Seven Samurai

Although the Carpenter does not eat as many oysters than the Walrus, as Tweedledee points out to Alice, I placed him at the lowest end of the axis because of what he eats. While the other characters on this list are either addicted to food or drugs, the Carpenter eats an excess of living creatures, mixing murder into his gluttony. While eating oysters is hardly seen as a sin, the oysters in this poem can walk, talk, and communicate with the Carpenter and the Walrus, giving the Carpenter’s and…

God; and He is a just God who can give and take away (14-19). This acknowledgement and understanding gives her comfort and she recognizes the worthlessness and vanity of earthly wealth (54). As a Puritan, Bradstreet, believes vanity is one of the seven deadly sins and becomes self-critical of her fleshly desires asking: “And did thy wealth on earth abide / Didst fix thy hope on mold’ring dust/ The arm of flesh didst make thy trust” (38-40). Her loss increases her understanding of the emptiness…

her wish had come to, as she died shortly after childbirth. The king, dejected after his beloved wife’s death, withdrew to his quarters, leaving young Snow to entertain herself. It was a difficult adjustment, then, when her father remarried after seven years and a domineering stepmother moved in. In those times, there was an abundance of cruel peasants and servants, but the worst offender in the kingdom was Snow White 's stepmother, Linda. She constantly insulted the girl, whether Snow was in…

“Shame be to the man who has evil on his mind” Sir Gawain and the Green Knight prayer style, the poet ending it with an “AMEN” and following it with a reminder that “Shame be to the man who has evil in his mind”. This ending ties back throughout the rest of the poem to the idea that for Gawain to overcome his sin, he must stop hiding it and acknowledge it, something he struggles with until the conclusion. At the ending of the poem a request for peace is presented, yet it follows after bringing…

Memory is a process of encoding, storing, and retrieving information. It is the total sum of who we are and what we know. It is also absolutely crucial in everything we do and affects how well we do it. A large variety of studies have already been conducted on memory and show that there are different types of memory. In their study, Luo and Craik (2008) looked at the effects of age on memory and found that aging contributes to increasing difficulty to complete complex memory tasks. There’s a…

Throughout Breakfast with Buddha, Merullo writes about the lessons Rinpoche teaches to Otto. More of the straight forward lessons and guidance occur in chapters 23-34. These lessons are more like ideas for Otto to think about and if it would be acceptable to apply to his daily life. But, not only are the lessons for Otto to consider, they are meant for the audience to consider for themselves personally. When Otto and Rinpoche settle back in at the St. Mary’s Inn, Otto begins reading Rinpoche’s…

Hell, like love or other great intangibles, is a thing that cannot be fully grasped by mortal beings. It is a place that no one has ever experienced, so therefore, it is not possible to fully understand. However, Dante, through his epic poem Inferno, tries to comprise an in-depth experience of what Hell very well may be. This poem has likely been the most tangible understanding of the place as we can conclude thus far. The issue of whether the punishment of eternal damnation in Hell is just or…

Values and Motives Affecting Fate From the beginning of Antigone, the sides are chosen. Creon, the new king, is motivated by his new position and feels he cannot let the people down. Antigone is motivated by her love for her family and the pain of the past. Both allow their values to run their actions despite laws being broken and family being killed. As all of this is taking place, the Chorus is there to guide the way. The Chorus acts as a director by showing the audience the scenes as they…
