Eliot, in Catch 22 and The Wasteland, respectively, use the modern structure of fragmentation to emphasize the disillusionment and despair that come as a result of a war. In The Wasteland, Eliot begins with the imagery of a barren land, laying a foundation for his poem about nothingness after World War I. Throughout “The Burial of the Dead”, he references the hyacinth girl, a reference to the woman who held the Holy Grail that could restore the lands. However, he notes, “I could not speak, and…

that takes Dorothy to OZ. At the beginning of the book, Baum describes the cyclone as “ very dark, and the wind howled horribly…” (17). The terms he uses are not things that are uncommon when talking about a cyclone. Even when Baum described the Scarecrow’s face (“a small sack stuffed with straw, with eyes, nose, and mouth face” (42).), he does not use anything adjectives that would tell the reader that this was a magical scarecrow. Thus we can see that Baum wanted OZ to be magical yet still…

Anisfeld, Moshe. “Why was Moses barred from leading the people into the promised land?: a psycho theological answer” Jewish Bible Quarterly 39, no.4 (October 2011): 211-220. Anisfeld’s article is a, psycho-theological answer about Moses. He believes that the reason Moses was barred from leading the Israelites into the promise land was not that Moses committed sin however because he “failed to counteract the peoples slide into blasphemy”, about God. The traditional view is that Moses was…

During the 1930s, Spain was deeply divided into 2 groups. The left wing republicans and the right wing nationalists. The republicans consisted of the workers, the trade unions, the socialists and the peasants whilst the nationalists consisted of monarchists, landowners, employers, and the Roman catholic church. In 1929, the military dictatorship that governed Spain collapsed and in 1931 the king abdicated after the Second republic came to power. The creation of a coalition government of the left…

The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot is a poem that explains how people have become disconnected. Whether it be that mankind has become disconnected with nature, with a spiritual force, or with time, we have drifted away from having connections with others and the world that we live in, instead people are focusing more on themselves. Even though The Waste Land was written in 1922 it still holds some truth about how we are disconnected with time in today’s society. Time is an essential part in everyone’s…

depressed. When the video pans to the top of the hill and shows the barrels of trash, it is expected to be unorganized except Muniz describes it as “organized by material”. Even though people associate landfills with being chaotic, the landfill actually uses a system of organization to maintain operation which Muniz observes. When Muniz experiences the landfill and the pickers in person, he realizes the pickers are humans as well, and even though initially the landfill looked awful and dreary,…

analytic process of films. Just watching a movie we really miss a lot of the incentives it offers and how to open our minds to a broader field of understanding, dissecting and finding the meaning in its purpose. This is yet another approach that I can use as I continue my studies. There are certainly a lot of reflection in the study of film. Intellectually, these studies offer me with an alternative way of looking at film and thinking. Instead of looking for a single subject as I watch a…

Glinda remains "good" because she doesn't have the courage to confront the wizard. Elphaba is actually very kindhearted, just deemed as "wicked" because of the use of manipulating propaganda from the wizard. We follow her life story and learn the truth behind her past. The play takes place in the fictional Land of Oz. The actors did an amazing job. They were all believable and truly made the musical magical. The fictional world was transformed into reality on set. All of the characters…

The article I completed my research on was “ Isaiah 14 and Habakkuk 2: Two Taunt songs against the same tyrant?” In this article the author contrasts Isaiah 14 and Habakkuk 2 and speaks on the similarities between the two rulers mentioned. The reason for comparing Isaiah 14 and Habakkuk 2 is because of the prominent monarch figure in both of the passages and the taunt songs that accompany it. Even though Isaiah and Habakkuk were written by different people, the author of this article makes his…
