.... Laertes' son, Who dwells in Ithica.' " In other words "Ha ha, it was me, Odysseus the mortal, that blinded you." This sounds not only like a human or mortal, but a mortal little kid. The next time I noticed Odysseus acting like a human or mortal, was in the story of "Scylla and Charybdis" when Scylla ate some of his men. Odysseus at that time, lost what he thought, were his best men, he said that it was one of the saddest things he's seen: "As he, if then he takes a fish,/ Flings it aloft out of the sea/ All quivering, even so she swung them/ All quivering up to her high crag./ There she devoured them, one and all,/ Before her doorway, while they shrieked/ .....

.... was spent sequestered, training to be a knight in order to escape from his ugliness and give him something to be proud of. Lancelot wanted to be a knight because he felt that he was a depraved, lubricious soul. His hideously twisted visage was a sure sign to him that deep in his inner self he was an evil person. Night and day he brooded over his ugliness, his malfeasance. “The boy thought that there was something wrong with him. All through his life - even when he was a great man with the world at his feet - he was to feel this gap: something at the bottom of his heart of which he was aware, and ashamed, but which he did not understand.”(p.315) As a r .....

.... which “the prince had provided all the appliances of pleasure.” This creates a joyous and blissful mood, and shows that the masque, for the most part, was a rather jubilant occasion. However, Poe also illustrates how a gigantic ebony clock, located in the westernmost apartment of the abbey, causes “the giddiest to grow pale” with the sound of a loud, deep, and rather peculiar note when the clock strikes each hour. The “uneasy cessation of all things” resulting from the sound of the clock creates an unpleasant and apprehensive mood, directly opposite from the joyful mood described earlier. These descriptive settings of the clock and the rest of the masque .....

.... this engraved on the tomb, because this was the "word she heard the preacher say at the funeral (all there was to say, surely)...Dearly Beloved" (5). The baby is first christened at death, with a name by which the preacher refers to the spectators at the burial. Sethe thus named the child after herself, insofar as she, Sethe, was whom the preacher was addressing as "dearly beloved." In this way she brands her detached conscience with guilt. I call it her "detached conscience" because in order to go on with life Sethe needed to remove herself from her guilt. She removes herself so completely that her neighbors, already upset at her crime, isolated her beca .....

.... and thematic reworking of both epics of Homer.”2 The Aeneid is clearly modeled in the beginning after the Odyssey while in the end it is modeled after the Iliad. The happenings and actions of Aeneas are very similar to both those of Odysseus and later of Achilles. Many of the characters themselves are also modeled after Homer’s characters. There are also many little details here and there which show that Virgil certainly modeled his epic after Homer, not to plagiarize, but for the style and the use of a model for human insight and feeling. When reading the Aeneid, one can clearly see and hear the Homeric echoes present in the epic. The .....

.... stripped off in the fall; their beauty gone. Dirt covers the wet snow that lays uneven over the yard, or piled on the side of the driveway. Yet, there are the days of magic, when fresh, fluffy snow bursts through the clouds and surrounds everything. The flakes lightly touch your face, attaching to your lashes and tickling your nose. The snow covers the dirt, and piles upon the ground. The bare driveway made of dirt and rocks is covered with a blanket of cold, smooth white. These fluffy flakes grasp onto the branches of the bare trees, giving them back their beauty. This surrounding snow brings silence, enchantment and wonder with it. One stands outside .....

.... sexually. Instead of taking things slowly and getting to know each other or on the other hand engage in a type of relationship just to satisfy each others desires they act like they have known each other for a long time and that they can’t live one without the other. At the start of the play we see that Romeo is in love with Roseline and that he only talks about her but when he meets Juliet at the party he totally forgets Roseline and falls in love with Juliet. Friar Laurence clearly states this to Romeo: “Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear, so soon forsaken? Young men’s love then lies not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes̶ .....

.... It also showed how important the code of Chivalry was in their times when Robert De Bruce betrayed him you could tell that he was devastated. I think that we also learned that if you truly believed in something you wouldn't change what you think no matter what they would do. I think that Wallace's beliefs were worth fighting and dying for because why should you have to be oppressed be a king that would take your things and rule you cruelly. Without their own king Scotland would just be a meaningless province that is guarded by soldiers at all times. Why should you live in constant fear when you can have freedom and live in relative peace and you don't ha .....
