Then in third stanza the poet describes someone who lived a good life but doesn’t want to let go "Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright their deed might have danced in a green bay, rage rage against the dying of the light." It was as if he was saying had he lived longer things could haven been better. In the fourth stanza " Wild men who caught and sang the sun i ...

... on and damp across the stomach from the
supper dishes.1
The narrator had problems coming to terms with the role in life that she
was expected to lead. She wanted to work outside with her father doing the work
that she deemed important. The mother tried to get the narrator to work inside
doing work deemed appropriate for a lady, however it was not something she
enjoyed. "I hated the hot dark kitchen in the summer" (p. 530). The narrator

Aristotle’s Rules For Tragedy
Number of Words: 1529 / Number of Pages: 6
... movement, is one example of a writer that breaks Aristotle’s mold. Her play “Blood Relations” sits on the edge of what Aristotle would call tragedy.
Aristotle states that the form of tragedy is an “imitation of a noble and complete action, having the proper magnitude”(Aristotle 6). Here we have Lizzie Borden murdering her own parents in a fit of rage. The murders happen after years of abuse and negative attitudes from almost everyone she knows. The act of murdering one’s parents is far from noble. It could however, be seen as noble seeing as the reason Lizzie kills them is to stand up for ...

It is something that should be done to appease the King , despite personal beliefs. However, for More his decision to sign the oath must be based on his beliefs. If he were to sign the oath he would lose all self respect. The audience learns this when he says " I neither could nor would rule my King. But there's a ...

Symbolism In "The Mask Of The Red Death"
Number of Words: 559 / Number of Pages: 3
... so vast that he was easily able to support one
thousand of his royal comrades, hundreds of servants, and a seemingly
endless number of parties. However, it is very ironic that the prince of
prosperity was the first to die. He was murdered by the main character of
the story "The Red Death" itself. I believe this was to show the reader
that one can not turn their back to society's problems without feeling the
effects. The giant ebony clock screamed with the symbolism of the group's
short amount of time left in this world. This clock had an over powering
chime every hour. The chime paused its victims with ...

Romeo And Juliet - Who Is To Blame For The Deaths In The Pla
Number of Words: 1075 / Number of Pages: 4
... love. The love of Romeo to Rosaline shows that Romeo is fickle, superficial and immature towards love:
Is Rosaline, that thou didst love so dear,
So soon forsaken? Young men’s love then lies
Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes (II, III, l. 70-72).
Despite these misgivings, Friar Laurence chooses to marry Romeo and Juliet because this may help end the feud:
In one respect I’ll thy assistant be,
For this alliance may so happy prove
To turn your households’ rancor to pure love (II, III, l. 97-99).
Being a religious and holy man, the Friar always believes the good side of things. Howeve ...

... help present the play. The chorus explains to the audience of the difficulties faced in presenting this play. It is difficult to transform a small stage to represent the English or French Courts, or the battlefield in France. They apologize, telling the audience, "But pardon, gentles all, the flat unraised spirits that hath dared on this unworthy scaffold to bring forth so great an object" (li 8-11). It is difficult to depict the life of King with all the honor and glory that he deserves when presenting it on the stage. The chorus also apologizes for the "crooked figure" of the numbers involved i ...

... her skin was white while his was black. He became confused about his own color and uncomfortable with the fact that his mother was white. He wanted to be accepted by others, and he thought that life "would be easier if [his family was] just one color, black or white" (103). McBride became aware of his race at a younger age than most children. While he was comparing skin color with others, I was unconcerned about my race because people of similar skin color surrounded me. I was aware of black people, but, because most people that were around me were white, I never felt alienated because of my ...

... well enough to see it: you can not see things till you know roughly what they are. His first impression was a bright, pale world - a water-coloured world out of a child's paint box."
Lewis also has a gift for making strong points in his novel without making the reader feel guilty, because he uses such human characters that are filled with normal and relatable flaws. Even with the main character's name, Ransom he sends a message, because as you read this book, you will see how his name comes to play. This book is very involved and it's not a book to be taken lightly. This is a book with a lot of in ...

... have done and still may do.
Many of the ideas in 1984 were written to show predictions of what the world might be like if people did not question and act on what was happening around them. Orwell wrote 1984 after World War II when socialist governments which had gone wrong, like Russia, were becoming a powerful force in the world. Orwell, having once fought against Communist Russia, saw how much of a dangerous power they could become in the future, and in turn found it necessary to inform readers of what the future could hold. 1984 is his idea of what a country, such as England in this book, woul ...
