Bridge To Terabithia 2
Bridge to Terabithia 2 has style and tone that are both different and similar to the original novel. The similarities in style in Bridge to Terabithia 2 are shown when the author uses a quote from the original novel to further emphasize the theme of friendship found in both stories. The author writes, “Leaning in closely she whispered in his ear, ‘Remember Jess, nothing crushes us.’” (6). Both texts show a very close bond between Jess and Leslie. The fanfiction focuses on their relationship even more, showcasing the couple’s neverending belief in each other. In a meaningful display of this theme, the author of Bridge to Terabithia 2 writes that Jess died for a reason, to save Leslie. In the fanfiction, the tone was distinct but still held

    In Rebecca Kanner’s Sinners and the Sea and Yasmina Reza’s The God of Carnage the human capacity to commit violence is emphasized. Kanner portrays violence during the time of Noah time before and during the flood. The sinners of the town of Sorum, as well as some members of Noah’s family, commit acts of violence toward one another. Reza portrays violence with the same intensity as Kanner, but with a limited cast of characters. The difference between the two portrayals of violence is that Kanner uses evil as a transformative force, while Reza depicts evil as an end. Kanner is hopeful that evil restores the good, while Reza believes that evil does not bring positive outcomes.…

    When does a boy become a man? This rite of passage is explored in Robert Fagles ' translation of Homer 's epic poem, The Odyssey. Odysseus (king of Ithaca) fought in the Trojan War for ten years and after the fall of Troy he spent the next ten years trying to get home. He left behind an infant son, Telemachus, and a devoted wife, Penelope. Although they longed for Odysseus ' return, Penelope and Telemachus were the perfect hosts to wayward strangers - even as their estate became overrun with arrogant suitors - men intent on marrying Penelope and taking possession of the throne. Athena, goddess and daughter of Zeus, is instrumental in encouraging Telemachus to begin his journey to adulthood saying, "You must not cling to your boyhood any longer - / it 's time you were a man." (1, 341 - 342).…

    In the short story, “By the Waters of Babylon,” the human quest for knowledge is sometimes dangerous but cannot be extinguished. John understands that the only way to gain more knowledge is to explore the world around him even though such expedition involves great risks. During the conversation between John and his father, he expresses his true thoughts about himself. He feels the need to finally go on a journey to fulfill his burning desire for more insight. John states, “My knowledge and my lack of knowledge burned in me… It is time for me to go on my journey. Give me your leave.” The decision to travel alone on this quest for knowledge emphasizes his bravery and his dedication towards his persistent passion. Furthermore, John seeks to explore the Place of the Gods where he believes more knowledge can be discovered although the trek may result in his own demise. He is more concerned in discovery than he is about his safety. As he begins to close in on the Place of the Gods, he declares, “My heart was cold as a frog and my knees like water, but the burning in my mind would not let me have peace. As I pushed the raft from the shore, I began my death song…” John’s thoughts suggest that he is very afraid but the need to fulfill his destiny overpowers his fear and foreboding. Despite the vastness and the speed of the river, his motivation spurs him to put to rest the stories and myths about the Place of the Gods. Upon his return to his village, John discusses his exploits with his father, promising to be completely truthful. After hearing his stories about his journey to the Place of the Gods, John’s father says, “Truth is a hard deer to hunt. If you eat too much truth at once, you may die of the truth.” His words of wisdom imply that sometimes, the truth can do more harm than good. It can be enlightening, but at the same time, it can be totally devastating, if the mind cannot comprehend the information. In conclusion, the…

    The Hero's Journey is never an easy one. This particular journey, as detailed in Homer's The Odyssey, is one of struggle, loss, heartache, pain, growth and triumph. It is comprised of many steps that Odysseus has to overcome and battle through in order to achieve his final goal of reaching his home and his loved ones. From the Call to Adventure to the Freedom or Gift of living, Odysseus conquered them all. The story begins in the middle of the story, as many of the oral Greek traditions did, with the Journey of Telemachus to find his father. Although Telemachus has not yet met his father, it is almost as if they are journeying together, where the end of both of their journeys results in being reunited. Telemachus journeys from being a boy to becoming a man, while out in the sea Odysseus is battling Poseidon to return to the home that wife that he loves and the home he has left behind.…

    The Middle Passage

    The Middle Passage was seen as the most terrible version of the slave trade. It was the event during the slave trade that one can argue stripped African people of power and pride. The African body was taken and forced to endure this passage to eventually be sold. This was a ship that the African believe that will take them to their fate. Slaves were captured in Africa and then squashed into wooden crates where they were clamped in chains. They were then loaded onto the ships and there were two ways in which they could be loaded. There was “tight pack”- where they would be laid on their sides, therefore you could fit more slaves in a ship, and there was “loose pack” where they were allowed to lay on their backs with just 14 inches of space each, so neither was particularly comfortable especially as they were lain on rough wooden shelves and clamped together so none could move without moving the rest of their row with them. The conditions below deck on the slave’s ships were appallingly unhealthy. During the average 4-7 week journey below deck was cleaned only once every few weeks averaging around being cleaned around 3 times in a journey-This took place whilst the slaves were exercised. The smell below deck was of vomit, sweat, urine, excrement, and was described as a “bile puking smell”. This was also made worse by the hot dense conditions. The noise was also awful – there was screams of agony, retching of people being sick, moaning, crying as people were scared of what lay ahead of them, chains clattering as people squirmed on the rough benches, and the sound of the waves battering against the ships sides. There was very little light in the slave hold as the trapdoor was shut and there could be no candles as the ships were wooden and the swaying of the ship could’ve knocked the candles over and set the ship alight. The air in the hold was dusty and humid, as there was very little fresh air, as there were no windows. All these elements mixed together, it was…

    At last, when the ship we were in had got in all her cargo, they made ready with many fearful noises, and we were all put under deck, so that we could not see how they managed the vessel. But this disappointment was the least of my sorrow. The stench of the hold while we were on the coast was so intolerably loathsome, that it was dangerous to remain there for any time, and some of us had been permitted to stay on the deck for the fresh air; but now that the whole ship’s cargo were confined together, it became absolutely pestilential. The closeness of the place, and the heat of the climate, added to the number in the ship, which was so crowded that each had scarcely room to turn himself, almost suffocated us. This produced copious perspirations, so that the air soon became unfit for respiration, from a variety of loathsome smells, and brought on a sickness among the slaves, of which many died, thus falling victims to the improvident avarice, as I may call it, of their purchasers. This wretched situation was again aggravated by the galling of the chains, now become insupportable; and the filth of the necessary tubs, into which the children often fell, and were almost suffocated. The shrieks of the women, and the groans of the dying, rendered the whole a scene of horror almost inconceivable. Happily perhaps for myself I was soon reduced so low here that it was thought necessary to keep me almost always on deck; and from my extreme youth I was not put in fetters. In this situation I expected every hour to share the fate of my companions, some of whom were almost daily brought upon deck at the point of death, which I began to hope would soon put an end to my miseries. Often did I think many of the inhabitants of the deep much more happy than myself; I envied them the freedom they enjoyed, and as often wished I could change my condition for theirs. Every circumstance I met with served only to render my state more painful, and heighten my apprehensions, and my opinion of…
