had fallen into conversation with the affinity marketer (beard‚ plaid flannel shirt‚ vintage work boots) in the lobby of the Wythe hotel in Williamsburg‚ a beehive of instrument-bearing musicians‚ nose-pierced locals and twentysomethings who use the word “ridiculous” in nonpejorative contexts. I guessed aloud‚ “So‚ like‚ if I buy a pair of shoes‚ then you’ll try to sell me socks?” The affinity marketer smiled and said: “Or maybe something bigger‚ like flooring.

A somewhat topsy-turvy presentation is evident throughout this play: Dogberry and the Watch are very much the “third string” to this play’s bow‚ and yet have captured the greatest place in public imagination. Likewise‚ on the romantic front‚ we may say that it is the second-bow players who have the next most prominent place in people’s minds; for even though the play is essentially about the love affair between Claudio and Hero (the first string to the bow)‚ many play-goers come away with a clearer

Comment on the Narrative Methods used in Part 1 of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Part one of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner opens with a third person omniscient narrator: ‘It is an ancient Marinere‚ And he stoppeth one of three.’ This person represents Coleridge as he knows everything that is happening in the poem‚ and he is setting the scene for the rest of the lyrical ballad. Other people may take the view that the omniscient narrator represents God‚ as he is seen by religious people as the

I shuffled off the bus and onto the dry‚ cracked ground. It was then that I met our river guide‚ Glade‚ a man with golden hair and a beard that reached down to his chest. He spoke with a Californian surfer lingo and had a humorous expression. Behind that expression was something else. Wisdom. The most one could have at his age‚ too. He not only knew the name of every rapid if it had

theft and every other major sin is a variation of theft and "when you tell a lie‚ you steal a man’s right to the truth". The attitude towards drinking was that it was a sin and those who did drink did so in private out of respect. "Piss on the beards of beards of those self righteous monkeys. They do nothing but thumb their rosaries and recite a book written in tongue they don’t even understand. God help us all if Afghanistan ever falls into their hands".

I fear this essay may come off a bit choppy due to the fact that while reading “The Cathedral” by Raymond Carver I had a lot of different questions and thoughts running through my head. The first thing I noticed was that the narrator never really uses names and that confused me. Making the story difficult to navigate and raising the question‚ why leave character names a mystery until later? What purpose does it serve? We never learn the names of the narrator‚ the wife or the officer‚ most of the
