The attitude in Atwood’s Siren Song by Margret Atwood is captured by an image of the sirens described as “picturesque and mythical.” Atwood draws her readers in by having the sirens use their sex appeal to lure in men and force them to “leap overboard in squadrons.” She then goes on and gives the readers the assumption that the sirens are bored with their beauty, and are almost sickened with the same routine and outcome. “Shall I tell you the secret, and if I do will you get me out of this bird suit?” that implies that the sirens are bored. We see that the song is “irresistible and anyone who has heard it is dead or can’t remember it.” This makes us as readers more interested. The sirens trick men with their beautiful song, and lure them into their deadly
One of the best scenes he did was the fountain scene. In this scene, his body language and tone of voice were very convincing. Aside from the fountain scene, Ralph Macchio also did excellent in the scene that he dies in. In this scene, he had remarkable body language and displayed his emotions well. The best part of the scene was when he told Ponyboy to stay gold; that part was the most convincing, since it looked like he was actually dying and because of the way he said it.
He also describes her as, "the sun" that can "kill the envious moon" (II.2.3). As a way to describe Juliet’s eyes, Romeo says "two of the fairest stars in all the heaven" (II.2.15). Juliet will also compare Romeo to light throughout the play. She will show in different ways that he is her light that illuminates the darkness. Although light can represent love and beauty, it is not always good in the two lovers interest.
The entire topic of the movie is a very sensitive one, so Cruise was exceptional in making the viewer believe that he truly just wanted to get his half of the money from Raymond, and not build a relationship with him. Rain Main was entertaining because it kept you thinking
Both the Aegean/Ionian Sea and the Mississippi Valley prove to be very vacant, but quite traitorous as well as intriguing never the less. Also, both of the plots take place during very monumental periods of time in history, being the Roman Empire and the Great Depression. As you can see, despite their differences, the settings of The Odyssey and O Brother, Where Art Thou? are actually more similar that you might imagine. The characters in The Odyssey and O Brother, Where Art Thou?
“As it draws both on the narrative structure of the Odyssey and very pointedly alerts the reader of the film to its epic allusions at the beginning of the film with the words, ‘Based Upon the Homer’s Odyssey’ and its use of a quotation form the first line of the poem”(Cline). The book The Odyssey was thought to be written in 80 BC and was about a king named Odysseus who fought his way back home encountering many hurdles and people who tried to intrude on his homeward journey. While, The movie “O, Brother Where Art Thou?” was published in 2000 about a clan, Ulysses, Pete and Delmar’s hunt for destiny, encountering many obstacles and people along their journey to not be arrested, again. Though both these pieces are years apart, mismatched settings and told thru different eras they tell a story of an outrageous journey to return home. The journeys are different as well and the travels are very unalike but strongly resemble each other.
The wisest aunt, telling the saddest tale, Sometime for three-foot stool mistaketh me; Then slip I from her bum, down topples she, And 'tailor' cries, and falls into a cough; And then the whole quire hold their hips and laugh, And waxen in their mirth and neeze and swear A merrier hour was never wasted there. In Puck, by Sir Joshua Reynolds, for the Boydell Shakespeare Gallery, the once-dangerous figure is rendered harmless Puck is Oberon's servant sent by Oberon, who is angry with Titania the fairy queen because he could not have the indian boy/slave, so Puck is sent to fetch the flower that has been hit by cupid's arrows. Puck is then instructed by Oberon to use the love juice to fix the love entanglement occurring between the Athenian lovers who also happen to be running about in the forest. He mistakenly administers the charm to the sleeping Lysander instead of Demetrius. Puck
A heroin-addicted prostitute, utterly dependent on the terrifying pimp who supplies her drugs, she totters into toilets for regular fixes. She is beautiful, bright and sparky, but wrecked. Joe falls crazily in love with her, and love removes any control he might have had, hooking him into the ugly detritus of a drug-addict's world. Mind you, Joe had little control over his life before, and he constantly feels propelled by circumstances. In classical tragedy, a weakness in the central character inexorably drives the cartwheel of doom.
I obviously believe this was done intentionally, but with a second purpose. As this might have been to show how bright and happy Edwards’s future could have been. But how Mickey’s was gloomy and miserable, how his life was turning out. What’s more that played an important role in the play was the music. How it would set the scene, establishing the right mood for every tragic moment.
And last, the language of different scenarios, i.e. battles vs. joyous occasions, lends itself to glorifying deadly and gruesome struggles. Homer has a unique way of devising the plot, giving mixed signals and paradoxes, but it all just gives to the realism of this amazing piece of literature. Odysseus’ faithfulness for his wife is questionable. In the first book, you find that he is sleeping with a woman named Kalypso, a sea nymph.
