advantage. Thus‚ the analysis of literature and poem becomes more interesting and intriguing when we eventually learn more about its historical and cultural background. In this essay‚ I am going to look through several poems of Walt Whitman: “O Captain! My Captain” and “Drum Taps.” These two precisely represent the struggles of the greatest event – American Civil War‚ which marked a defining moment in the United States History.

Two authors that have written about American consumerism‚ James Twitchell and Ian Frazier‚ have two different ways of expressing their thoughts in their essays even though the two topics are similar. In Twitchell’s essay‚ “Two Cheers for Materialism”‚ he expresses his views in a different way than Frazier does by taking a more serious approach. Frazier on the other hand‚ attempts a more comical view of the issue in his essay “All Consuming Patriotism”. However different their essays may be‚ they

There are very few people who are lucky enough to be a captain of a team. I am one of those lucky few people. On April 12‚ I had an audition to try out for a Color Guard Captain position. I had been waiting for that day since early February. On April 15th‚ the captains were announced. I heard my name‚ looked at Makayla Hurt‚ she heard her name‚ and we could not believe it.

There have been many versions of Captain Canuck since the birth of the original comic book in 1975. Captain Canuck was created in a wholly Canadian fashion‚ from the images presented in the comic itself: “From futuristic Mounties to a maple-leaf emblazoned snowmobile‚ Comely incorporated numerous Canadian references‚” (Edwardson 190); to the matter in which it was produced – almost completely vertically integrated in a Canadian manner (minus the American distribution company). And while the idea

interesting how easily people change when they encounter something unordinary. We can see this happen to the character Captain Nye‚ whose character in chapter 35 contrast with chapter 41. A friendly and helpful companion turns into a raging maniac when ill. One would then question: did he become a monster‚ or was he perhaps unleashing the monster that’s always been inside of him? At first‚ Captain Nye’s described to have possessed a “singular handiness about doing anything” and a “spirit of accommodation”

every rack‚ the prize we sought is won" The poem O Captain! My Captain! Written by Walt Whitman starts out by describing what happened at the begging of his eventful journey in which the captain and his sailors went on. In stanza one the captain and his sailors arrive at their destination point when suddenly the captain falls cold and dead‚ just short of his final destination. If I were to judge why he ended up like that I would say the captain stole a treasure‚ which belonged to someone else.

The perspective of Captain Nemo can be complex. It can change in an instant. The perspective of captain Nemo to the ocean can be obscure. It doesn’t say much of the perspective of Captain Nemo to Professor Aronnax too. The perspective of Captain Nemo to the people on land‚ on earth can be brutal. Captain Nemo is a perplexing character. The captain’s view to the ocean is always grand. Captain Nemo’s “land” is the ocean. The ocean is his life. The book states that Captain Nemo had been in the ocean
