- 5812: The Tempest 5
- ... my so potent Art." He has also shown that he enjoys using it to show off, as he did during the masque he provided for Ferdinand and Miranda, which he indulged in even when Caliban's plot and the court party both urgently required his attention. Although we are not given details of Caliban's birth, it seems likely that a creature as subhuman in appearance as Caliban was not born of a human union. It has been postulated that, to quote Prospero, he was "got by the devil himself ... Prospero is likely to be more ruled by his intellect, and Caliban by his love of pleasure. In the history of each character before the opening of The Tempest, there is a further contrast.

Caliban loved Prospero and Miranda because they "made much of me"; and ...

Psycho and its sequels, spinning off in later years to terrify another generation as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. (The latter film, billed as "a true story," changed literally everything except the grim decor of Gein's peculiar residence.) While other slayers have surpassed Gein's body count and notoriety, America has never seen his equal in the field of mental abnormality. Gein was born in La Crosse, Wisconsin on August 21, 1906 But his family soon moved to a ...

- 5815: Robert Frost - Imagery In His Poetry
- ... imagination of disaster" (Trachea 114). Frost creates an atmosphere of depth, pulling the reader into the story by his use of descriptive adjectives, such as "ancient", Cole 2 "fresh-painted", and "velvety" (Hadas 59). Frost’s descriptions help us hear the pounding of rain, the rustling of the leaves on trees, and feel the harshness of the cold (Trachea 117). A few of his other descriptions are the desolation, silence, and ... Cottage." These terms allow the reader to be drawn in wholly to the story, and they enhance the rhetorical drama of what is occurring- the decay of civilization (Hadas 63). Though it seems that Frost’s work can easily be interpreted through his diction, it is impossible to correctly interpret anything of his without the use of voice inflection (Trachea 114). "Frost’s prose as well as his poetry can be studied for the sound of sense, for the casual qualities of voice and personality he artfully gets into it" (Trachea 87). Frost said that the reader ...

When these tests are completed it seems to pull everything together in their films. Although the hero Shane in the movie Shane and the hero Ripley in the movie Aliens are from two separate generas and are also from separate time periods, the hero’s in each movie share characteristics and are put through similar tests that make them, in theory, one in the same. Heroic characteristics start to become evident right from the start of each of the movies ... the movie Aliens we see Ripley (the hero) in some sort of bed, and when she is introduced we are not given much backround as to where she is from. In both movies the hero’s were introduced without giving much information on there past. This is a characteristic of movie hero’s because at the start of movies director’s don’t want the audience know much about the ...

- ... that are informed by and reflect their Polynesian cultural inheritances in various ways. The main ways in which these inheritances can be seen to be reflected, is by showing the poets inclusion of their culture s mythology, customs, and civilisation.
