.... body was never recovered, but a flower, which was named after him was. The left side of this painting shows the kneeling Narcissus, outlined by the craggy rocks of what could only be Cape Creus's. On the right side of the painting, the scene has morphed into a more idyllic and classical scene, in which the kneeling Narcissus has become the statue of a hand, holding a cracked egg, from which emerges The Narcissus flower. This painting reminded me of the first chapter of Metamorphosis, where the main character, Gregor Samsa, first realizes that he is confro .....

.... novel dealing with the former Soviet Union as a potential enemy. This was a time when America’s finest tank and infantry units went on exercises in Germany fully armed with the expectation that the Russians could attack them at any time. This was also a time when the Soviets did the same exercises with the same amount of live ammunition. Therefore there was reason enough to worry about potential conflicts. Deep within the ocean waters, submarines played similar cat and mouse games with other submarines and surface ships. However some of these submarines were mo .....

.... “The Black Cat.” Next, symbolism is always an integral part of any Poe story. The most obvious of symbolic references in this story is the cat’s name, Pluto. This is the Roman god of the underworld. Pluto contributes to a strong sense of hell and may even symbolize the devil himself. Another immensely symbolic part of “The Black Cat” is the title itself, since onyx cats have long connoted bad luck and misfortune. The most amazing thing about the symbolism in this story or in any other of Poe’s is that there are probably many s .....

.... be applied to any story whether a screenplay, theatric play, novel or short story. The play is much more predictable in the sense that a great many things are bound not to happen on stage. In fact nothing taking place outside Frank's office can be seen by the audience. All action is inevitably confined within these four walls. When Frank invites Rita to his home for dinner in the play the audience are not set up for suspension as to how it will turn out since they already know that whatever happens will not take place before them, but will be retold. Th .....

.... a sense of success, only a lack of motivation to go on. To earn the hart of Daisy thus becomes his only goal and dedication in life. This symbolizes how Gatsby being frustrated and disillusioned by failing to be satisfied in his long sought position, tries to escape the American dream in favor of the soft values in life. Daisy becomes his obsession in life and the disappointment when he realizes her lack of affection for him is fatal. By introducing Nick as a narrator, who is also partially supporting Gatsby's principles regarding the pursuit of happiness, .....

.... but some of them didn't. Sometimes it ended up that the football coach/algebra teacher cared a little more about tomorrow's football game than he did about ensuring his algebra students knew how to balance equations, and sometimes the P.E./Science teacher cared a little more about the teaching the tennis unit than she did about teaching the four life processes. Those teachers were also the ones that had to relearn the algebra and science lessons a few days before they taught them to us, because on paper they were qualified to do the job, but as .....

.... to present the idea that it is our society and government, not people, that are mixed up. The plot is not merely a boy meets girl story, but helps to pull the characters through the story. For Orwell’s purposes, the plot need not be too complex, for it might detract from his message. By keeping the time frame of 1984 to a short period and involving relatively few main characters, Orwell focuses on the important issues of totalitarianism and total government control through brainwashing. In connection with the plot of this novel, Orwell’s setting is of supreme i .....

.... from the storybook monsters. Almost all real life monsters are created from some problem from their home life. In some cases it can be caused by some problem with how they were treated as a child or it can even be caused by a fight with friends or family that causes them to leash out on the people around them. Basically, a real life monster is someone who, for any unjustified reason, goes and commits a serious wrong against any number of people. These are the people that pose a serious threat to society. Although both are very different from each other .....
