Loggerhead Sea Turtle

Hi, Prof. Brooks I read the short story The Light of the World (Hemingway, 1972), and I talked about it also in the discussion forum. I chose it because I read that Hemingway described this as a story that "nobody else ever liked" (Hemingway, 1998, "Preface to The First Forty-nine", para. 5 ). So, I have read this just to prove that Hemingway was wrong. Of course, I failed. The story is about two young boys who are in transit in an un-named town. It begins with them entering in a bar to eat and…

Stephen Amell, who is a famous actor who was known for playing the character Oliver Queen, in the T.V series, “Arrow”, one said, “To live I had to make myself more than what I was, to forge myself into a weapon. I am returning not the boy who was shipwrecked, but the man who will bring justice to those who have poisoned my city.” Oliver Queen and his father Robert Queen decided to take boat trip out on the Atlantic. There him and his father were having a great time, Oliver decided…

It was a particularly windy night in Riften, sending a cool chill running down the thief's spine. He had been sitting on top of a barrel, tearing bits of bread off of the loaf with his teeth and watching the lone merchant ship bob in the wind pushed waters. As he often did, he had been wondering what held him to the small hold, other than the guild. Delvin was no longer an escape for him, but a source of anxiety. His parents had been killed years before. No matter where the ill minded man would…

The colomber is a rough journey for a boy who was coursed from the sea the day that he got on it. His life passion was to be a sailor and follow in the footsteps of his dad. Unfortunately he saw the colober. The stigma attached to the colober was that it was evil and would devour you whole. This story did a great job showing that your actions can have an unexpected end result. This theme portrays the philosopher Hobbes by showing that “humans strive for pleasure no matter what roadblocks stand…

stressful, and always painful.” is the definition that Ernest Hemingway gives for a code hero. This quote is one that can apply to many different situations and people. You can find it almost anywhere. The main character in the novel The Old Man and the Sea and the movie Finding Forrester represent this in both their qualities and their relationship with a young boy. Hemingway is immensely famous for the idea of a code hero. In his definition, a code hero is someone who displays the qualities…

In part two of the book, Ernest Hemingway is how the old man loves to fish. He does not want to think of baseball, but he wants to fish. However, he goes out to fish another day. His line went into to the water a mile deep. The sun is very hot, and the old man feels the sun on its neck and feels sweat trickling down his back. He drifts off to sleep after a while, and he is suddenly awoken. He feels a fish on his line which makes him happy. The marlin that he caught is gently pulling the boat.…

Everyone has differences, which isn’t always a bad thing. Everyone in the canterbury tales, is different in their own way, appropriately or not. I have decided to compare the Miller, whom I named Jake, and the Shipman, who I named Michael. There are different from their looks, to the way that they care (or don’t). Jake, has a big mouth and is not very cautious in his decisions. He is definitely one of the strongest on the trip due to his big bones and his strength. His appearances including…

STRONG OR WEAK BY:OM BALAR Imagine swimming across a river full of alligators while being shot at by armed soldiers. In the book “A Long Walk To Water” the second Sudanese war took place when Salva was in school waiting to go home and see his family, but he never got home. In that same book Salva shows a great character by showing leadership, determination and courage. After I read that book’s(A long water to water) epilogue I found out that Salva is a strong lost boy. First of all, I…

I sat across from him, not daring to look up. I stared at my fishing pole, dipping it in and out of the water like a fish flopping in and out of the ocean. The vibration on my lips distracted me from the situation at hand. The rain pounded on my fisherman’s hat, like a shower of bullets. I began to hum. A monotonous tune. Soon I caught a glimpse of Tim, he appeared distraught and confused. His eyes darted left, then right, up, then down, and up again. “What is he thinking about?” I thought to…

lay there restless, in exactly the same position that Christ hung on the cross. This passage from The Old Man and the Sea has been analyzed by multiple critics and they are certain that this is not a coincidence. Throughout the novel, we encounter enough evidence to confirm that Ernest Hemingway intended to portray Santiago as a reincarnation of Jesus Christ. The Old Man and the Sea resembles Christ's journey to Calvary through the actions of Santiago, the protagonist. To begin with,…
