become meaningful to Whitman in their crossing
from shore to shore, to eternity (a hundred years
hence, or ever so many hundred years hence, others
will see them as they cross), they share with the
poet the weakness, the doubt and the suspicion

Literature An Introduction Fiction Poetry

Everyone enjoys reading about stories they can
relate with no matter what the relation involves.
It could be comedy, misery, joy or many others.
According to Samuel Johnson this is true. He
states that Nothing can please many, and please
long, but just representations of general nature.
I feel this statement is true however I also feel
that if a story involves suspense or an area of
interest to a reader it does not have to be
something they necessarily can relate to, just
enjoy. It may not have ...

Naturalism And Stephen Crane The Open Boat
1,769 words
Naturalism is frequently cited as one of the
dominant literary movements of 19 th century
America. Naturalism aimed at a detached,
scientific objective portrayal of a natural self
controlled by instincts and ruled by passion.
Since a self was not perceived to have free will,
naturalism debunked moral judgment. Historically,
naturalism is perceived to have been more
inclusive but also less selective than realism
(Hart 525). Naturalism was boxed-in by a
determinism established by Darwinian theory ...

Dry Land Seven Days

Myths from many different cultures seem to tell
the same story. Themes from Babylonian myth can be
seen in Egyptian stories; elements of Christian
theology are evident in some ancient Chinese
texts, and so on. How is this possible? How can
cultures that have had little physical contact
present us with such analogous narratives? These
questions grow more perplexing when time is
considered. Many of these tales are not only from
separate corners of the earth, but also seem to

Seven Mad Gods Seven Mad Gods Who Rule Free

The Open Boat, by Steven Crane, demonstrates fate
vs. free will. In this story the characters are
subject to contemplating how their fate is being
determined, however free will cannot be dismissed
as a contributor to their situation. The fine line
between fate and free will, if it exists, is hard
to define. There are many philosophical and
religious debates between the concepts of free
will and fate. Free will is based on a belief that
our future is based on the decisions that we make
today. Loo...

Robert H. Abel Ishmael Reeds poem " I Am a
Cowboy in the Boat of Ra" turns on a series
of elaborate puns and allusions that all reinforce
the central idea that the old (black) god Ra is
about to reclaim his throne and his power over
men. In addition, Reeds marriage of " popular
culture" imagery with figures from Egyptian
mythology produces an offspring with some
startling independent features. Ra, the sun god
and creator of men, was variously portrayed as a
