Tread

“We find it easy to tread on and crush a Worm that we see crawling on the Earth; so ’tis easy for us to cut or singe a slender Thread that any Thing hangs by; thus easy is it for God when he pleases to cast his Enemies down to Hell,” (Edwards 5). In this context, Jonathan Edwards, a minister who wrote Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, is putting a fiery image into the minds of the Puritans who attended his sermon on the day of July 8th, 1741. At the time of the Great Awakening, there was a…

first modern occurrence of total war. Total war, as the name implies, takes over every aspect of the lives of the people involved, stretching farther than just the battlefield. This is what Paul Baumer finds himself thrust into, as he struggles to tread the line between giving his life, figuratively and literally, to the German army, and ensuring his personal survival and the survival of his best friends, throughout the course of Erich Marie Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front. At home,…

narrator explains that Captain Ahab paces the deck of his ship, the Pequod, with his ivory leg. He does this so often, in fact, that the ship’s floorboards are dented and show abrasion. The narrator describes the floorboards as, “so familiar to his tread, that they were all over dented, like geological stones, with the peculiar mark of his walk.” The indication here is of Ahab’s obsessed mental state. He was so obsessed, that he paced around every day, to the point of wearing down the ship’s…

romanticized in the way that, as you read it for the first time, it will seem as though it’s not about a tragic event in history. A quote that shows that aspect is, “Then he climbed to the tower of the church, / Up the wooden stairs, with stealthy tread, /To the belfry-chamber overhead, / And startled the pigeons from their perch... Beneath, in the churchyard, lay the dead, / In their night-encampment on the hill, / Wrapped in silence so deep...” In the beginning, you think he is just describing…

water.I yelled out to see if my dad would turn the boat around but of course he didn't. So now I was stuck in the middle of the lake with no one around me.Well at least I had a life jacket because otherwise I would probably sink because I can only tread water for so long. At this point I had three options.Option one was to try to swim back to the lake house that my family was staying at.Option two I could wait for my dad to notice I was gone then he could come to me(this was probably not…

Both similar in the novels written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter and Young Goodman Brown exemplify the forest as a place of temptation towards relentless sin. Even though Hawthorne portrayed the forest in this way it later takes on the role of…

In Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, the underlying problem that moves the story is cultural, not personal. The cultural problem is civil rights. We see this in the trial, when Calpurnia brings the children to her church, and when Aunt Alexandra disapproves of Calpurnia working for Atticus. This novel is set during the Great Depression. Not many people have money to go out and buy what they formerly could, which hinders most individual’s spirits. So, not only are the African American people…
