The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung U
Number of words: 500 - Number of pages: 2.... obnoxious to each carping tongue / Who says my hand a needle better fits, / [than] A poet's pen.…" Bradstreet's instincts were to love this world more than the promised next world of Puritan theology, and her struggle to overcome her love for the world of nature energizes her poetry.
Taylor, a poet of great technical skill, wrote powerful meditative poems in which he tested himself morally and sought to identify and root out sinful tendencies. In "God's Determinations Touching His Elect" (written 1680?), one of Taylor's most important works, he celebrates God's power in the triumph of g .....

In Citizen Kane’s final shot, a reversal of the film's opening images, a dissolve shows the exterior of the Kane's palatial mansion at dusk, panning up with the black smoke of his burning possessions pouring from the chimney of his palace and filling the sky. The smoke of Kane's youth, his sled, disappears into the night sky. The camera pans down the chain-link fence where the sign "No Trespassing" is visible again as it was at the film's start. The film fades out on the "K .....

Reservoir Dogs
Number of words: 1053 - Number of pages: 4.... table, not afraid to fill half the screen with the blurred back of someone's head. It creates a sense of awe about these gangsters, which is solidified in the opening credits sequence that took more than a little inspiration from Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch."
As they exit the restaurant and walk menacingly toward the camera, we are introduced to each of the characters: Mr. White (Harvey Keitel), Mr. Blond (Michael Madsen), Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi), Mr. Orange (Tim Roth), Mr. Brown (Quentin Tarantino), Mr. Blue (Eddie Bunker), the crime boss, Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney) and his son, Nice Guy .....

A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man Religion As Repressi
Number of words: 1043 - Number of pages: 4.... reared in a strict Catholic family. The demand for compliance placed on Stephen shapes his life early at Clongowes, a preparatory school run by the Jesuit order. Even as he is adhering to the principles of his Catholic school upbringing, he becomes increasingly disillusioned. Even though Joyce spoke warmly of his own experiences at Clongowes he portrays a different, almost opposite experience for Stephen (Kershner 4). Formerly above reproach or distrust, the priests become symbols of narrow-mindedness and repression in Stephen's mind. Father Dolan, in particular, whose abusive and h .....

The Adventures Of Huckleberry
Number of words: 1095 - Number of pages: 4.... prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.”
There were many groups that Clemens contrasted in Finn. The interaction of these different social groups is what makes up the main plot of the novel. For the objective of discussion they have been broken down into five main sets of antithetic parties: people with high levels of melanin and people with low levels of melanin, rednecks and scholarly, children and adults, men and women, and finally, the Sheperdson’s and the Grangerford’s.
Whites and African Ameri .....

To Tame A Shrew
Number of words: 2009 - Number of pages: 8.... watch the night in storms, the day in cold,
Whilst thou liest warm at home, secure and safe;
And craves no other tribute at thy hands
But love, fair looks and true obedience;
Too little payment for so great a debt. (5.2.146-154)
In looking at this outtake of Katharina's speech, it can be seen that she has been tamed by Petruchio's actions throughout the first four acts. It is difficult to take Katharina's message here and say, "She is still the same person." Her monologue reveals that she now sees it is her duty to respect her husband and to be submissive to him. Her speech leads the au .....

Number of words: 1338 - Number of pages: 5.... plan, cuts off Ouranos's genitals and throws them into the sea. The blood landing on Gaia forms the three Erinyes or furies, the giants, and the Melian nymphs. Then "foam" (Theog. 191) rising from the sea out of the genitals, forms Aphrodite, goddess of love. After these events, Ouranos called his children the Titans. Hesiod explains this as being derived from titainontes, or straining, and tisis, the vengeance "destined to follow" (Theog. 210).
Gaia also had children with her other son, Pontos. Their names are Nereus, Thaumas, Phorkys, Keto, and Eurybia.

The Adventures Of Huckleberry
Number of words: 2290 - Number of pages: 9.... is considered by many as the “Great American Epic”.
Finn, “The great American epic,” may be one of the most interesting and complex books ever written in the history of our nation. This book cleverly disguises many of the American ideals in a child floating down the Mississippi River on a raft with a black slave. On the outside of the story, one can see an exciting tale of heroism and adventure; however, that is not all. The book shows Mark Twain’s idea of the classic American idealism, consisting of freedom, morality, practicality, and an alliance with nature. Twain manages to .....
