Dante
Words: 865 / Pages: 4 .... 36) must spend their eternity. In Canto IV, awakens and finds himself "upon the brink of grief's abysmal valley" (ln 8). This is the first level of hell, known as Limbo. Here, the virtuous non Christians dwell. This is the circle that Virgil resides in. The shades that belong to this circle have not sinned, but are condemned to hell because they have not been baptized or came before Christ's birth. They receive no pain from their punishment. Yet, they must live without ever seeing God. This random condemnation rubs me the wrong way because it condems people for events out of their control, their birth. It also condems them for not being baptised whi .....

Taronga - Victor Kelleher
Words: 1606 / Pages: 6 .... Ben is constructed as being quiet and submissive, such as the fact that he stayed for a long time and put up with Greg using him for his telepathic gift, before finally coming into his own and running away. This is another example of Ben's submissiveness - he chose to sneak away from Greg quietly in the dead of the night, instead of a fight or a loud confrontation. He is also a humanitarian, as he cares for other animals, even when killing them. This reinforces my attitudes and views on heroes, as I believe that most true heroes are quiet, usually introverted, and do things to make the community better - often without receiving the recognitio .....

understand or experience the same feelings that Vladimir and Estragon are
experiencing. Vladimir and Estragon are waiting; waiting for Godot, to be
exact; and Beckett wants the reader to fee .....

The Scarlet Letter: A Review
Words: 2198 / Pages: 8 .... on a
personal level and connecting with experiences; the other part of
literature for me is the test of time consisting of whether the text has
been taken in by other people. After all, it isn't one person that turns a
story into a classic; the same should be said of literature. Rosenblat
said the same idea better than I: "Keeping the live process of the
literary experience before us, I shall attempt to look more deeply into the
nature of the literary experience, and to explore implications for problems
of literary theory. . ." I think that Rosenblat would agree with me that
it might not be literature in my own sense, but on the larger sc .....
