Pun

E. E. Cummings is an extraordinary poet who is well known for his use of different structures that convey his theme in his writing. Cummings makes a name for himself by exploring new, unique ways and styles of writing unknown to most people. Cummings commonly uses themes in relation to love, nature, and experiences in his past. In Cummings’s poems, structure and theme go hand in hand. He uses different structures such as the use of lowercase letters, unusual punctuation, misspelled words and…

could just educate some Americans that there are other languages besides English. As for my last name “Pyun” or “편,” it means fidelity; never changing. When people try to pronounce my last name, they mispronounce it by saying “Peen, Pie-yoon, Poon, Pun.” There’s not a lot of Koreans with my last name and I have yet to find another…

amusement, “When I did him at this advantage take / an ass’s noll I fixed on his head” (Shakespeare 3.2. lines 16-17). Even as the play continues, his doings of making a literal ass out of the character Nick Bottom follows through the rest of the play in puns. As this continues in the play, it shows how Puck and his action follow through the whole play; making Puck be considered a static character. Besides his joke toward Bottom, Puck also got involved the four lovers’ relationships and…

don’t think I’m that dumb, right? Of course you don’t, we’re best friends here. After all, I took the precious time out of my day to write you a story, and you took the precious time out of your day to read it, so we’re all on the same page here (no pun intended). Nancy, my boss, stares at me with this blank look on her face. What, do you expect me to say something? I just lost my job that I went to school for eight years to get. I’m not exactly in the best emotional state. But, I muster up the…

It’s soon revealed in the play that he only plays the fool so that he can seem all the better when he redeems himself, though Feste’s character in Twelfth Night seems content to let the others continue to believe him a fool, with the exception of Viola who sees through his illusion: “[Feste] is wise enough to play the fool, and to do that well craves a kind of wit” (3.1.59). Viola and Feste’s confrontation magnifies the theme of illusion versus reality that appears in both Hamlet and Henry IV-…

Last time, we talked a little bit about the houses in astrology and what they mean. (Also, if you go to that link, you’ll find the previous astrology lessons rounded up, as well.) This time, we’re going to go into a bit of a basic overview of the planets and more importantly, why we look at them. I think everyone’s seen the “It’s in the stars” statements or “What do your stars have to say?” And this has become the familiar thing- but, while yes, we do look at certain stars: it’s really all…

Halyn Nahum Quinlan liked her name. It fit her personality perfectly. Halyn for her unique personality, Nahum for her comforting nature, and Quinlan for her strength. Hayln never understood her older brother, Allister’s name. It meant the protector and helper, which he was neither. Her mother’s name, Anidita, meant blameless, while her dad’s name, Placido, meant quiet. Anidita fit her mother, since she never seemed to do anything wrong. Her father’s name fit him as well, he always allowed…

become used to, but rather Lennie was unknowenly in charge of the situation. The ellipsis in George 's speach come to a hault when Lennie eagerly asks to "do it now." However, the reader is suddenly hit with a wave of sorrow when Steinbeck 's sadistic pun on "it" connects with the harsh reality of George 's steady hand. Furthermore, Steinbeck 's once beautiful, descriptive text stops, his luxurious methods of literature stops and instead the novella ends with a plague of simple sentences which…

cardiovascular exercise, fat is melted away, so to speak! So, as regards weight loss, plan on squats, push-ups, sit-ups, and strengthening exercises.For weight loss, as far as dieting goes, I have found the South Beach Diet to be quite effective for me. Weight loss requires mostly a “low carb” diet, where your focus is to eat certain kinds of “carbs” conducive to weight loss, versus others. It is also a very healthy way of eating that promotes weight loss, and as you can pretty much eat as much…
