simply sprouting in order to represent hope. This could mean that “waiting gives significance to existence” (Jing Wang) . If so, Didi and Gogos' waiting is no longer meaningless. An analysis of the allusions in the play casts light on the dim world in Waiting for Godot, and unveils what was hidden to the naked eye. We are able to get the core of the play by investigating the allusions and referencing them to familiar myths and stories. It is through these connections that we are able to…

“There is a sufficiency in the world for a man’s need, but not a man’s greed.” - Mahatma Gandhi. In the world, one’s greed will never be satisfied and leads to extreme selfishness. Not only is this true in the world, but it is also true when speaking about a dystopian story with a corrupt government. In the book, Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury writes about how Mildred, the government and society and Montag are all examples of selfishness. Ray Bradbury first describes how Mildred is selfish in the…

She explained how she struggled in school and simple tasks became difficult for her. Alice’s peers called her mean names and she was constantly bullied. Her reaction was to withdraw from the outside world. At the age of twelve, she would stand in front of the mirror, ranting and raving. She would beg for the scar tissue…

a thinning fiction keen to aspire” (Groarke, 56, 22-26). Yet even with this meticulous care, the only way to escape the confines of the poem is “by way of leave”, or by flight. This is also, therefore, the only way to leave the physical world and reach the metaphysical one. Alan Gillis has a contrasting perception of birds; birds are not a beautiful part of nature, but another disorderly part of it. No poem is more explicit in its view of birds than the poem ‘Lagan Weir’, which is…

also strongly criticizes organized religion throughout the story, by showing the reader religious leaders who are corrupt and do not follow their doctrines. It is extremely foolish to be too optimistic, because you will become unable to view the world for how it is versus what your perception of it is. This is what I believe Voltaire is trying to convey to the reader and will be the first theme I will discuss. Candide had been taught by Pangloss in the safety of the castle he initially lived…

Christians pray to and worship God in more languages than any other religion in the world (Netland and Ott 15). This can be attributed to the gospel’s power to overcome all cultural boundaries. As heirs to God’s kingdom our truth is no longer found in our worldly identity but in our creator (ESV Gal 3:28). Unfortunately, as fallen humans it is impossible to completely separate our own personal understanding of the world from God’s infallible truth. When we worship God for example, our worldly…

What SF does for us SF functions both as a distortion of the present and as a teacher that can evoke social change by critiquing human(oid) behaviors and their institutions. Samuel Delany and Joanna Russ must be thanked equally for their contribution to the function of SF as Delany’s argument that SF is a significant distortion of the present cannot be brought to justice unless it is combined with Russ’s argument that SF serves a didactic function. Without understanding that SF is a distortion…

During this semester, English 101 elaborated on multiple skills that may have not been touched on in high school or other colleges. Coming from high school, in my four years of English classes, I never had to write or discuss summarizing articles, papers, and other writings. After learning a few tips and tricks on how to summarize a piece of text, it became easier to summarize the texts and also improved my ability to tell others summaries of data or information. After the few assignments we…
