... He overlooks the love of the Speldings and everything that they give him. Instead of showing thanks to the Speldings, Kreton does the opposite and tries to start a war.
I believe that kreton's care of only negative traits was both useful and destructive. Without even knowing, Kreton indirectly showed the characters of the play that they overused violence.

Pied Beauty
Number of Words: 687 / Number of Pages: 3
... unchanging and timeless. So there is a bit of irony at the end.
This poem seems to have no setting. However, it uses a lot of images that made me think of being outdoors, camping, on a picnic, or looking up at the sky. The poem also has a joyful tone. It also has a little religious insight. It is almost like a prayer, in that the poem gives praise to God, and celebrates his creations.
There is much alliteration in this poem. In the second line, the "C" sound is repeated where the speaker says "of couple-color as a brinded cow." In the fourth line, the "F" sound is ...

Number of Words: 480 / Number of Pages: 2
... others were very short. The only
way to truly fix this story would be to re-write it.
The second story I chose to write about is called "Horses of the Night"
