- 21371: Comparison Of The Swimmer And
- ... The Swimmer the first stanza reads opening the spray corollas which also means the blooming of flowers or plants. This similarity is very strong, as it helps to paint the same picture in the reader s head. Both describe a very beautiful scene of nature involving the blossoming of a plant, perhaps reflecting the changes the character might go through. However, there is one fact that distinguishes the imagery in Lone ... of poetic devices such as similes and word choice are both mastered by these two poets. In some cases, it seems as if the two are trying to make their points distinct from each other s. In the case of word choice, A.M. Klein chooses to dwell on a more positive side, with Layton taking the negative. Proof of this is found in Lone Bather : swims fancy and gay ....under ... reference to animals, and how the character either becomes one or acts like one. In Lone Bather the character becomes a dolphin, then a bird, while in The Swimmer Layton makes reference to the swimmer s snake heads strike and later goes on to where his blood sings to the tiger shadows. As often in poetry, when writing about the forming or creating of life, as I believe is the ...
- 21372: Hamlet 3
- Hamlet The work that I wish to discuss is Tom Stoppard's play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" as a scholarly work in regards to William Shakespeare's Hamlet, which is included in Sven Birket's Literature: The Evolving Canon. I believe that the most important issues in the play are the "psychological issues" involved. How do two relatively unimportant characters in Shakespeare's play interpret what is going on ...
- 21373: Behind The Urals
- ... issue that I disliked in America so much that it would lead me to do what he did. The first worker we are introduced to in "Behind the Urals" is a man named Koyla, Scott's roommate at his arrival in Magnitogorsk. He was depicted as a young, strong man and a hard worker that had a huge responsibility for his age. There are not many 22-year-old men that ... he was going to school to become a technician in a setting that demanded a higher intellect level than the schools where the majority of the other workers educated. You will never find anyone Koyla's age, or any age, in the society that we live in today being asked to direct a group of workers under the conditions that he did. Koyla's work ethic and strong will can be somewhat traced back to his childhood and upbringing as it was too very demanding. Another interesting character was the peasant who traveled for two weeks on foot ...
- 21374: Hamlet 2
- ... but few thy voice (I.iii.72). Polonius believes that it is better to listen too much than to talk too much, because sometimes people who talk too much get into trouble, and others don t like them. Whereas, people who listen more than they talk rarely have others who don t like them and they don t get into much trouble. Another way Polonius tells Laertes to stay out of trouble is when he says, Neither a borrower nor a lender be (I.iii.80). This is important because sometimes when ...
- 21375: Hawkeyes Character Profile
- Natty Bumppo is the main protagonist in James Fenimore Cooper's Last of the Mohicans. Natty Bumppo is a well known "palefaced" woodsmen among the Tribes and European armies throughout the colonial state of New York. Hawkeye, as his friends call him, is also known as ... girdle of wampum, and buckskin leggings that laced at the side. His subconscious attentiveness gained by living in the wild causes his eyes to appear keen and dexterous, constantly scanning for any unknown object. Bumppo's mastery of his rifle "killdeer" has given him fame and infamy, due to his elite ability to shoot, and the sheer number of enemy tribesmen he has downed. Hawkeye's friendship with the Mohicans is limited to the fact that only two remain; Chingachgook, and his son Uncas. This is somewhat of an advantage though, because it allows Bumppo to become closer to them. ...
- 21376: Hero In Hemingways Writing
- Hero in Hemingway's writing The Sun Also Rises The remarkable thing about the book was its liberal use of dialogue and how Hemingway used it to carry the reader through the book. There was no plot in the ... the dialogue was the only thing that moved the reader through the book. Hemingway used so much dialogue that it was difficult at times to follow who was saying what, but I believe this didn't matter because any of the characters, except for maybe Jake, could have been carrying on those conversations. I say anyone except Jake because he was different than all the other characters in more ways than ... if there was more there than what was just on the page. It was hard, for me, to see more than just the story, but perhaps Hemingway just wanted the reader to experience other people's lives. I say this because many of the experiences that occurred to the characters also took place in Hemingway's life and maybe he just wanted to share with us what it was like.

- 21378: Homers Vision Of The Duality O
- ... or condemnation of war? Well, he does sort of both. It can be cosidered the greatest of ironies. It is at one time both glorious an heinous. On the one hand, war brings out one's great courage and utter glory on the field of battle, and on the other hand, it also brigs out the extreme brutality and grave inhumanity on the battlefields of ancient Greece. These two opposing aspects ... where the tendons come together. There through the arm Achilleus transfixed him with the bronze spearhead, and he, arm hanging heavy, waited and looked his death in the face. Achilleus struck him with the sword's edge at his neck, and swept the helmed head far away, and the marrow gushed from the neckbone, and he went down to the ground at full length. (20.477-484)" In the Illiad, Homer ... inhumanity and barbarity of war. Each soldier is introduced to us before he is about to be killed. Each has a name, a family lineage, a wife, a child, and some far-off homeland. It's as if Homer is telling us that every human being is both important and significant in his own right. There is no anonimity of one's death in combat. Each combatant, however small or ...

- 21380: The Sixth Sense
- ... can be seen in the movie Star Wars: Episode One: The Phantom Menace. Its story line was weak, and the acting was poor due to the fact that most of it was special effects. Don't get me wrong, the special effects were amazing, and not to mention that I'm a big Star Wars fan, but in lieu of the original Star Wars Trilogy, George Lucas in my honest opinion made a mockery of Star Wars. Though most films made today are very much like George Lucas's latest creation, there are a few movies that actually do have plots, good acting, and leaves people on the edge of their seats waiting for something to surprise them. These movies, unlike the movie Star ... Take as an example the movie directed by M. Night Shyamalan, The Sixth Sense. The Sixth Sense involves an intricate plot, great acting, and a truly surprising ending. The plot of a movie in today's movie market is normally broadcast to the world through an immense amount of advertising. Whether it is through television commercials, radio commercials, or newspaper articles before the movie comes out, one can normally figure ...
