For the last half-century it has been generally ...

Horrors Of War Decorum Est
923 wordsThere is no single event that evokes more emotion than a war. It has the power to bring together a nation or tear at its very fabric. It has the power to give a nation its standing, as easily as it can take it away. It has the power to move men to acts they thought themselves unsalable of.

Moby Dick Whale Oil Life
768 wordsMoby Dick is strictly for adults, which is not to say it's salacious or titillating (which, after all, is really just an appeal to that which is most adolescent in us). No, Moby Dick is a book for people who have experienced something of life, felt the painful disappointment of easy answers, smelled the fear of their own mortality and searched frantically for a solution to the puzzle of being alive. The fact that this book is often assigned to adolescents to read is a crime. It's like assigning ...

Closer To God Hester And Dimmesdale
870 wordsIn Nathaniel Hawthorns The Scarlet Letter, the Puritans constantly look down upon sinners like Hester Prynne, both literally and symbolically. The use of the three scaffold scenes throughout the course of the novel proved to be an effective method in proving this theory and showing how Puritan society differs from that of todays.

When I started prepping up for this assignment, I read several poems by different poets. But hardly anything talked...

Road Less Traveled Frosts Poems
1,227 wordsRobert Frost, perhaps the greatest American poet of the twentieth century, has brought himself great recognition. Many critics have tried to find a faulty side to his writing, but they have had a difficult time because his writing romanticizes the rural simplicity that he loved while probing into the mysteries of the universe (Estep 2). Three areas of criticism covered are: a speakers decision in choosing, a poem broken down into three sections, and Frosts use of metaphors and style in his writi...
