The Prelude: Wordsworth’s Mental Conflicts and His Imperfect Solution The Prelude, an autographical epic poem by William Wordsworth, describes not only a journey of the author’s life and experience, but also a process of how he “fixes the wavering balance of” his conflicted mind, by seeking comfort in the “spots of time,” or, in other words, his memories of childhood and nature (Book I, L622; Book XII, L258).

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…

We are enamored with knowing what is coming over the next horizon so it is no wonder that many people who read the Bible do so to get an insiders glimpse on what tomorrow holds. And in a very general, but meaningful way, we are told what the future holds for humanity. Those who are found in Christ have an…

In this synthesis I will be comparing two stories and one poem. They are called Prophets Hair, A Father, and Self Portrait. The three stories all have in common something that have to do with their father, so it will be comparing father figures. In the poem “Self Portrait” the son appears to be mad at his father. Some reasons can be him not knowing who he is “I resemble everyone but myself.” When you grow up and go through life, not knowing who you are can be challenging and make you resent your…
