1,778 wordsMarko Ramius is the captain of the Russian super-submarine 'Red October'. The Red October is a modified submarine of the Typhoon-class and is nuclear powered.

Dead Sea Scrolls Jesus Of Nazareth
2,607 wordsIn 1947 an Arab shepherd boy was throwing stones at the opening of a cave above him near the shore of the Dead Sea. He heard a jar break and climbed up the cliff to investigate. What he discovered has revolutionized the study of the Bible. There, in that cave, stuffed in jars, were scores of papyrus scrolls covering almost every book of the Old Testament.

Lakoff notes that a particularly important fact about the collection of metaphors used to understand lust in our culture is that their source domains overlap considerably with the source domains of metaphors for anger. "The domains we use for comprehending lust are hunger, animals, heat, insanity, machines, games, war, and physical forces" (Lakoff, 415). Here are some culture-specific examples from Morrison's poetry: "For seve...

According to these editors and compilers the character of Jane Mac Crea, a young woman who was abducted and murdered by the Indians, served as a source of inspiration for the death of Cora Munro. The truth is that Cooper read many captivity narratives and it is logical that he chose relevant aspects of such kind of quasi-mythical American figures in order to enrich a narrative dealing with an important episode of the history of the U. S. A. The most important genre of The...

Dramatic Irony Elizabethan Audience
1,507 wordsShakespeare presents Shylock as both a villain and a victim in 'The Merchant of Venice'. To what extent is this true? Shylock is shown as a villain because he has attempted to kill Antonio, he's abused Jessica's freedom and cares more about his money than his daughter. He is, however, presented as misunderstood and a victim, because not only is he physically abused in the text (he is spat on and kicked), his business is undermined, and he is an alien in his own city. A modern audience would not ...

F Scott Fitzgerald York Chelsea House Publishers
1,798 wordsSpring 1996 The truth was that Jay Gatsby of West Egg, Long Island, sprang from his platonic conception of himself. He was a son of God -- a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that -- and he must be about His Father's business, the service of a vast, vulgar, and meretricious beauty. So he invented just the sort of Jay Gatsby that a seventeen-year-old boy would be likely to invent, and to this conception he was faithful to the end (99). James Gatz was already 'about his Father's busin...

First Two Stanzas Stanza The Speaker
1,180 words'The Indifferent' by John Donne is a relatively simple love poem in comparison to his other, more complicated works. In this poem, 'he presents a lover who regards constancy as a 'vice' and promiscuity as the path of virtue and good sense' (Hunt 3). Because of Donne's Christian background, this poem was obviously meant to be a comical look at values that were opposite the ones held by Christians. According to Clay Hunt, '['The Indifferent'] is probably quite an early poem because of the simplici...

Bride Comes To Yellow Sky Black And White
1,338 wordsA seemingly traditional approach towards the Western frontier is the reason for John Cawelti's assessment from The Six-Gun Mystique. His description of the Western formula being 'far easier to define than that of the detective story'; may clearly be a paradigm for many authors, but not particularly for Stephen Crane. The standards Cawelti has set forth for a successful Western is quite minimal by thought, but at the same time relevant. Crane signifies a different perspective to these standards. ...
