... created, why is the sky blue, why do someone go splat when they jump off a cliff, how certain customs work, and other such topics. Almost all cultures possess or at one time possessed and lived in terms of myths. Myths are different from fairy tales in that they refer to a time that is different from ordinary time. The time sequence of myth takes place usually in; an other time, the time before the world came into being, long before there was man, or long ago in a far away galaxy. Because myths refer to strange times and places, and to gods and other supernatural beings, they have usually been seen as aspects of religion. In the following paragraphs I, Scott Hua ...
... words, clap so that the sails of the boats his friends are riding in will be safely returned and Prospero can be "relieved by prayer" of the audience. All of what Prospero has said is very nice cute, but the most interesting part of this monologue is what Shakespeare himself is saying. "Now that my charms are all o'erthrown, and what strength I have's mine own" means, now my plays are over, and it's no longer my characters speaking. The "Island" or stage Shakespeare is on is now "bare" and it is time for "you" the audience to release Shakespeare and his actors from this play with the "help of [y]our good hands." Shakespeare was not only being relea ...
... Using the principles of Zen Buddhism and the ideals of the Lakota Sioux warrior, Phil Jackson teaches his players how to work hard even when the spotlight is on someone else. The book continues on subjects like religion, spirituality, and unity among the team and with ones self. These were all new concepts for me. Though I embraced the ideas, I was skeptical of the practice. It was not until I read the book that I realized that the practice of these concepts could be as easy and much more unstructured then I previously had thought. Dynamic Thoughts of Sacred Hoops In this section of the report I will attempt to incorporate some of the leanings taught throu ...
... stolen, his life becomes meaningful, joyous, and new emotions are evoked from him. "Silas pressed [the child] to him, and almost unconsciously uttered sounds of hushing tenderness…" (167) Eppie becomes Silas's treasure in life. Silas rears up Eppie as his own child and his life never becomes bleak again. Life just comes with hardships and treasures. You can't have one without the other. In Charles Dickens's Nicholas Nickleby, the title character is subjected to a difficult life. As the novel progresses however, Nicholas's life becomes more bearable and in the end, he receives one of the greatest treasures of life, love. To live a difficult life makes the good ...
... be an attempt to convey that people in the future will be more concerned with themselves than the world as a whole. The second theme is the change away from traditional ways that occupies the speaker's mind. It is as though the traditional ways are a rope that the speaker feels is beginning to fray. As the rope of tradition frays, a new rope will be created (modernity) that provides a different route to climb through life. People will continue to climb the rope of tradition until only one strand of the rope is left to support the very few people left clinging to the old ways while the new rope continues to be strengthened allowing more people to climb it. ...
... that the theme may be elevated. In Edith Wharton’s , Wharton first presents Starkfield as a cheery uplifting town saying, ‘The winter morning was clear as a crystal. The sunrise burned red in a pure sky, the shadows on the rim of the wood-lot were darkly blue, and beyond the white scintillating fields of far-off forest hung like smoke.’(pg.41) It also seems that whenever Mattie is around, Ethan’s view of the world improves. This is shown on his walk home from the church social with Mattie when the narration states, ‘The night was so still that they heard the frozen snow crackle beneath their feet. The crash of a loaded branch falling far off in the wo ...
... of a dirt road. As for their lengths, widths, and shapes, streets are very different. Streets may be miles long or only a hundred feet. Streets often connect to other streets, or they can be dead ends, leading to nothing but tees and houses. What a street leads to also affects the amount of activity the street has. When a street ends with only houses, as in a neighborhood, often the travelers on the road live there. Therefore, main streets and routes have much more activity because they lead to places. Each of these factors determines the form of a functioning street. Streets also have uses and purposes, mostly for the local community. People build houses a ...
... clipboard or briefcase. The fear that he “earns” is more prevalent than the respect that the students and teachers have for him. He likes to be known as “HNIC” – the “head nigger in charge.” His absurd manners are strongly disliked by his fellow colleagues. He insults teachers in front of students and fires them when they do not comply with his harsh rules. The first disturbing aspect of this movie is Joe Clark’s personality; although he changes around the school, he does it in a bizarre and vicious manner. Another bizarre aspect of the movie is how the director, ---, portrays East Side High. After there is a time change from the 60s to the 80s ...
... unqualified repentance and realization of the true goodness of things divine. The Sirens are familiar literary characters from Greek mythology; they are most recognized as one of the many perils Odysseus encounters in Homer's Odyssey. As Circe explains to Odysseus before he sets out for home, "You will come first of all to the Sirens, who are enchanters / of all mankind and whoever comes their way…/ They sit in their meadow, but the beach before it is piled with boneheaps / of men now rotted away, and the skins shrivel upon them" (Homer 12.39-50). Odysseus chooses to listen to their sweet song as his boat passes their island, and, were it not that he were bou ...
