Erich Maria Remarque Quiet On The Western Front
1,759 words
The destructiveness of war can be understood upon
several levels. Primarily, war exposes innocent
lives to violence so unforgiving that it leaves
physical and mental scarring to the victims for
the rest of their existence. War destroys the
bonds that soldiers have built with their family,
friends and former lives in their pre-enlistment
years. War strips all the baggage of life away
from the participant, leaving only the raw emotion
to be endured by the soldier. Fear, hate, passion,
confusion, e...

Death Of A Salesman Willy Believes
996 words
Arthur Millers literary play, Death of a Salesman,
sets up a theme involving the American Dream and
the main character, Willy Loan, in a downward
spiral. Death of a Salesman shows that all men
must be sentenced to discover their own smallness
rather than hiding behind the illusion of a big
man who is undone by his own greatness. The major
theme is that one must be able, in general, to
distinguish between reality and illusion, which
becomes harder for Willy to do as his life spirals
out of contro...

Couple Of Years Grendel Mother
1,262 words
It was a dark and dreary night. The sky was full
of clouds, and the ground was full of fog. There
was no light to be seen for miles; especially, in
the dark swampy forest. On that night, something
came into the world that would change the way of
life forever. On that night, Grendel was born. His
mother, a terrible and mean monster, brought
Grendel into this world. Since his mother was a
monster, so was Grendel; however, that does not
mean that Grendel was mean also. As the years
progressed, Gren...

Miss Drew Train Tracks Billy
987 words
Billy Bathgate, is a book of a young boys
transition into manhood. It is an amazingly
well-written book that intrigued me the entire way
through. It starts out in Billy's hometown, the
Bronx of New York in the twenties; a time of
social unrest and prohibition. The apartment
building Billy lives in is not the epitome of
cleanliness. The streets are littered with papers
and loud noises of the trains that go by every
hour. Rundown little bungalows and an occasional
three-story fake brick building s...

Edgar Allan Seamless Crafting Of The Raven
1,932 words
Every writer wants to have a writing of his or
hers be a best seller from the instant he submits
it to the printer. Very few people ever accomplish
this feat. Edgar Allan Poe, however, seemed to
have a knack for making popular poems and tales.
One of his works, The Raven, was an instant
success with all kinds of people (Mabbott 350).
Although a few writers would agree with T. S.
Eliot when he said that Poe's writing has a pre
adolescent mentality (Kennedy 111), this poem is
thought by many more ...

summer nights breeze, rustling the leaves on the
oak, outside my window. It was peaceful, dreamy,

annoyance cancelled all my thoughts of sleep, and
it disturbed all the peace. Buzzzzzzzz...

seen to fall prey to temptation because of his
greed for the chocolate that the Witch gives him;
chocolate is a timeless metaphor for the
temptations of the flesh that lead us away from
our good judgment. Singleton also points out that
the role of the children as followers of Aslan is
indicative of the manner in which Christ expects
his people to aid him in the good fight against
evil and oppression: Another significant parallel

When we think of the United States we think of

appearing only briefly, the woman who Willy Loman
has an affair with plays a crucial role in the
events that take place throughout the play. She
first appears in a flashback more than
three-fourths the way through the work, and yet
