Milton Paradise Lost Lock Of Hair
696 words
In this poem, Pope pokes fun at female vanity.
Pope wrote Rape of the Lock expressly at the
request of his friend, John Caryll, in an effort
to make peace between real-life lovers. The
incident of the lock of hair was factual; Pope's
intention was to mix humor with the ill feelings
aroused by the affair. He was, in fact, putting a
minor incident into perspective, and to that end,
chose a mock-heroic form, composing the poem as a
parody of epic poetry, particularly the work of
Milton (Paradise Lo...

Child In The Poem Lightening Bugs Glow
317 words
After reading The Glow-worm by Charlotte Smith, I
almost felt a bond with the child in the poem. I
can remember how I enjoyed playing outside on a
spring evening when I was young. I found it
completely amazing to see a bug with a glowing
butt. I would run around my backyard, trying to
catch as many as I could. When it was time to go
inside, I would put my new pets in a jar that I
kept outside in my garage with holes on the top
big enough so that the lightening bugs could
breathe, but small enoug...

Forty Five Five Minutes

Stomp originated on the streets of Brighton,
England. The creators, Luke Cresswell and Steve Mc
Nicolas were a group of street performers known as
buskers, trying to catch peoples attention.
Attention is what they got. Busking is an old
custom in the UK, dating back to booth theaters
erected at village fairs in the Middle Ages. Luke
and Steve updated this custom and created a modern
symbiotic marriage between movement and music. As
I entered the theater, the surrounding area was
dimly lit. The o...

Figurative Language Person Narrative
541 words
One of the most important decisions that an author
has to make when writing a story is how it is to
be presented to the reader. Whether its going to
be a first or a third person narrative, what kind
of language is to be used, and the writing style
of the author himself, play an immense role in the
story. In A&P, John Updike's detailed description
of the world through Sammy's eyes helps to bring
out the theme onto a level at which the reader
could relate to the story. The use of figurative
langua...

Marcel Duchamp Avant Garde

The supermarket was going to be a doomsday dungeon
this Sunday afternoon for James Faruggulo, but he

One afternoon I was sitting at a study table at
the library quietly working on my Survey of World
Religion homework. All of a sudden another college
student slammed his books on to the table. After
he placed his books loudly upon the table, he
threw down his book bag on to the floor next to
the chair. I glanced up at him with a look of
disturbance upon my face. He left as quickly as he
came, just to return again. I continued working on
my homework until he blessed me with his present.

Niels Bohr Model Of The Hydrogen Atom

Niels Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom, was the
primary reason for the understanding of energy
levels. Bohr was able to explain the bright line
spectrum of hydrogen. Sparked by the recent
discovery of the diffraction patterns, scientists
believed electrons could be described as waves.
Bohr hypothesized that energy is being added to
the hydrogen gas in the electricity form, and then
leaving the gas in the form of light. He figured
the light rays to be quantized, meaning only

The Scarlet Letter Message In Meteor

This affected him in ways he himself may not have
even realized. His dislike for the Puritans can be
easily observed in this novel. He created this
book after struggling for several years to obtain
