Boston Little Brown Crying Of Lot 49

The philosophy behind all Pynchon novels lies in
the synthesis of philosophers and modern
physicists. Ludwig Wittgenstein viewed the world
as a totality of facts, not of things. 1 This idea
can be combined with a physicists view of the
world as a clos ed system that tends towards
chaos. Pynchon asserts that the measure of the
world is its entropy. 2 He extends this metaphor
to his fictional world. He envelops the reader,

Native Americans Moral Principles

demonization of the Native Americans by early
nineteenth century writers intensified the two

Figures Of Speech Similes And Metaphors
1,160 words
John Masefield's poem Sea Fever is a work of art
that brings beauty to the English language through
its use of rhythm, imagery and many complex
figures of speech. The meter in Sea Fever follows
the movement of the tall ship in rough water
through its use of iambs and hard hitting
spondees. Although written primarily in iambic
meter, the meter in Sea Fever varies throughout
the poem. The imagery in Sea Fever suggests an
adventurous ocean that appeals to all five senses.
Along with an adventurous ...

Fairest Creatures We Desire Increase Fairest Creatures We Desire Sonnet

FROM FAIREST CREATURES WE DESIRE INCREASE When God
saw his creatures, he commanded them to increase
and multiply. Shakespeare, in this sonnet,
suggests we have internalized the paradise command
in an aesthetic ized form: From fairest creatures
we desire increase. The sonnet begins, so to
speak, in the desire for an Eden where beauty's
rose will never die; but the fall quickly arrives
with decease (where we expect, by comparative with
increase, the milder decrease). Unless the young
man pities th...
