Polyphemus lived in a cave with cattle and lots of sheep’s that Odysseus wanted to take for food. To take the sheep and cattle for food, Odysseus had to get Polyphemus drunk to kill him, because Polyphemus was a large beasty Cyclops. When he was ready with the hot olive-wood stake Stanley Lombardo in “The
The two things Polykleitos paid attention the most in his work was composition (the “the Contrapposto”) and proportion (“the Canon”). Polykleitos” statues were usually nude, and he liked to explore the movement with his statues, as well as the masculinity in his work shown with his flesh and muscle instead of his statues being more realistic he chose to make his statues more “perfect” and muscular as most ancient Greek works explore as the Greeks fashioned themselves from the idea that perfection would surely mean “goodness” also. I will try to be as objective with my formal analysis as possible while pointing out my observations of “The Doryphoros” with as much detail as I point out the form, line, shape, texture and balance from this work of Polykleitos. Polykleitos was very well known of the art world in his time. One of his most famous being “The Doryphoros” was also at times called “the Spearbearer”.
For instant, he creates a plan to escape from the Cyclopes cave. “Three absent/ I tried them silently together… then slung a man under each middle one.../ so three sheep can convey each man.”(IX. 466-478). Odysseus in this way fools the Cyclopes into letting Odysseus and his men escape from the cave. Odysseus is also clever when he planned out a way to pass through the island of siren, which had a monsters that sang and lured sailors to jump off the ship and swim straight to the monster and it would eat them: “Take me and bind me to the half way up the mast; bind me as I stand upright, with a bond so fast that I cannot possibly break away…If I beg and pray to set me free, then bind me more tightly still.’’(XII.
Lidenbrock and Axel, his nephew, translate the characters into Latin letters, reveling a message written in a bizarre code which is meaningless. Professor Lidenbrock decides to lock everyone in the house and force himself and the others to go without food until he cracks the code. Axel discovers the answer and decides to keep it hidden from the professor, but after two days without food, he cannot stand the hunger and reveals his secret to his uncle. Lidenbrock translates the note and discovers that Saknussemm has been to the center of the Earth. The professor is a man of impatience, and departs for Iceland immediately, taking his nephew with him.
Other characters are the boys in Stanley’s work group at the camp, the warden at the camp and her men, Mr. Sir and Mr. Pendanski.

Jessica Aehnlich Mrs. Decker AP Literature 15 September 2013 The Three Little Pigs As the bedtime story is told…once upon a time there were three little pigs. The youngest pig built a house of straw while the second pig built his house out of sticks. They built their houses very quickly and then sang and danced all day because they were lazy. However, the third little pig, the oldest, worked hard all day and built his house with bricks. A big bad wolf saw the two little pigs while they danced and played and thought, “What juicy tender meals they will make!” He chased the two pigs but they ran and hid in their houses.
Elizabeth Bishop states, “I stared and stared and victory filled up the little rented boat” (64-66). The fisherman is filled with victory from doing what other fishermen were unable to do: catch this fish. Even though the author has caught the fish, he admires the fish for what it has overcome and appreciates the magnificence of nature and releases the fish. By reading the poem carelessly, one could think that the fish won the fight, but the fish was not able to escape capture and the fishermen did what others couldn’t: catch the fish. The only
As Grendel twists in pain he snaps his muscles, splits his bones and his arm rips off (line 495-499). Beowulf has won this battle, Grendel runs off to die alone. Beowulf hangs Grendel’s arm from the rafters. In the morning everyone celebrates Beowulf’s victory, and they feast. That night while all the warriors were asleep, Grendel’s mother comes to take her revenge for the death of her son.
His utopia is basically a country run by animals that are all equal that’s why he shows them ‘Beasts of England’ so he basically wants to get rid of “tyrant man”. In the 2nd chapter he old big Berkshire bore dies in his sleep. Thirdly I’m going to discuss Napoleon. Napoleon finds Old majors death a convenience because he can take power. He is very selfish pig because he gains power in bad ways like how he brings the puppies up and makes them into an army to gain power by using them to chase Snowball(his biggest rival) out of the farm.
Mr. Jones comes back to take back the farm and the animals fight him again in “The Battle of the Cowshed.” They then defeat Mr. Jones (again) and send him packing. The pigs are making sure the farm runs smoothly by taking charge. Snowball teaches all of the animals to read and comprehend. Meanwhile Napoleon “claims” to help by taking in young puppies to teach them his ways. Napoleon and Snowball continue to fight each other for control, and they eventually have a meeting about building a windmill that makes electricity.
