Would you be able to wait for two minutes to eat a marshmallow? There have been constant discussions going on around the world as to whether or not willpower is important in life. These studies have many varied results but more often than not, they all produced similar results to an extent. Some studies show that having willpower from a young age makes you more likely to be successful at an older age.

There have been many positive results proving that having a strong sense of willpower is extremely beneficial. Over the years there have been studies done on kids where a man would hand the children a marshmallow. The man promised the children that if they were to wait for fifteen minutes, he would bring them another one.

Keats used this time to become aware of some of the creatures in nature, especially the nightingale (Park 23). He then uses these the emotions he felt to create a tone of sadness and suffering in the poem. The tone in the Ode to a Nightingale is expressed partly due to Keats reaction to the nightingale.…

When considering a story such as The Immortals, one must take into account not only the contents, characters and setting of the story, but the manner in which it is told, and the perspective by which it is narrated. All of these components are certainly full of importance, but all of them must be valued equally or the balance would tip and fall crashing down from the point all the best stories, like The Immortals, strive to reach. Unfortunately, there is a surprising amount of rather irritable…
