Ode To The West Wind
Words: 1556 - Pages: 6.... near Florence, which is Dante’s hometown. The use of the terza rima poem is
Shelley’s most obvious adaptation of Dante and he relies upon Dantesque ideas to write his poetry. The image of the leaves being blown by the wind “like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing”(l.3) depends on the Inferno in Paradiso for the image to have an effect on the reader.
The various cycles of death and rebirth are examined with reference to the Maenads who were fabled to have destroyed Orpheus’s body and spread it around the world. This is the underlying theme to the poem with Shelley alluding to the breaking of Christ’s body o .....

All of a sudden he is caught in the storm and looking for answers as to what caused this, in his perspective, sudden clash of ideas. Living '…between two massing powers…' often causes feelings of despair and loneliness where we just want to be alone and when bystanders such as family and friends who provide 'neutrality' try and comfort us we often push them away.
'None such shall be left alive;' goes to show that everyone loses in wars that are caused by mere disagreements. In all battles, even the innocent .....

Eugene Ionesco's "Rhinoceros": True Means Resides In Action Not Words
Words: 753 - Pages: 3.... resistance to taking action
then results in one's becoming a rhinoceros. Jean illustrates this in the
beginning of Act 2, scene 2, when we see Jean and Berenger bickering.
Berenger feels that Jean isn't looking or feeling well and threatens to get
him a doctor. Jean resists by saying, "You're not going to get the doctor
because I don't want the doctor. I can look after myself." (pp. 62) This
refusal comes from his arrogant view of himself as a "Master of [his] own
thoughts," (pp. 61) and "[Having] will-power!" (pp. 7) By seeing the
doctor, Jean would have put himself in the position of taking
responsibility for his actions and seeing th .....

Elduc In 2000
Words: 2615 - Pages: 10.... The repercussions of these betrayals are far more nauseating than Guildeluec’s reaction to Eliduc’s affair. Beware, if you loved Marie’s version this might be too intense for some readers. First, the names of the characters are a bit more modern than the monograms Marie used. Now, Eliduc is called Eli, Guildeluec is Gail and Guilliadun is Jill. Here is how the story goes in 2000. Eli and Gail were together all through high school. They eventually got married because their love had grown into a bond of true friendship and love. The two-shared happiness but Eli would focus the majority of his time on his career. Gail accepted Eli’s .....

Root
Words: 561 - Pages: 3.... spoke again,¡K ¡K ¡K the hold soon filled with mutterings of approval." At that time, Kunta and the other prisoners wanted to keep their voices secret. Because they feared if the white men heard their plan, they would know the prisoners had united. Therefore, they were always murmuring and muttering. On the other hand, the common word "talking" is more casual, louder and clearer. That is why I think Haley used " murmuring" instead of the more usual "talking."
Then, Haley used "toubob" instead of the more usual "white men," because the Africans meant "toubob" as an insult and they thought of the white men as devils. For instance, in Chapte .....

The Joys Of Reading A Novel
Words: 390 - Pages: 2.... in a hurry, the joy of reading it is lost
because the reader would most likely look over the words just enough to
understand the plot but would not go in detail. The detail in a novel is
very important since it helps create atmosphere and mood which results in
the reader beginning to imagine himself as the character. In some novels,
for example, just the details of the surroundings of the character's
location take seven to eight pages to explain and if the detail is missed,
the reader fails to imagine the intended atmosphere.
The extent to which a novel is studied causes the reader to lose
interest in reading the novel because .....

An Appreciation Of The Poem Di
Words: 1529 - Pages: 6.... form of free verse allows the poet a freedom for subtle rhythmic variety, for example using assonance. Or making words look like they rhyme. Which is shown quite regularly through this poem.
Free verse also complements the style of the poet 'connecting' with the reader in the way that it seems like the poet is writing directly to the reader. Making it a more 'in touch' and personal poem to subjects that we can relate to. In this case. Having a respect for your Father or your heritage.
The poems opening line, in a simple, complete one line statement, conveys the impression of the poet talking to us directly and also sets a 'snapshot' of t .....
