The Old Man and the Sea

the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.” It’s a clear repetition of what is sang at the beginning of chapter 15 in the first verse. Repetition is considered to be especially important in scripture; an indication that what is being said is significant. Conclusion The Song of Moses in Exodus 15:1-21 is a phenomenal example of praise and worship in the Old Testament. While the Psalms are known for their own musical flair, unique songs such as…

“Still in place.” I regained clarity in my vision and realized something. It was the same man from before. The same man with the ugly nose. “Wait, how’d you get--” He turned around and walked away with two hands behind his back. I didn’t have anywhere else to go, so following him was my best bet. Walking out, I noticed that we were now on city streets again, under the sea of grey smoke that has swallowed the world whole. I stepped out and immediately had my breath taken away…

Albert Einstein says that a man is defined by values rather than his success. Odysseus has many victories but he follows his morals religiously and does not break them regardless of desperation. Odysseus’s expedition was a treacherous trek that seemed near impossible. Odysseus had many opponents. One of them was Polyphemus (cyclops), the son of Poseidon, who trapped Odysseus and his crew in his cave. Another opponent Odysseus encountered was Calypso (nymph) who imprisoned Odysseus on the island…

the idea flows through the page, becoming immensely important. Both Hemingway and Fitzgerald have compiled their words into enormous feelings, as pressing and powerful as the ocean or as wild and uncontrollable as a fire in both novels, The Old Man and the Sea and The Great Gatsby. In both writing styles words hold more than just descriptions. They bring hurt, heartbreak, love, pain, passion, hope, hate, and rage, but ultimately each…

have two different approaches for how they enthrall their readers. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald describes a world that is lost to superficiality and greed. On the other hand, Hemingway depicts the constant struggle between man and nature in his novel, Old Man and the Sea. Contrary to popular belief, both novels share one by one thing: Christian allusions. Within each story, the allusions are interwoven into everyday symbols and characters. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald creates a fallen…

Violent incidents occurred in both Gilgamesh and the Old Testament and were used several times throughout the texts. Both of these books illustrate violence, and this violence is in the story for a reason. Violence in both of the books have meaning, or a point behind why the violence was happening. Even pointless violence, which happened in both books, at the end had a point or a lesson to be learned from the violence. Also, in both Gilgamesh and the Old Testament the violence can be justified…

pay attention to while reading it. It’s not a hard story to follow along to but it is definitely one that has many different messages hidden behind it. It tells the story of an old sailor and the struggles he had to go through after he killed a bird called the albatross. Rime of The Ancient Mariner allows the younger man in the story to hear the older man's tale and allows him to get something out of it as well, just like the reader does with this story. Throughout Rime of The Ancient Mariner,…

Treasure Island The setting of treasure island is set in two different places in the mid 18th century. The book starts at the Admiral Benbow, a small inn by the sea at Black Hill Cove in Bristol, England and treasure island, which is an island off the coast of Spanish America. I think that the significance of The Admiral Benbow Inn represents family, home, and Jim’s starting place. The Admiral Benbow Inn also represents Jim leaving his childhood behind and moving on, starting to grow up. Some…
