    Sir Gawain And The Green Knight Literary Analysis

    The English poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a significant piece in Arthurian Literature. The story approaches Gawain’s character much differently than in Sir Thomas Malory’s well-known Le Morte d’Arthur. Unlike Malory’s version of the Arthurian legend where Sir Lancelot is known as the Round Table’s finest Knight, the author of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight chose, instead, to have Sir Gawain play the role of Camelot’s most noble gentleman. In staying true to the theme of chivalry and virtue, the Gawain Poet tells a captivating story of a knights struggle to uphold the chivalric code in the face of temptation and danger.…

    Analysis Of Aa Gyasi's Homecoming

    aa Gyasi’s Homegoing, my eyes were opened to a history that is often swept under the rug; stories frequently deemed unspeakable and inappropriate due to the gravitas and the guilt attached. Its multigenerational narrative struck me as a compelling strategy in describing the history of oppression faced by black Americans by creating characters shaped by their ancestors, yet all driven by their own motivations and desires for happiness in life.…

    The Lord Of The Flies: Character Analysis

    All the boys deserted Ralph, Piggy, and Simon and chose Jack’s tribe. While the two tribes are separated at the opposite sides of the island they still run into each other with conflicts in hand. Jack’s tribe did not have fire so they snuck up on Ralph's tribe and attacked them while sleeping. They stole Piggy’s glasses and left them with nothing against the spine-chilling night, “We’ve had a fight with the others” (167). Another issue was with the group of hunters that made their first kill when hunting while in charge of keeping the fire going. All the hunters that stayed back decided to leave the fire and to go kill the pig. With no one there to keep the fire going, it extinguished. Meanwhile, on the beach Ralph is looking out to sea and spies a thin line of smoke move across the sea, everyone jumped for joy, but then realized there was no smoke signal to catch the ship's attention. Returning from the forest, the hunters yelling out excitedly, “Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her blood” (69). Ralph realizes that he can not do everything and feels the heat of being…

    Fear In Lord Of The Flies

    In the midst of danger, one will make irrational decisions. On the island, the boys are faced with many types of fears. Once the boys hear that there is a “beastie” on the island, one of Jack’s first ideas is to hunt it down. When Ralph doesn’t agree that they should be out searching for the beast, conflicts arise among Jack and Ralph which result in the separation of group. Without Ralph and Piggy, Jack’s group eventually turn to savages and do as they please, not feeling guilty or caring for a thing that happens. The boys recite an incantation right before Simon stumbles upon the camp and is brutally murdered by the boys, thinking that Simon is the beast. “Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!” (Golding 152). The death of Simon is a major turning point in the story because it signifies the boys’ major deterioration in morality and how less and less careless they’ve gotten since the crash. Another type of fear the boys are faced with is the fear of Jack. As the novel advances, Jack becomes more and more of a ruthless tyrant. He uses Roger to torture Samneric and by that action, he shows that he is powerful and whoever doesn’t listen to Jack will be punished…

    Anseo By Paul Muldoon Analysis

    Ireland has a long custom of valuing education going back as far as the monastic and bardic traditions and it fundamentally survived the spread of the English language and Protectionism as well as the outcomes of the Act of Union that regularised education in Ireland. With the arrival of the Education Act of 1831 Irish was removed as the medium of teaching causing the decline in the language. The rise of nationalism that followed which still continues, created a sense of patriotism within the community at home and abroad, which generated a rose tinted view of language and culture. Daniel O’ Connell however was a realist in this argument and recognised the value for the English language and need to empathise with the Irish cultural dimension.…
