The Tyger

The Lamb and the Slaughter is written by Roald Dahl, and is about a woman whose husband is about to leave her. The husband was leaving her and the women was currently pregnant with a child. In addition, there was also a movie made about this text. However, even though they are made under the same idea the two pieces are very different. The Lamb to Slaughter’s film and text, are both very similar, however, the text is more about using irony and a direct tone while the movie is about getting…

We Are All One Humans, animals, and all objects existing on earth are all alike in the fact that they are all creations of god. In the poem “The Lamb” William Blake begins with a communicating with a lamb. The child focuses on the question, who is his creator? Suddenly it transitions to the child answering the question, which happens to be Jesus Christ. William Blake demonstrates we are all alike through the use of personification through the valleys, alliteration to emphasize the power of Jesus…

Tyr is considered a lesser known deity in comparison to the other Norse gods, however, no less in significance in European culture. The Younger Edda states that warriors call on his name “to [sway] victory in war” (Snorre). There are other examples in the real world of reverence and recognition of the god Tyr. Towns in what we call Scandanavia were thought to be inspired by their devotion to this deity based on their names, such as Tyslundr or “Tyr’s Grove” and Tysnesoen or the “island of Tyr’s…

I am going to compare and contrast of the two stories and how the similarities and differences thematically bring the two stories together. Part one of the play is about three shepherds who are complaining, how life is, and ended having one of their sheeps stolen by Mac. Part two of the play is about the same three shepherds who are their way to see the birth of Jesus Christ. I am also going to discuss the parallels that are in both plays. The parallels are cradle, shepherd’s gifts, Mac, and the…

The senseless, impossible, reality bending view of the world, is the purpose of the latest picturebook by the celebrated author-illustrator Eric Carle. At first glance, the theme is made evident to readers; the front dust jacket cover illustrates a yellow duck popping out of a peeled banana. The text on the cover reads “THE NONSENSE SHOW”, and is written in a colorful block font, using all capital letters. The dedication page features Rene Magritte’s famous painting The Treachery of Images,…

A zebra, an orangutan a hyena and a tiger? Or, a Taiwanese sailor, a mother, a French cook, and Pi? These are two stories that give the same meaning, but one tells a better story. In Life of Pi by: Yann Martel, Pi gets stuck on a lifeboat for 227 days after he is the victim of a shipwreck. He is forced to survive the harshness of the sea. After a truly incredible journey to ultimate survival, Pi tells the story of his miraculous survival in the company of a tiger to Japanese men from the…

On my visit to the Kimbell Art Museum there were two artifacts that I found interesting. The first one was “Urn in the Form of Cociyo, God of Lightning and Rain”. It is of Zapotec culture from the site Monte Albán Illa (in modern day Oaxaca, Mexico). This artifact stood out to me because of its weird and intriguing features. The eyes are shaped into two parts representing the clouds and the water needed to grow crops. Its snout extension has a combination of jaguar and snake allusions: the shape…

The central idea in the poem “America” by Claude McKay is that even though America is strong and powerful in sometimes negative ways, the poet loves and respects her for those qualities. The poet’s usage of analogies contributes to the central idea of the poem by describing the harsh qualities of America. McKay compares the relationship between a citizen and America to a person having a tiger’s tooth sunken into their throat when he says “And sinks into my throat her tiger’s tooth, / Stealing my…

William Blake’s “The Lamb” paints a picture by using aspects of imagery of how “the Lamb” in the poem represents the Lamb of God, which is Jesus. Jesus is the son of God, who created everyone and everything. From the beginning of the poem, it is quite obvious there is a double meaning for “The Lamb”, that being the lamb’s physical attributes as a literal lamb and its spiritual meaning as Jesus. William Blake creates a sense of imagery by explaining to us the lamb’s nature, the nature of the…
