Strange News From Another Star
.... life, you then will not be able to live without it and so, you will need to do practically anything, as the people in the star did, to find the “flowers”.
The symbol of the deity that the youth saw in the temple, I understand that by the way in which the story progresses the symbol is actually representing the fact that war, or trouble (the bird of prey) destroys all happiness or good hearted feelings. I think that the representation is what I mentioned above, because when the messenger “goes” to the .....

Slaughter House-Five
.... being with aliens from Tralfadamore. Some of these topics are hard to comprehend. This symbolizes modern life since it is difficult to comprehend the understandings of life. For example, Roland Weary is one of Billy's war companions. He kept beating the living daylights out of Billy. The novel mentions that Weary treat Pilgrim like this to discipline him, but he over does it. Is it, because Weary is a psychopath or has something against Pilgrim or maybe even perhaps it is jealously that causes this hostili .....

Siddhartha By Herman Hesse
.... is essential in helping Siddhartha come to an important realization of Unity. He hears the river laugh at him, making him realize that he is acting foolish. He is reminded of his father upon the viewing of his own reflection.

Self-Reliance By Ralph Waldo E
.... and kingdoms ruled the land. Today, the monarch is merely a figurehead behind the power of democracy. At the birth of the democratic rise of the United States of America, the colonists were thought of as upstart fools- dreamers believing the impossible. English royalists were aghast at the indignation of the colonies to separate from England and form their own country. In present day, the United States is the sole world power, a great country born out of dreams.
"Self-Reliance" expressed the nee .....

Sexuality In Wiseblood
.... for years to come. Haze reacted to the incident on different levels. Before watching the "show," he was filled with curiosity. So badly he wanted to view this "EXclusive" show. After glancing at the body, he first thought that it was a skinned animal. When he realized what it was, he at once left the tent, ashamed, and perhaps frightened of the object before his eyes.
Hazel’s reaction was not unnatural. The sight with which he was confronted would invoke both fear and embarassment within most ten-year .....

Round River By Aldo Leopold
.... population.
We are also over concerned with now compared to the future which I believe to be more important . The world is to caught up in todays tinkerings to think about the end effects. Leopold stated "that with each substitution of a tame plant or animal for a wild one, or an artificial waterway for a natural one is accompanied by a readjustment in the circulating system of the land." We do not foresee or understand these things unless it affects us .
The essay has defiantly stood the test of tim .....

Paris doesn’t love Juliet, not as Romeo does, but instead his love is only skin deep. He never really gets to know Juliet. If he did, then she may have liked Paris better than Romeo, which would completely cancel out everything els .....

Romanticism - Washington Irvin
.... two children's stories.
Irving wrote many good selections. Despite this fact, some say Irving could be seen as a lesser man than his predecessors. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, "He lacked the religious intensity of Mather, the versatility of Franklin, the statesmanship of
Jefferson, or the dedication of Paine. Yet he outlives them all in the history of American letters"(649). Others see him as the first real American poet. Everyone saw him as such a great poet because of The SketchBook. Everyo .....

Robert Frost
.... through it. The tranquil feeling is added to by a silent butterfly, who searches for a flower upon which to land. In keeping with the peaceful surroundings, Frost speaks of a long scythe ³whispering to the ground,² and of hearing ³wakening birds around.² The speaker also listens for a whetstone ³on the breeze² to determine if there is anyone around, and finds a ³leaping tongue of bloom² beside the ³reedy brook.²
³The Tuft of Flowers² does not contain a definite meter, but it does have a strict rhyme sc .....

Realism And Naturalism In 20th
.... strong plot, he thematically wrote of how life was more good than evil and, in return, wanted his literature to inspire more good. On the other hand, Henry James judged the world from a perspective “offered by society and history” (Bradley 704). He also separated himself from America to create an unbiased view of it as a “spectator and analyst rather than recorder” (Spiller 169) of the American social structure. He wrote from a perspective that allowed him to contrast American society with that of Europe .....
