Instead of the man using common sense and advice from a more experienced person, he chose his own pride and found out in the end he was wrong. “In his visionary apostrophe to the old-timer, the dying man admits that he was wrong. “This is the moral crux of the story, where right and wrong are established by the chechaquo’s “deathbed” confession.” (Haddon 6). Another analysist suggests, “Because of his death,…

The freedom fighter Mahatma Gandhi declared that, “Where there is love there is life.” People throughout centuries have wrote about love and it is the topic of the majority of songs, books and movies. In “Eros” Robert Bridges questions the thoughts of an attractive Eros, the master matchmaker, also known as Cupid. Anne Stevenson’s “Eros” provides a different perspective on the popular God by describing him as hideous. Bridges describes an attractive God and Stevenson describes a God who is…

no valid reasons so I assume that they are stupid, unconscious and awful people. However, a few people would say that they are really good because they did for Allah as revenge. For them, that’s a valid reason to kill “innocent” people. I put the apostrophe because I think they were innocent but for them, they were not. They were not because their countries insulted their prophet. We could ask ourselves, who is right? We can’t know who has the truth because our reasoning is influenced by our…

The word “river” is repeated in almost every chapter, at least eight times per chapter. The river is given a more profound role by Mark Twain in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The river plays the role as a type of gateway towards freedom, for not just Jim, but for Huck as well. Both main characters struggled with a type of enslavement. Jim, an African-American who is an actual slave to Americans– and Huck: a slave to his father and caregivers, Widow Douglas and Miss Watson. Additionally,…

Stupid Sweetness Preston and I have an interesting relationship. We could not be more different, but we also could not be more similar(paradox). He is more outgoing and loud, I am more quiet; he says his opinions and doesn’t care what others think, I am more reserved and like to please people. In contrast, we both act so stupid when we’re together, both have the same humor, and both have the best time together. One big moment does not define our relationship; instead, many different and special…

the time and place for the poem. Heaney opens the poem with four lines of environmental description to set the mood. The opening of the poem, “To-night, a first movement, a pulse,” (1) is suspenseful because of the dashes in “To-night” and three apostrophes to break up the phrase.

In the next few lines, Heaney describes “a bog-burst” (3), painting an image of…
