For example the part that catch me thinking and still linger in my mind is the wounded horses in chapter 4. The reason why because something about animals involved in war is not good and also disturbing. Also the screaming of a horse somehow feels worse than the screaming of a man. In my opinion of the novel is that its very vivid details and very intense and it’s a good novel to read. Also this novel teaches us how soldiers live and the way there lifestyle is in the
“For god sake” is a phrase which prickles the readers feelings- it is sharp, strong and full of raw emotions. Morpurgo has added this to show how some had a lot of gratitude for horses. It is a painful way to say goodbye though and Morpurgo has pressed upon the fact that just because a horse, like Topthorn, is beautiful doesn’t mean it will survive the harrows of a merciless war. The significance of Topthorn is highlighted when the vet officer expresses the unpleasant truth. The vet officer leaves a harsh mental image in the reader’s mind which instantly creates deep sympathy.
These poems are all written by the poet Wilfred Owen. I’m comparing the speeches and poems to give the different views on what people thought about war. In Henry V speech Saint Crispin’s day Henry V speaks a lot of glory, honour and brotherhood. All these ideas can inspire even the most despairing and oppressed men. This speech is very powerful and when someone is feeling unmotivated and depressed it has the ability to stir you to focus.
It foreshadows the upcoming events. It shows the great difference between a normal being and of Claggart in which the difference is the deadly space between. “Now something such as one was Claggart, in whom was the mania of an evil nature, not engendered by vicious training or corrupting books or licentious living but born with him innate, in short ‘a depravity according to nature.” “Claggert magnetically felt, had in its simplicity never willed malice or experienced the reactionary bite of that serpent.” “Billy Budd was like a young horse fresh of the pasture suddenly inhaling a vile
he also mentions the fact crooks has ‘ got a crooked back where a horse kicked him’ metaphorically , this could represent society as the horse that kicked him as it damaged him and changed his life for ever , and the fact he is crooked could expose that he carries the heavy burdens of his life on his back. Surprisingly Candy mentions that crooks “ reads a lot, got books in his room” which shows Crooks
The biggest difference between Beowulf’s heroism in Gardner’s story and in the poem can be seen during the battle. In the poem, Beowulf bravely fights Grendel, defeats him, and there is a celebration. In Grendel, there is no celebration; Grendel’s life is over and so is the story. At the begging of the fight, Grendel grabs Beowulf and the moment he does, he realizes the mistake he has made. “A shock goes through me.
It shows that he is willing to go through lots of stuggle in order to achieve his goal. Once he found out the bad news of Rosa’s untimely death “he had a vision of anger spreading through him like a malignant tumor, sullying the best hours of his life” (Allende pg 36). Trueba decided to leave to the countryside after Rosa’s death. Heading south indicates that Trueba is “digging deep into his own subconscious,” (Foster pg 170) trying to escape the city and all the bad memories he has there. “Literary geography is typically about humans inhabiting spaces, and at the same time the spaces that inhabit humans” (Foster pg 166).
How does the dragon react when it notices its cup has been stolen? Angry -> attacks countryside, fire, (Canto 32-34 italics) Enraged…”furious at the theft…attacks the countryside…the companions listened to Beowulf” 3. What does Beowulf's boast in lines 2511-2515 say about his character? He’s never afraid…”I’ve never known fear” lines 2511; Experienced when fighting the battles 2512-15; Even though he’s old he is still confident, stereotypical Anglo-Saxon (boasting, fame), not satisfied with having only previous rewards – “I am old now, …fight…seek fame still” (lines 2512-2513) 4. Why does

Our enemy’s blood spilled all over the place. In battle we will make battle cries, terrifying our enemy, giving us the advantage. I noticed in battle today that the Romans horses are out of shape. Their horses are nowhere near as tough as ours. The Romans have to carry food on the horse, making the horse slower.
