Guzman Section: DMA1 Book: The Lost Symbol Author: Dan Brown “THE EXPOSURE OF CONFUSING MYTHS” I’ve read some of Dan Brown’s books and I must say that I do enjoy his stories and the awesome idea that there could be some huge conspiracy out there that only a few people know about. Dan Brown’s writing could use a bit of revising and he’s not crafting a great literature here but the content of his stories usually makes up for that specifically The Lost Symbol makes no exception. This is

WEEK FIVE- Lincoln and the Lost Cause Last week Lincoln was a patron saint‚ but in this week’s readings‚ anywhere from one to four decades after his assassination‚ the white southerners have denounced him a despot. Never before in our readings have we seen this view of Lincoln discussed‚ and it seems to me that they are blaming everything on Lincoln in order to scape goat all off the problems they had caused (did not want to admit they were at fault). They even go as far to say that Lincoln should

Paradise Lost and Rape of the Lock When we think of an epic poem‚ we rapidly turn our minds to a world of adventures and deeds of heroic or legendary figures. Amongst the greatest epic poems stands John Milton’s Paradise Lost‚ a traditional epic based on the biblical story of the “fall of mankind”. There also exists a form of satire of the classical epic poem that adapts the elevated heroic style to a trivial subject; this is called a mock epic. Alexander Pope wrote by these means the Rape of the

Satan in the Path of the Hero In this paper Satan in Paradise Lost will be put to the test of the path of the hero. People may think Satan would not be considered a hero but does the hero have to be good to be a good character? Even though Satan is evil he follows he Path of the Hero extremely well. Satan is a hero to the rebel angels in the story he is their leader and is considered their hero. Satan in the book became angry when God gave a position to his son when Satan felt that he deserved

Milton’s style was not modified by his subject; what is shown with greater extent in Paradise Lost may be found in Comus. One source of his peculiarity was his familiarity with the Tuscan poets; the disposition of his words is‚ I think‚ frequently Italian; perhaps sometimes combined with other tongues. Of him‚ at last‚ may be said what Jonson says of Spenser‚ that "he wrote no language‚" but has formed what Butler calls a "Babylonish dialect‚" in itself harsh and barbarous‚ but made by exalted genius

Critics abroad have argued about who the hero is of John Milton’s “Paradise Lost:” Satan‚ Adam or Christ‚ the Son? Since Milton’s overall theme stated in the opening lines of Book I is to relate ‘Man’s first disobedience’ and to ‘justify the ways of God to men’‚ Adam must be regarded as the main hero. John M. Steadman supports this view in an essay on “Paradise Lost:” “It is Adam’s action which constitutes the argument of the epic.” Steadman continues: The Son and Satan embody heroic archetypes and
