Graveyard

William Shakespeare, the theme of death is heavy through the entire act. It starts in a graveyard, which are known for their presence of death, because that’s where the dead are buried. The theme of death is prevalent in the graveyard scene, also how heavy the death of Ophelia is through the rest of this act, and lastly the death of the beloved Hamlet. First of all, the starting scene of act five is in a graveyard, and this itself has death everywhere. The scene begins with two gravediggers,…

Joseph Campbell’s monomyth theory is evident within J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book as the notion of the “special world” (Vogler 10) is glorified through contrast in relation to the core themes of the texts. Within both novels, the protagonists are only able to truly experience the themes of family, belonging and the supernatural whilst in the special world, placing an emphasis on this realm. Furthermore, contrast is consistently…

Disused Graveyard by Robert Frost, the speaker is unknown. This is because the poet does not give any clues whatsoever about who the poet is. Also, there is not any specific occasion happening here. You can tell this because the persona is portraying a feeling rather than describing a specific occasion. The time of the poem is not stated, rendering it not important to the poem. The poem takes place in a sullen graveyard that is not used anymore. For example the poem states, “The graveyard…

In the novel The Graveyard Book, I would add another living boy that had resided in the graveyard 50 years prior to Bod’s arrival. Nothing would change at first with the narrative, except there would be skepticism and fear among some of the inhabitants that do not want Bod to be a repeat of “last time”. What this means can be open to interpretation at first. As time progresses, however, Bod eventually overhears a couple ghost talking about preventing another “Bod”. He wants to figure out…

ways as to why that particular kind of humor is being used. We see that through these stories, there is morbid humor, satire, ribald humor, irony, hyperbole, exaggeration, and self-depreciating humor.

Listening to this story brought nostalgia back to the one time I went to a stand-up comedian show. This style is known as stand-up humor. In this style, the comedian will often use…

one day and unfortunately, it is something we have no control over. All authors have different literary elements that they incorporate in their poems to demonstrate a theme or a message. In John Updike’s “Dog’s Death” and Robert Morgan’s “Mountain Graveyard” they both reveal how death is inevitable, however one poem is dependent on imagery and the other is completely dependent on structure. Updike’s poem consists of a lot of imagery. As the dog is being described as “too young to know much”,…

It takes a village (or maybe a graveyard) to raise a child. This is a theme in The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, and this theme sticks to the book like magnet throughout the whole story. To explain, Bod was not only raised by his parents, but almost everyone he knew in the graveyard. First were the parents, which are necessary in a child’s life, “Mr. and Mrs. Owens will be his parents,” (Gaiman 23). Every child must have one to talk to and have someone who cares about them, just like Mr. and…
