Franz Kafka Hunger Artist
1,045 wordsBeginning my response I would like to say first that I really enjoyed this book. I believe that from four stories that Kafka combined together "A Hunger Artist" is by far the most celebrated and studied. This story really feels at once dream-like and utterly real; no such hunger artist could exist as Kafka describes it, yet all the events and feelings in the story seem true to life. The ending of Franz Kafka's The Hunger Artist at first glance it seemed to me to be lacking something. The Artist ...

Created By God Spirit Of God
1,458 wordsAnalysis of The Creation This opening excerpt of Genesis lays down the situation in which the Creation occurs. It is very interesting to dissect the statements within this particular passage because it asserts the nature of both God and goodness, but also of evil. It stands as a paradox with many other ideas of the the Bible and of the Church, and in this way I believe some of its meaning may have been lost through the centuries and through different translations. This beginning excerpt from Gen...

681 wordsInformal Journal In Gulliver's Travels, Gulliver first encounters the tiny Lilliputians after he is shipwrecked. He wakes up to find himself bound by countless tiny threads that the tiny people used to restrain and contain him. Their tiny size is purely symbolic in nature, because Jonathan Swift's tale is mainly a satire on England.
