    All alone, the creature wanders through the woods, learning about fire, sunlight, and resources along the way. He arrives at a village and hides in a shed, which is attached to the cottage of a family of three. He begins to observe this family’s behavior and everyday activities, seeing how they converse with one another and what they do to help each other. Although no one knows of his existence besides Victor, the creature feels like he is a part of these cottagers’ lives. The creature “[discovers] the names that were given to some of the most familiar objects of discourse… and the names of the cottagers” (Shelley 78). Slowly, he begins to learn the English language by listening to the family, whose names he learns are Felix, Agatha, and De Lacey. He mimics the sounds and words they pronounce with his own voice, allowing him to improve his skills in the language spoken by his role models. As he acquires more knowledge, his longing to interact with the cottagers he has admired for months…

    The poem follows the narrator’s internal monologue as he revisits a place of nostalgia that ignited his love of nature. His fears that the picturesque scene of his childhood has been idealized are quieted as he sees the place for the first time in five years, falling in love with the environment all over again. He even credits nature as “The anchor of my purest thoughts, the nurse,/The guide, the guardian of my heart, and soul/Of all my moral being” (Wordsworth LL. 109-111). His ecological thinking recharges his soul and makes him feel joyful about life once again. Nature also connects the narrator to his sister, who he sees himself in because of their love of the countryside. He acknowledges his sister the first time in the poem as his “dear, dear Friend; and in thy voice I catch/The language of my former heart, and read/My former pleasures in the shooting lights/Of thy wild eyes” (Wordsworth LL.…

    In The Curious Incident of the Dog in The Night-Time, the protagonist Christopher Boone copes with the loss of his mothers supposed death through the relationship he continues with his father. Christopher moves on with life very easily after his mother’s death by saying that “when mother died she didn’t go to heaven because heaven doesn’t exist”. Christopher’s approach to the allusion of Heaven is too realistic which causes him to view the situation in a much too logical way and thus enables him to accept the loss because it is presented in a way in which he understands. Furthermore the loss of his mother causes Christopher to become more dependent on his father and by doing this it creates a stronger relationship with his father that is built on trust. This relationship is maintained in the first half of the novel with Ed respecting Christopher in ways in which his mother didn’t such as being patient with him. Christopher’s character allows his order of thinking to help him cope under situations of loss and move on with ease.…

    In this passage, it's basically a psyofrantic person point of view. Because the person hears people telling him stuff. For Example, "I know that I felt myself drawn as a fish is drawn on a line.

    The structure helps you feel sympathy for the creature as you hear three points of view – Walton the explorer, Frankenstein and the creature. As the creature’s point of view is last, you feel sympathy for him because you first hear Frankenstein’s point of view and feel negatively towards the creature, however when you hear the creature’s point of view after that, you think that Frankenstein is exaggerating and you feel sorry for the creature and what Frankenstein has done to…

    Although people use corrective lens or have perfect vision, people do not always truly see. Percy and Cole express their differing beliefs regarding loss of perception and how it is attained in their respective essays, “The Loss of the Creature” and “Seeing Things”. Both authors agree that even though people may have perfect vision, they do not “truly see” things in front of them because their perception is lost and limited by their experiences. However, Percy believes perception is lost because of modern education while Cole believes perception is lost because of human limitations. Regardless of any similarities between the two authors, their disagreements are more dynamic.…

    In my opinion, I feel as though the boy is lonely, living in such a remote and desolate place, with only his father to spend his time with. For example Ondaatje says, “He was born into a region which did not appear on a map until 1910, though his family had worked there for twenty hears and the land had been homesteaded since 1816. In the school atlas the place is pale green and nameless. The river slips out of an unnamed lake…” (10-11). Patrick’s characteristics makes him seem sad or withdrawn from society, for he spends his time gazing out the window searching for bugs. Ondaatje exclaims, “He walks back into the bright kitchen and moves from window to window to search out the moths pinioned against the screens, clinging to the brightness… Bugs, plant hoppers, grasshoppers, rust-dark moths…throughout the summer he records their visits and sketches the repeaters “ (9). I feel bad for Patrick, that his only companions are the bugs flying around his house, in search for light. Although Patrick does have his father, his dad doesn’t pay him any attention, unless they are working together. Ondaatje says, “Hazen Lewis was an abashed man, withdrawn from the world around him, uninterested in the habits of civilization outside his own focus. He would step up to his horse and assume it, as if it were a train, as if flesh and blood did not exist” (15). It would be rough to grow up in that kind of unloving environment. It would be difficult to feel you had to earn your love. For Patrick’s father, only praises him when they are successful at work. For example, Ondaatje says, “They begin to run back home, looking behind them to see if the cow is following. The boy gasps, ‘If she goes into the ice again I’m not doing a thing’ ‘Neither am I’ yells his father, laughing” (16). The only part in the story when the boys Father demonstrates warmth and kindness towards his son, is when they save the cow from drowning. The fathers introverted attitude, makes me…

John seems to treat the narrator as if she really does have something wrong with her even though her “case is no serious”. He tells her that “nothing was worse for a nervous patient than to give way to such fantasies”. He puts the narrator in a “nursery” as if she is a small child. He refers to her as a “blessed little goose”. He also tries to keep her away from all contact with people. He tells her that her baby makes her “so nervous” and when she wants her cousins to visit he tells her that “he would as soon put fireworks in my pillow-case as to let me have those stimulating people about now”. The narrator describes the wallpaper as “torn off in spots and it sticketh closer than a brother,” which talks about her relationship with John which is strong but they still have a few problems. Also she says, “must have had perseverance as well as hatred” which means that she believes in John and thinks that he is doing what’s best for her however she does have a feeling of hatred sometimes for him because he keeps her locked in and doesn’t treat her as a normal…

    “The Monster” shares a similar idea of the idea that evil is found within that the Lord of the Flies symbolizes in the Lord of the Flies. The first verse of the song says, “I’m friends with monster that’s under my bed, get along with the voices inside of my head”. This closely resembles what the Lord of the Flies said to Simon which was, “‘Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill!’...’I’m part of you? Close, close, close! I’m the reason why it’s no go? Why things are they way they are?’”(Golding 143). “The voices inside of my head” was Simon believing the rotting sow head was talking to him. Golding portrays the Beast as inside you, which is what the verse “I’m friends with the monster” explains. This also means whatever…

    She downgrades the moth with harsh diction as she calls the moth’s actions “pathetic” and its life and opportunities “meagre.” Woolf explicitly adopts this negative point of view because after portraying all the energy in the rooks, she returns to observe the complete opposite, a plain moth. This transition from energetic to dull leads Woolf to recognize nothing but negative characteristics of the moth at first. She criticizes the moth and pities it by pointing out the moth’s weaknesses that make it seem vulnerable and susceptible to harm in an attempt to evoke the audience’s feelings of pity for it. Woolf continues to reiterate her perspective that the moth is frail and weak. However, this is where Woolf begins to reveal her contemplative nature. Woolf’s tone transitions into fascination as she compares the moth to a “tiny bead of pure life” whose actions resemble “dancing and zig-zagging.” Here, she illustrates the moth’s actions in a conflicting perspective in order to present the moth in the same light as the rooks, one filled with energy and life, which reveals her complex attitude towards the moth. Although Woolf is aware of the moth’s vulnerability, she attempts to engage the audience in the story itself by allowing them to share and experience her opposing perspectives. Woolf is indicating that no matter how minute or lackluster the moth may seem, it can also be wonderful in its attempts to enjoy…

A widow that belongs to an old abandoned house. Picture the loving family that grew up in that house and made many cookies in the kitchen. We feel compassion about all of the love and holidays spent there. There should have been so much love and potential in this house but now, it is a sad old house that is forgotten about.
