stories long past and their impact on him, such is the haibun written “On the 14th of Eighth Month,” conventionally known as September 27th, 1689. The prose retells the history of Tsuruga Harbor, about the Second Yugyo Shonin and his reclaiming of the bog. After the first line, it is evident that Bashō is detached from the narrative, the focus is primarily the impact of the place on him. This is especially evident in the last line of the poetic prose: “With the holiness of the shrine and the…

We often think of wolves of killing and wasting their food whereas in reality, “About half their meals come from kills, and on average 5 percent of their winter encounters with moose result in kills. The other half of their winter meals are scavenged (animals that died from other causes); the majority of the moose they eat are scavenged. They dig many of the scavenged meals from beneath the snow . . . pg. 87 (Haber & Holleman, 2013). Haber contends “Wolves are master hunters, but by no means are…

In today’s society, it is amazing how diverse people can be within such a close distance. Anthony Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange illustrates how important understanding the social norms are by creating parallels between two chapters. By using varied settings and similar events and images, the author shows how the main character is a fish out of water when thrown into an environment outside of his comfort zone. This essay will describe in depth the parallels between the two chapters and how the…

A wagon surrounded by a light purple aura drove itself on the path out of Las Pegasus. The wagon was currently under a spell, it was to stay on the path until it got to Ghastly Gorge.

associated with the news, as being socially constructed. It is viewed by the news producers and receivers in a different way than the BOG because they normally receive information through a derivative source. Hegemonic meanings associated with news frames can be considered a strong frame. Articles can be used as texts to forge the important relationships between audience views of BOG meetings and create a normative model…

“frog” is used as a metaphor comparing those who want publicity for themselves, in which they belong in their “bog”, in a swamp full of the likes of them. As a belief of New Criticism, aesthetically qualities are favored by its critics, as literary devices such as imagery and metaphor are used. Some of the words of the poem are also capitalized, such as “Nobody”, “Somebody”, “Frog” and “Bog”. The capitalized words are the writer’s intentions to stress the comparisons between herself and the…

The texts I studied, as part of my comparative course, are ''Inside I'm Dancing'' (ID), directed by Damien O'Donnell and ''Sive'' (S) , written by John B. Keane. I examined how relationships can have both positive and negative effects on the protagonists. The parent and child relationship in (S) is between Sive and her aunt, Mena. Sive's parents died when she was a baby, so her uncle Mike and his wife Mena brought her up. Their relationship is negative and it is clear why their relationship is…

Historically, the new prairie was an old agricultural field; the team removed the old plants, sprayed to remove the plants, burned off the older vegetation…

In most areas, the climate is temperate and humid under 2000ft of elevation, and gets colder as the elevation increases. Also, the climate is temperate as the mountains are in very close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. Furthermore, fog is usually present year-round because cold waters from the Labrador Current collide with warm waters from the Gulf Stream. Moreover, the air pushes the…
