It is funny that the two have done nothing of the sort in reality. The speaker implicitly requests the lady not to worry because at least that kind of canonization might happen in the future. Those foolish people will regard the hair and bones as things for doing miracle by the lovers; to the man, the miracle is a different one. He does regard that his beloved is a real miracle, however. He is writing the present poem to tell the truth to those who will read and know the reality of those future times when people will make nonsense myths out of such incidents.
It's situations such as this that makes me not believe in legal obligation to the extent which Socrates does where it's almost absolute. I do agree with him that one should obey the laws of the land that governs them, but only to an extent. While the law may have been beneficial to you throughout your entire life and got you to where you are today, if it were to wrong you, you should be able to defend yourself. Even though I do share the same belief about the soul being more important than the body and it continuing to exist after death, I don't believe all unjust acts ruin the

Tanner Whitaker Ms. Huber AP Lang/Comp 4 7 October 2014 Pearl Analysis section 2 Nathaniel Hawthorne paints a picture of hope for the future and change in Pearl’s character. One use of rhetoric is in his use of irony. Hawthorne uses irony when Pearl describes why the sun will not flee from her. She says, "I am but a child. It will not flee from me; for I wear nothing on my bosom yet!” This is ironic because in last chapter, Pearl made herself an A out of seaweed and placed it on her bosom, imitating Hester, yet Pearl seems as though she has forgotten that this has happened entirely.
In this poem, Blake’s character becomes overcome with nostalgia when he sees that his longed-for garden is no longer present. William Blake’s sorrowful poem, “The Garden of Love,” depicts many intellectual metaphors about a love that was lost, and hoping to be found. “I went to the Garden of Love” lets us know the setting of poem. New flowers sprouting in the garden represent a metaphor for “The Garden of Love” because it resembles the sprouting of affection. From here, we can figure out that the Garden of love is a metaphor for a woman, or Blake’s character’s love.
In “An Essay on Man” Pope delineates the importance of living according to God’s plan, or the Great Chain of Being. Like K’ung Shang-Jen he emphasizes man’s transient life on earth and confirms that humans are unable to judge their outcomes simply because they know that they have lived virtuously. Both authors suggest that human’s should live their lives knowing that their circumstances are unpredictable; even so, it is necessary for humans to appreciate what they have been given rather than long for what they think they should have. K’ung Shang-Jen correlates Hou and the Fragrant Princess’s inability to judge the fate of their relationship with the varying phases of the peach blossom fan. K’ung Shang-Jen introduces the simple, yet thought provoking, fan as a symbol of how the hero and heroine should live their lives.
It implies that to truly live life, one must seek simplicity, harmony with nature, and to follow one’s own path. Thoreau strongly believes and advocates that those who live lives of luxury and in mainstream culture created by the Industrial Revolution aren’t really living. He believes this illusion of progress impedes man’s spiritual transcendence, true happiness, and understanding of the essential facts of life. Thoreau’s advice encourages one to rid of superfluous possessions and social activities so as to lead as simple and "bare bones" a life as possible. The advice explains that “life near the bone is sweetest.” The simple life (i.e.
Soeven though Friar Lawrence knew that Juliet wasn’t ready to take thepoison, he still advises her to take it. This contradiction was very importantbecause it lead to the eventual death of Romeo and Juliet. This clearlyshows that Friar Lawrence is hypocritical and offers advice that he does notfollow.Not only does Friar Lawrence offer hypocritical advice to others, buthe even contradicts his own personal ideas and philosophies. Right beforeRomeo comes to the Friar with news of his newfound love for Juliet, FriarLawrence is first seen picking flowers, herbs, and vegetables, while musingto himself. He talks to himself about many things, but the main theme is theduality in any situation, meaning how something bad can so easily be turnedto good, and vice versa.

Although at this moment Yossarian’s reason to preserve life is mostly out of a heightened fear of death, it’s a start that encourages him to at least to try to find the true reason to
Suffering Necessitates Hope: Odysseus’ Suffering and Augustine’s Free Will Defence We have forgotten how to breathe. It seems silly to stop walking so hastily and smell the flowers because there is no time for a heartfelt appreciation for nature’s delicacy. We employ all of our time in perfecting instruments of comfort. Necessity is no longer the mother of invention, comfort is. At the heart of our obsession with comfort lies the mortal need to minimize pain.
