However, Birrell’s seems to believe that Norman…

    Though there are three different accounts of the Lord’s Last Supper in the bible—written by Matthew, Luke, and John—each record share common threads. Specifically speaking, the scriptures all express Jesus’ desire for people to, through the symbols of bread and wine, receive his body and blood in remembrance of him. In other words, through this symbolic and orderly process, all accounts show that Jesus wants his followers to remember the sacrifice he made: die on the cross to pay for mankind’s sins. Ultimately, I found these accounts to show Jesus suggesting a redemptive nature of his death.…

    Conflicts are often started by the utilization of labels. By labeling a certain person or calling them a name it is essentially grouping them into a larger idea or force. In the film Empire of the Sun directed by Steven Spielberg and the novel When the Emperor Was Divine by Julie Otsuka the main characters struggle with identifying which side of World War II they are supposed to be aligned with. The protagonists from both of the works experience a moment where the line between good and bad is extremely thin.

    “Whoso list to hunt” is a Petrarch sonnet with fourteen lines written in iambic pentameter. It follows an abbaabba cddc ee rhyme scheme (Wyatt 649) instead of traditional Petrarch rhyme scheme of abbaabba cde cde (Petrarch 337). Wyatt’s poem is loosely based off of Petrarch’s original sonnet “Una candida cerva”. Both sonnets are about unattainable women and use the allusion of a doe to describe their encounter. In both poems the doe is adorned with jewels around its neck marking it as someone else’s. With that being said, the similarities between the two poems end there.…

    Whoso List to Hunt is a poem about Wyatt longing for a woman rumored to be Anne Boleyn. He refers to his attempts to swoon Boleyn as a “hunt” because in the fifteenth century, men did not only hunt solely to put food on the table to provide for their families. Especially in the case of Wyatt because he was a courtier of rank and not a peasant, he hunted for the thrill of the chase. But although Wyatt speaks of the hunt for Boleyn favorably, he claims to have become weary of the chase and he can no longer keep up with his comrades. “I am of them the farthest cometh behind.” (4) He longs to trap Boleyn, but he knows he will not win and is wasting his time as well as any other courtier after her. Wyatt foresees his loss because Boleyn has set her eyes on a bigger prize, the King of England, and has attracted the king’s attention as well. “Touch me not, for Caesar’s I am.” (13) Leaving Wyatt in the dust although he still lusts for her.…
