They both have an array of dead trees, which show the bleakness in nature, but they also bring a meaning for a new beginning. Next, the lake, and the waterfalls show tranquility nature has to offer, but the waterfalls bring out taxing power in nature that is nothing like it in the world. The deer and the Native American in both paintings show the willingness to search for new things, and for a new creation. In both the paintings, the sky’s look to be just floating around, trying to find a new place to go, just like the deer and Native American. Yet, they show the dark side of nature, and how daunting it may be.
William Carlos Williams makes great use of several elements in the presentation of the poem. Some of these elements are language, form and content. First of all I was greatly attracted to the aspect of content. The author chose to narrow down to old age as the essential content of the poem. Actually it activated me as I read through the poem.
The Greek Culture turned to mythology to explain the different phenomena when they had no scientific explanation and this was prominent in the epic the Odyssey. Both The Odyssey and the Epic of Gilgamesh are two incredible stories written long ago. The main characters and the heroes of these two great epics have many differences but also many similarities. By exploring differences of the two characters will also reveal their similarities and also give a bit of history about our two heroes (2). These two epics share many of the same concepts.
He attempts to make a long journey through the snow covered Yukon terrain. He is an inexperienced man to the cold winters in the Yukon. This is his first winter there. He had no imagination even though he was quick and alert to the thing in life not to meaning of the things. “Fifty degrees below zero meant eighty odd degrees of frost.
Fitzgerald uses imagery to compare the components of hockey with other finely detailed images. In the first paragraph, the author describes the ice to appear tired and resigned. He goes on to compare it to a "Xmas store window, not before the miniture fir trees...were arranged upon it, but after they had been dismantled and cleared away" (6). Continuing on to the second paragraph, Fitzgerald envisions the game to be full of energy, motion, and speed. To the "innocent" this sudden change seemed "paradoxical like the frantic darting of the weightless bugs which run on the surface of stagnant pools" (14).
Cleverness is Key “A clever, imagination, humorous request can open closed doors and closed minds.” This quote by Percy Ross is a quote that many Greek heroes could live by. In the epic poem The Odyssey, told by Homer, the author tells of a Greek hero named Odysseus. The poem is about Odysseus’ ten year journey from Troy, back to his home land of Ithaca. During the journey, Odysseus uses his cleverness to overcome many conflicts. Cleverness is one of six Greek values.
“Leaving alien miles unleashed and unrestrained. Watching the hurricane of writhing snow rage past the little house” (234). She was overpowered by the storm which left her planted in the freezing drifts in which Steven arrived. Now Ann can relax as there is someone to do the chores and keep her company, but in a short amount of time this changes. Steven turns into a awful man who knows he has the advantage of Ann for the night, “but in a storm like this you are not expecting john?” (236).
Rather, the point is that the authority of kingship now belongs to the poetic voice, the voice that is declaiming the Theogony. Although it is often used as a sourcebook for Greek mythology the Theogony is both more and less than that. In formal terms it is a hymn invoking Zeus and the Muses (who he farthered): parallel passages between it and the much shorter Homeric Hymn to the Muses make it clear that Hesiod's account the Theogony is developed out of a tradition of hymnic preludes with which an ancient Greek rhapsode would begin his performance at poetic competitions. It is necessary to see the Theogony not as the definitive source of Greek mythology, but rather as a photographic account of a dynamic tradition sort to say that happened to become
Just like the barking dogs, it is hard not to shout for joy when you accomplish something great. After careful observation of nature, I realized the striking similarities between what I had seen and what I had felt. Nature it seems mimics life’s emotions. For example, the blanket of snow on a winter day chilled my heart and soul and reminded me of times when I felt lost and alone. However, time marches on and so too do the emotions of my life.
Repetition in the Aeneid Ancient Rome was highly dependent on repetition; a repetition of Greek Architecture, repetition of the Olympian Gods, and even a repetition of Greek Literature. This is not to say that Roman culture was a cheap knock-off of the Greece, for Romans strived to not only match Greece’s rich culture but to rise above it. Virgil’s The Aeneid is a fine example of the manner in which Romans aimed to glorify Rome by imitating Greece. The theme of repetition is crucial to Virgil’s poem, particularly in Book VI, where history, myths, and tales reoccur or foretell an occurrence. Near the beginning of Book VI, we enter a temple dedicated to Apollo, and upon entering, our narrator reiterates the history that gave rise to this temple.
