In Homer’s The Odyssey Odysseus can perceived in many different ways from heroic adventurer to a conniving liar. The same goes for Polyphemus. He is referred to as a ruthless brute in the beginning of book 9‚ the quotation I will be using is from the end of chapter 9 lines 490-514 and percives him in a different way. Polyphemus is much more than a heartless monster like he is often thought of as. In my opinion Odysseus is more of a monster than Polyphemus. The passage I chose starts out

love very quickly in Romeo and Juliet. For example‚ Romeo is in love with Rosaline at the start of the play‚ which is presented as an immature action. Today‚ we might use the term “puppy love” to describe this. Romeo’s lover Rosaline is shallow and nobody really believes that it will last‚ including Friar Laurence: Romeo – “Thou chid’st me oft for loving Rosaline” Friar Laurence – “For doting‚ not loving‚ pupil mine”. In the first meeting of Romeo and Juliet‚ Shakespeare uses religion in describing

well-oiled society functioning. In order to act with such objectivity these people must have been deprived of morals‚ beliefs and emotions: in short their humanity. "My dear young friend civilization has absolutely no need of nobility or heroism. These things are symptoms of political inefficiency. In a properly organized society like ours‚ nobody has any opportunities for being noble or heroic. Conditions have got to be thoroughly unstable before the occasion can arise."

Both "In Memory of My Dear Grandchild" by Anne Bradstreet and "Meditaion 8" by Philip Pain express two contrasting point of views in relation to death. Bradstreet’s diction and use of literary elements‚ such as metaphors and alliteration‚ are skillfully arranged throughout the poem which aid in making the theme of dying seem inevitable. Pain uses two different tones to create a turning point in his thoughts about halfway through his poem which gives the reader a better idea of his stages of feelings

25 November 1844 Dublin Dear Father‚ I have always attended your every need‚ and I was there whenever you needed me. I worked hard. I worked hard at home‚ I worked hard at the store and I’ve come to realize; I am not in the bit happy. I am not happy about working this much and I am not happy about what I get for it. Everything is changing‚ everybody’s going somewhere and I am stuck and my life isn’t going anywhere. I remember how my mother used to be. She used to work hard‚ very hard. She sacrificed

virtue was broken‚ and I exchang’d the place of friend for that unmusical harsh-sounding title of whore” (160) She loses all her respect for money and begins to like it. Second‚ Flanders lies about everything to keep her character ensconced so nobody could suspect of who she actually was.

Dear Grandma‚ To me a role model is someone in my life that has influenced me in a positive way. They help shape the way I am in the present and what I will be in the future. They are someone that I can look to for advice in a hard situation and know that they will give me words of wisdom. They will never judge me on my past but only look to help because they really do care about me. Someone who I never feel awkward talking to about my problems because I know that it will not change their opinion

The birds‚ chipmunks‚ and what we called the White-tailed jackrabbit could all be seen and heard‚ but no animals worth hunting made an appearance. Nobody spoke unless absolutely necessary. We all wanted to conserve our energy in order to not need as much food. This tactic was not effective‚ but it gave us comfort.
