Lack Of Understanding Robert Lowell
840 words
Frustration's Armored Aroma Skunk Hour by Robert
Lowell and The Armadillo by Elizabeth Bishop are
two closely related poems. Both share the theme of
an animal carrying with it natural defenses, and
the image of an isolated spectator. However, there
is one important contrast between these poems: The
Armadillo portrays a creature who cannot
comprehend the events destroying the life about
it, whereas the speaker in Skunk Hour understands,
possibly too well, the events affecting its life.

would take me on a streetcar every Thursday togo
shopping, have lunch, and go to a matinee and
stage show at thePantages or the Orpheum in
downtown Los Angeles. Clearly I like movies and I
usually find something enjoyable even about bad
ones. I can hardly remember a time when I have

Drinking Driving Repeat Offenders Alcohol

On 31 August 1997, Princess Diana died tragically
in a car crash driven by a drunken chauffer. Her
death was shocking on several levels. It was
violent. It sent those she had touched through her
charity work into heartbroken mourning, and
saddened millions more who had never met her but
who had followed her troubled and sometimes
troublesome life with the intimacy that modern
celebrity affords. This accident would not have
happened if the driver was not intoxicated by
alcohol. The recent figures...

The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a
novel I have read many times and will probably

Great Gatsby along with its themes are timeless.
Money and morals and whether you have them or don?

Nick Walker Walkers Approach Air

Crash happyBlackboxby Nick Walker 311 pp, Review
We now live in a country with far too many chefs
and comedians, too many of whom feel obliged to
produce novels. Nick Walker seems at first to be
doing himself few favours by adding himself to the
list with an experimental novel featuring a
character named Unfunny John, stand-up comic. John
is so desperately unfunny that he can alienate any
audience, which is the point, because he then has
his revenge by blowing his brains all over the
stage. His ...

Literary Devices Good Deal

Huck is very responsive to the beauty of the
natural world about him. He uses vivid imagery to
describe nature in a peculiar way, which one can
even consider out of character for him. His word
choice, general attitude, use of literary devices,
and the use of words which describe the sounds as
they happened, all add to his vivid description of
the summer storm. Huck's reaction is unusual
because up to this point in the story the
impression of Huck that the reader has is one of a
wild, uneducated ...
