The Urges

Love is not by Marus Argentarius and Trans. Fleur Adcock. “When insatiable desire inflames you for a girl who’s out of fashion.” This woman may be plain, however in the eyes of that man she is the most beautiful human being that he has ever laid his eyes. “Lacking in glamour-plain, in fact- that fire is genuine; that’s the authentic passion." The poem essentially says that if a man falls in love with a woman who is plain, then she is the most beautiful women in the world. The man loves this…

Characterization and conflict are two key scenarios that present themselves in most all literary works. Characterization is a struggle between two opposing forces. Conflict, on the other hand, will always involve the protagonist, and it can either be internal or external. Internal conflict, which is the conflict between person and self, is one that happens within the mind of the protagonist. Instances of internal conflict are whereby a person struggles between right or wrong, or where one has to…

that does not have to forego it. Thomas’ purpose is to urge someone to fight. Thomas wanted his father to fight for life and not give up and to allow for death to take him. The reader can see the emotions that Thomas felt and is left with a feeling of resistance. The intended audience is for those who are going through a difficult time, whether it would be the death of a loved one or an event that is causing one to lose hope. The poem urges the reader to fight and live on. Although it appears…

Figurative language Figurative language is when the author writes something indirectly to create a special effect. Figurative language includes personification, metaphor and simile. In the poem “Death of a Son”, Silkin is narrating his own experience and feelings of the death of his son “who died in a mental hospital aged one”. (Tuma 552) This clearly evokes that Silkin's son was not normal and has disability. Silkin creates the extended metaphor of silent houses to recount the death and…

but rather attempts to lead him to recognize his own flaws in his reasoning. Socrates urges Euthyphro to look more closely at the consequences of what he has claimed, a sign of an experienced and respectable teacher. Still, by the end of their dialogue, the readers are no closer to a definition of piety, so what is to be learnt for the audience? Perhaps it ends so swiftly and with so much inconclusiveness to urge readers to think more independently and form more sound, supported…

"Eve's Apology in Defense of Women" He never sought her weakeness to reprove, (805) With those sharp words, which he of God did hear: Yet Men will boast of Knowledge, which he took From Eve's fair hand, as from a learned Book. (Lanyer, "Eve's Apology," charlesyoungs.com) The implication is that although each had a part in the sin, and Adam did not blame Eve for "her weakness," man still goes on to "boast of knowledge... from Eve's fair hand." Man's knowledge of Good and Evil, the basis for all…

Constipation is one condition, which patients refuse to accept the scientific definition. This definition says less than three bowel movements per week. Respecting the patient’s feeling that if bowels are not moved every day, it is considered constipation, Homeopathy recognizes the inconvenience perceived by patients rather than the dictums of science. Culturally patient experiences dissatisfaction if bowels are not moved every day. When life style correction does not help enough, a need for…

GOTTA’ DO IT THESIS: Curiosity leads to the downfall of a person. Exploration is acting upon one’s curiosity. These two themes are very prominent in the two texts; Frankenstein and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The themes have many strong ties in both texts, with the characters and ties the overall plots of the stories. Jekyll has created a potion which turns him into what we learn is Mr. Hyde. Jekyll originally did not intend to drink the potion but his curiosity and…

could not hold up to the draw of savagery, and they only debased themselves further by accepting Jack’s, meat, almost acknowledging that good food is preferable to a conch shell and huts. Ultimately, Jack satisfies primal urges in the boys, which proves to be much stronger than the urge for reason, rationality, and…
