Tao The Cat Summary
Tao the cat impressed me with his dependable and audacious personality. According to the author, “ He crouched low to the ground, tensed and ready, and uttered a high, ear-splitting scream; and, as the startled cub turned, the cat sprang.” (pg. 35). This proves that, Tao is brave enough to face dangers and handle animals who are much larger and stronger than him like the bear cub. Throughout the journey, he became more devoted to his friends and risked his life to protect them from any harm because he loved them and wanted them all to survive the journey together. In addition, “ He was almost always hungry, but that skillful hunter the cat kept him provided with food which, while scarcely ever satisfying, was adequate by his new standard

    Summary Of The Book 'Broken China'

    In the book Broken China the author Lori Aurelia Williams brings the reader a novel dealing with a young mother's struggles and much more.

    Han China Book Report

    Last year I had quite an adventure. I wanted to visit Han China but I couldn’t because the Han Dynasty was overthrown nearly 2000 years ago, in the year 220 CE. My solution was to build a time machine. I would tell you how I built it, but I won’t since you might use it to kill your grandfather and mess up reality. Anyways, I went back to the year 100 BCE during the reign of Han Wudi. I went back to this year because under Han Wudi the Han dynasty reached its peak, and I wanted to see the Han China when it was a glorious empire. When I arrived in China the first thing I noticed was a group of Chinese boys playing a sport that looked somewhat similar to a game of soccer. I asked one of them what they were playing…

    The Black Cat Analysis Essay

    "No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its avatar and its seal- the redness and the horror of blood" (1). Edgar Allan Poe was a master of the macabre; his very stories injecting fear into the hearts of his readers. Poe's life was filled with tragedy, as several of the important women in his life, including his wife and daughter died at a young age. He utilized poems and books to express that tragedy. The short stories, "The Black Cat," and, "The Masque of the Red Death," both written by Poe, enhance the theme of fear. "The Black Cat," was about a narrator who had gone crazy and was so overcome by guilt that he went to extreme measures including…

    Under The Lion's Paw Summary

    In Hamlin Garland’s short story, “Under the Lion’s Paw” he expresses realism through imagery and dialogue to bring out the horrors of working under the hands of greed. In the beginning of the short story, the main character Council and his family generously welcome Haskins’ family who are in need of the basic elements of life which are food, shelter, and stability through work and money, to their home. After Council’s warm welcome, it doesn’t take long that the Haskins are also just as hardworking as the Council’s family.

    LTEA 110A Traditional Chinese Stories 2015

    Description: Through reading traditional Chinese stories, we hope to address several critical issues of our time: among them, humanity’s collective ignorance of its own past, growing alienation and tension between China and the rest of the world, and global anxiety over oddities, violence, chaos, and the supernatural in everyday life--four major motifs prevalent in the texts that concern us here. In this course we will read a number of representative short stories from the Han dynasty to the late Qing, to examine ways in which “small talks” and tall tales shape Chinese novelistic discourses and cultural imaginaries. We shall consider how these stories help constitute the essential components for human capabilities development in the pursuit of happiness, drawing on a set of traditional values and concept metaphors like “loyalty,” “filial piety,” “compassion,” and “justice” as the norm. But as we read on, we often find the protagonists to be struggling under most demanding situations, always already tormented by adultery, avarice, betrayal, cruelty, deception, ingratitude, and many sorts of monstrosity. Sometimes, it would be a female ghost, cunning vixen, or a thousand-year old serpent coming to the rescue--or making things worse. Gods and deities seem to have disappeared long ago. Our main objective therefore is to share in class some intricate life lessons, as they testify to Chinese folk wisdoms and practical reasoning in time of crisis. Subgenres like “chuan chi,” “bian wen,” “hua ben,” among others, will be discussed in their historical, philosophical, and trans-regional contexts. Themes include the knight errant, heartless lover, femme fatale, ghost wife, dream adventure, justice, trickster, and so forth. Materials will be in English…

    The Black Cat Annotated

    The narrator is increasing the terror and madness by making the screams scarier. The child cries starts as a soft whimpering sound. It happens so much, escalating “howl” loud and fully mature noise; puts in an “inhuman” howl like it was a beast down in the hole with half terror and half triumph. The madness and terror increases so much that the author questions if the howls are from hell by demons.…

    Hero's Journey

    Many people believe in heroes, who are selfless and willing to sacrifice themselves to benefit others. Heroes also exist in different cultures, and they usually represent courage and adventurous. According to Joseph Campbell’s theory, heroes in stories undergo a process called “The Hero’s Journey”, which is the classic plot structure of heroic stories, in order to achieve great deeds.
