The Abyss

In our reality, storms are violent, turbulent and windy collections of forceful power. In writing, they are a strong and substantial metaphor for a feeling or situation with all the destructing and dominant force of a storm. In Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s “Crime and Punishment” there are many different aspects of stormy weather packed into the novel, each one specifically expressing something explicit to its subject. These stormy metaphors and similes show that Dostoevsky shows the somber chaotic…

that they will keep on fighting till the end. A method Churchill used to boost the morale of the British people was imagery. In his speech to the House of Commons, which he read on the 18th June 1940, he used imagery when he said, “sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age.” This paints an image in the…

if I should take the jump or if I should let fear take over, once again. The jump site was astounding. It was beautiful in every single way; it was bright and exuberant with colorful trees; which, I could not fathom how they had not fallen into the abyss. It was also beautifully dangerous with dark, sharp rocks hovering over foreign waters. Fear entered my heart once more, but only for a mere second before my father said the words, “you won’t do it.” Those four words were my kryptonite. Anytime…

A perfect example of the hero journey is Disney Hercules. In this movie The calling to adventure (which also has the Atonement of the father intertwined) is when he discovers that he's the son of Zeus. Which prompts him to want to become as his Father is,a God, and live on Olympus like his father as well. This can also be interpreted as the atonement of the Father. Campbell suggest that the image of god is an archetype of the father and a source of power. In this case this is extremely literal…

Campbell’s (1989) outline of narrative structure, illustrates the mechanism that allowed of The Simpsons to become so popular. Campbell’s ‘Hero’s Journey’ shows how a character is able to transform throughout a story, journeying into the ‘abyss’ in order to change. This narrative structure appeals to so many as it is the vehicle in which everyone lives. Everyone journeys from the known (Home, Family etc) to the unknown (Work, Stress, Challenges) in order to grow as individuals. The Simpsons was…

The day started off early, with a crisp breeze touching my pure, uncovered skin. I detected a hint of warmth that wisped around and hugged me tightly as the sun twirled higher into the cloudless sky. I was meeting up with a couple of friends to explore the seaside. Meredith, Ashley and I were so thrilled to finally go on one last enormous adventure together. We were in the spring break of our senior year and were all heading straight to our colleges when summer started to settle into our new…

identified him. High-born and common folk alike feared Burton because of the tales told about his ‘gifts’, the supernatural abilities that had scorched the sky. But he had morphed his face into an unrecognizable visage. And once Montague realized, he played along. “The wild folk have come,” said Burton. “Mages carrying deadly spells are murdering everyone in sight and burning homes to the ground. I believe the invaders are influenced and led by a supernatural force. A force so evil, its…

“And not a second too soon,” smiled Hannelore. Without even muttering a word, Chandler had no choice but to smile alongside Germania. Seventy years after the end of that destructive War, it was quite a sight to see several functional Panzer tanks, albeit ones repainted in colors different than their German counterparts that served during the war. Although they seemed to be like their original predecessors at first, upon closer inspection, these ones appeared to be modernized variations. “Dammit…

seductive; never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander for a spell in the abyss of solitude.” (15,124) Personification of the sea. Sounds of the sea create imagery. Chopin personifies the sea as a seductress to rationalize the pull it has on Edna. It emulates a feeling of giving into temptation and letting go of the chains that bind Edna and entice her to jump into the abyss. This is a foreshadowing, for this line not only is used in page 15, Chapter 6, when…
