Waltz of the Wallflowers This is a free verse poem written in the poetry sweatshop method. I opened a dictionary to a random page, which contained words that began with “wa,” including waltz, wallop, wallow, wallflower, wallpaper, wamble, waning, and wander, which I used to create the poem. As this method is meant to create alliteration, I extended it to include other words beginning with W, such as whispers, wary, and wassailers, as well as alliteration with T sounds in the sixth line, with…

This essay is about the similarities and differences between some Norse myth stories and the BBC videos. They essay will talk about a specific video and the story it relates to. One story is "Apples of Iduna." Another is "Freya and the Goblins." Those are just two of the stories. I will compare and contrast three the stories.

“True love doesn’t happen right away; it’s an ever growing process. It develops after you’ve gone through many ups and downs, when you’ve suffered together, cried together, laughed together,” Ricardo Montalban explains. A Midsummer Night’s Dream, by William Shakespeare, is a play about love never being easy. The play incorporates topics like other people coming in between a relationship, temptation, and jealousy. A Midsummer Night’s Dream, uses love to show different conflicts and real life…

Nora Scene 12 Analysis Paper In Nora there is a handful of characters who share the stage in Ingmar Bergman’s adapted version of A Doll’s House, by Henrik Ibsen. In this small ensemble of characters, two seemed to speak to me the most. Those characters were Nils Krogstad, the antagonist, and Christine Linde, the supporting female. While reading the script none of the characters felt real, I felt disconnected to the other lot of them, but, I could understand the struggles of Mrs. Linde and…

In a play, there are actors, and there are characters. The actors are only their characters, only have the “power” of their characters, when other characters in a play or an audience acknowledge them as such. An actor is only Prince Charming when they are in a Cinderella affiliated performance, and once they leave the stage, they are themselves again and retain no benefits from their fake prince role. But, some actors can get caught up in a role when they implement methods such as method acting…

Emily Dickinson, enigmatic as always, is in fine form in this poem as she floats through beautifully veiled metaphors and tantalizing descriptions to depict her fascination and enthusiasm with the natural world. She uses the metaphor of insobriety to paint a vivid picture of the sometimes overwhelming aspects of nature. "I taste a liquor never brewed- From Tankards scooped in Pearl- Not all the vats upon the Rhine Yield such an Alcohol!" These are four interconnected and…

In the Hobbit the elves, dwarfs, and the goblins all sing a song in the story. In the book they all sing in different tone, content, and structure it will also describe the characters that sing them. With this I can determine how each song is different. This is how I will determine the differences in the songs in this book. The first song is the one the dwarfs sung at at Bilbo's house at the beginning of the book. In the book the dwarfs sung the song in a playful tone, this tells you the dwarfs…

There are many healthy and unhealthy relationships in the play Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet is a classic play about two star crossed lovers, whose relationship can be put up for debate if it’s healthy or not. A relationship that certainly is healthy in this play is Romeo and Mercutio. Romeo and Mercutio are best friends who would do…

Shakespeare has a tendency to analyze that “The course of true love never did run smooth”(A Midsummer Night’s Dream – Act 1, Scene 2). In Othello, William Shakespeare explores a tragic love that is caught in rumors and judgment. His play has been adapted into films, plays, and stories such as Djanet Sears’ 1990s adaptation, Harlem Duet. Sears explores Othello’s desire to protect himself in his romantic relationship through the voice of his first wife Billie. Shakespeare’s and Sears’ Othello…
