Warm Moon Boulder
271 words
I lie on a boulder in the bottom of a desert
canyon. The boulder has been warmed by the intense
heat of the previous day, and even this far into
the night it retains a certain heat; almost like a
living creature. I absorb the healing warmth,
feeling profoundly relaxed. I am glad to be alive.
On all sides, towering sandstone walls lean over
me; protecting me. Below me is the dry river bed.
Majestic cottonwoods grow along it; their tortured
forms testament to their will to survive. The
green leave...

Sylvia Pursuit In Relation To Henrik Hedda Gabler
1,223 words
In comparing Sylvia Plath's poem Pursuit to Henrik
Ibsen's play Hedda Gabler, one can see many
similarities between their themes of emotional
distress and the destructive tendencies of
unstoppable internal demons. Throughout Pursuit, a
panther hunts Plath, the panther symbolizing an
internal feeling that is literally trapping and
killing her. In the same way, Hedda's own emotions
and actions have ensnared her, and she feels that
her only way of escape is through death. My poem,
Finale closely im...

atmosphere between Torvald and his wife Nora. They

when the reader learns about her true feelings and
her past actions, we can observe that her true
desire is to be free from her husbands
manipulation. The ap...

ultimate meaning behind life, which I will later
address, I believe his thoughts on how one should
live their life to be the wisest of any
philosopher we have studied. First, let me relate

One Has Ever Lied World Where No One Law

When describing a world in which no one has ever
lied, there are several factors and points of view
that may be taken into consideration. Society is

measured. As a result, one could never accurately

Madame Bovary Charles Bovary

Gustave Flaubert presents one extreme side of
human life many would very much rather think does
not exist. He presents a tale of sensual symbolism
within the life of Charles Bovary. Madame Bovary
is the story of Emma Bovary, but within the scope
of symbolic meaning, the make-up of Charles is
addressed. It is representative of deep sadness
and a despondent outlook on life whose many
symbols are, at times, as deeply embedded in the
story line as a thorn in a callous heel. The
