- 5351: Cow Lore
- ... clips of memory in them. He saw a lot of ale, and a lot of women. He barely remembered standing up on the table, and all those cheers he received from his people... how he'd made a great speech about the upcoming battle. His happy expression turned to one of concern. The battle. His thoughts of a wonderful, drunken, wenchfilled night were disrupted by the impeding thoughts of the battle ... your spell?" The sorcerer slowly nodded once. "Y'know," Mike said, resting his hand against a nearby shelf. "I think you just talk far too much... heheh." The sorcerer glared at him. "Ok, well... I'd best be going, then," Mike said, backing out of the doorway. "And thanks again." The army of the Beefers slowly marched over a slight rise, and stood waiting at one end of the vast plain ...
- 5352: Saint Augustine: Confessions
- ... written by Saint Augustine. Book 11 is probably the most interesting book I have ever read to this date, including Jurassic Park. This book raises so many questions which I too wonder about on a day to day basis. This is the type of “stuff” Philosophy is made of. Without these questions, how would we ever know why we do what we do?
- 5353: Shakespeare's Sonnet 18
- ... collection. It is a beautiful romantic love poem written to compare summer to his love’s beauty. A beautiful piece of imagery is used in lines1-3: “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou are more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May:” Shakespeare clearly ables the reader to picture a beautiful woman whose beauty can not be taken away by any ... 18 is filled with Shakespeare’s style like his romantic tone as mentioned before, and his rhyming patterns, and his vivid imagry. All of the words on the end of his lines ryhmed. For example, “day” (line 1) rhymes with “May” (line 3).William Shakespeare was born to John and Mary Shakespeare of Stratford, both prosperous and respected people of the town. It is highly probable that William went to a ...
- 5354: Christian Elements in Beowulf
- ... the favor of God. However, the dragon is the instrument of Beowulf’s death. As J.R.R. Tolkien explains, “the placing of the dragon is inevitable: a man can but die upon his death day” (Holland-Crossley, 11). If this view is accepted, the problem of why Beowulf had forfeited God’s favor disappears. Beowulf in his youth overcomes his foes with God’s help. But even with God at ... Chickering, 17). Both icons represented power and wisdom of heroes. The scene where Beowulf dives into Grendel’s dark mere and begins his descent into the watery depths swimming until “the ninth hour of the day” (Kermode, 57). This is almost an unavoidable biblical echo. In Luke 23:44-46, it is the same hour that Christ, abandoned by all but a faithful few, died on the cross. Furthermore, this is ...
- 5355: The Life and Work of Ronald Dahl
- The Life and Work of Ronald Dahl September 13, 1916, was the day Harald and Sofie Dahl, two Norwegian immigrants living in Wales, had their first son, a boy they named Roald. Even before birth Roald was supposed to be endowed with great sense of beauty, courtesy of ... the age of seven. Dahl's days at Llandaff would have been rather unremarkable if not for the presence of a candy shop on his route to and from school (Dahl, Boy 28-29). Each day he and four of his friends would stop at the shop on their way home, and in Boy he describes how central it was to their lives: "To us, it was what a bar is ...

His exotic shows show her what she is like, exaggerated. It takes her a while to realize this. When first being introduced to Petrucio she yells at her father You have shown d a tender fatherly regard, / To wish me wed to one half lunatic; / a mad - cup ruffian.

- 5357: To Kill A Mocking Bird Film An
- ... shoots a mad dog. Additionally, the order of scenes is switched around, and the time frame is compacted into about one year, compared to the books 3 years. If I could make any changes, I d colourize the film, add the scenes in which Calpurnia takes the children to church, the pageant (admittedly, its really only so I can laugh at the ham costume again), as well as the Aunt Alexandra fiasco. I d also give Boo his line, and make the scene where Mr. Ewell attacks the children more horrific, like adding in a snap sound effect for when Jem breaks his arm, and having Mr. Ewell attack ...
- 5358: Antigone: Summary
- ... rot. Antigone was angered by this and was determined to bury him, even though the penalty was death by stoning. Antigone asked Ismene, her sister, for help with the burial, but Ismene refused. The next day a servant passing by noticed that someone, in an attempt to bury the corpse, had sprinkled dust over it. After a debate the servant decided to tell the king, Creon.

Another form of figurative language used is a metaphor. A metaphor is a comparison without using like or as. An example is "…He the wild eagle screaming 'nsults above our land…" A ...

- ... Oedipus was a young man he was told that he was not his father's son. He tires to dismiss this horrible accusation as that of a drunken man, but it always bothered him. One day Oedipus decides to go to the Oracle to see his knowledge of Oedipus' birth. The oracle tells Oedipus his fate is the death of his father by his own hands and that he will marry ... I should lie with my own mother, breed children from whom all men would turn their eyes; and that I should be my fathers murderer. I heard all of this and fled. And from that day Corinth to me was only in the stars descending in that quarter of the sky, as I wandered farther and farther on my way to a land where I should never see the evil sung ...
- 5360: The Great Gatsby
- ... of this corruption is that the motivation and ambition vanished and the dream was left with the pursuit of an empty goal. This is displayed when Daisy says "Do you always watch for the longest day of the year and then miss it? I always watch for the longest day of the year and miss it." (Fitzgerald, 97) This quote shows the lack of motivation and meaningless life to which the empty rich society had turned to. Another result of this corrupted dream is the ...
