Bloody Merdian
.... the blood of war (pp.331),” then that man cannot dance and thus cannot live. Is this why the Kid must die in the end of the book? Because he had chosen to stray away from the fate the Judge had set for him and “elect therefore some opposite course (pp.330)?”
The opposite course the Kid elected for himself was one without pointless slaughter, and meaningless bloodshed. The kid wants desperately to get away from the “vast” and “broken” world of the desert and elects to complete his “circle” instead of s .....

Birdhouse
.... had a great time getting to know everyone. If you lived close by (which she did) you could just spend the night at home, but if not the school principles were always willing to rent dorms to those in need of them. Each dorm had a twin size bed and a nightstand right beside it. So clearly they were very small! That is unless you had a room-mate then you were allowed to have a two to three bedroom dorm which are obviously a great deal larger then the one bedroom.
When summer was over she went back .....

By Means Of Power
.... make power out of hatred and destruction"(18).
The power displayed in the third section of Lordes Power is that of hatred. A policeman has "shot down a 10-year-old in Queens"(21). This he justifies by saying "I didn’t notice the size or nothing else/only the color"(26-27). This officer has taken the power entrusted into him by the citizens and used it for his own good. Or not even his own good but what he might consider beneficial to his people. This directly opposes what Lorde was saying at the .....

Beowulf As An Epic
.... patient, and diplomatic. Beowulf says “That this one favor you should not refuse me--/That I, alone and with the help of my men, /May purge all evil from this hall”(Raffel 430-432) showing that this deed is a favor to the people. His manner lacks the rudeness and coldness of a person whose previous accomplishments make him feel superior to other people. His fame as the world's bravest person hasn't gone to his head.
The language used in epic style poems is that of a higher language. The epi .....

neglecting of his work. Bartleby becomes isolated by his co-workers because .....

Just the courage not to run away, but to fight the beast, Beowulf proved himself to be a courageous man.
Another trait that comes with courage is being noble. To b .....

Both characters underwent a change after Marjorie began to coach Bernice in the art of being popular. Bernice learned all the superficial tr .....
