Hemingway's "The Old Man And The Sea": An Analysis
Words: 680 - Pages: 3.... "He always thought of the sea as la mar
which is what people call her in Spanish when they love her." (p.29) He saw the
sea as a woman, a woman that gave or withheld favors. She was unpredictable
beacuse "The moon affects her as it does a woman." (p.30) The sea was like a

When he heard the dolphins playing in the night he thought, "They are
good...they are our brothers like .....

Character Analysis Of Mrs Mall
Words: 1036 - Pages: 4.... description of the Mallards’ marriage, and that is very true of my response to the story that is compared to my father’s and grandmother’s responses.
Marriage makes boundaries between people that make them unable to
communicate with each other. The Mallards’ marriage was really crippled by both their inability to talk to one another and Mrs. Mallard’s determination that her marriage was made by a “powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature.” But she doesn’t recognize that it is .....

The Odyssey: Odysseus
Words: 2083 - Pages: 8.... liar: heroic qualities that got him through
his adversities. Odysseus is also very human, and the reader can see these
many qualities as well. He is often moved to tears. He makes mistakes,
gets himself into tricky situations, and loses his temper. We see him play
not only a hero but also a husband, father, and son. He takes on the very
human roles of athlete, warrior, sailor, storyteller, carpenter, beggar,
and lover. He vividly displays human qualities like brutality and boldness,
while being sensitive and shy at the same time. It is these human
qualities that people can relate to. While he is no doubt a hero, Odysseus
is a .....

When it was first publish the book was very well received and this was the book that made Saint-Exupery famous. Years later, in late thirties, after the rise of Facism, Saint-Ex was criticized for the ideas presented in "".

Diary Of Hatchet
Words: 1094 - Pages: 4.... dies. To
be honest, I, myself, have thought about what I would do if I was on plane and
the pilot died. I really don't know what I would do, I don't know how to fly a
plane. Luckily, Brian had been taught by Jake how to fly the plane. Brian
didn't know how to land so he flew the plane into a lake. This part of the book

would take for a search party to find him. I have to admit, so far this is one
