.... make fools of themselves, as mentioned by Baker in this quote, "...and any one could could have spoken out as one human might speak to another....not one had said that." (156) Yet another piece really spoke to me about the ways people communicate on a daily basis. "I led the Pigeons to the Flag" was very exact to the feelings I have of miscommunications and mishearings. I can remember times in which I have done the very same things that were mentioned in this essay, like singing a tune over and over out loud, then looking over the lyrics later. Only to my knowledge, my version of "Cannonball" was actually "Panama." The way we hear and say things is .....

.... about. He eventually gets rid of it by mixing it up in a pile of many other books in his basement. As will be discussed in this paper, Borges wrote philosophy in a lot of his works. In The Book of Sand, infinity is depicted in the form of a mysterious book. It symbolizes man's constant search for the world's existence. Borges is saying that it is an endless search and therefore pointless. The Other is the story of Borges sitting on a bench, as he feels as though he had lived that moment already. He begins to speak to the man seated besides him, and finds out the stranger has the same name, and the same address as he does. When Borges asks the man what year i .....

.... overthrow the Party and gain their independence by creating a stand against the Party, demanding their rights from Big Brother, and fighting for their right of freedom. The people of London could very easily create a plan to make the Party less powerful. The occupants of London could stop following the rules of the Party, and start living as regular human beings. The citizens could stop fearing the Thought Police, and make a stand to demolish the whole empire known as Big Brother. The men and women have one way that could almost assure themselves of overthrowing the Party; create a revolt against Big Brother itself. The people could all get together, go .....

.... with the basic essence of human freedom. In "", Ellison creates a provocative statement about the Black situation in the south in the 1940’s that is rich with symbolism and personal experience. Born on March 1, 1914, in Oklahoma, Ellison was raised in an environment that promoted self-fulfillment. His father, who named his son after Ralph Waldo Emerson and hoped to raise him as a poet, died when Ellison was three. Ellison’s mother enlisted blacks into the Socialist Party and was also a domestic worker. In the early 1930s, Ellison won a scholarship to Alabama’s Tuskegee Institute, where he studied music until 1936(Busby 10). Later, to earn money for hi .....

.... no other words for "pain." By suggesting no other words for "pain," she chooses the most semantically encompassing term for the emotion. She thus gives her work the responsibility of examining the collective, general breadth of "pain." Her alternatives offer connotations that color her usage of "Pain": the sense of loss in "grief" and "mourning" or the sense of pity in "anguish" and "suffering." She chooses the lexical vagueness of "Pain" to embrace all these facets of the emotion. In introducing the "Element of Blank," it becomes the context that she thus examines pain. The exact context of "Blank" possesses a vagueness that suggests its own inadequacy of soli .....

.... These characteristics include a dignified style of writing, deeds performed by the hero that require extraordinary strength and courage, and the interference of supernatural forces. The author fulfills these characteristics and therefore permits the poem to be classified as a folk epic. The style of writing used by the author is distinguished among other poets in Old English literature. One literary element that is implemented by the poet is the prominent use of alliterative contrast. For instance when Heorot is first attacked by Grendel, the poet describes a band of nobles “asleep after the feast” and feeling “no sorrow” (28). Another aspect of the author .....

.... “The Fall of the House of Usher”, “The Raven”, and “The Masque of Red Death” all contain those qualities that make them dreamlike or nightmarish. “The Fall of the House of Usher” contains many of the elements that make it a true horror story. One example of the foreshadowing of an unexpected event is the crack that runs down the side of the giant house. This fissure is a form of foreshadowing and also is a way to show how Roderick Usher’s mind is cracking and how he is slowly going mad. As the story ends, the “fissure rapidly widened”(172) and the house crumbles to the ground. Also, the setting and setting add to the terror of the story. The House .....

.... immune from disappointments. addresses the romantic problems of these two sisters with contrary worldviews. The elder sister, Elinor, the embodiment of "sense," loves a man engaged to an ignorant, manipulative woman; the younger, Marianne, who embodies "sensibility," is infatuated with a man who suddenly without explanation ends their relationship. Very much a Romantic, sixteen-year-old Marianne is governed by her feelings, not by reason, unlike Elinor. Passionate in her opinions and certain of their morality, Marianne lacks prudence and relies on instinct, typical values of the Romantic Movement. Elinor’s sense, on the other hand, reflects “t .....
