In my creative writing project for English 9, I chose to make a series of six letters between two characters from the books Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare and Son of the Mob by Korman Gordon. The two characters I chose were Romeo Montague from Romeo and Juliet, and Vince Luca from Son of the Mob. In the letters, I have the two boys talk about their lives. As Romeo is dead already, I have the two boys focus mainly on Vince’s life. Romeo offers countless pieces of advice on how to help Vince deal with the problems of dating the daughter of his father’s worst enemy. Throughout the conversation, the two boys become close each other, brought together by the problems that they both share experience in.
Monsters and Men (Unit Paper). For ages, we have wondered what is the difference between monsters and men that make them who they are. What are the characteristics that define a monster? Typically it’s the bad guy, the person or thing that comes into the story just to cause a massacre or stand in the protagonist’s way.
Bacon's rebellion was also known as a civil war. Nathaniel Bacon led the rebellion against Governor Berkeley due the corruption within the tobacco farmer wealthiest. Bacon rebelled because he felt the government mainly Berkeley was showing favoritism to the Indians by not letting poorer farms us the Indians lands and not caring enough about their own colonists. The reason being Bacon felt the Indians where a problem to the economy when in reality they were not the cause of the economy decline. This shows how prejudice Bacon is toward the Indians and their contribution to the trading policy. Bacon and Berkeley where both very selfish men in history's view point they both saw the running of the government in different lights. Bacon was against
“Eaters of the Dead” by Michael Crichton is a fiction but with historical background. Through this piece Crichton hopes to express the way of life for the Vikings in the year 922 AD while at the same time creating an entertaining story. Using a manuscript written by Ibn-Fadlan Crichton pieced together a book filled with adventure and excitement. Michael Crichton was born in Chicago, 1942 and always knew he had a talent for writing. He attended Brown University and has since published many books such as “Jurassic Park”, “The Rising Sun”, “Disclosure”, and many more. Several of his books have been made into movies, for example, “Jurassic Park”, “The Lost World”, “Sphere”,
Would you be able to resist savagery from being away from society? Could you resist the urging power to kill? How about being able to find food without killing or not to go full savage on other people, could you still do it? A normal person could say no to all of these. In the novel, “Lord of The Flies”, William Golding shows that without civilization, a person can turn into a savage by showing progressively how they went through the seven steps of savagery.
In “Killing Monsters”, Gerard Jones describes his personal experiences and his work with children to support his claim of violence in media being beneficial to children. He tells of his childhood and how during it, comic characters and violent fantasies helped him deal with his frustrations and problems. He also describes his interactions with different children and how they used violence to empower them and give them strength. Jones uses all this evidence to assert that violence in media helps children in many ways and shouldn’t be criticized the way it is. While I agree with Jones’ claim that violence in the media can be good for children, I think that his evidence is too personal and weak to strongly support an argument.
In his novel, Eaters of the Dead, author Michael Crichton shows how the Volga Northmen were able to defeat their foes, the wendol, by using their intellect instead of their weapons. This is seen in four aspects. The theme of the novel is that physical courage is not enough to preserve your culture and lifestyle: intelligence and superior knowledge are absolutely essential. Conflict between the wendol and the Northmen shows which group has the intelligence to eliminate the other. Symbolism of wisdom, knowledge, and the lack of such things are used by Crichton to illustrate this moral. The juxtaposition of characters emphasizes the cleverness of the Volga Northmen compared to the Venden Northmen.
Bacon’s Rebellion was a revolt by poor farmers against both the aristocracy of the Jamestown settlement and the frontier Native Americans. The rebellion can be described as both anti-aristocratic and anti-Native American. Severe social and racial tensions and conflicts led to the outbreak of rebellion.
Think of a North America without electricity, no running water, no government, almost no buildings left intact, and ravaged by a Chinese manufactured plague, even though it’s hard to imagine that's what happened in Jeff Hirsch’s The Eleventh Plague. In Jeff Hirsch’s Eleventh Plague a family made up of the Dad, Mom, Grandfather, and son are trying to survive in a North America ravaged by a Chinese Plague , But then the mom and grandpa die and dad and Stephen are left on their own, but when the dad gets injured running away from some slavers, A Town named Settlers Landing that seems too good to be true takes them in. Then Stephen befriends a girl named Jenny, and when they play a prank that sends Jenny, and when they play a prank that sends the town into chaos. A war is started and it is up to them to help stop it. I thought that The Eleventh Plague was a believable piece of Speculative Fiction because of Hirsch's use of elements of Conflict, Theme, and Red Herrings.
Cannibalism has many hidden features behind it as it may be intended for the horror crowd in many occasions, but also aimed for achieving social change as it was displayed throughout the entire semester with the films we watched and many of the readings. Social change can be added to such a genre because it has a large crowd of interest and adaption to change is greatly followed by the readers and having a large following behind a concept of cannibalism allows the social change theories to get to a large audience thus being able to influence many people at one reading or viewing. The Night of The Living Dead has a contradictory ending because the character that was behind the whole social change was killed by the people that were supposed to
Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888-1965) was an American born poet who wrote many pieces of literature. He was a very well educated writer who studied philosophy, English and Hinduism at both Harvard and then Oxford University. He was also a magnificently beautiful writer. Eliot during his youth, and after he graduated, had read a substantial amount of literature due to a disability which had impaired his movements. It is believed that he was the mostly widely-read person of the 20th Century. His most favourite genre that he indulged in was poetry and many of the works paved way for modern poetry/literature. He received a Nobel Prize for Literature in 1948. His first work, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (1917), is considered, in my opinion, the predecessor to his most influential work, The Waste Land (1922). The Hollow Men (1925) is considered to be a follow up to the Wasteland. All three writings share similar themes and interconnect with each other in some retrospect. The topic that I investigated is the portrayal of the decline of Western Culture and Spiritualism through T.S. Eliot’s selected poems:
The meager image depicted by Lu Xun's 'Diary of a Madman' projects an illustration of society that stresses submission to authority, and the ultimate compliance to tradition. Lu Xun battles the idea that society is constantly being manipulated and controlled by the masses of people who know no better than to follow tradition. His story 'Diary of a Madman' gives the representation of a culture that has not only failed, but failed by the cannibalistic nature of humans corrupting them-selves over and over again therefore feeding upon themselves. The analysis of 'Diary of a Madman' gives way to a new interpretation of societies of the past, present, and future. Following the idea that history tends to repeat itself, I have paralleled the idea that society as a whole can be seen as cannibalistic not only in the reference by Lu Xun, but also in the current society we live in today. Only through willingness to change can societies transform their behaviors and actions giving way to improvement.
Lion’s are very amazing creatures, as well as interesting. They have very unique life styles, habits, and ways of life.
