    The Worm By Gary Paulen Summary

    Response So, the language these authors use in this situation is really amplifying the feelings in which the character is disliking the food that they are eating. In "The Worm", it says in stanza 4, "I didn't like the taste a bit, so I didn't swallow it." Instead of saying, I didn't like the worm so I spit it out, or something like that which would sound blander than what the author really used.…

    In Richard Wagamese's "All My Relations" passage. "By virtue of its being, all things are vital, necessary and a part of the grand whole, because unity cannot exist where exclusion is allowed to happen" dives into ideas of respect, the connection of all things and the roles of all life forms. Through this text we can gain an understanding of how respect is represented and thought in indigenous communities and its culture as a whole. This part of the text expresses that all things are a necessity in order for all things to function.

    The Dragon In Grendel's Ethical For Meaning

    According to the dragon in Grendel, it is ethical for humans to place value on the life of another creature since nothing in the entire universe has any true meaning or value. In chapter five of Grendel, the dragon tells Grendel that “In a billion billion billion years, everything will have come and gone several times, in various forms… Meaningless, however. These jugs and pebbles, everything, these too will go” (Gardner 70). The dragon clearly believes nothing in the universe has a meaning or a purpose; everything just exists. Therefore, the dragon says, it is ethical for humans to place value on other creatures because the value they place on those creatures is meaningless – simply an illusion created by humans to make sense out of the universe.…

    The Master By William Craft Sparknotes

    William Craft’s use of the word master through out the narrative challenges the natural order of the master/slave relationship in the south. I believe that Craft challenges this natural order because when Craft and his wife Ellen were making their thousand-mile journey to freedom William would call Ellen master. William would call his wife master because she was disguised as a white male and William was playing the role of the slave. This challenges the order of the master/slave relationship because it shows how weak the relationship between the masters and slaves were. Since, a slave white women could dress up in a disguise and act like a master of a slave then the slaves have broken the so called natural order of the master/slave relationship and proved that the masters have no more power over them than anyone else.…

    Grendel And The Dragon Analysis

    Meanwhile this can be followed by the idea of hope for the world that lies within Grendel. This hope provides evidence for Grendel’s lack of damnable intentions. This is demonstrated during his time spent with the dragon, pages fifty-seven through seventy-four. The dragon is largely selfish and nihilistic, however Grendel refuses to believe the negativity presented by the dragon. On page seventy, one may read the dragon speaking of all of the world being consigned to oblivion. That is, he states that eventually all current occurrences will be meaningless. “You don't know that!” Grendel simply debates. Additionally, page seventy-one the dragon is speaks of the little to no effect that even an apocalyptic age would have on the world over time.…

    Dragon By John Gardner: Summary

    The short story, “Dragon, Dragon”, by John Gardner, shows readers that when you listen to your elders, you will have a better chance of succeeding than not listening to your elders and failing.

If I say something like that to the dragon, he will eat me up in an instant” (209).
