Paganism, Say Hello To Christi

an important role in the morality and values of Beowulf. For instance, Beowulf said that

my kinsmen, and I must follow them," that the belief in fate also effected the action .....

Ozymandias
.... ironic that the words inscribed on the pedestal "Look on my works. . . and despair!" reflect the evidence of the next line, "Nothing beside remains," that is, there is nothing left of the reign of the greatest king on earth.One immediate image is found in the second line, "trunkless legs.". One good comparison may be when the author equates the passions of the statue's frown, sneer, and wrinkled lip to the "lifeless things" remaining in the "desart." Another is when Shelley compares the "Works" of Ozyman .....

Poem 2
.... she chose to learn
An education she hopes to earn.
Soccer was her favorite sport
She is very good, although she is quite short
Hanging out with her is always cool
She did quite well during high school.
She has always been a real smarty
Whenever we visit her, she knows where to party.
She will always be a part of the group
Her name is Julie and she’s the second of the troop.
My long time friend Gabe is the third
He is hard to describe in just one word.
He has the biggest .....

to understand everything
some things will just never make sense.
Don't ever be reluctant
to show your feelings
when you're happy, give in to it!
When you're not, live with it.
Don't ever be afraid to try to
make things better
you might be surprised at the results.

Poetry Assignment
.... Personally, Sandburg’s words created a mental picture of a black/grayish, dirty, street cat wandering silently in the alleys of an industrious city observing the streets on top of a half-century old brick building. This engaging metaphor is what makes the fog come to life and also creates its consciousness of the harbor and city that it overlooks. Although the metaphor is being used to show a similarity in the two poems, it will be most significant later on in our discussion in showing the main dif .....

Power 2

Glory’s original name and crying because she knew it wasn’t the first time Mrs. Cullinan changed a name for convenience or to prove her power. She went to great lengths to get fired from working at Mrs. Cullinan’s and to get away of the “hellish horror of being ‘called out of her name’”(6). She came in late, left early, and didn’t clean the dishes properly, among other things, much to no avail. T .....
