John James Audubon and Annie Dillard both wrote short passages describing large flocks of birds using vivid imagery and descriptive diction to convey the effect that the flocks had on them as an observer. Both passages have an awed and laudatory tone since the writers seem to be enchanted by the beauty o the birds. While Audubon gives a literal description of what he saw, Dillard describes the birds through the extensive use of figurative language. The descriptive diction in both passages serves to give the reader a mental image of what the writer saw as the birds flew by. Audubon uses phrases like “countless multitudes” and “immense legions” to describe the large amount of birds that he watched fill the sky.
Her body image makes the viewer feel as if she were asking for something in a time of despair. The colours suggest an intensity that explores the depths of dark passion and disappointment. The colours of the clouds are a silencing sadness and the crepuscular hills announce a great level of exasperation.

In The Odyssey Circe was one to Odysseus about his up coming obstacles. The movie had a similar person, who didn’t have a name. Even though the sirens are mythical creatures, they are still put into the movie. Obviously this book and movie aren’t exactly the same but the similarities are kind of easy to point out. Odysseus’ whole journey is to return home and be with his wife and son again.
“CATFISH” As defined, the art of critical thinking is, “…the mental process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, analyzing, synthesizing and evaluating of information in order to reach a conclusion.” In the movie “catfish” our critical thinking skills are brought into play as we try to analyze the credibility of the film as a whole. “Catfish” is (as we are led to believe) a non-fictional movie/documentary on the doomed cyberspace relationship between a 24-year old photographer Yaniv (Nev) and his lover Megan. Even though it’s marked as a documentary, the authenticity of “catfish” and credibility of its creators are brought into question when the film is critically analyzed as a whole. In the film, Nev befriends an eight-year-old
Housman implies in his poem that it is better to die in one's prime rather than to live to a rip old age just to see all their accomplishments fade and become meaningless to everyone. "To an Athlete Dying Young" takes place at a young champion runner's funeral or possibly before the funeral at the memorial service. In the first stanza, the poem starts by the speaker reflecting on the time the champion runner won the town race, and he was greatly celebrated and carried home "shoulder-high." The tone of the poem starts as one of pride and celebration in the remembrance of the great win, but the tone shifts quickly in the transition from the first stanza to the second to a more solemn and depressing tone. In line five, "Today, the road all runners come," (5) the speaker is painting the picture of the funeral.
According to the screenplay writer, Akiva Goldsman, this movie is not literally about Nash's life. It focused its attention more towards John Nash's genius nature, his experience with schizophrenia and his Nobel Prize award and was reconstructed as a semi-fictional story. In the movie, Nash and his wife, Alicia are portrayed as a devoted couple and showed how they faced the challenges together. But this movie omitted some important events of Nash's life including his homosexuality status, his affair with a nurse, his status as a father to an illegitimate son and his divorce with his wife. Ron Howard, the director, and Akiva Goldsman also added some espionage element into the movie.
