... say, his shirt open in front), his dirty socks crunched down, and pale and knock-kneed, "as if he had been loosèd out of hell / to speak of horrors." Or, as might say, "as if he'd seen a ghost." Hamlet grabbed her wrist, stared at her face, sighed, let her go, and walked out the door backwards. What's happened? Hamlet, who has set about to feign mental illness, is actually just acting on his own very genuine feelings. Hamlet cares very much about Ophelia. He must have hoped for a happy life with her. Now it is painfully obvious that they are both prisoners of a system that will never allow them to have the happiness that they should. When Hamlet act like a flesh-a ...
... being the honorable warrior, he refused to leave his side. Beowulf fought off monsters in the oceans deep, protecting Breca from the “grisly sea beasts.” (430) Beowulf’s morality came also in the form of loyalty to people and his word. Loyalty to his father remained throughout the epic. On numerous occasions he boasted of his father, Ecgtheow, who “was famous in many a folk-land,” (195) thus immortalizing his name. Promises made by Beowulf were worth their weight in gold. His reputation grew as an honest and loyal man. After Beowulf’s promise to slay mother Grendel, Hrothgard “gave thanks to God/ for the heartening words the hero had spoken.” ...
... and disagree all the time. The Summer Night In this part, it describes a night on Mars when everyone starts singing and humming an alien song. This was a little weird. I was wondering how this song got into their minds. The Earth Men This story tells about people from Earth landing on Mars. The Martians give them a hard time as if they were not from Earth. This was later explained when they were thrown into a mental institution. They later showed the doctor their rocket, but he thought the men were telepathic so he killed them and later killed himself. I was amused to see what the Martians reactions were. They all did not care as if it were a jo ...
... he could (Page 50). Buck could not have moved the sled if he didn't love John. Manuel shows his love for money by selling Buck, the family dog. "He loved to play Chinese lottery" (Page 2). If he didn't love to play lottery Buck might still live in California. Manuel is the gardener for the family and the first person who sold Buck. Buck shows his love for leadership by fighting with Spitz. "The dominant primortal beast was stong in Buck" (Page 15). If Buck didn't want to be leader Spitz might still be alive because Buck never fought with anyone unless he had to. Spitz was the leader of the pack until Buck killed him. The many different settings helped every ...
... He simply is torn between what he feels is a responsibility, and the many parts of his fear. Afraid of not upholding his pride, afraid of dying in a, "[war that] was wrongly conceived and poorly justified," (Combat, 29), and crippled by, "Doubts...hedged all this: I had neither the expertise nor the wisdom to synthesize answers..." (Combat, 29), the character simply is paralyzed by fear, and because of this, gets on the draftee bus without really having made a decision. It was an intellectual and physical stand-off, and I did not have the energy to see it to an end. I did not want to be a soldier, not even a observer to war. But neither did I want to upset a p ...
... that the elimination of the gray wolf was not only an error, but also a detriment to the quality of life in this country. There has been a public outcry to rectify the situation created by the ignorance of our ancestors. However, in seeking to address a situation created by the human compulsion to control nature, it is crucial to discern how much human interference is necessary. Human control must be tempered by respect and restraint. Programs designed for the protection and restoration of wildlife must reflect deference for the natural order rather than dominance over it. The consequences of human actions involving the elimination of the gray wolf have been ...
... their attempt to get home, even more difficult. After stabbing Polyphemus in his eye and blinding him, Odysseus provoked and harassed the Cyclops, which angered him immensely. “ Cyclops, if ever mortal man inquire how you were put to shame and blinded, tell him Odysseus, raider of cities, took your eye: Laertes’ son whose home’s on Ithaca”, shouted Odysseus to the crippled Polyphemus, which was not very smart. If Odysseus had not told the Cyclops this incriminating information, he would have had a much safer journey. Polyphemus begged his father Poseidon, god of earthquake, to curse Odysseus. The Cyclops cried out to his father to prevent O ...
... in Bilbo, he declines the treasure. It is offered to him since a promise was made in the beginning for him to receive and equal portion of the riches. He refuses the treasure because he feels that the most precious possession he has is the friendship with the dwarfs and others that he encounters along the way. Also, Bilbo enjoys near death experiences and thrills that accompany the quest for the mountain. Although, from Bilbo’s words, he makes it seem as if the only reason he does not take the treasure home is that his pony will only carry two chests. Bilbo also thinks he did enough harm and becomes weary. He just wants to be back in his bit-hole. What use would ...
... today? I would imagine the answer to that question is that life is what you make it! If old Phoenix Jackson had not cared so much for her little grandson, she would have given up the long trip to town a long time ago. But because she loved her grandson very much, she made regular trips down the worn path. The hardships she came across along the way made her life more interesting. As the Author writes in the story, old people talk to themselves. The trips down the worn path give Phoenix many things to talk to her self about during the long journey. The exercise keeps her strong and the love for her grandson keeps her on the right path. This picture alo ...

Otherwise it reminded me of my Dogs (not that are like but the bond we have together.) When Weedon saved made me feel like I'm the same way. Also when protected the Scott's reminded me of how my dogs would probably do the same thing because they are very protective. My dogs are very important to me just like was to Weedon. The book w ...
