    The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss is a great book for children when they have nothing better to do, or they just want to read. This book keeps young readers engaged by the countless rhymes and surprises that are thrown into the book. Yet, it is more than just a children's book. It contains important themes for young readers to understand. In fact, it shares several themes with another well-known children's novel, William Golding's Lord of the Flies. One theme that the two have in common is that when adult supervision is absent, children's figurative and literal "beasts" come out.…

    “A peanut-brown boy with curly hair, he seemed to know everything,” (McPherson 9). Comparing the color of a peanut to the skin color of a boy that the main character notes is important in contributing to McPherson’s ongoing connection between lifeless objects and the colors of everyday life. It’s this type of diction that the author uses that develops a childish tone throughout the story. Not only does the author use this connection between two different parts of speech but he also uses adjectives to develop the colorful tone of the story. “These happy children would pull and twist the long arms of billowy crepe paper into wondrous, multicolored plaits,” (McPherson 13). The main character describes his observation of the colors around the Maypole as “wondrous,” which continues to develop the tone of vibrant and youthful colorfulness throughout the story. The adjectives the author uses have a childish ambience to them, including “wondrous,” which creates a visualization of the main character as a young boy staring in awe at the colors of the Maypole. “A deep blue bandanna enclosed her head with the wonder of a summer sky. Black patent leather shoes glistened like half-hidden stars beneath the red and white of her hemline,” (McPherson 18). The author continues to portray the main character as a young man infatuated with the colors around him to amplify and extend the tone of color in the story through a childish…

    When describing his perception of the widow as a child he says it was, “worthy of ritual disposition, like an enemy whose death is not sufficient.” By using this simile, he helps his audience gain a better sense of what he was taught to believe as a young boy which is that the spider has no regard for life and kills or hurts without a motive. Alliteration can also be found at the end of this essay when Grice writes, “world with the widow.” He wants the reader to focus on that section of the text because it contains the important meaning that God created the widow for a reason, although one may not perceive it that way. Grice strategically uses parallelism in this essay as well. When describing the fears people direct towards the widow, he says, “It is black; it avoids the light; it is a voracious carnivore.” The use of the phrase “it is” is repeated in these lines to organize the idea and make it easier to understand. He utilizes these literary devices so he can portray the overall meaning to the readers in a way they can connect to and understand…

    Wuthering Heights contained many themes throughout the book. However, there are some that were more prominent. Revenge and social classes surround the novel. It shows how the two main characters, Heathcliff and Catherine, were brought together and had this strong connection between them, but the division of society separated them from happiness. Revenge acts like a stimulus for Heathcliff throughout the plotline and builds up the story so it is not some let down love story.…

    In my opinion, the punishments are fair for James Gansman and Gerald Brodsky because they both violated the law. I think that the sentence for Gansman should have been harsher because he leaked out his company information to Donna just to brag. This indicates how Gansman was being unfaithful to Ernst and Young and how the management issues affect the company. It is also too late for Ernst and Young to find out this activity. The company should have evaluated each employee before they get their promotion and determine whether their personality traits fit in that position. However, based on he has done, it would be very difficult when he tries to find another job in the future. However, I think Murdoch is the one who really deserve a harsher punishment because she uses Gansman to achieve these information and share it with Brodsky. Even though there is no definition of inside trading in the U.S. law system, she has obviously breaks the law because it is not fair trading in this case. It is ridiculous that Murdoch has being set free.…

    4. The thing that makes the spider web miraculous is that it is in an inconvenient place and it’s a mess of a web but the spider still works with it and manages to survive, even thrive, using it. Dillard has shown in this essay that she is very fond of nature and the natural world and that she finds everything about nature fascinating and beautiful and she romanticizes things that usually have a bad reputation such as spiders.…

    For example, “warping” and “darkened” create a foreboding sense that highlights the child's fear (lines 1 and 2). Also, Wilbur includes a “forest bird” to calm the child by saying that words can make people afraid and can misguide one from the truth. In “The History Teacher” the teacher understates that the “Enola Gay” dropped a “tiny atom” instead of an atomic bomb (line 12). The children believed what the teacher had taught. In addition, Collins describes the teachers flaws by stating that “he gathered up his notes and walked home” while the children “leave his classroom for the playground to torment the weak and the smart” (lines 18 and 14-16). Instead of the teacher controlling the situation, he ignores it and proves that he is inadequate to educate children.…

    However the activities, physical and mental, actions and behaviour demonstrated by the rabbits in Watership Down are typically the things that humans would expect from rabbits. This said, Charlotte's behaviour in Charlotte's Web, is what we might expect to see from a human being. Her spinning of the web with a word or two in it is not common activities for spiders. While examining the animal's actions, partially sheds light on the stories that we are reading. It helps unravel the ideas and advance the plot. It does not however, give us insight into the behaviour, specifically the god-like actions that demonstrate anthropomorphism in both these novels. While all the characters in both these novels are earthly there is usually at least one in each that has some God-like character traits. The anthropomorphism that we see in Charlotte is the prime example being examined from both novels. While Charlotte is Wilbur's savior and protector, she is still only a spider. White does not give her the physical ability to do things that a spider cannot normally do. Therefore, she must save Wilbur in a way that makes it possible for a spider to do. She spins a web that becomes a miracle, which in turn saves Wilbur from his almost uncertain death. The thought of that is nonsensical within itself. How could a spider have the brainpower to devise…

    In Manuel Puig’s novel Kiss of the Spider Woman, Molina and Valentin use fantasy as a way of escapism. Firstly, Molina uses the films he tells in the cell to escape his unfavorable and lonely life by creating a preferred reality through the fantasy he creates in them. Secondly, the setting of the cell itself provides Molina with a sanctuary from the outside world, allowing him to escape from the gender roles in which he is confined in and fantasize about taking on the feminine role with Valentin through the isolation of jail. Lastly, in Valentin’s morphine-induced fantasy at the end of the novel, he can escape from the socially accepted stereotypical male gender roles and express his true feelings about Molina.…

    They had just recently developed a new strain that was high in CBD, the medically beneficial compound in weed, and very low in THC, the compound that gets you high. The brothers had trouble selling it because those looking for recreational marijuana weren’t looking for anything like this strain. The brothers were very cautious about meeting the Figi’s when they learned of Charlotte’s age, but were quick to agree to sell them the strain after meeting the family. Josh Stanley was very influenced by the Figi’s story, implying that Charlotte was like family to the six brothers: “Charlotte is the most precious little girl in the world to me. I will do anything for her” (Young, CNN). The brothers have been able to sell the medically beneficial strains for next to nothing, helping out families across the country. The strain the brothers created for Charlotte needed a name, and it got a fitting one, Charlotte’s Web.…

    “The Spider and the Wasp” is an excellent example of prose. Alexander Petrunkevitch has created a work that entertains as well as educates. The way in which Petrunkevitch develops the prose is particularly notable. In the introduction the writer introduces the central idea of the essay rather abruptly. Usually this is ineffective however in the case of “The Spider and the Wasp” this abrupt introduction serves to grab the readers attention.…
