different perceptions of how highly the code
should be regarded. Hektor, the greatest of the

Life After Death Fly Buzz When I Died
726 words
Emily Dickinson's poems, Because I Could Not Stop
For Death and I Heard A Fly Buzz-When I Died, are
both about one of life's few certainties, death.
However, that is where the similarities end.
Although Dickinson wrote both poems, their ideas
about what lies after death differ. In one, there
appears to be life after death, but in the other
there is nothing. A number of clues in each piece
help to determine which poem believes in what. The
clues in I heard a Fly buzz-when I died, point to

narrator who knows no more about Ethan Frome than
you do. The narrator, who remains nameless, is a
young engineer. He tells you how he uncovered
Ethan's story bit by bit. He recounts what people
said to him and what he observed during the months
he spent in Ethan's hometown one winter long ago.

Midsummer Nights Dream Merchant Of Venice
1,151 words
William Shakespeare had a way of creating
intelligent characters who made use of the art of
deception for their own personal gains. Characters
such as Lucentio and Petruchio in The Taming of
the Shrew; Oberon and Puck in A Midsummer Nights
Dream; Portia in The Merchant of Venice; and
Richard in Richard III, all wanted to further
their own agenda and did so in very sneaky and
deceitful ways. These characters smartly used
trickery and deceit to achieve their goals, and
succeeded. And let me be a s...

Fire Escape Glass Menagerie

Gulliver in Houynhnmland One of the most
interesting questions about Gulliver s Travels is

the butt of Swifts satire. In other words, in Book
IV, is Swift poking fun at the talking horses or
does he intends for us to take them seriously as

way that the Houyhnhnms act, we can see that in
fact Swift does not take them seriously: he uses
them to show the da...
