The Tempest Research Paper

270 Words2 Pages

With the first two drafts, I felt I did a good job with collecting multiple points to catch

on to my idea of Caliban being viewed as a monster with reasons of how and why. An example being

racism downplaying African people and other non-Europeans as savages or sub-humans. I also thought

I did a good job with examples of Caliban being portrayed as a monster because of his betrayal against

Prospero for forcing to become his personal slave. However with the comment guidelines from the

professor and through my own corrections, I noticed my use of summarizing The Tempest with the first

three pages a lot. So I took most of the summarizing paragraphs and use the rest to intensify my view

of how and why Caliban was portrayed as a monster.

    755 Words  | 4 Pages

    Book Review: Isaac’s Storm Introduction: Isaac’s Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History, written by Erik Larsen, is a book which may very well be called one-of-a-kind, as it describes one of the most disastrous of the natural calamities of the world-the Galveston hurricane of 1900 and the events which precede it. The author has carefully analysed the hurricane, scrutinized the impact caused by the actions of several people prior to the hurricane that ultimately resulted in massive destruction (Larson, 2011). He has pointed out with precision how the wrongful thought processes of that time led to such a tragedy. Review: The author has pointed out the fact that the thoughtless actions of some men are mostly to blame for the tragedy.

    Cesaire states “A civilization that chooses to close its eyes to its most crucial problem is stricken civilization” (Cesaire 47). In the poem, Ariel seemed to have warned Caliban of the evil acts that Prospero was planning to do to him and this made Caliban greet him with a lot of suspicion. Caliban respond to Ariel by asking him if the old man had sent him. He swiftly rebuked Ariel by blaming him for not resisting Prospero’s orders. Caliban also made a sarcastic statement when he stated that Ariel had done great job of doing the job that the Master wanted him to do (Cesaire 28).

    Galileo's discoveries were, to a great extent, a turning point in astronomy and science. His development with the telescope helped further the understanding of the universe, and his investigation of the laws of motion provided fundamental contributions to science. However, due to the power of the Catholic church, his impact on science did not happen immediately. Born in Pisa, Galileo was a true renaissance man, excelling at many different endeavours. He was an Italian philosopher, mathematician, physicist and astronomer, and is credited for laying the foundations of modern science.

    Rhetorical Analysis I alter use in the body paragraphs in order to show how Andy ( a lower class character) is an example of “heredity” since he takes over his late father’s position at the coal mine. In other words, the way I use quotes in my Rhetorical Analysis demonstrate that I have learned to take in consideration all parts of the quotes. Even though I have improved in considering all parts of the quote when using them as supporting evidence, I actually got to notice that I make arguments that are more than what I can possibly support with evidence from the text. This issue was pointed out to me in the comments left in turnitin.com by Dr. Danner. This problem in my writing was pointed out in my Rhetorical Analysis when I wrote, “under

  • Annotating In The Odyssey

    1132 Words  | 5 Pages

    I really enjoyed the story and even more so the way people talked and what was sociably acceptable in the time of the story. I disliked the amount of time it took to complete a chapter and this was a struggle for me to want to put that time for annotating instead of something else. I enjoyed most the feeling of accomplishment on completing the entire set of four books, and looking back over my annotations it looked much nicer than what I had so that also felt accomplishing. The most frustrating part of the assignment was finishing one book and knowing you still had more to do, especially because I did not time organize in my favor. My standards, I feel, are low and probably why I also feel like there is more I need to do, the problem is that the feeling of incompleteness is not driving me to work on it more.

  • The Tempest In The Wilderness Analysis

    This week we discussed ‘“The Tempest” in the Wilderness: A Tale of Two Frontiers’ by Ronald Takaki. In this article, the author discusses the differences between savagery and civilization. The main argument in this argument is shown in the form of examples of how the Indians and Irish were simply harmless at first when discovering the New World, but quickly made into monsters by the English men. I’m sure we’ve all learned in history of John Smith’s description of how the Powhatans cared for the sick and dying English men.
