First we will deal with Shakespeare’s “The Seven Ages of Man. The poem commences with life being compared to a huge stage where all of us are only actors. According to Shakespeare, every man plays several parts during his life time. Infant, school boy, lover, soldier, magistrate, old man and the dying man-all these parts are played by us one after another on the stage that is this world, unless untimely called back to the place where we came from. Infancy - at this time all that the baby does is cry and he emerges as a school child.
Cather uses symbols of color in her story to build the character Paul in her short story, “Paul's Case.” When explaining Paul’s feelings toward where he lives, “he approached it tonight with the nerveless sense of defeat, the hopeless feeling of sinking back forever into ugliness and commonness that he had always had when he came home” (168). Vainness is another feature that portrayed to make the audience feel as if he were one’s own son and deserved a beating; “Paul entered the faculty room suave and smiling” (164), shows a boy often having no respect for his elders. Cather portrays Paul’s character as a daydreamer who lives in a fantasy world and cannot come to terms with reality. He wanted to live the life of the rich and famous, “he reflected upon the mysterious dishes that were brought into the dining-room, the green bottles in buckets of ice, as he had seen them in the supper party pictures of the Sunday supplement”

While Hamlet cries that he cannot “weep for [Hecuba]” (2.2.587) and how he cannot act or have the passion like the player, he has actually deceived himself, for he has played the part of the mad man so well, that he does not even recognize his own slip into madness. It immediately needs to be pointed out that Hamlet is a man of a very high education.
English Assignment Part B On the far outskirts of the Empire, a small village sits silently on a hillside surrounded in an eerie cloud of fog.

The opening metaphor sets the tone for the relationship between the two brothers: ""Saddled"" suggests the negative feelings the speaker has for his brother, as if he is an inconvenience, restricting the freedom of the speaker. The feelings of the characters in the poem are revealed through the choice of verbs. In the first stanza the speaker and his friend ""ambled"", ""talking"" as they went, whereas the younger brother ""skipped"" and was ""spouting six-year-old views"". The enthusiastic spirit of the younger brother reflects his pride and excitement at being with the older brother he clearly worships. This continues in the second stanza: ""sighed"" and ""stroll"" contrast with ""windmilled"", a metaphor full of the energy.
“The Drunkard” Questions 1. The humor in this story appears when the son is thirsty and gets drunk off of his father’s drink. The humor arises because of the situation and because of the boy’s drunken observations of life.
