.... fen/ Drop on you both!" (1.2.324-326). These lines show how Caliban speaks in the same eloquent tongue that Prospero speaks with. His lines are long and his words are filled with imagery: "wucked dew", "unwholesome fen", "raven's feather".Caliban doesn't in the play ever seem to be at a loss for words when describing his situation. Later in Act 1 Scene 2 Caliban describes how he once the island was his. Caliban acts like a tour guide for the reader describing the water, berries, toads, and beetles of the .....

The Hobbit-review Of Summer Re
.... in this story.
With so many excellent attributes in The Hobbit, I found it difficult to find many things that were not good. Tolkien's choice of a conflict was not very creative. The plot of this novel is based upon the traditional "going out and taking back what is yours" story. The many kinks and side adventures made The Hobbit interesting, but the main plot of the story is still the dwarves attempting to reclaim their lost treasure from the dragon Smaug.
This book is full of adventure in a f .....

had run from everything that was important to her because
the most important, was dying. Hawthorne was not too clear
in stating what exactly the problem was but it seemed that
her daughter had fallen ill.
Throughout the story Hawthorne masks this fact well and
uses foreshadowing nicely. In one part where the main
character is looking in on her parents by means of the
witches powers and Hawthorne describes her parents as

The Iliad
.... in modern time, emotions haven’t really changed. They are something that everyone has and I don’t really think that they change from time to time. I still think that people still care about each other very much. Love is still very felt today. It I felt in the same way it always was. I think that when one that was close to you dies, you will have some sort of devastation. I think that one could be as devastated as Achilles was when Patroclus died, but I would think
that it .....
