- 4301: Unintentional Findings
- ... His artistic vision can probably reflect his incessant habit of always having an opposing opinion to his schoolmates even if it was something small such as who he thought the greatest writer was. In his school Stephen seemed to be told how he was supposed to think and do things and in turn saw his family unable to follow the strict Catholicism taught in his school. This guided him in his decision for his future plans since he felt he was isolated from others because of the way he thought and did things. When looking at his decision for where he ... and find his artistic soul where it would be accepted. When one wants to find their place in society, one should look at the process Stephen went through, from his struggle with his religion in school and the start of his isolation from his family. Stephen's outcome was just to be happy and if that meant leaving home find a soul than one should take his strong individuality as ...
- 4302: The Development of Desire
- ... stories before Beowulf, like The Odyssey and The Aenied, the stories are between men and gods on an even playing field[Earth], but different level of players. It would be like a basketball game between high school players and NBA players. No longer are the events occurring between the gods and men, instead we have the super human versus those of the evil realm. Beowulf becomes more complex as a warrior, and ...
- 4303: The Time Maching (analysis)
- ... to find him a safe occupation as a draper or chemist. Wells had a quick mind and a good memory that enabled him to pass subjects by examination and win a scholarship to the Normal School of Science, where he stayed for three years and, most importantly, was exposed to biology under the famous Thomas H. Huxley. Wells went into teaching and writing text books and articles for the magazines that ... good chance that he would encounter rain. After the Thunder storm is gone he hears voices in the bushes. A person emerges from the brush and is described as "a slight creature-perhaps four feet high-clad in a purple tunic, girdled at the waist with a leather belt. Sandals or buskins-I could not clearly distinguish which-were on his feet; his legs were bare to the knees, and his ...
- 4304: Rabbit, Run Happy Endings
- ... that an unmarried person could be happy." (Mintz, 180). Maybe that is a partial reason why Rabbit married Janice. "He married relatively late, when he was twenty-three and she was two years out of high school." (Updike, 11). In his decade, 23 years old was supposedly late to get married. Today that's the age that people are finally getting there lives in order, and for most people today that's ...
- 4305: Alex's Analysis of Any Abject Abuse
- ... to Miss Fermor. Pope could hardly have hope to soothe the lady's wounded pride by pointing out her vanity and empty-headedness. In keeping with his choice of mock-heroic form, Pope employs a "high-toned" poetic diction and the stately iambic pentameter of dignified epics like Paradise Lost. And of course, Pope's mastery of the heroic couplet, and the balanced, measured rhythms of his lines, lend an even ... proper and natural style for a particular poet to use. Certainly such a style is well-suited to "The Rape of the Lock," exactly because it does strike the reader as "too much," as "too high" for the subject matter. "Not with more glories, in the ethereal plain,/ The sun first rises o'er the purpled main,/ Than, issuing forth, the rival of his beams/ Launched on the bosom of the silver Thames" (ii, 1-4). The use of such "high falutin'" rhetoric to describe a young lady on her way to Hampton Court to play cards is witty and hilarious. Further, it allows the reader a sense of satisfaction to be "in" on the ...

In what looked like a good day for the rookie teacher quickly turned into complete disarray and ...
- 4307: Prejudice of a Bigot
- ... prejudice means "prejudgment," there seems to be an area where that is okay. For example, we prejudge people on a daily basis. A person may look students in their class over the first day of school and appraise them. That guy over their looks a little sleepy -- maybe he attends many parties, better watch out for him. The lady across the aisle is looking perky -- too perky. Maybe she's just ... makes the bigots seem okay in contrast. All a bigot has is an appearance of being higher than others are. But they would lose that if they allowed othe r groups to be just as high. So they continue to put down other different people. Can one ever get away from the "I am better than you are" kind of thinking? Only if the "I am better," isn't based on ...
- 4308: To An Athlete Dying Young
- ... wither away is worse than death. The setting is the funeral of a young champion runner. The speaker begins by talking of when the young athlete won the town race and was carried home shoulder-high (line 4). He then makes a reference to the young athlete being carried shoulder-high (line 6) down the road all runners run (line 5) home. The phrase shoulder-high is an expression of irony.
