Doubt Of Shakespeare's Authorship Of His Plays
Words: 2407 / Pages: 9 .... Cranks have proposed over fifty candidates for authorship, from Queen
Elizabeth to the Jesiuts.
Although many doubt that William Shakespeare ever wrote the works
attributed to him, some still resort to pro-Shakespearean arguments. John
Drinkwater, author and believer, felt that the flowers, banks, brooks, pastures,
and woodlands of Shakespeare's boyhood home, Stratford, were all transfigured in
his plays by his wonderful verse, but yet they still remained the scenes to
which he was bred. Drinkwater believed too, that not only in Shakespeare's

kings, he reflected .....

Comment Paper On Everything Th
Words: 839 / Pages: 4 .... uses to explain Julian is found on page 208. It states, “Most miraculous of all, instead of being blinded by love for her as she was for him, he had cut himself emotionally free of her and could see her with complete objectivity. He was not dominated by his mother.” It is safe to assume Julian is a depressed son, who is perturbed with his mother and her old ways of life.
Complications begin to arise after the reader has a good feel on who the characters are, which then leads to the climax of the story. Tension first arrives between Julian and his mother when Julian moves from sitting next to his mother, to a Negro man on the bus .....

Contrast In Do Not Weep, Maide
Words: 410 / Pages: 2 .... and probably wished that they were dead. Yet, they still thought that they understood what the war was about and what exactly was going on. The soldiers did see that, and more, everyday, everynight, never to not be faced with it.
The phrase "war is kind" is mentioned several times throught out the poem, which is not what most people would use to describe the war. That is probably the reason that the certain phrase was used. By saying that war is kind, it made the reader think, really think, about why would Crane use that phrase about the war. The reader then would figure out that the war wasn't kind, and think of reasons why it wasn't kind .....

Buried Child
Words: 1169 / Pages: 5 .... to it and treating it as his own. "Tilden
was the one who knew. Better than any of us. He’d walk for miles with that kid in his arms. Halie let him take it. All night sometimes." (p. 124) Dodge would not allow this abomination to grow up and live in his family, so he drowned it, and buried it in the backyard. We can guess that this is when the farm ceased to be fertile, and fell into disuse. This is a symbol of the death of honesty and the birth of the family’s terrible secret.
Why exactly does everything go wrong for this family? We don’t know exactly when the problems started, but we know that Ansel died on his honeymoon, Bradley c .....

King Lear
Words: 807 / Pages: 3 .... divided
In three our kingdom, and 'tis our fast intent To shake all cares and business from our age, Conferring them on younger strengths while we Unburdened crawl to death..."
(Act I, Sc i, Ln 38-41)
This gives the reader the first indication of Lear's intent to abdicate his throne. He goes on further to offer pieces of his kingdom to his daughters as a form of reward to his test of love.
"Great rivals in our youngest daughter's love,
Long in our court have made their amorous sojourn,
And here are to be answered. Tell me, my daughters
(Since now we will divest us both of rule, Interest of territory, cares of state), Which of you shall we say .....

To The Snake By Denise Leverto
Words: 1095 / Pages: 4 .... can’t get control of money, instead the want of money is controlling them. This introduces the idea of gambling into the poem. In the poem it says, “…I swore to my companions that certainly you were harmless!”, which is the typical statement of people addicted to gambling. Once again there is the control factor. This person can not control their desire for money and, the means of getting the money, gambling. Another important syntax technique can be seen in line 12. The poem says “…for that joy, which left a long wake of pleasure…” The words “which left” are put on a line alone to dr .....

Lord Of The Flies
Words: 1551 / Pages: 6 .... and destroy it. The airplane crew is killed and the boys are left on their own, with no adult supervision.
At the beginning of the story, we meet the character, Ralph, the protagonist of the novel. Ralph is an example of the ethical citizen, intelligent and responsible but, on many occasions, is caught up in the opinion of others. The leadership that Ralph offers isn’t as stable and organized because he isn’t able to control the “littluns” and the others after a certain point. This is when the society that Ralph tries to create starts to break apart and Jack takes control.
Then immediately comes Piggy, a chubby asthmatic but intellig .....

During A Son S Dangerous Illne
Words: 702 / Pages: 3 .... tommorrow.
It is very evident at the beginning of the poem that the author is coming from personal expierence. The author speaks of how her younger sister passed away and how heartbroken their mother was. Now it seems she is faced with her first born possibly dying in an untimely manner.
Instead of devoting the poem to just simply her pain, anguish, and suffering, she broadens the topic of death and applies it to society and the environment in a way that cause me to reflect. She asks questions regarding what will happen if all life dyies, all creatures, signifing how death effects everyone and has is nondiscriminant in its quest. Questions a .....

The Hidden Story In Green And
Words: 954 / Pages: 4 .... not pursue his dream for getting Daisy back, because his chance has passed and everything is as it should be. This is shown with Nick’s insight, “…His dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him… (Pg.189)”
Another symbolization of the color green, which contradicts the first, is the meaning “go.” As in a traffic light signal, most people associate green with the word and action “go.” This can be interpreted as meaning Gatsby should go for his dream without hesitation. It implies that Gatsby and Daisy are meant to be together and nothing should stop Gatsby f .....

Words: 444 / Pages: 2 .... trickster Loki, who was jealous of Balder, changed his appearance
and asked Frigg if there was absolutely nothing that could harm Balder. Frigg,
suspecting nothing, answered that there was just one thing: a small tree in the
west that was called mistletoe, but she thought it was too small to ask for an
oath. Loki immediately left for the west and returned with the mistletoe. He
tricked Balder's blind twin brother Hod to shoot with a mistletoe fig. Not
knowing what he did, Hod threw the fig, guided by Loki's aim, and Balder fell
dead, pierced through the heart.
While the gods were lamenting over Balder's death, Odin sent his other son
Hermod .....
