Waiting For Sisyphus
.... of that fate. Once we are conscious of the useless and absurd things we do daily, we can accept them as our duty, and revel in joy that we accomplish even the most meaningless goals. Sisyphus walks down the slope ready to try again, and ready to fail, because it is his purpose.
Camus has added a little bit of hope to the lives we so often regret. Perhaps Camus believed that Sisyphus tries again because someday he can push the rock to the very top, and it will stay. Through the play Waiting for .....

Walkabout
.... what you’re saying. But we’re lost. We want to go to Adelaide“ (Marshall, 45). This quote that Peter says is proving that the two children did not understand what he was saying. Peter asked him a question in return but Peter had to try and use hand expressions in order for the Aboriginal to understand.
A language barrier can cause many problems for anyone, however, the children are also faced with another obstacle and that is unfamiliar surroundings. Since the children are .....

Walking Around
.... since existentialism consists of an active role of the will, and not the reason, Neruda was just being spontaneous. He probably was just trying to get out all that he felt, even if this meant going to the extremes.
Neruda was probably disappointed of the new inventions, and the destruction of nature and man itself. This poem clearly shows that Neruda is tired of living in the world around him.

Wandering Girl, What Insights
.... Each day felt like years, as Glenyse had no one to talk to. Mrs Bigelow never spoke to Glenyse unless it was to give her orders. Glenyse had very little contact with the Bigelow children and Mr Bigelow, the Mayor of Ridgeway, never spoke to Glenyse. She was their "dark slave" and was to do all their household chores. For a while Glenyse did not have anyone to talk to or to joke with. However, Glenyse did have a sense of humor and guts to pull her through the time. This was evident when Glenyse accid .....

War - How British Literature H
.... after the war. But with Eliot’s words he opened up new doors for other poets to come.
Then there was D.H. Laurence who's works were diverse. His poems and stories touched the side of society most people had forgotten. The part called love. With Laurence’s fictional characters he gave people a different outlook on things. Thanks to Laurence the people of war could be happy by just reading.
Last author is Siegfried Sassoon who's brutal honesty and look into the reality of war stu .....

War Engenders Many Journeys In
.... is at a constant. It began when we were born and only ends when we come to an end. To let our guard means that we lose the war and become a failure. To continue to fight and wanting to win will guarantee success. This war not only engenders many journeys in life but also is a prodigious journey itself.

War Of The Worlds
.... and Gomorrah and also quotes Revelations 14:11. Wells uses this clergyman to introduce his own opinions of religion and divine justice. The curate is effeminate, weak, despised, described as "a silly woman" (indeed this may be a reference to the narrators wife who has all but disappeared form the text), and is eventually murdered. It is hard to avoid feeling sorry for the curate during these times, but his apparent confusion and lack of action is exactly what image Wells tries to convey about religion .....

War Poetry

Warm Feelings For Cold Blood
.... for him. He proves that you can even see some good in the worst of people. He does this by slowly developing Perry’s character. He gave an in-depth view of Perry’s world. He showed that Perry, although he had troubles in his life and sometimes had a total disregard for people’s life he also respected the people. Perry felt bad for some of the people he met. He also was willing to forgive people.
Truman Capote was born Truman Streckfus Persons, in New Orleans September 30th 1924 .....

Was Hamlet Insane
.... ghost of his father. Hamlet’s friends find him ranting after his meeting with the ghost “Hillo, ho, ho, boy! Come, bird, come” (Act 1, Scene 5). Naturally, this supernatural experience has sent Hamlet’s mind reeling but he quickly recovers and apologizes to his friends “I’m sorry they offend you, heartily—“. Furthermore, he is unwilling to reveal what the ghost has said to Horatio and Marcellus and informs them that “How strange or odd soe’e .....

Was It Heaven Or Hell
.... conformed to its moral and religious requirements cheerfully, contentedly, happily, unquestionably. To do this was become second nature to them. And so in this peaceful heaven there were no clashings, no irritations, no fault-finding, no heart-burnings.
In it a lie had no place. In it a lie was unthinkable. In it speech was restricted to absolute truth, iron-bound truth, implacable and uncompromising truth, let the resulting consequences be what they might. At last, one day, under stress of circumsta .....

Was Macbeth A Traitor

She convinced Macbeth that the rewards of the murder would far outweigh the drawbacks and clear their conscience, “A little water clears us of this deed” (Lady Macbeth, Act I, scene ii). Although Macbeth dearly loved his king, Lady Macbeth yielded such a persuasive power over him that he was convinced the .....

Was Prince Hamlet Wacko

This quote allows the reader to follow Hamlet's train of thought in regards to his role as student, mourning son, and Prince to the throne:
"I'll wipe away all trivial fond records, All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past That youth and observation copied there, And thy commandment all alone shall live Within the book and v .....

Was Shakespeare Really Shakesp
.... Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon was not the author of the plays and poems that contain his name, but the evidence for Shakespeare's authorship is abundant and wide-ranging for the era in which he lived, much more abundant than the comparable evidence for most other play writers. A strong, tight web of evidence shows that a real person named William Shakespeare wrote the poems and plays attributed to him; that a real person named William Shakespeare was an actor in the company that produced the plays at .....

Was The Wife Of Bath A Feminis
.... example of the Wife of Bath's so-called "feminism", is the incident in which she rips pages out of her husband's extremely sexist book. He proceeds to hit her in the head, causing her to fall to the floor in pain. This seems like an act of female liberation, but it is far from that. She did not think the horribly sexist stories her husband read to her were untrue. In fact, the stories sounded like something the Wife of Bath, herself, would say. She lashes out because she can not face her flaws. The Wife o .....
