.... over someone or something else. When fear is present, power can aid in easing the anxiety by giving the person the emotional lift that is present when control is felt. The power, which is present in the story, is physical power and an example is Norman Bowker carrying a thumb of a boy that had been killed. The carrying of the thumb shows that he had power over the boy; this gives him some relief to know he had that kind of control. Cross’s power, over the rest of the men, increased his fear of death for all the men not just himself because he is responsible for them. With his responsibility, Jimmy Cross alters his behavior to keep all of .....

.... the blast one might assume that it was not as intense. The character’s relationship grows because of the events, for instance the husband throws himself on the wife and child now, she knows that he truly cares for her and that she can trust him. The fact that the husband and wife are willing to sacrifice themselves to save the baby brought them closer together. The relationship’s of the character’s in the story After the Sirens were greatly affect by the setting and plot as shown by the above evidence.

.... says, "What did my foolishness consist of? I was easy to take in" (Singer 1071). He says this meaning that anything that someone says to him he believes to be the truth, no matter how outlandish it may be. His life was full of lies that people told him and it made no difference how many times he was made a fool, he still let on that he believed them. One example, and the one where he vows never to be taken in again, is when a student came by his bakery and yelled to him that the Messiah has come. They claimed his parents were standing at their graves waiting for him to come and Gimpel, although not believing a bit of it, put on his wool vest an .....

.... is the ribbed sea-sand" This terrifying portrayal of the Mariner, adds to the highly-charged emotional intensity of the poem by adding colour to the mental picture, whilst at the same time stressing the unnatural and mysteries nature of the ballad. "With throats unslacked, with black lips baked, We could nor laugh nor wail" The disturbing physical image the Mariner presents is a result of the severe and unrelenting punishment he has sustained due to the shooting of an albatross; a sadistic, wanton act of cruelty, completely without motive. Due to this sin, the Mariner is thrust into the horrors of his penance. In such a way it seems a .....

.... hamartia was his hybris, or his extreme pride. Kreon was a new king, and he would never let anyone prove him wrong or let anyone change his mind once it was made. One main event that showed Kreon’s hamartia and also caused the catastrophe was when he asked his son Haimon, who was engaged to marry , if he still loves his father. Haimon says he respects Kreon’s ruling, but he feels, in this case, that Kreon was wrong. Haimon asks his father to take his advice and not have executed, but, because of Kreon’s hybris, Kreon gets furious and makes the situation worse then it already was. He was way too proud to take advice from someone younger, and .....

.... are on their dark mysterious inside spirit. Dickens also supported the belief that houses represent people. In , Dickens used the houses of the characters to represent the state of the characters spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Mrs. Havisham has been frozen in time just like her house has been frozen in time for the past twenty years. "Mrs. Havisham’s house of darkness, decay, and frozen time …. is a symbol of the spiritual condition of Mrs. Havisham. "(Miller 192) Dickens has been known for using houses as symbols of the characters that lives in the house. "Satis house is an elaborate example of a figurative technique constantly .....

.... picker on his ladder high up in the tree fling as many barrels as he can, but still not filling them all. In addition, to the visual images, Frost then moves on to olfactory imagery. In one very simple line, “ The scent of apples: I am drowsing off� line 8, Frost gives the reader an opportunity to smell apples. As he does not specify the type of apples being picked it is left to the reader’s imagination as to what type of apples he or smells. From olfactory, the author moves on to tactile paired with visual imagery as seen in lines 11-13: I got from looking through a pane of glass I skimmed this morning from the drinking troug .....

.... settings and different resolutions. One obvious similarity is that it is a story about good vs. evil. They also have a main character that has sort of magical powers. In Beowulf, Beowulf is the main character. He is able to defeat powerful monsters, either with his bare hands or a weapon. In Paradise Lost, God is able to defeat Satan by kicking him out of heaven. Both stories are written in a poetic style. These stories both involve main characters being leaders of a group of people. Beowulf is the leader of the Geats. God is the leader of angels of heaven. Another similarity is that they are both based on things that supposedly happened. B .....

.... is driven though his journey beginning with apparent self-confidence and continuing with a vengeful vigor. While reviewing the myth’s fantastic journey, I wondered if Aeneas was great because his fate made him great or was he great because he had the courage and determination to live up to the role fate handed him? There is a side to Aeneas, I noticed that is not very impressive, even when I could almost understand why he feels the way he does. He is sad, tired, always waiting for his father or the gods to tell him what to do. But Aeneas always fulfills his duty to his family, to his country, and to the gods, even when he is depressed. He is .....

.... “[his] father sold [him] while yet [his] tongue/ Could scarcely cry ‘ ‘weep! ‘weep! ‘weep! ‘weep!’” (554). This sympathy allows the reader to realize not only how these children lived, but also how they felt and how they were deprived of their childhood. Blake also uses symbolism to express the evils of exploiting these small boys. Most of this symbolism appears to be about death. This gives the poem a dark mood. For example, Blake writes “So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep” (554). Most of the boys who were sold into chimney sweeping died very young because the soot inhalation de .....
