this ideal form, as in this representation of the female pharaoh Hatshepsut. Although many of Hatshepsut's statues depict her as the ideal king, the inscriptions always allude to her feminine gender, sometimes by using both masculine and feminine grammatical forms, sometimes by including her personal name, Hatshepsut, which means "foremost of noble women."

The orientation of the poem occurs between stanzas one and three and these introduction stanzas are used to describe the highwayman, his situation with Bess and the setting of the poem. The first stanza is an informing introductory paragraph for the poem because of its spooky, mysterious tone. In the first stanza, there are frequent metaphors used to describe the setting, for example; ‘The road was a ribbon of moonlight, looping the purple moor’ (line 3).

There are many reasons why I write. I write to share information with people. I write to stay in touch with friends and family although this is a rare occurrence; emailing or calling is much quicker. I write to reminisce about events in my life, both the important ones and the insignificant ones. I write in order to share these memories with others. I write so I can have a visual of all my ideas. I write because it is required of me. Sometimes I do not mind and other times I would rather…

Here is a suggestion of the parallel possibilities for Pai. He says that he crosses the wall for the first time. The wall, of course, is the illusion that stands as barrier to the perception of reality, perhaps necessary so long as man belongs to the world, has family and all. The obstacle to the perception of reality is the ego. Once the illusion (ego) vanishes, you become Govindan Nair who could jump over the wall back and forth endlessly absorbing the ecstasy and letting it fall at any place.…

“ To be a human being is to be in a state of tension between your appetites and your dreams and the social realities around you and your obligations to your fellow man( New York Times Company, 2009).” John Updike sought the clash of extremes in everyday dramas of marriage, sex and divorce( New York Times Company, 2009). The detailed fineness of his descriptive language put him in line with painters and other great authors. Updike's longstanding interest in the terrors and pleasures of sex,…

He uses symbolism and powerful diction to paint the picture of how life as an African American really was. “I Have a Dream” is formed in a parallel structure, which means the repetition of the same pattern of words that are similar in grammatical form. Also, the phrase “I have a dream” is a repeated clause that appears throughout the text of the speech. “This speech is also an example of parallelism for emphasis” (Your Dictionary).
