End Of Book Greek Army
1,604 words
The essay of Iliad, Homer finds a great tool in
the simile. Just by opening the book in a random
place the reader is undoubtedly faced with one, or
within a few pages. Homer seems to use everyday
activities, at least for the audience, his fellow
Greeks, in these similes nearly exclusively. From
the heroic efforts in the Iliad itself it is clear
that the populace of his time were highly
emotional creatures, and higher brain activity
seems to be in short, and in Odysseus case,
valuable, order. In ...

Islamic Prayer Rugs Once inside the Mulvane Art
Museum, my eyes became fixed upon beautiful rugs
that lined the wall. As our tour guide, Frankie
Payment, explained these rugs are used in everyday
life of Muslims. They are called Prayer Rugs. The
date on the rug that I especially liked is circa
1700. It is made of cotton weft weaving and wool
warp. Each rug consists of an arrow that, when
laid down, the arrow will face toward Mecca in
Saudi Arabia....

Creates This Irony Upbeat Tone Reader
704 words
In the short story The Lottery by Shirley Jackson,
setting plays an important key role. It creates
irony because the ending of the story completely
contradicts the upbeat impression that the reader
gets all throughout it. Jackson creates this irony
very well in her writing. She keeps it going
throughout the whole story. Jackson could have
easily made the setting a cloudy, rainy, winter
day. Weather would have aided the reader to
predict the tragic end. The readers might feel
that this would be a...

On a Sunday morning I went to the Metropolitan
Museum of Art. I saw many amazing, interesting and
beautiful paintings and sculptures. As I was
walking around, I spotted a painting by Claude
Oscar Monet. This painting was called Terrace at
Sainte-Adresse, which is also known as the Garden
at Sainte-Adresse. Since I was so interested in
this painting scenery, I approached someone who
worked there and asked questions about it. Claude
Monet was the best-known painter of the French
Impressionist Era....

Nature In The Summer Green Grass Place

Everyone has a comfortable place to escape for
relaxation. They go there when they need to be
alone and not with people to disturb them. My
favorite place is nature in the summer. The summer
time relaxes me like no place could. Nature, in
the summer, relaxes me with its magic. I love
sitting in the green grass and listening to the
nature sounds around me while it s summer. One of

Japanese Literature Peony Garden Story
1,615 words
The written word is one of the oldest and most
beautiful forms of communication. It can be said
that one of the strongest emotions ever extracted
from the human spirit came from the written word.
In Japanese literature, you can find some of the
most radiant stories ever written. Some authors
would use the earth around them to tell their
stories. Using nature in Japanese literature was a
whole other form of storytelling. In The Peony
Garden by Nagai Kate, the story on the surface
seems to be very...

St. Marys Catholic Church vs. St. Peters Catholic
Church Who would think that two Catholic churches
would be so different from one another? I attend
two churches of the same religion; it is a very
diverse experience at each one. I am a member of
St. Marys Bryantown Catholic Church, but I also
attend St. Peters Catholic Church. I attend both
churches because there are features at both that I

Pointless Like Owen Tragic But Not Pointless War

Rupert Brooke was one of the early poets in the
war. He felt privileged like many to fight for
their country. He died of illness in 1915 before
having seen any action. He wrote in a romantic
style of optimists towards war. He is remembered
as a war poet who inspired patriotism in the early
months of the Great War. He was good at poetry but
had not seen the fear of the war. He would have
been shocked to see what became of the war. His
view towards war would have changed if he had. The

looking for any personal possessions that can be
salvaged after the fire. Looking out from the
remains, they see the trucks already winding their
way up the newly made dirt road. Soon, the

Edgar Allan Poe Sings So Beautifully Israfel
1,720 words
Israfel: An Analysis Israfel is a mesmerizing
poem, the beginning of which was first set down by
Poe during his days at West Point College. (Allen
233) The poem itself is a direct contrast to Poe's
usual poetry, which usually deal with death and
dark thoughts or other melancholy, Gothic ideas.
Poe's idea of the death of beautiful woman being
the most poetical of all topics is here, nowhere
to be found. This proves that Poe, when so
inclined, could indeed write about something other
than opium in...

Robert Frost Repeated Three Times

Five Great Pieces of Thought I think Robert Frost
is a understandable, but yet an unconventional
poet. Frost wrote in his own style, and as a
result, he took quite a bit of heat from the
critics of his period. Frost has an elegant style
of writing descriptive and understandable poems. I
am going to tell you about the five best pieces he
has ever written. First off, " A Considerable
Speck" is a unusual poem about Frost noticing
a tiny speck on his paper. Upon further
observation, Frost ...

Nathaniel Hawthorne Arthur Dimmesdale

symbolism. People and objects are symbolic of
events and thoughts. Throughout the course of the

Arthur Dimmesdale to signify Puritanic and
Romantic philosophies. Hester Prynne, through the
eyes of the Puritans, is an extreme sinner; she
has gone against the Puritan ways, committing
adultery. For this irrevocably harsh sin, she must
wear a symbol of shame for the rest of her life.
However, the Romantic phil...

Golding Writes Chapter Three Jack
415 words
Golding portrays the different characters and
those ideologies that accompany them with a strong
contrast in writing style. To further understand
this we must compare characters from his Nobel
Prize winning novel, The Lord of the Flies. A good
example of this is Jack who represents evil,
described at the beginning of chapter three, and
Simon who represents good and spirituality,
described at the end of chapter three. Golding
writes the story with the knowledge that
characters who strongly domina...
