Truly successful authors have the ability to convey their view of a place without actually saying it, to portray a landscape in a certain light simply by describing it. In the provided excerpt taken from the opening paragraphs of “Shame,” Dick Gregory does just this. Through his use of stylistic elements such as selection of detail, old-fashioned language, repetition of words and simple sentences, Gregory reveals the shame within being poor setting the stage for a periodic ending.

The classic love and war story, A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, tells the story of Lieutenant Henry and his love, Catherine Barkley. Taking place in World War One and being published just a few years after, the book is loosely based on Hemingway's own personal experiences in the war. It explores the themes of love, war, hope, and grief. This book made waves when first released in the 1920s and had continued to remain a classic to this very day. Critics have both positive and negative things

Goliath & David Who am I? This is a question some guys would find hard to answer. They’re idiots. Usually, just one word will do. For me, that word is Commando. But, you want more, right? Humans always do. Well, whatever. Let’s just start with the way I used to live. With a name like Commando, you gotta be pretty scary. And I’m every bit as terrifying as I sound. I am a Pit Bull / Bulldog mix, making me the ideal fighting machine. And I always made sure everyone knew it. Most of the time, I was

How can more things be accomplished if no one is doing anything? Thomas Jefferson wrote, "Determine never to be idle... It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing." What's getting done if no ones doing anything? Getting things accomplished is actually very important to some people. The more they can get accomplished better off they'll be. Imagine someone that just lost their job, suppose they're just sitting at home not doing anything. What are they going to get accomplish if they're

Ruth came to America when she was a young girl in a family of Polish Jewish immigrants. Ruth married Andrew Dennis McBride, a black man from North Carolina.

As Laura Bugsbee’s feet pounded against the tarmac, she spotted the bee in her peripheral vision flying madly after her. “Get away from me!” she exclaimed as she ran wildly to escape the bee. She saw her house in the distance, and with a cry of relief, increased her speed. When she got to her buttercup yellow front door, she sprinted inside and shut the door with no time to spare. As soon as the door closed, she heard a thunk against the door. The bee had flown straight into the door. “Hmm… maybe

Disclaimer: I don't own the hunger games. If I did, I'd be Satan. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ The crowds of the colourful Capitol waved back at me through the window. If I want to survive, I guess I'll have to make the Capitol like me but sitting down, refusing to wave like Roland, isn't very likeable. I step away from the window when we enter the station. "You know, it's respectful to wave to people who want to see you" I say matter of factly to Roland. "I'm not being friendly towards people who enjoy seeing

It’s been awhile since I’ve written to you, my dear sister, and I suppose it’s my fault for not being able to keep up with writing. However, it is a little depressing about the bigger reason I wasn’t able to write to you. You must be worried sick, Lucina, but there’s no need to be worried about me! We both know that I can handle myself just fine in any situation, it’s what I was trained for, anyway. Anyway, aside from the babbling, I’m currently in Marne, and we were advancing, until the French

Poetry and a painting are both different. In poetry, we use our brain to read and we think about what the poetry means. In painting, we use our eyes to look at the painting, which is obvious. We evaluate the color, the background and so on. At the same time however, Poetry and painting are also similar. They both hidden a true message. Edward Hopper is considered one of the most iconic painter of all time. He was known for creating many iconic, valuable paintings. The one painting that tops his

In this essay, I would like to compare Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea with Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men because I believe they both dwell deeply on themes that concern us most as human beings. Isolation and loneliness is a constant theme in both novels, especially in Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men. It is a feeling we can all relate to at some point of our lives. Whether we are rich or poor, a scientist or an artist, we all experience the kind of feeling where we feel utterly alone in the world.

“The Drummer Boy of Shiloh” is full of different symbols representing different things that today we would only recognize as simliar obects in our own lifetime. Although, these symbols all represent important structures in understanding the short story called, “The Drummer Boy of Shiloh.” Most symbols are created for people to follow in their own lifetime and are very important to be recognized as in the Drummer Boy, the General, and the cherry blossoms. To begin with, one of the symbols created

Robin Hood, legendary outlaw hero of a series of English ballads, some of which date from at least as early as the 14th century. Robin Hood was a rebel, and many of the most striking episodes in the tales about him show him and his companions robbing and killing representatives of authority and giving the gains to the poor. Their most frequent enemy was the Sheriff of Nottingham, a local agent of the central government (though internal evidence from the early ballads makes it clear that the action
