    Success to me is achieving at your highest level and doing your very best. I would agree with Margaret Meads opinion that the idea of others being highly successful can cause a certain jealousy or threat. We become so worried with others success that we don 't realize all the achievements we have accomplished ourselves. I think Mead is correct in the fact that we find a threat in success, that as a Americans we greatly prize success, and that we are taught to celebrate and honor the people that…

    As set within a larger epic, Ovid’s Metamorphoses and also mirrored in Ars Amatoria, “Icarus’” structure conveys a Roman focus on present experiences, using the flight of Icarus to support the idea of flight as a semblance of free will within the present (Ovid). As the poem takes place within an epic, structurally, it brings attention to that there is a significant amount of history both before and after it. The piece does not rhyme, with the first four lines ending in “perōsus”, “amōre”,…

    Single Sea Foam to Married Mermaid The original The Little Mermaid, written by Hans Christian Andersen, and the Disney version are closer than I had first thought. It turns out that Disney had only changed the ending to fit the Disney-fication process, besides adding music. The original piece isn’t as sad as thought. I’m glad I got to actually sit down and read Andersen’s version of The Little Mermaid. Both versions of The Little Mermaid follow the six-step formula for a Shakespearean comedy.…

    In the second stanza the narrator witnesses Tom’s loss of innocence: “There’s little Tom Dacre, who cried when his head / That curled like a lamb’s back, was shaved:” (Stanza 2). The image of Tom crying because he was losing his hair is so vivid. We often take little things like that for granted. Losing his hair wasn’t about vanity; it was a choice being taken away from Tom.
