Finding

The poem “Range-Finding” was written in 1916 by Robert Frost. This poem talks about a battle which by the date one can assume he is talking about World War 1. This poem is about a bullet being shot which hits a person in the chest but focuses on the story behind it and all the many creatures that are affected by the war that is taking place around them. The theme of this poem is war effects all people and creature regardless of if they are directly involved with the war. Robert Frost shows the…

Range Finding is composed of two stanzas, in which consist of unequal lines. (The first stanza consists of 8 lines, while the second stanza has 6.) This consists of 14 line breaks, individually standing alone and telling a story, yet there is no need to pause as if you were reading an end-stopped sentence. Each line Frost has written is a beautiful enjambment of its own. The overall shape of this poem is perceived from more of a conveying meaning rather than a verbal significance. *This poem can…

It was not easy finding the perfect dog for me. In fact, it is a huge surprise that my mom let me get a dog in the first place. Through almost 3 years of begging, building up money from summer jobs, and saving birthday money, my mother finally said yes to getting a puppy. We were not not ready to spend thousands of dollars on a purebred from an expensive breeder so firstly, we visited up the nearest dog shelters. Although there were other grown up dogs in the shelter, my mother said that if I…

I agree quite strongly with Hemingway that age brings increasing difficulty in finding heroes, but that one still needs them. As skepticism increases, the number of people one can admire or hope to emulate decreases. An older person, having more experience and having acquired, one hopes, a more objective and realistic assessment of other people, tends to see more flaws than a younger person might. On the other hand, the older person is likely to recognize and value certain qualities such as…

Finding Neverland is the story of J. M. Barrie, a playwright, who finds inspiration for the play Peter Pan through the four Davies boys and their mother Sylvia. Besides the fact that Johnny Depp is possibly one of the greatest actors of our time, this is a splendid film. Barrie needs inspiration for his next play and finds it while playing with all four of the Davies boys as they use their imagination. The editing in this movie helps show the viewer not only the reality of their pretending but…

directly to the story portrayed in his work, The Old Man and the Sea, yet Hemingway’s influence stretches beyond his personal works immensely, as the theme that seems to always be present in his works can also be found in the film Finding Forrester. The Old Man and the Sea and Finding Forrester, although incredibly different physically, connect similarly to the hearts of those that have experienced their main characters. Santiago and Mr. Forrester are men with strong reputations, although…

Finding Osama bin Laden by Gillespie et al provides a seemingly valid point in their research on the whereabouts of bin Laden. The article provides many statistical data along with the process and results of their research. By using many satellite imagery sources such as Landsat ETM+, Shuttle Radar Topography, and Quickbird, they were able to predict the location of bin Laden by overlaying their findings onto a map, and using a distance-decay model, were able to deduce the probabilities bin…
