    Diction In Dandelion Wine

    • 427 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Douglas Spaulding, age 12, showcases his magical powers in a short excerpt from Ray Bradbury’s novel Dandelion Wine. Bradbury paints a wizard-like portrait of the young boy by employing mystical diction and equally important comparisons to establish a rampantly magical atmosphere throughout the passage. Bradbury lays the foundation for magic through copious use of magical diction, word choice that reinforces the atmosphere. Lines 35-39 are especially significant because they mention young Douglas racing up “dark spiral stairs” in a “sorcerer’s tower” in order to “perform his ritual magic.” These words are all in the semantic field of magic and sorcery and the fact that Bradbury chose them to describe Douglas’ adventure links the entire episode with mysticism.…

    Gilgamesh Land

    • 671 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Knowing the land, what it has to give, what can be reaped from it is very important, as well as how greatly land can impact a civilization. This idea is elaborated upon in several different tales, tales in both oral and written form that have been passed down through generations and across cultures. The way the land and the environment in each of these tales reflect into the story and characters differ from where the tale originated, but they each share a common understanding. This understanding is explained best, and in a rather blunt fashion, in the tale of Gilgamesh; it is explained that those who know and understand the way the land is created are wise (Gil.,I.1-4). The tale of Gilgamesh elaborates on how wise Gilgamesh actually was.…

    Hi Si, I really like you use of imagery especially with the similes and metaphors.

Somehow the first scene really didn’t make me expect any magical realism. It was a surprise…

    Pelayo's Creation

    Lives are set up as individual universes that contain the set beliefs that constitute the ideas of good and evil, morality and immorality, and justice and injustice in a single person’s mind. This statement reinforces the idea that Pelayo has mastery over his life and therefore the universe which contains the/his world. This is also a personification of nature and alludes to Christian beliefs, that it is God who is sad and sends rains or the other nature disasters because of our sins. The dreary setting does much to set the mood of the story, also note the stark contrast between the “ash-gray” of the sea and the sand which “glimmered like powdered light.”…

    Morrison cleverly uses water to symbolize birth and new beginnings for three different characters. For Denver, water represents her actual birth into the world and living freely without the slavery background at Sweet Home. In Beloved’s case, water represents rebirth and no longer being a ghost who couldn’t truly engage with her family. Sethe’s trip across the Ohio river and water breaking while doing so represents her rebirth into a free world without being in the walls of Sweet Home. Morrison uses water to represent rebirth and freedom statically throughout the entire…

Calculate the following items: Before Home Depot calculates the net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), terminal value (TV), and modified internal rate of return (MIRR) of its newest potential investment project, the company must first calculate its free cash flows.
