Group Of Boys Anti War
1,297 wordsAll Quiet on the Western Front is based on a book by a German soldier who fought in World War 1. It follows the fate of a group of boys who joined in 1915. The main hero of the film is Paul Balmer and we see the world through his eyes. In my essay I will use scenes to prove that this is an anti-war film. One of the main themes of the film is the fact that people who werent fighting didnt really know what it was like to fight in the trenches. Especially the old people encourage the young soldiers...

Fate Or Destiny Appointment In Samarra Death
699 wordsIn Appointment in Samarra, part of his last play Sheep, Maugham retells an ancient Arabic fable. W. Somerset Maugham was one of the greatest storytellers of all time. In the simplest form, he ties together the basic elements of a story: setting, plot, characters, and theme with amazing perfection. The setting is Baghdad, an advanced city of the time. Maugham takes us through the transition of the servant in the marketplace, to his Master and then leaves us with the assumption that the story clos...

Duke Of Ferrara Fra Pandolf
812 wordsRobert Brownings My Last Duchess begins appropriately with a literary deception. The title suggests that the poem is about the Duke of Ferrara's former wife. However, after second and later readings, it becomes apparent that the subtitle Ferrara truly depicts what the poem is really about, for we learn more about the Duke of Ferrara than we learn about the Duchess. As the Duke talks about the Duchess, he really reveals his own controlling characteristics. This irony is significant, because it se...

Tess Of The Durbervilles Vs Mayor
1,069 wordsThe two novels, The Mayor of Casterbridge and Tess of the dUrbervilles have many similarities. Thomas Hardy wrote both of the novels in the late 1800 s, placing the story lines in similar settings, his imaginary land of Wessex. The two main characters in these books, Tess, in Tess of the dUrbervilles and Michael, in The Mayor of Casterbridge, also share something else in common, that also contrasts at the same time. Tess and Michael both live a poor life at the beginning of the novel and experie...

Felt Guilty Cash Money
1,369 words"As I Lay Dying" by William Faulkner consists of strange happenings throughout the story. One of the most awkward settings in the book is the relationship between husband and wife that occurred between Anse and Addie Bundren. What is seen in the beginning is that of a wife on her deathbed and a caring husband who wants to make everything better for his wife by making her wishes come true. I soon realized that this was just a masking technique Faulkner used to give us the wrong impression on how ...

Death And Rebirth Bible Dictionary
1,193 wordsIn the book of Ephesians in the Bible, Paul describes the rebirth of the world upon Christs death, emphasizing the Ephesians new life (2: 4 - 5). This theme of death and rebirth is present in the poem Journey of the Magi, which, I will argue, is structurally and internally divided into three stages; corresponding to the sacrament of penance: contrition (guilt), confession and satisfaction. To understand this poem, one has to understand the impact that Christ had on the world. At the time of his ...

Taming A Sea Horse Taming A Sea Duke
452 wordsI completely agree with Megan's interpretation of the poem, "My Last Dutchess, " by Robert Browning. I think that the Duke was very in love with the Dutchess, but was driven mad by her unfaithfulness. I have considered the possibility that he could be speaking with the future Dutchess. He makes the explanation of the last Dutchess a very secret and intimate moment by saying, "since none puts by The curtain I have drawn for you, but I. " He could be trying to give the new wife-to-be fair warning....

Set Of Rules Things Built Fathers
513 wordsIt had been almost four years since I had visited my fathers homestead. When I first laid eyes on the rough, unhewn piece of property it was a mere shell of the magnificently nurtured piece of land that now lie before me. From a quarter mile up the winding gravel road I began to feel my fathers unique and unmistakable presence. My father, maybe a half century old, somehow embraced an even older, forgotten set of rules. A set of rules that said things built with your hands were things built bette...

Heart Of Darkness Joseph Conrad
1,008 wordsHeart of Darkness Heart of Darkness, by Joseph Conrad is a fictional novel with an overflow of symbolism. Throughout the entire novel Conrad uses a plethora of simple colors, objects, and places in order to clarify very complex meanings. By doing this, Conrad is able to lure the reader into a world unlike his or her own: the Congo River, located in central Africa. Although the interpretation of these symbols is so elaborate, the simplicity of each makes it somewhat easy to overlook. A few exampl...
