.... before him and obviously he can't travel both. He tries to consider the consequences as he "looked down one as far as I could". But each road "bent in the undergrowth" as where each road lead to is not obvious. It's unclear to him what the consequences would be if he chooses either road. The second stanza shows the difficulty of making choices. The speaker tries to distinguish one road from another as he describes one road as "having perhaps the better claim". Here he tries to make an excuse for choosing this road over the other - "because it was grassy and wanted wear." But in line 10 he confesses that both roads are, in fact, not different at all - "as for that passing the ....

.... on Night line that was about his old friend Morrie. He sadly found out that Morrie was dying of ALS and was trying to touch the world with his advice.

.... in a deplorable workhouse, 's troubles multiply when, painfully hungry, he asks for "more." As a punishment for calling attention to his empty belly, Oliver is apprenticed to an undertaker, where he is treated so cruelly that he makes his way to far off London, instead of returning to his workhouse. Not knowing where to go, he is "rescued" by the Artful Dodger, who tells him "I knows a respectable old gentleman as lives there wot'll give you lodging for nothink." (51).

.... by. Hamlet feels as if he has resorted to this passive mode. He suffers guilt from standing by and allowing Claudius to live. Hamlet feels as if he is too gutless to t e the king’s life until he has gathered all of the facts and the right opportunity arises. Hamlet is being extremely hard on himself . It is only human nature to feel nerveless when one is unable to take action. He must realize that he is not being c ardly, but smart to wait and take decisive action. Evidence shows that Hamlet feels life is a burden yet Hamlet still remains tranquil as he soliloquizes. The perfect iambic pentameter of Shakespeare gives this passage a sense of fluidity in contras ....

The pain of that day was so huge that Vonnegut could not write about it or make reference to it in his books until Slaughterhouse-Five, published in 1969. The conviction of an antiwar book emerges more evidently in Slaughterhouse-Five. The main character, Billy Pilgrim (Vonnnegut himself), a soldier for the Allies during World War II and just like Vonnegut, is captured by the Nazis and held captive in Dresden where he witnesses the same tragedy as Vonnegut did. Pilgrim, however, comes out of the war a crazed lunatic. He has the hallucinat ....

He says that earth is the right place for love. He says that he doesn’t know where he would like to go better, but he would like to go swinging from the birches. Another example of symbolic description comes from the poem, “Desert Places”; he talks about how he will not be scared of the desert places, but of the loneliness. He is scared of his own loneliness, his own desert places. Most of Frost’s poems are about nature. All three of the mentioned poems are about nature. In “The ....

.... Their inability to project their true motives in performing certain actions eventually brings about their tragic downfalls. Julius Caesar believed that people needed one strong ruler in order to have maximum production and proper function of a society. He believed that he possessed many, if not all, of the characteristics required of a great leader. He spoke to others in a way which he believed exhibited authority, told people why he should be the one to lead them, and thought that his own advice was best. His unwillingness to listen to others is received as arrogance. Though already warned by the soothsayer to "beware the ides of March," Caesar refuses to heed advice to st ....
