Throughout British history, there have been a multitude of events which radically changed the country and its people. One of these events, World War I, has influenced British literature and the authors, such as Rupert Brooke, giving lead to different themes and ideas. While Rupert Brooke started his career writing joyful poetry, his role as a soldier in World War I influenced his writing to focus on honorable sacrifice. Rupert Brooke was not unlike most authors before the war and wrote poems…

“So I lived my life alone , without anyone I could really talk to…” Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is a French pilot and essayist, a genuine hero who took a gander at experience and threat with artist's eyes －sometimes from the perspective of a child. Saint-Exupéry's most well known work is The Little Prince (1943), with his own delineations. It has turned into one of the classics of childrens' writing of the twentieth century. In any case, this novel is not a tale for kids yet for grown-ups…

Book Review Theodore Rex is the second book in the series by Edmund Morris, “The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt”. “Theodore Rex” was published in 2001 despite the first books launch almost 20 years earlier. The gap between those books is so large because Morris spent most of his time working on his memoir of Ronald Regan. Edmund Morris’s “Theodore Rex” starts off with the death of President William McKinley and the inauguration on Theodore Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt receives his presidency.…

The figurative language so artfully embedded in “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” furthers the at times almost tangible sense of the passing of time as the speaker lays out his story as if he were setting the table for a meal. One such instance presents itself when, in the first stanza, the speaker unceremoniously lays out the initial setting, saying, “When the evening is spread out against the sky / Like a patient etherized upon a table” (2-3). This simile places the poem in a peaceful…

Castaway assessment 1. To critique the film castaway I would say that they do not show enough of what he had to do to survive for the 4 years on the island they showed him catching a few fish and the showed him cracking coconuts, but they never showed him trying to catch any animals or setting any traps that he might find on an island. Also, I would have a little bit more of the time that they were having at home searching for him or at his funeral. They just showed him at the island for the…

The early modern period, with its political uncertainties, religious turmoil, and social changes, was a time of great instability and unpredictability for many members of English society. Feeling dejected and despairing of their lot in life, many men and women in the Elizabethan and Jacobean ages found themselves powerless to fight against fortune and fate, forces which appeared to rule the world as they knew it. Stephen Greenblatt’s “Shakespeare’s World” depicts the hardships and struggles of…

wrote, “‘Your mother wants you to come down and see her,” the doctor said’ (27). Hemmingway proceeded to illustrated the following scene: “’I want to go with you,” Nick said. His father looked down at him’ (27). At the beginning of the encounter, Hemingway refers to Nick’s father as the doctor. This is significant because Adams was upset with Nick for reading a book. When Nick tells his dad that he wants to go hunting with his father, then Nick Adams Sr.’s title changes from “the Doctor” to “his…
