... filled with bombast, humorous speeches, and mischievous wordplays. Passages of great poetic beauty discussing love are very common in all of Shakespeare’s texts. For example in The Merchant of Venice, before Bassanio is about to select the correct casket, he is urged by Portia to delay his selection in case he fails. However Bassanio wishes to continue. Portia: I pray you tarry, pause a day or two Before you hazard, for in choosing wrong I lose your company. Therefore forbear awhile. There’s something tells me (but it is not love) I would not lose you, and you know yourself Hate consels not in such a quality. But lest you should not ...

... States that year. She and Tio Miguel got themselves an apartment in the Bronx…He didn’t say nothing to nobody. (Drown, 23) Two aspects, his Spanish interjections into the text and his tendency to disregard English rules of grammar, surface in the opening of "Fiesta, 1980." Yunior’s narratives contain Spanish words an average of about every other sentence. Diaz uses them to keep readers aware of Yunior’s culture and homeland, attempting to stop the "stifling" effect America often has on immigrants’ cultures. Also, Yunior’s rejection of the norms of English writing, evident in the phrases "got themselves" and "nothing to nobody&q ...

... a genius too" (500). In fact, he murders "an old hag" (457), otherwise known as Alena Ivanovna, a pawnbroker, to make society a better place (223). Soon, however, his actions start to haunt him. While Raskolnikov never considers himself guilty of a wrongdoing, Sonia, Dunya, and his mother know the truth. When he first confesses to Sonia, Svidrigailov overhears them talking and uses the information to his advantage. He tells Dounia that "[Raskolnikov] made a full confession to [Sonia]" (498). It devastates her to discover her brother is a murderer. From there Raskolnikov's mother "heard [Dounia] talking in her sleep" and "understands at least hal ...

... patches of brightly colored feathers on their necks. Theses birds keep warm from the harsh Antarctic conditions by thick layers of fat on their bodies. Their wings developed into flippers, which serve as paddles to help propel them in the water. They also have webbed feet which when combined with the flippers make them excellent swimmers and divers. The species are divided into four groups for easy identification. The groups are as follows, I. “Large, with orange or yellow patches on the sides of the upper neck (Species 1-2). II. Medium-sized, crested with orange or yellow lines on each side of the crown above the eyes (Species 3-8). III. Medium-sized, with ...

... remained silent in the face of genocide.” Elie Wiesel has paid much attention to an inner desire and need to serve humanity by illuminating the hate-darkened past. is a horrifying account of a Nazi death camp that turns Elie Wiesel from a young Jewish boy into a distressed and grief-stricken witness to the death of his family, the death of his friends, even the death of his own innocence and his faith in G-d. He saw his family, friends and fellow Jews first severely degraded and then sadistically murdered. He enters the camp a child and leaves a man. At the book’s end, Elie bears little resemblance to the teenage boy who left Sighet almost a year earlier. ...

... Only a bright person would know the name of a rare shell and how to blow it to make a noise. Further on at the end of chapter two Piggy compares the fire on the mountain to the fires of hell. It almost like he can “see” what is going to happen to the kids. Also he says “acting like a crowd of kids” as if was the adult on the island trying to help the “kids”. More proof of his clear thinking is the fact that Ralph relies on Piggy’s good advice to succeed. Without Piggy, Ralph would be lost. As the story progresses we see the boys drift apart however we see Piggy try to retain order as an adult might. When there is ...

... ruler, and so forth. That which would concern women, such as domestic affairs, is not involved in this literature, or is dealt with only casually. Keeping in mind this important attribute of epic poetry, which is the direct result of its social and intellectual environment, one cannot help noting the great difference between the Odyssey and all other epic poems. No other literary work of this period, or of a similar cultural background, gives such a prominent position to women. No reader of the Odyssey can help having vivid memories of the poem’s outstanding female characters. There are many women in the Odyssey and all of them contribute in mean-ingful way ...

... became close friends with Ezra Pound. Though Williams disagreed with Pound when it came to poetry it was his relationship with Pound that opened the door for him into the world of contemporary poetry. Williams unlike Pound and other Imagists did not go abroad but remained at home and became one of the strongest supporters of the American Nativist movement. In fact it was Pound who published Williamss' first collection of poems (Poems) in 1909. Williams was closely involved with the Imagist movement and it was in Imagist publications that his first works of poetry appeared. It was his relationship with the Imagist movement that taught Williams the necessity of br ...

... new chief of the six nations, feeling that something has been wrong from the beginning of helping the British to fight against Indians in Delaware. On the other side, there is Sir William Johnson. He is a man that will do anything to satisfy his interest and at the same time accomplishes the British king’s plans. As we can see, he even married an Indian woman because of the convenience to form a tie with the six nations. As the movie goes along, there are intensions between the Indians and the British constantly. The British always demand the Indians to give help on their problems, but never keep on their promises, such as new settlers were looting Indians’ land thr ...

... abandon all other beliefs. He believes that everyone should obey the laws set forth by him, even if other beliefs, moral or religious, state otherwise. He enforces these laws very strictly. At the beginning of the play, Creon orders the people not to bury Polyneices because of his dishonor towards Thebes. Furthermore, if Creon catches anyone burying him, he/she will be killed for disobeying his order. This alone makes the quotation true. If people see the cruel truth behind this action, they will make sure to see the end of his rule. When Creon realizes that the burial of Polyneices does occur, he sends his Sentry to figure out the culprit. He explains to ...
