Francis Macomber In The Short
Words: 1237 - Pages: 5.... "he bravely faces a charging bull" only to have his "life cut short when his wife--fearful of her husband's newfound potency-fires a bullet through the back of his head" (Ed. Harris 205).
At the start of the safari, Francis Macomber must endure the embarrassment of his own cowardliness during the hunt. He is first presented in a "mock triumph", since he had only "half an hour before, been carried to his tent from the edge of the camp in triumph on the arms and shoulders of the cook, the personal boys, the skinner and the porters. The gun-bearers had taken no part in the demonstration" (Stallman 89) (Hemingway 1395). This is evident that .....

The idea of food is constantly used throughout the Mary Rowlandson’s narrative, because it was the only essential need that she was concerned everyday to survive.

The Maltese Falcon
Words: 1676 - Pages: 7.... she possesses more of masculine qualities than feminine qualities. Since she works in an environment around
men, she has a tendency to be more influenced by their activities and their ideas. Sam said to Effie, “Your a detective darling.” (, John Huston, 1941) Her voice seems to be monotone which shows her as a strong and an independent person. Although she may act this way, she is still a woman who is somewhat ladylike and very polite. In some ways, women are used to bring forth the ideas of sex and lust, but in this case, Effie’s role was necessary in helping the story to develop and to present how the role of woman .....

Hamlet - Movie Critique
Words: 370 - Pages: 2.... the rest of the play and without it the plot was not as concrete from the beginning.
The dumb-play and play for the king and court was compressed. In the movie, it consisted of primarily just a dumb-show and then the king got mad. It should have included that first and still had a whole play, in which special lines inserted by Hamlet Jr. were to be read. This did not have a dramatic affect on the way the plot was presented in the movie, but was just noticeable.
As far as the casting and setting is concerned, I believe that the director did an excellent job. Obviously, this coming from Hollywood kind of gives it advantages to all previo .....

Beowulf 8
Words: 424 - Pages: 2.... he observes his enemy to watch for all of there sudden moves. Beowulf is very smart for doing this because this way he knows everything about the enemy before it makes its move.

Beowulf's intelligence is well spoken for him because he knows what to do in all sorts of situations without having to think about them.
The last one of Beowulf's qualities is that he's strong. Beowulf is talked to be .....

Words: 309 - Pages: 2.... while he is in nature and is able to think. He contemplates the separation of he and his friend Hopkins and after thinking it through, feels settled about it. “It made a good ending to the story.” (142)
In fact, Nick doesn’t necessarily have to analyze his problems for his life to suddenly simplify, just being in nature and by the River calms him down. “From the time he had down off the train and the baggage man had thrown his pack out of the open car door, things had been different.” (134) Hemmingway uses the trout as symbolism for Nick, his constant struggle to make it up stream compares to Nick’s c .....

The Beginnings Of A National Literary Tradition
Words: 3841 - Pages: 14.... four main authors: Charles G.D. Roberts,
Bliss Carman, Duncan Campbell Scott, and Archibald Lampman. The Poets
ofConfederation "established what can legitimately be called the first distinct
"school" of Canadian poetry"(17, Keith). The term ‘The Poets of Confederation'
is a misnomer since not one of these poets/authors was more than ten years old
when the Dominion of Canada was formed in 1867. However, all of these writers
were aware of the lack of a distinctive Canadian literary tradition and they
made efforts to create one for their successors. While each of these men had
their own distinctive writing style they all sought to contri .....

A Jury Of Her Peers
Words: 681 - Pages: 3.... and shows her ability to look past a situation and tell what is really happening in the lives of others. The men in this story obviously think the women inferior and that allows Mrs. Hale to show not contempt for men, but rather their naiveté toward the true nature and feelings of women. She does this to protect them from things that really do not want to find out about because if they did they would be forced into things that are really not wanted by any, sending a woman whose husband she killed in self defense to her death. This dynamic character goes from an uncomfortable situation in which she really just wants to go home to a .....

Digging By Seamus Heaney
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' .....
