... 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 ...
... from nature and natural things to what we call a civilized life, or an urban life. In the beginning of the epic poem Gilgamesh, the main character Gilgamesh is conveyed as a generally immoral human, his genesis mythically coming from the gods. “Two thirds they made him god and one third man.” (19, Norton; “Gilgamesh”). He also is said to have a perfect body, which is a trait of godliness in many ancient cultures. “When the gods created Gilgamesh they gave him a perfect body.” (18, Norton; “Gilgamesh). Here again it is obvious that the myth says Gilgamesh is from the same stuff as the gods. He is known for taking whatever he desires “His lus ...
... see her suffer anymore because he recognizes her as his niece, so she wanders the earth for eternity. The woman is the daughter of a demon. Sonia tells Yossi - “ I love you more than anything”, when Yossi asks her if she loves him more than God. Yossi tells her she is a sinner and will end up just like the woman in the story, wandering the earth for eternity, like Cain. Yossi then gives her a fake ruby, which she immediately recognizes and rejects. Perhaps the jewel symbolizes her soul, what makes her complete, and she won’t accept a fraud, something in place of the real thing, even at that young age. The film goes forward a number of years, to when Sonia a ...
... This shows the true kindness of Gilbert, he wants so much, and cares so much for other people, he forgets about himself. Gilbert's 'wants' started from wanting for his family, then his mother, Arnie, Ellen and we get the impression the list would have continued 'wanting' for other people, had Becky not interrupted. Gilbert's good nature is apparent from the very start when he and Arnie are waiting for the caravans to pass through Endora. We can hear Gilbert describe the scene as a 'yearly ritual' in a very tired voice. Yet, we know he is doing it for Arnie. It pleases Arnie so much to see the caravans along the road, and Gilbert feels satisfaction that his ...
... Hamlet seems to have very little control of his emotions. In fact, Hamlet admits this to Horatio, when he says, "Sir, in my heart there was a kind of fighting that would not let me sleep"(5.2 lines 4-5). This lack of restraint leads to Hamlet's unpredictable mood swings throughout the play. Hamlet's relationship with Ophelia easily spawns such dramatic alterations in the prince's attitude. For example, when Hamlet first suspects Ophelia acting only as a pawn for her father Polonius's benefit, he reacts rashly, bitterly denying that he ever loved her. Hamlet said to Ophelia in a very firm and rude manner "You should not have believed me, for virtue cannot s ...
... is to go and " rough it. " The idea and importance of convenience has even been a reason to end one's life. It is convenient because of its quickness to end tough situations. My cousin recently used this excuse. Convenience is not a bad thing, it usually is for the best, but it appears that to modern humanity, the importance of convenience outweighs everything from how many leprechauns you see per day to life itself. There are countless ( actually it is more convenient to just say countless than to actually count ) little household items that seem to be convenient until it wants to create havoc for us. The most obvious is the remote control. Yes, that littl ...
... importance. There are a variety of opinions produced by John Wyndham's characters who cause many conflicts. The main character, David has the strongest beliefs and these beliefs become even stronger as the story develops. Throughout his whole childhood, he has always been taught to honour the Repentances. After he meets Sophie, he thinks that there is nothing wrong with her and that she's harmless for she can definitely not be a mutant. However, in his society she is considered to be a deviation and a mutant, because of her extra toe. From this point on he begins to question the childhood beliefs he was taught to obey. He doesn't realize what their beliefs m ...
... the poem to be read very jumpy and quick, much like how a bird acts while on the ground. Even though the bird is on the ground for a short amount time it still acts cautiously because its natural habitat is in the sky. And the he drank a Dew From a convenient Grass– And then hopped sidewise to the Wall To let a Beetle pass– When the bird finally flies away the poem's flow mimics that of a flying bird, very calm and free "And he unrolled his feathers / And rowed him softer home–". She describes a birds flight like rowing in an ocean, but without all the splashing of the oars. In the first two stanza of the poem she rhymes the second and fourth ...
... within this wooden O the very casques that did affright the air at Agincourt?” (11-14) Branagh chooses to display his single-man chorus walking through a torn-down theater while speaking these words. I do not think he does this to imply the theater is dead, or to say that only film can portray truth in today’s image-based society. Instead, the speech ironically implies the realistic nature of film when the Chorus tells the viewer to “Think, when we talk of horses, that you see them, printing their proud hoofs i’th’ receiving earth…” (26-27). That the viewer will eventually see the actual hoofs entails not the interpretive limitation of film, but in ...
... reminiscing his father's death. Hamlet says, "...How stand I then,/That have father killed, a mother stained,...2". He is asking himself what kind of a person he is if he can allow his father to be murdered and his mother to be married so soon after his father's death to his uncle. This shows us that he is pitying himself and is putting himself down. Yet another example of his emotions running wild are seen in his first soliloquy: ...She married. O, most wicked speed, to post with such dexterity to incestuous sheets! It is not, nor it cannot come to good. But break my heart, for I must hold my tongue! 3 He is telling u ...
