    With him there are no happiness points or rolling in of the tides to warn me of imminent danger, therefore there is no transition from pleasurable fertile earth to desolate wasteland. He makes it evident that I am not welcome in his desert, but I take a gamble by treading on. Scorching winds and swirling sands ward off all travelers except me. Though we are supposed to be partners, I’m a naive and lone wanderer. When I look to the hazy horizon to see miles upon miles of arid land I ask myself why I wander around where my voice falls on deaf dunes and where the screaming winds immediately sweep away my footprints from the sand. His desert is searing and unforgiving. In place of rolling currents are swells of sand and lakes dried long ago. Thick clouds are replaced by the endless sky here, offering no protection from the eternal sunlight. My pale skin cracks and dries in such harsh heat. Nevertheless, I can’t be angry with the desert for its lack of water or high temperatures, and I most certainly can’t be angry for having unfulfilled desires for an oasis which will be…

    The mountains were stone dark, secured with trees whose hues were a blend of woodsy cocoa, knoll, key lime, and margarita green. Scattered powder-puff mists gradually fled over the sky and the sun feed like a bolt. Seeing this made me feel like I inadvertently touched base to paradise. I breath gradually, attempting to recall each snapshot of me being encompassed by woodland, sky, and mountains. We began climbing the gigantic mountain, talking, grinning and chuckling together. After like an hour we sat down for a moment on an immense uneven and dusty rock close to the waterfall. The wind that blew through the trees into our confronts now conveyed a light sprinkle from the waterfall, and a clue of peace. The sound of the wind shrieking, the waterfall smashing against the stones and the fowls singing their wonderful tunes, made me feel considerably more joyful than I was at that point. We began moving to the top once more. My legs began to hurt yet I didn't give an indication of my torment. I raised my eyes to the sky, and my sight fell on the hawk who skimmed over the wind. At that time, I craved flying as well, over the mountains and over the oceans. I strolled slower now, thinking how brilliant it would be to fly, and the greater part of the…

    “The Inferno” is an epic poem following the journey of Dante a mortal man who was guided through the many circles of Hell. Through his experiences he learns that divine retribution is pure justice of God; for all the punishment the tormented souls endure in Hell corresponds to whatever sins they have committed in life. Every circle in hell has an assigned punishment for the corresponding sinners within them. At the beginning of Dante’s journey he was horrified and felt pity and compassion toward the tortured souls he encountered. Through his journey Dante’s attitude changes from pity and compassion to ridiculing and wishing more punishment of divine retribution upon the sinners within the circles of hell. Through my essay I will discuss cantos V, VIII, and XXXII.…

This voyage Dante takes his readers on is one of uncertainty, ambivalence and inconstancy, as if we are touring an encyclopedia to increase this circle of knowledge.…
