In "Young Goodman Brown" there are plenty of symbols in the story. The three symbols that stood out to me are The Dark Forest, His Faith, and The Devil. The Dark Forest to the puritans was a place for sin, and where The Devil goes to make his deals.

Fishing with Coconuts It was 0215 on the twelfth day of February and our Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyer was cruising the Indian Ocean. I was in the middle of a watch, patrolling the main deck. Feeling the effects of sleep deprivation and being nowhere close to the end of my watch, the night started to become routine. As I had done numerous times before, I swung open the hatch to the weather deck and began to step out and into the pitch-dark night. By an unfortuitous…

Efficiency Procedure A Trebuchet was made as per this video. A 15 cm sling was made, which had knots tied into it every 3 cm. The Trebuchet was then placed on the floor. The Trebuchet was fired using the sling at the 3 cm knot. The place the projectile landed was marked, and the distance measured. This was repeated 2 more times, and the average calculated. The experiment was then repeated for all the other knots on the sling (6, 9, 12, 15). The maximum theoretical flight distance was then…

How does Malouf’s characterisation and use of language and imagery in Ransom reaffirm the reader’s belief in the human spirit? David Malouf’s reinterpretation of Homer’s Greek classic, The Iliad, specifically Book 24 focuses not on the war and battles of Troy, but on Priam’s journey with Somax and the transformation of human nature that follows. Whilst journeying to collect Hector’s body and give ransom, Somax introduces Priam to the life of the common people. He learns what it means to be…

thought to be his work. The gesture of the figure leads the viewer to the left upper body and the figure’s eyes. Her left arm is holding the shawl that is wrapped her right shoulder and left waist, which created a circular shape. The bright spot and the knot of her dress on her left shoulder draws the attention. Her eyes, however, are looking to the left, and leads viewer to somewhere in distance outside the canvas. This composition may be leading people’s attention away from her right arm,…

freelance mission: it’s a team effort, which is simultaneously comforting and frustrating. Not everyone here is a rational player, which lessens predictability and heightens the danger of working with them. As she untangles her hair from its’s haphazard knot of an updo, she can’t help but think agreeing to this was a mistake. Fortunately, she refuses to dwell on regrets. Instead, she settles on the floor in view of the TV screens, leaning back against a wall ( minimizing the risk of unforeseen…

that I was African. Elementary School When I was younger, my mother would put my hair into Bantu knots, twist, cornrows, braids, and thread my hair. Threading is an African hairstyle that is black thread wrapped around hair. Having those hairstyles in school was not exciting. One time, my mother threaded my hair for school, and mostly all the students laughed at me. I went to class having Bantu knots and everyone was staring at my hair as if my hair was absurd. Another time, I had purple and…
