- 11861: Magic
- ... class I had never heard of a book of quotations so my school librarian assisted me in finding it. The next item I went for in our school library was the Third Edition Webster’s New International Dictionary, by Merriam Webster. This was easy to find because of its enormity. Lucky for me my word was only on page 1358, so I didn’t have to flip through to many pages ... talked about were how much money they make, and how they make it. This wasn’t what I was looking for, but it was the best I could find. This research paper was definitely a new experience. Last year we did a research paper on a subject, but not just on a word.

The role of Zeena was well acted out in the film.

Her oppressive presence is often described in the novel, and it is emulated in the film through the use of lighting and ...

- ... examples of just those situations. Character decisions played an euqally important role. For example, I thought the descision for Hester not to tell who was the father of Pearl on the scaffold to be very brave, but was wrong. She could have ended it a lot quicker if she told the truth.

Certain questions came about when reading The Scarlet Letter. Many of them involved small details. . For example, why did Hester not tell her daughter at a younger age what the "A" embroidered on her ...
- 11864: Macbeth - Bird Imagery

The Captain telals King Duncan how, just at the moment when Macbeth's forces defeated Macdonwald's rebels, the Norwegian king attacked the Scottish. King Duncan asks if this new attack dismayed Macbeth and Banquo. The Captain, trying to be humorous in a manful manner, says: “Yes, as sparrows eagles, or the hare the lion”(1.2.39). The Captain is comparing the predator to ...

The green silence , although not a true description of something tangeble, does force you you to think fondly upon silence. This is also true of similar phrases, white earth , fine sunlight , warm world . His description is obviously one of a spring day. What is truly interesting about this poem is the levels in it. Although it is one complete poem, it is actually comprised of three levels. The ... his poetry is the mystery. His poetry can be viewed as nonsense and maybe rightfully so with such obstacles in understanding. But I believe his radical style to be the attraction. Maybe everything in this world was not meant to be rationally understood.

- ... to the dogs and vultures, depriving it of those rites which were considered essential to the repose of the dead. Unmoved by her affectionate but timid sister, and unable to proctor assistance, she determined to brave the hazard, and to bury the body with her own two hands. She was caught in the act, and Creon gave orders that she should be buried alive.

By trying to satisfy his beliefs, Antigone's beliefs, and conforming his father, his character is exploited and a new part of the plot transforms.

The King and his fool are thrown out into the stormy night. “You unnatural hags, I will have such revenges on you both that all the world shall - I will do such things,” Lear is going mad, but knows more than he once did. Not only does he come to realise what he has done, but also on what a cruel and reasonless basis the world punishes. Crouched permanently in the realm of madness, there is no escape for Lear. It is nothing but the repercussions of his terrible pride that has given him his ticket to this insane world, and the fact that he has realised that. The concept of a fatal flaw is the most central concept in the play. Lear’s demise can attributed wholly to the intense pride he had ...

- 11870: Dover Beach By Matthew Arnold
- ... land. The metaphor of the tides and the sea is suggested by the sounds and view of the speaker's window, but Arnold uses Sophocles as another example of nature's strength over the entire world. Arnold uses this to illustrate the speaker's despair and helplessness over his situation. Arnold uses this writing to exhibit the conflict between the land and the sea, and how more than just land suffers ... and complete the story's mood. Arnold utilizes this part of the poem to advance from the sea to the "Sea of Faith" with "girdled furls" to expose hopelessness to "the naked shingles of the world". In the last stanza, Arnold ties all of the thoughts of the speaker together, while incorporating imagery, to illustrate how by examining nature and history, the reader has reached the reality of the inevitable. Arnold portrays how the speaker bitterly sees "the world, which seems to lie before us like a land of dreams" "hath really neither joy, nor love nor light".
