and the lady that was working there asked them how many bags. John sad 4 and she was like why didn’t you say so. Well that's how antagonistic she was. That was the first omen. Then he was attacked by a peacock because it wanted his peanuts. Then a lot of them came running after john that was the second omen. The third omen was going into the nocturnal room. He had never seen a nocturnal room before. Mr.pignati saw bobo and asked the monkey if he wanted a peanut. He showed his teeth and said…

Virgil uses words such as “terrible,” “ill-omened,” and “death” to describe the fiend that came as an owl as an omen for Turnus’s nearing death. The use of these words gives the speech a more despairing, hopeless, and generally dark tone, as they are used to describe the very thing that ultimately caused so much despair and hopelessness for Juturna. These words…

He answers this question through omens. In Hamlet, just acts are good omens. They are followed by positive occurrences that work in the character’s being just favour. On the other hand, vengeful acts are ill omens. They are followed by negative occurrences that works to the detriment of the character seeking revenge. Shakespeare does this to show the righteousness of justice…

perpetrator behind this scandal. However, this bold accusation is far from logical for several reasons. First, by examining Thucydides’ writings, Alcibiades was a strong advocate for the Sicilian expedition and it would be contradictory to create a bad omen against this undertaking by mutilating the Hermae statues. Secondly, in addition to Thucydides’…

I believe that Santiago had many mentors including the sun, the alchemist, King Melchizedek, and, like Maggie said, the sheep. I believe that the sheep were mentors to Santiago because he learned that most things follow a pattern. His daily life depended on the sheep, and they depended on him. Santiago states, "... he realized that it could be the other way around: that it was he who had become accustomed to their schedule" (page 4). I believe this quote shows how the sheep are somewhat a…

Hey guys, I was assigned as a dog, so I will argue that Griffith is wrong that the jokes he’s been reading in Iliad and Odyssey aren’t really there. Griffith provided several passages in the Iliad that involved humour to exam the humorous in Greek Epic, however, these jokes seem not exist if we interpret them in another aspect. The scene in Book Nineteen, lines 380b-424 that when Achilles returns to the battle after the death of his best friend. Achilles blames the horses for his own failing…

Julius Caesar relates a lot to William Henley, because they both have seen how bad the circumstances can get .What stood out to me was that Casca, rather than being like Henley who isn’t afraid of misfortune and death, he is very much afraid of the omens and the disaster they would…

I think Stephen Crane’story “Maggie: A girl from the streets,” is probably one of the most tragic, yet truthful stories I have read. It almost reminds me of a Greek tragedy. However, I would want to focus on the feminist interpretation of the storylines. The main characters that I wanted to refer to were Maggie, Nell, and Pete. Crane shows the naturalistic view of both poverty and gender roles in the 1800s in this story of an alienated female with no opportunities. Maggie represents the…
