Grim Reaper

I enjoy reading because it’s something that takes my mind off everything going on around me, at home and in school. I’ll admit, I don’t read as much as I used to a few years ago, but I still find time to find a book to indulge in from time to time. One of the main reasons I don’t read as much as I used to is for the fact that I just have found more excitement in working on animations, drawing, games...But nevermind that, this paper isn’t about my hobbies. I mostly find horror and fantasy books…

The setting of the 12 step program is used as a type of confessional. The fact that the Grim Reaper is say “I, too..” in his comment bubble makes it known that the rest of the people within the group are making the same actions. In an actual AA 12 step program they make you introduce yourself to the group, in this case “Justice” was presenting…

of the walls of gas rolling across the trenches in deadly silence, after all what need Death fear of such mortal things? No, it was my sixth sense, a trait shared among all reapers, that my target was near by. Settling upon the ground and observing the bleak landscape of no man’s land, I could see a multitude of other Reapers going about their work like silent shades amongst the dead and dying in the trenches. Scenes painted by wars such as this one made busy work days for the likes of we…

School pushes us and makes us go through tremendous amounts of work. All through the school year we are constantly put through paper after paper and assignment after assignment. That is just what high school is though, it teaches us lessons we could not learn anywhere else. In Mr. McGee’s class especially pushes us because of his overload of work that we are given. Still his class prepares you for the next level of education in college. Throughout high school there have been three ways to…

The idea of Death will usually encompass a grim reaper taking someone’s life. However, in “Because I Could Not Stop For Death,” by Emily Dickinson, figurative language like personification is used to portray Death as a well-mannered person. The poem revolves around the idea that Death is taking her to eternity. Dickinson also uses various symbols with personification to help impart her message that Death is an assured occurrence. Additionally, Robert Frost uses symbolism in his poem, “Fire…

Symbolism is a literary device that plays a big part in making a piece of poetry more interesting, well, it at least helps to catch the reader's attention. Samuel Coleridge uses this kind of representation in, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner". This poem is about an Ancient Mariner who stops a wedding guest on his way to a wedding reception with two friends. As the guest tries to get away from the Ancient Mariner, he pressures him to listen to his tale. In “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”, the…

interest in is the idea that he will die period, not gloriously or for any specific reason. Seeger describes his path to death when he states, “It may be he shall take my hand and lead me into his dark land”. The male figure he alludes to is the grim reaper. I Have a Rendezvous with Death is a poem of beauty and love, his love of life being…

but the Grim Reaper, a black angel of death whose remnants of “grave-cerements and corpse-like mask” (296) are the only tangible proof of the Red Death’s supernatural, gothic existence” (Fear and Symbolic Imagery in Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death” Guercio 77). As stated the masked man is no normal person but, is, in fact, an allegory for the Grim Reaper or an angel of death. The masked man who had slithered into the masquerade ball is shown to bear a resemblance to the Grim Reaper and thus…

Some people are given nicknames based on their actions others are based on their personality. Some people are so famous that we incorporated their names into spells or wizardry. Queen Mary of England of the 1500’s was so ruthless that she was given the nickname bloody. When people are that bad and ruthless they are never forgotten and their spirit is always there to haught you. Bloody Mary is mostly known as a drink you can get in a bar. But, Bloody Mary was actually a person who is part of…

There are a vast number of poems that vary from overall message, level of difficulty, and use of literary devices. Poets will manipulate these factors to aid them in the process of creating a product that will embody their purpose. As a result of different mindsets and individual expression, certain poems are more difficult to analyze than others. To explore this concept it is necessary to analyze poems from each spectrum of difficulty. The poems “Messy room” by Shel Silverstein, “The Reason Why…
