of games”. “Master Cat,” presented the “Cat” to act very formal and have similar behavior as if comparing to a prince. “Upon entering, bowed deeply to the king and said.“I am presenting you with a rabbit from my lord, the Marquis de Carabas”. Anthropomorphism is presented in trickster tales, not only does it represent giving mythical characters human characteristics, but rather to fabricate a comparison between a mythical character and how they act, to provide characteristics similar to living…

Emotional Beings Humans are very complicated beings, but is it possible for a human to connect to a dinosaurs? Or for a dinosaur to have human emotions? A story telling the tale of 2 lighthouse workers and an estranged dinosaur proves that it is indeed very possible. Ray Bradbury’s short story “The Foghorn” uses the topics of loneliness, a symbolic dinosaur, love & loss, and the central conflict of person vs. society to show the complexity of any being with human thoughts and their capacity for…

Although the “ocean” in Stanislaw Lem’s Solaris, may seem like just another alien concept, it is representative of much more. The ocean's complex functions have very striking similarities to the processes of natural selection.

After the exiles and conspired murders, the dogs…

William Blake’s five-stanza poem “The fly” tries to see humanity in a fly. It narrates the poet’s act of thoughtlessness in brushing away a fly which leads to the contemplation of the act and its implications, which further reveals the essence of life as “thought is life” and the lack of it, death. As the stanzas proceed from observation，contemplation, and conclusion to revelation and liberation, I get an understanding of Blake’s philosophical system. In my essay, I will argue that Blake uses a…

Desjardins and Fernald (2010) wanted to discover whether fighting an opponent is similar to fighting a mirror image. These male fish are territorial and tend to engage in fighting when they encounter another size-matched male. Thus, Desjardins and Fernald (2010) measured differences in behavioral, hormonal and brain activity between the different conditions.

The poets, Gwen Harwood, Geoff Goodfellow and Judith Wright, all explore the idea of “individuals and those they love” using imagery and form. Through female perspectives, each poet presents how loving another person can cause a conflict of interests, between wanting a fulfilling relationship and the inevitable pain and suffering that accompanies it. Imagery is used to illustrate how daily hardships can overpower an individual’s ability to love people close to them, resulting in conflicted…
