The song “Baby It’s Cold Outside” was originally written by Frank Loesser but the version I chose was from Glee sung by Kurt and Blaine. This song represents how a holiday like Christmas is supposed to be spent with a person you love and so in the song the singer is talking to someone special and is asking them to stay for a while longer. The poetic devices they use are out there, I really can’t stay, and baby it’s cold outside. The song has a rhythm to it. The song rhymes a lot. There is a meaning to how the rhythm and rhymes are shown in the song.…

A Christmas Carol, written by Charles Dickens, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Suess are very similar. First off, the setting of both stories are related since they take place in small towns and both begin on Christmas Eve and end on Christmas Day. However, the Grinch lived outside of Who-ville while Scrooge lived in his own small town, which is why no one knew of the Grinch and Scrooge’s whole town was familiar with him. This is also a reason why the Grinch strongly despised Christmas and wanted to end it instead of just not celebrating, like Scrooge. The Grinch was very lonely, even with his dog because he was never invited to parties whereas Scrooge was, even though he declined; this shows that Scrooge may not be liked, but at…
As a Marxist, I believe the text undermines the true meaning of the story: “It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight/ It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right”. This line is referencing that there must be a reason why the Grinch doesn’t like Christmas. The perception that everyone favours Christmas because that’s just the way it is, depicts a false consciousness, at the time.…
There always seems to be a person, who is just plain mean, and picks on everyone in his way. In the book Under the Dome by Stephen King, James Rennie, known as “Junior” is this bully. The song I chose to describe Junior You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch, written by Dr. Seuss. The Grinch and Junior share many common traits, and are both not very friendly people. Junior however, may be a bit more violent than The Grinch, as so far he has been responsible for multiple deaths in the book, including two girls who had “bullied” him in school before the dome days. Many people simply would avoid Junior, other than his friends. People would also avoid the Grinch, as he was quite a nasty person.“I wouldn’t touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!”…

Certainly, many believe the Grinch’s heart is identical to mine, and when it comes to Christmas, we share uniform emotions. However, the Grinch and I have unalike reasons for despising the season. As told in “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, no one truly knows why the Grinch hates the entire Christmas season, but my friends know my reasons for hating the season. Sometimes it’s the stress of gifting, the unbearable runny noses, or occasionally the useless gifts I try my hardest to be thankful for. I’m an exceedingly different individual compared to my friends and family, but I am fond of my unique personality.…
The Grinch is believed to hate Christmas because he felt alienated from society due to his nature and strange appearance. He is a green monster whose entire body is covered with bright green fur and comes out of his cave during Christmas to wreak havoc among the residents of Whoville. People always knew that he never wanted to be social during Christmas time. They always told stories of how his shoes where too small to fit, and how his head wasn’t screwed on all the way.…

The “Progressive Era” of the early twentieth century was a period that experienced a widespread of social and political activism and reform. During this time, Progressives sought to terminate industrial and political corruption in order to make the government more efficient, safe, and honest. They tackled child labor, took on the banking system and at the same time, the women’s suffrage movement was on the rise. A distinct similarity between Progressives of the early 1900’s and Progressives of today can be found in their political leaders. Theodore Roosevelt emerged as a national political leader who advocated the breaking of monopolies, fair trade, and pro-labor laws.…
Here are some reasons, the first reason is, in the Christmas carol he made a character named scrooge. Scrooge is supposed to be a bad, cruel, and a rude person. No one likes him in the Christmas carol, everyone is afraid of him. Dickens also created three spirits in the story. Each spirit is supposed to teach Scrooge lessons and his mistakes. The spirits threaten him if he doesn’t change and fix his mistakes. The first spirit took him on a trip into his Christmas past to show him how he acted when he was little. When Scrooge was little his life was filled with joy and happiness but now Scrooge’s life is very dark. The spirit is trying to show Scrooge what is missing in his life. Which is joy and happiness.…
The book Last of the Mohicans is based on a novel by James Fenimore Cooper, and revolves around a clan of Native Americans called the Mohicans. The main characters are Hawkeye, his adopted father Chingachgook, and his adopted brother Uncas. Chingachgook, and his son Uncas, are the last of the Mohican tribe or blood line. The movie is also based on these three characters. The era that both stories take place in is the 18th century during the seven years war between Britain and France. The movie is a romance torn between war and race. The Mohicans along with Hawkeye try to save the daughters of a British colonel, but the conflict arises when Magua of the Hurons attempts to kill the Mohicans and kidnap the two girls. There is also conflict between the relationships of all the characters. The villain in both stories is the same and his name is Magua, who is from the Huron tribe. In the book Magua wants revenge against Col. Munro, by trying to marry one of daughters and hurt his pride, but in the movie he wants and does kill Munro. Magua also begins to…
The story ‘A Christmas Carol’ was written by Charles Dickens in 1843. Dickens was a very popular writer at the time of ‘A Christmas Carol’ is one of his most famous stories today. The main character, Ebenezer Scrooge, is presented as being a very cruel, selfish and harsh man. However, he changes throughout the novella due to significant events. I think the main message Dickens portrayed within the novella was to be loving and generous around Christmas time particularly to those less fortunate. Many people believe this novella has many influences on the way we celebrate Christmas today and some call Dickens ‘the creator of Christmas.’…
Allow me to paint you a picture…. it’s a lazy Sunday afternoon, raindrops are pitter pattering on the windows, and Billy has nothing that he needs to do. So how does he spend all of his free time? Why, he pulls up Netflix and binge watches his favorite TV Show(s)/Movie(s) of course! Pretty normal, right? Now, would you think differently of Billy if he would be playing his favorite video game(s) on his computer for the same amount of time? Hopefully no, but in our society today, it seems that many people are thought of differently for playing video games in their free time while people binge watching Netflix is “normal.” People who avidly play video games in their free time are all too often automatically dubbed a “nerd,”…
