    Haunted Courage And The Way To Rainy Mountain

    The texts, “Undaunted Courage” and “The Way To Rainy Mountain” depict the land as a spiritual entity that’s worth being worshipped and respected as shown by man’s praise of it. The way man, rather than exploit it for profit, respects the land through animism shows their gratitude for it. From the detailed descriptions that give the reader an illustration of what man has seen, it is clear to say that man had this religious relationship again, but was also in tune with the lay of the land.…

    Examples Of Nurture In Frankenstein

    Three events led to the creature’s turning point at which he started doing evil things. He was completely rejected by society when the DeLaceys chased him away, when [they] shot him after he saved a girl from downing, and when he discovered Victor Frankenstein’s papers describing his disgust in his creation. These overwhelmingly negative experiences led the creature to commit evil deeds. He was angered that he was forced to live an isolated life, even by his own creator. The creature was driven to murder Victor Frankenstein’s closest family and friends because of his immense…

    'The suffering in Frankenstein is undeserved'. How far and in what ways do you agree with the view of Shelley's presentation of suffering?

    The creature’s suffering is, at least initially, the most undeserved. He is brought into the world by Frankenstein and is then left, and becomes lonely. He is also treated badly by people for the way that he looks, which is not something he can help. The creature says “There was none… who would pity or assist me… I declared ever-lasting war against the species… and against him who had formed me and sent me forth to this insupportable misery”. These are the reasons he gives for changing the way he was – kind and good - as society had gone against him. This starts with the destruction of Felix’s house after the creature is beaten for visiting his father. It is here that he takes vengeance, and continues his vengeance elsewhere by killing those close to Frankenstein. As the being takes revenge after being hurt by the De Lacey family, he must have been born good, but society changed him because he had not done anything wrong before this point. This would mean that on one hand, he doesn’t deserve to suffer as he did because it is the fault of society that changed him. However, because he had a moral compass and free will, he should know what he was doing was wrong, and could therefore be deserving of the suffering he endures. He murders, among others, a young boy called William. William did not want to befriend the creature as…

    The article “Literature As Survival: Allende’s The House of The Spirits” by Peter Earle argues that literature such as The House of the Spirits and One Hundred Years of Solitude brought historical awareness of what occurred in Latin America. Additionally, the story is “living on” and it is a celebration of reality in Latin America (Earle 543). Both Garcia Marquez and Isabel Allende wrote about Latin American history in a way that it can be forever remembered.…

    A. J. Smith's The Lonely Land

    A.J.M. Smith’s the Lonely Land is a poetic version of Canada’s sky scraping trees and rustling grasses. It is the text equivalent of Canada’s rocky beaches lined with trees thick as castle walls and small ponds with rain drop ripples. It communicates Canadian nature and the experience it brings as well as appeals to human senses all without the presence of a single human. All this contributes to it being a great poem about Canadian nature. A.J.M. Smith’s the Lonely Land successfully illustrates Canada’s nature and its experience because of its sole focus on nature.…

    Acquainted With The Night

    Robert Frost's “Acquainted with the Night” portrays a life filled with depression due to isolation. Frost's personal experiences may have influenced the poem because he was known to have a sad life with many deaths in his family. This left him depressed and cut off from the world. The title gives insight into Frost’s bleak and lonesome world, where the darkness of night makes no impression on him. He uses a descriptive language with an array of different symbols in his poem “Acquainted with the Night”. The poem uses symbols like the rain, silence, and darkness which are things felt during night, the watchman, and the moon to demonstrate his depression and has a distinctive poetic form to stress the poem's tone.…

    Acquainted with the Night was a short poem written in 1928, by a great American author named Robert Frost. At an early age, Frost dealt with many dilemmas; his father died of tuberculosis when Frost was 11, and his mother to cancer when he was 26 (Robert).These few of many tragic events caused Frost’s depression, and poetry was the one thing that held him together. Throughout Acquainted with the Night, there are endless examples of Frost’s depression. Words such as darkness, loneliness, and rain are words that set the theme of depression and social atmosphere, which really symbolizes what Frost’s poem was about. Frost’s poem is interpreted different ways, and that is one of the reasons why he is such a great writer.
