The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse
Words: 323 - Pages: 2.... only affect the poor. He has the power to drought the earth. The fourth rider on a "sickly yellow-green" horse "like a dead person" sums up the work of the other three i.e. kill by sword, famine and plaque, and by the wild beast of the earth. Hades follows close behind this rider because he always follows death.
I believe that one day this will happen. It seems like its happening already since there are a lot of wars, a lot of poor countries that don't have the luxury like the richer counties and there are a lot of men slaying one another. If this was to happen right now there would be nothing for me to do. I wouldn’t be able to hide s .....

Comparison Of Kafka's "Metamorphosis" And Dali's "The Metamorphosis Of Narcissus"
Words: 1109 - Pages: 5.... youth, who fell in
love with his own reflection, and then drowned while trying to embrace himself.
His body was never recovered, but a flower, which was named after him was. The
left side of this painting shows the kneeling Narcissus, outlined by the craggy
rocks of what could only be Cape Creus's. On the right side of the painting, the
scene has morphed into a more idyllic and classical scene, in which the
kneeling Narcissus has become the statue of a hand, holding a cracked egg, from
which emerges The Narcissus flower.
This painting reminded me of the first chapter of Metamorphosis, where
the main character, Gregor Samsa, first realiz .....

that could only be for the worse. As they escape separately and rejoin by
chance at an island along the river, they find themselves drawn to get as
far as possible from their home. Their journey down the river sets the
stage for most of Mark Twain's comments about man and society. It is when
they stop off at various towns along the river that various human character
flaws always seem to come out.
Examples of this would include the happenings after the bringing on of
the Duk .....

Words: 2085 - Pages: 8.... wrote down at the beginning of their
take over. Soon the pigs have disobeyed, and/or
changed every law there was from the beginning,
and the pigs start acting and looking like humans.
After that "Animal Farm" slowly starts to loose
power and Mr. Jones takes back over. This is a
style analysis of Animal Farm.
Diction, language and imagery are three important
elements in a style analysis. A word choice that
is used a lot in the novel is "rebellion".
Rebellion is a word used instead of a revolution
or a war. Another word that is used a lot in the
novel is "comrade". Comrade means an intimate
friend or associate. Comrade is used .....

The Great Gatsby: Depravation Of The American Dream
Words: 441 - Pages: 2.... as its means. The
substitution of attractive but false goals, represented by Daisy, as the
fulfillment of the historical promise of America, has changed the new world
(the east) from a “fresh, green breast” to a grotesque waste land where
only the morally irresponsible can hope to survive. Gatsby' s destruction
shows that those who try to maintain an idealism based on purely
materialistic values are doomed by their self delusion, and George Wilson's
unfortunate career illustrates the fate of the common man in the waste land.
There are a few minor characters in The Great Gatsby whose main
significance is symbolic. In parti .....

Zeinert's The Salem Witchcraft Trials: Summary
Words: 607 - Pages: 3.... I can say
that there were important families such as the Carrier, Jacobs, Proctor,
Good, Hobbs, Nurse, and the Cory's. Also many children were supposedly
being hurt by witches and they banded together against the accused.
The predicament in this story was that events such as a bad crop season
of the girls being bewitched needed to be explained. To say that
"witchcraft" is the answer the these questions. The unfortunate
circumstance for some of the accused witches/wizards was that some of them
had admitted to such crimes. The girls had fits and calling outs that
didn't benefit them either.
Some important happenings were when at Reveran .....
