Eve,” (820) and another example “you must run as if the Devil is after you.”(820) Yet another phrase that relates to the Devil states, “They say there’s an ointment the Devil gives you that turns you into a wolf the minute that you rub it on.”(820) Note that the passages all came from the same page, a clever tactic used by Carter to keep a strong theme in certain parts of the story.

Granted Christmas is wintertime and the author could be referring to .....

On his way home from getting cut, he gets stuck in the door. All of these occurrences and descriptions suggest what Kafka thought of. They suggest a slo .....

And then hopped sidewise to the Wall
To let a Beetle pass–
When the bird finally flies away the poem's flow mimics that of a flying bird, very calm and free "And he unrolled his feathers / And rowed him softer home–". She describes a birds flight like rowing in an ocean, but without all the splashing of the oars.
In the first two stanza of the poem she rhymes the second and fourth lines of the quatrain.
A Bird came down the Walk–
He did not know I saw–
He bit an Angleworm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw,
She us .....

Sir Gawain And The Green Night
Number of words: 1014 | Number of pages: 4.... In the last lines of the story the author clearly acknowledges Beowulf’s overall triumph, “Telling stories of their dead king and his greatness, his glory, praising him for heroic deeds, for a life as noble as his name.”
Sir Gawain on the other hand is deemed a hero but seems to lack something that Beowulf simply does not. This is because he is a passive hero. Sir Gawain appears to be incapable and thoughtless at first, but he slowly proves himself by his subtle actions. Sir Gawain represents loyalty along with an unclear purpose. He must put his life before the king’s and fulfill duties that are not .....

Antigone, War Of Beliefs
Number of words: 910 | Number of pages: 4.... the Gods was very important to her. She felt that "…I will bury him; and if I must die, I say that this crime is holy: I shall lie down with him in death, and I shall be as dear to him as he to me." (Page 341). Creon's order was personal to Antigone. His edict invaded her family life as well as the Gods.

She believed that the burial was a religious ceremony, and Creon did not have the power to deny Polynices that right. Antigone's strong belief towards the burial of her brother is what, in many cases, led her to .....

Satire Or Tragedy - Macbeth
Number of words: 2067 | Number of pages: 8.... character, diction, thought, spectacle, and song. Most important is
the plot, the structure of the incidents. Tragedy is not an imitation
of men, but of action and life. It is by men's actions that they
acquire happiness or sadness. Aristotle stated, in response to Plato,
that tragedy produces a healthful effect on the human character
through a katharsis, a "proper purgation" of "pity and terror." A
successful tragedy, then, exploits and appeals at the start to two
basic emotions: fear and pity. Tragedy deals with the element of evil,
with what we least want and most fear to face, and with what is
destructive .....
