Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte
628 wordsBecoming a memorable hero in literature is not an easy thing. Your life is exposed to the public eye, critics scorn your motives, and, far crueler, AP English teachers force their students to write a character analysis about every aspect of your being. However, once in a blue moon, a hero springs up that, strangely enough, is interesting enough that certain ambitious students find him or her so intriguing that they type a three thousand word essay praising or denouncing the story. Jane Eyre is n...

Lord Of The Flies Animal Farm
723 wordsTwo unassociated books, Lord of the Flies and Animal Farm, come together in a certain way to show the quest for leadership among humans. George Orwell, author of Animal Farm, and William Golding, author of Lord of the Flies, explains quite well in these books how human kind destroys itself to be above everything else. Each story has its own original leader, a second designated realistic leader, and its final monarchist leader. In Lord of the Flies the original leader is possibly the pilot or rea...

The Greek Hero Vs Anglo Saxon
715 wordsThe hero stands as an archetype of who we should be and who we wish to be. However, the hero has inherent flaws which we do not wish to strive towards. In literature, these flaws are not used as examples of what we should be but rather as examples of what not to be. This is especially dominant in the Greek hero. While the Greek hero follows his fate, making serious mistakes and having a fairly simple life, the Anglo-Saxon "super" hero tries, and may succeed, to change his fate, while dealing wit...

Coy Mistress Writing Process
1,740 wordsFew would argue that on the surface level of Marvel's "To His Coy Mistress" the speaker is a lover advancing a conventional 'carpe diem' line of thought. He systematically reasons with his desired object about the futility of delaying their interlude when the hours available to them are limited, but the lyric may simultaneously function as a metaphor for Marvel's endeavors as a metaphysical poet. Metaphysical writers view poetry as an intellectual exercise, an opportunity to develop ideas in a l...

Taking Care One Day
684 wordsModibo Diary is one of the toughest players you can meet on a basketball court. Off the court, he is soft-spoken and extremely friendly. When you first meet him you can not help but want to be friends with him. I had the opportunity to first see Modibo play this past summer at an AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) event. On the court any professional scout in America (including myself) will tell you that come next year Modibo will have the luxury to pick whatever school he wants. He is that talented a...

Oedipus Rex Oedipus Complex
1,229 wordsVarious works of literature contain characters who embody the elements of the classic Oedipus Complex, that of a son with an undue and unhealthy attachment to his mother. D. H Lawrence's Sons and Lovers, along with other early modernist works, shows how a son's bond to his mother can lead to that character's major downfall. Even earlier than works of the late 19 th Century does the Oedipus Complex appear, in this case, William Shakespeare's Hamlet. Shakespeare's play about the Prince of Denmark ...

Boyz N The Hood N The Hood Women
888 wordsAnything You Can Do I Can Do Better All right, Ill go ahead and admit it I am back on my kick about how women are depicted in film. I cant help it, the more movies I watch the more obvious the signs of stereotyping are to me. In the film Boyz n The Hood, we are introduced to some not so traditional female roles, but the overall message is still the same, women are not quite as good as men. As I read Michael Dyson's article, Between Apocalypse and Redemption: John Singletons Boyz N The Hood, I fo...

Crying Of Lot 49 Fictional World
1,347 wordsThere are two levels of apprehension to The Crying of Lot 49: that of the characters in the book, whose perception is limited to the text, and that of the reader, who has the ability to look at the world from outside of it. A recurring theme in the novel is the phenomenon of chaos, also called entropy. Both the reader and Oedipa have the same problems of facing the chaos around them. Through various methods, Pynchon imposes a fictional world of chaos on the world of the reader, a world already f...

Makes It Clear Ahab
1,359 wordsThe moral ambiguity of the universe is prevalent throughout Melville? s Moby Dick. None of the characters represent pure evil or pure goodness. Even Melville? s description of Ahab, whom he repeatedly refers to monomaniacal, suggesting an amorality or psychosis, is given a chance to be seen as a frail, sympathetic character. When Ahab? s monomaniac fate is juxtaposed with that of Ishmael, that moral ambiguity deepens, leaving the reader with an ultimate un clarity of principle. The final moments...

It is a physical entity, subject to all the laws of physics. Yet, we experience ourselves, our internal lives, external events in a manner which provokes us to postulate the existence of a corresponding, non-physical onto's, entity. This corresponding entity ostensibly incorporates a dimension of our being which, in principl...

Suicide Attempt Death Poem
827 wordsDeath is one of the major themes of Sylvia Plath's poetry. Many of her poems are elaborate explorations of the concept of death. It was also one of her major preoccupations, as can be seen from the documentation of her life. She attempted suicide at various intervals throughout her life. However, the events in her life were not entirely responsible for each of her three attempts and eventual death. To the outsider her life seemed perfect but over the course of time she had numerous bouts of depr...
