couplet rhyme conspire all through, conjuring the youth rhyming of Guiltlessness. The initial two stanzas are pedantic, offering straightforward lessons in the terrible bases of human ideals. The third stanza starts an account featuring "He" (a kind of Everyman), whose first demonstration is to take a seat and cry. The fourth stanza breaks the strict AABB rhyme design, with "shade" and "head" just scarcely rhyming while "Fly" and "Riddle" just rhyme if read comparatively to "eye" and "Symmetry"…

A soldier is barraged with emotions during a war, that he must avoid in order to survive. War has forced a soldier to become detached, as he must always stay neutral in order to get through the battle. As the soldier observes innocent creatures being destroyed and watches death occur, he must not let this affect him as he has to block it out. In All Quiet on the Western Front, Erich Maria Remarque uses horses and butterflies to represent how war forces soldiers to conceal their emotions, which…

The book The Black Death: The Great Mortality of 1348-1350 is a strong compilation of texts of the plague times. The documents John Aberth collected pieced together a narrative with several views. The section ‘The Artistic Response’ was the most interesting to me, and I was excited to find one of the prompts based on it. I believe that the most important plague-centric themes in the art of medieval society were the Dance of Death and worms. In my essay below, I hope to explain how these themes…

Throughout my career as a student, I never gave much thought as thought as to what was the meaning of history. To me it was the study of past events, the boring ones, the gruesome ones, and the embarrassing ones, but after doing some readings assigned to our class, I think I came up with my own personal definition of history. History is the study of things that happen in the past, the previous day, that present day that could matter tomorrow. To me history is everyday that you live, somewhere…

A universal man, or everyman, is the concept of an individual being admired due to “skills in many fields” instead of their “high birth” status (Universal 1). Possessing the traits of a universal man results in numerous qualities in common with others, thus causing admiration. Throughout Hamlet, Shakespeare develops Hamlet as a universal man not by his royal blood, but rather through the frequent personality fluctuations he displays throughout the many struggles and conflicts he faces,…

Around the time of World War I (1914-1918), women’s right soared to new levels in the United States socially, economically, and politically while men’s presence in these areas declined due to their participation in the wartime effort. The United States entered the wartime effort in 1917, leading to a decline in men’s presence in the American workforce. This absence of men in America’s workforce led to the movement of middle-class and upper-class white women into the workforce transforming the…

aren’t kind at all. Jesus was especially kind. He was a “miracle worker, a benefactor who would bring people what they wanted, a king wielding great power” (“Jesus”). Jesus was the kind of person people wanted around. He was especially kind to everyman. Though the pigs were terrible leaders that lacked kindness, Jesus was a legendary leader that was built on…
