    The first character that Busch uses as a symbol is the narrator's dog. The dog appears to symbolize the narrator's current destructive lifestyle. After the dog has been vomiting, the narrator thinks, "He loves what makes him sick" (Busch 865). Like the dog, the narrator shows an apparent lack of concern for the condition of his own health. He seems to be in a constant state of fatigue, most likely due to the fact that he barely sleeps. Several times throughout the story he consumes large amounts of alcohol. For example, the narrator has "a king-sized drink composed of sourmash whiskey and ice" (Busch 867) with his dinner. Later in the story, one of the first things he does after he gets home from school is make himself "a dark drink of sourmash" (Busch 870).

  • Andrew Stewart and the Meaning Behind the Two Pieces, Doryphoros (Spearbearer) and Aphrodite of Knidos

    1230 Words  | 3 Pages

    The author, Andrew Stewart, begins with the male figure of Doryphoros. He focuses on the intent of the statue, establishing the knowledge that it was to set a new standard of the perfect male body to guide the future. The proportions of the body of Doryphoros were made according to a specific formula, with meticulous attention to detail. Each muscle and limb was specifically placed next to relaxed ones, creating visual hierarchy of the forms to be more appealing to the eye and mind. The figure is a copy and not originally named, but is most likely said to be of a warrior or athlete, possibly Achilles or Penthesilenia. This statue was to show a culture of people who were expected to take up arms and set a new standard for masculinity. Naked “spearbearers” were uncommon and most often reserved for athletes. The gaze of the sculpture is off in the distance, looking at the competitor, with a solid stance between macho arrogance and meek youth. The unhurried movement, self-contained pose foursquar...

The grasping of masculine identity is the only thing that gives Jake purpose.

  • Faces By Cassavetes Essay

Alcohol takes control of the storyline and characters follow their drunk instinct. Cassavetes, with his Faces, illustrates a sad and lonely human who struggles with his daily life and shows himself as a lucky and happy person. Everyone in the movie dances, smiles, and laughs; however, nobody is lucky or happy. Going forward in the movie plot, Cassavetes unhides the fake happiness for the viewer through the insane and psychedelic actions. In addition, betrayal is an inseparable part of the movie.

  • Edgar Allan Poe: Gothic Writer Of The Romantic Literary Era

    1253 Words  | 3 Pages

    Alcohol played a major role in Poe’s life, mainly as a coping mechanism, which brought on an abundance of trouble for Poe. As a baby, Poe was exposed to “gin and other spirituous liquors”, described by Susan Archer Weiss, author of “The Sister of Edgar A. Poe”. Alcohol had always been a factor in Poe’s life, beginning at infancy, continuing throughout his childhood with dinner guests, and again at the age of seventeen. While attending the University of Virginia, Poe tried keeping up with wealthier classmates, indulging in their unhealthy fixations of drinking and gambling. Charles Baudelaire, a drinking comrade of Poe, revealed that “[Poe] did not drink like an ordinary toper, but like a savage, with an altogether American energy and fear of wasting a minute, as though he were accomplishing an act of murder, as though there was something inside him that he had to kill” (Meyers 25). In accordance to Poe’s debts worsening, he increased his consumption of alcohol, trying to get drunk as quickly as possible to forget about any of his problems. Furthermore, while living with Mrs. Clemm and Virginia, Poe came home intoxicated and almost jeopardized his marriage to Virginia. In the midst of living with his relatives, Poe had a somewhat difficult time finding work and to some employers, he had “the typical denial of a heavy drinker” (Silverman 132).
