William Wordsworth: Michael IF from the public way you turn your steps Up the tumultuous brook of Greenhead Ghyll‚ You will suppose that with an upright path Your feet must struggle; in such bold ascent The pastoral mountains front you‚ face to face. But‚ courage! for around that boisterous brook The mountains have all opened out themselves‚ And made a hidden valley of their own. No habitation can be seen; but they Who journey thither find themselves alone With a few sheep‚ with

William Glynne-Jones Squint‚ the foreman moulder‚ stood with his arms folded on the wooden planks covering the heavy-castings’ pit. He peered at the men as they bustled around in the casting bay‚ getting the moulds ready. "Get a move on‚" he rasped. "It’s up-ladle at three. You’ve got ten minutes left. Hey‚ you - Owen and Ritchie! Close that spindle." He pointed to a mould‚ its top and bottom half contained in two steel boxes‚ approximately seven feet long by three wide and three deep.

William Faulkner’s novella “The Bear” from his collection of works‚ Go Down Moses‚ is a symbolic exploration of the relationship between man and nature in the eyes of a young boy. The heart of the issue‚ the warped idea of the ownership of land‚ is revealed thought the clash of man and nature in a wild chase that ends only in blood and death. The prey is nature itself‚ represented by a bear‚ while the hunters are men‚ full of greed and destructive possessiveness‚ pursuing that which they do not

In order for a poem to be classified as a sonnet‚ it must meet certain structural requirements‚ and Sonnet 138‚ “When my love swears that she is made of truth‚” is a perfect example. Shakespeare employs the traditional rhyme scheme of the English sonnet‚ the poem is made up of three quatrains and a rhyming couplet‚ and iambic pentameter is the predominant meter. However‚ it would be an error to approach this poem as a traditional Shakespearean love sonnet. It is a ‘love’ poem

In this essay I shall be discussing the 1805 version‚ with one or two references to differences in the 1850 version. Book Vl‚ entitled‚ ’Cambridge

Due to our nature‚ the human race will do astonishing things in the name of love and fear. Abigail Williams in “The Crucible” is a fantastic example of this. Not only are her actions absurd to try and gain John Proctor’s whole hearted affection‚ who was her lover‚ but also to gain submission of an ample portion of Salem due to fear. A large part of the submissiveness was gained by her ability to manipulate others‚ especially those she knows well. She starts the fire of hatred‚ for witches and the
