunch opinion is one that supports the Gods and the laws of heaven. Her reasoning is set by her belief that if someone is not given a proper burial, that person would not be accepted into heaven. Antigone was a very religious person, and acceptance of her brother by the Gods was very important to her. She felt that "…I will bury him; and if I must die, I say that this crime is holy: I shall lie down with him in death, and I shall be as dear to him as he to me." (Page 341). Creon's order was p ....
