    Grendel Vs Goat

    Grendel has a difficult time trying to find his place in his own world, and this is made even more difficult by watching the brute, unthinking creatures who seemed to live and breathe without one iota of angst. Towards the end of the novel every piece of mechanical imagery comes together when the goat arrives. Even as it is injured, bleeding, and dying, the goat keeps climbing forward. Unlike the ram, which frustrates Grendel, and the bull, which amuses him, the goat haunts him with its mindless persistence. As the goat keeps climbing toward its imminent death, it also foreshadows Grendel’s upcoming death. While Grendel scorns the stupidity of nature, the novel also asks us to consider whether Grendel, who goes willingly to Beowulf, though…

    Throughout the novel, The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri, the character Gogol changes in many different ways. One of the most apparent changes was in his "Indian ness". By "Indian ness" I mean the amount of his parents Bengali ways and traditions that he retained. While growing up he did everything in his power while growing up to stray away from his parents' Bengali ways. Gogol spent most of his life trying to differ from his parents, however in the end he ends up obeying their wishes as to who he marries. As he was growing up Gogol felt only embarrassment and shame because of his background and because his parents did things differently than his other American friends' parents. For example, unlike his American friends, while in college Gogol had to return home every other weekend to accompany his parents to their Bengali friends' parties. Throughout his life he tried to shed his parent's un-American lifestyle but in the end he succumbed to his past and ancestry.…

    On the other hand, the quote, “Something occurred to me. Had I ever seen Mr. Barron’s eyes? Had I ever given either of them a hard look? How many other roles in my life had this chameleon played?” (Riggs 288), demonstrates how the human display of Dr. Golan and his role being Jacob’s therapist aided his genuine intentions to be hidden. Moreover, both stories emphasize the consequences of judgement by assuming something's aspect based on its visual appearance when lacking the knowledge of the content and shows how it can negatively affect the outcome. The moral of the circumstances that both stories convey state that unexpected things come from unexpected places, taking up any shape or size which shows the reason why to never judge a book by its cover.…

    Greg’s mom the next day took him school shopping and he didn’t like the school clothes she was getting him. The mood that author wants to give would want to give would be embarrassed because of the clothes she gets him. “I asked if dad can get me some more clothes and she said yes but that was a mistake because he does all his shopping at the pharmacy” (142). This is important because Greg should go and buy his own clothes instead of complaining when his parents don’t buy the clothes he likes. This is also important because Greg told his dad to go and Greg will stay home but if he wants the clothes he likes then he needs to speak up and tell his dad. By the end of that week Greg was bummed because school starts that next week and he hated school, he also didn’t want to wear the embarrassing clothes that his parents got…

I’ve got a copy somewhere, let me look.” The dad just wants to help his daughter, but she thinks that all he thinks about is her school work. My thesis that she is a bit too lazy and doesn’t care about her work is proven. By reading the text in the story, it says, “As soon as he leaves, I put the book on my nightstand and use it as a coaster.” No respect for the book that her dad gave her to read.…

    The habit of reading is one of the greatest resources of mankind; and we enjoy reading books that belong to us much more than if they are borrowed. A borrowed book is like a guest in the house; it must be treated with punctiliousness, with a certain considerate formality. You must see that it sustains no damage; it must not suffer while under your roof. You cannot leave it carelessly, you cannot mark it, you cannot turn down the pages, you cannot use it familiarly. And then, some day, although this is seldom done, you really ought to return it.…

    Gordie had an older brother named Dennis, but he died in a car accident. This was life changing for Gordie because the only person that supported Gordie in his family was Dennis. Dennis was someone who Gordie looked up to and understood that Dennis is the one who will guide Gordie to a better future. When Dennis was alive, Gordie was never noticed at home by any of his parents, Gordie even once said “I was like the Invisible Boy” (King 298). It was like Gordie’s parents only wanted one child, and that was Dennis. This was a point in Gordie’s life where he needed someone to help him from collapsing. But Gordie’s parents paid even less attention to Gordie after Dennis’s death. Gordie’s father is similar to Vern’s father because both fathers do not abuse their child, but on the other side, they don't give the desired attention to their kids. Gordie’s relationship with his father is not strong. He would talk to his father and all, but it is not that strong of a father son relationship. Gordie’s dad also hates Gordie’s friends and calls them thieves. This shows that Gordie’s father is aware of Gordie’s surroundings and is paying little attention to him. But not keeping track of where Gordie is all day and what he is doing, makes Gordie’s father a weak example of a strong father. Gordie also is looking for a sense of belonging outside of his house and during the trip he saw something that made…
