I would of thought Ziegfield was loosing it, don't fix what's not broken. Although this was a bold decision, it turned out Fanny could in fact do it all. She had the audience in the palm of her hands with her long lagatto song about her man. This song has made her the unbelievable superstar she is today. Written by Maurice Yvain and lyrics by Channing Pollack, the song is about her man, that doesn't seem to be the best guy around but he's hers to keep and she loves him so.
Symbolic: Chuck Schuldiner’s Perseverance “When did it begin? The change to come was undetectable. The open wounds expose the importance of our innocence. A high that can never be bought or sold.” Death-Symbolic. When referring to stories of success, one can mention the fact that success breeds fame, fortune, and everything else that appeals to typical human society.
Janie’s Undying Quest for Love All human hearts, at their core, desire love. What this love comes to mean can differ from person to person. How one is brought up can greatly influence their view on what true love is and, for some, leave them without happiness. In Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, Janie finds true love only when she lets go of what society is telling her to do. Although her Grandmother taught her that love is settling with a wealthy man, Janie does not give up on her vision of love.
Even though he found out the hard way he understands the way of life. The Epic of Gilgamesh I thought was a superior epic poem. I absorbed a lot from all the themes. First, love for someone is an inspiring influence; if you really adore someone or something you should undergo pain when it’s gone. Second, The inescapability of death; no one can live forever so benefit the time you have and let every moment count.
He loves this beautiful, innocent virgin who faces the most untimely of deaths. He goes on to explain that death overcomes everyone, even the “humble” and “meek”. Death has no pity over someone’s life instead it overcomes everyone at some point. Age doesn’t matter either, death takes life whenever. It is important that someone overcome with sorrow has friends to comfort them through awful, devastating times.
He states that he is content with dying because at least the wont die a coward. He also talks about not getting killed and how fortunate he is for surviving as long as he did. Despite the rest of the journals being hopeful and grateful, there is one entry where he refers to life during warfare “hell”. However this is perfectly understandable due to everything he has been through, he is most definitely sick of the war and the violence. While both jobs are extremely important and are jobs that require strength and determination, if I had to choose between the two I would choose Lloyds job.
Of what I’ve read so far in “The Things They Carried”, all of the stories that the author tells seem to end in sorrow. Well of course, war itself isn’t the happiest of things, but I at least expected a story about winning a battle or something along those lines. The poem, “Thoughts of You” captures the essence of the relationship between Mark Fossie and Mary Ann. Lines from the poem, such as “Thoughts of you make me smile” or “Thoughts of you give me strength” shows how Mark thought of Mary before she flew over to Vietnam. The thought of her made him stronger, and helped him cope with the stresses of the war.
In the fantastical world that is Cyrano de Bergerac, there exists the type of hero that has been lost in the modern world. Although Cyrano feels the ache of a heart “so heavy with love [he has] not told”, and the forlorn anxiety that he would “die without telling [Roxane]”, he is still the most kind and brave of friends. Since childhood, Cyrano had been by Roxane’s side. He was the one that she could depend on to be there for her, to play with, and she was there for him¾when he would hurt his hand; she would say “Now, what have you been doing to yourself…” The nature of Cyrano’s affection had always been true, and never for any
Gawain is hardest upon himself because he has such faith within higher powers and he felt as if he owed them his forever servitude. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight shows the inner struggles of Gawain to be completely faithful to everyone he encounters. By the end of the poem he feels as if he has failed even though he has done far more than any other knight could have envisioned doing. Sir
Dying," Morrie suddenly said, "is only one thing to be sad over, Mitch. Living unhappily is something else. So many of the people who come to visit me are unhappy." (35) I think this quote means that dying is one thing, but if you live your whole life unhappy then you will never appreciate what have you accomplished. Yes, Morrie was dying but was happy with his accomplishments.
