days and nights in the desert," are capable of attaining the reward of Heaven, while the weak millions, "who are weak but still love Thee... must exist for the sake of the strong." The Inquisitor states that the reason the weak cannot take the narrow road to Heaven is that they are afraid of freedom, that "they can never be free." Trent Reznor of the musical group Nine Inch Nails summarized the Inquisitor's view of humanity in "Happiness In Slavery." In the second verse, Reznor sings, "Slave screams
There it lay. A dead doe in middle of the road. The previous driver obviously had not thought twice after hitting the deer and had no sincerity towards nature nor the decency to at least move the carcass off the narrow road. The deer lay in the road, unburied, uncared for, unmourned, and untended. Ironically, if the carcass had remained on the road, it might have meant the taking of the life of another driver as Stafford stated in line 4: "that road is narrow; to swerve might make more dead". The
The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan focuses on the life of Dorrigo Evans, an Australian prisoner of war in a Japanese internment camp during World War II. Like many other novels published after World War II, it firmly censures war. Flanagan does not spare the reader any description of the terrible circumstances of war. Unlike several other anti-war novels, however, he depicts the maladies of being a prisoner of war along with the circumstances of combat and post-war impacts. Flanagan
Flanagan, through the book the Narrow Road to the Deep North, creates a representation of Prisoner of War experiences in World War II. Through clever manipulation of characters, textual and linguistic features, he has effectively portrayed war experiences as something more complex than violence; but one full of belonging, isolation and love. Using characterisation and aesthetic features, Flanagan has created a successful representation of the theme isolation in the book by portraying isolation in
The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan is a fictional novel that is closely based on recorded history. It is a depiction of the brutality that Australian soldiers endured in a Japanese prisoner of war camp in Siam, Thailand during World War II. At this time Japan was in dire need to find a more efficient route to use to resupply its army fighting in Thailand. Using water routes in the Pacific Ocean was too risky, putting supplies in danger of being destroyed by the enemy. The emperor
Richard Flanagan’s The Narrow Road to the Deep North explores the depths of human emotion and how far some people will go during times of war. The novel shows that there are many sides to the one story and also how people change with life experiences. Major Tenji Nakamura is a perfect example of this as he is a ruthless officer in charge of the POW camp. But he shows that he is only doing any of this for the honour it will bring him and his empire. On the other side of the coin, there is Dorrigo

The Narrow Road of the Interior written by Matsuo Basho “Until the seventeenth century, Japanese Literature was privileged property. …The diffusion of literacy …(and) the printed word… created for the first time in Japan the conditions necessary for that peculiarly modern phenomenon, celebrity” (Robert Lyons Danly, editor of The Narrow Road of the Interior written by Matsuo Basho; found in the Norton Anthology of World Literature, Second Edition, Volume D). Celebrity is a loose term at times;
I can’t walk without my heel springing out.” Mom says, “It says they are a ten and a half.” “Well they sure don’t feel like it.” “Ok, try these.” She hands me a painfully narrow pair of black and white Pumas. I look at them, then at my mother, then back at the pair of shoes. I can almost feel the agonizing squeeze of the narrow, leather/cloth-laden shoes just by looking at them. I suck in a breath and begin the shoe donning process. I couldn’t get them on. No matter which way I tugged or pulled,
Stakeholder identification and Salience Theory article most of all. Too often our definition of stakeholder is either too broad or narrow to fit in our analysis for change. The broad definition of stake or stakeholders limits an analysts scope to the individual or group who can and are affected by the achievement of an organization (Mitchell, Agle, Wood, 1997). However, on the narrow side of the definition, a stakeholder analyst can “pigeon hole” their scope to those who are voluntary, those who have invested

Through the influence of first-hand experiences, both Flanagan and Teplitzky describe or visually represent the stories told to them of the POW camps.

A Narrow Road to the Deep North by Matsuo Bashou, is a well-known travel piece by an incredible poet, but because of its use of poetry feels less like a travel piece and more like a snapshot of the human experience through a journey. This journey is a search for spiritual enlightenment, although, along the way, Bashou captures human emotion through his poetry, as he experiences loneliness, wanderlust, worries of failure, insignificance among nature’s grandeur and spiritual rebirth. Beyond the physical
In both the novel - The Narrow Road to the Deep North, and the film - The Railway Man, the compositional feature of intertextuality is used in the scenes regarding the beating of Darky Gardiner, and the beating of Eric Lomax. During the description of Darky Gardiner’s beating, Flanagan writes, “Blow after blow – on the monster’s face, a monster’s mask” (297). This quote is derived from one of Basho’s poems, The Monkey’s Mask; “Year after year – on the monkey’s face, a monkey’s mask” (Ueda, 351).
Language, Imagery, and Diction in Emily Dickinson's Because I could not stop for Death, A narrow Fellow in the Grass, and I felt a Funeral in my Brain All good poets use the basic literary techniques of figurative language, imagery, and diction in their poems. However, only great poets use these techniques to transmit an experience to the reader; Emily Dickinson was one these poets. She used these techniques to bring the reader a new perception of life, and to widen and sharpen the readers’
oars divide the ocean....." Dickinson's attitude to passing moments is quite complex, as she does not interpret them simply as a "passing moment" but an extraordinary descriptive event. Another example of a passing moment would be in "A narrow fellow in the grass" In this poem Dickinson's keen observation of passing moments is clearly observed. She notices every movement of the snake even though his movements are very sudden and fast. Initially the snake is characterized as transient

trees that were dead with no leaves, rundown houses, broken fences, dirt roads, and rotted wooden signs. The main road was paved and as I drove through the town I saw signs everywhere out front of houses that read “Spiritual Readings, Psychic Readings.” This didn’t really bother me, because I kept thinking of funny old people like Miss Cleo from paid programming on T.V. I decided to drive down some of the narrow dirt roads.
A choice made in “The Road Not Taken,” written by Frost, precludes a life changed for eternity. In Robert Frost’s poem, “The Road Not Taken,” the author speaks of a choice that must be made. Nothing else in this poem exists beyond the choice. All is focused on the search for the right decision, and culminates in a reflection of the impact of said decision. In truth, this choice is reflected on as a decision for the whole of humanity. The symbolism of the two roads going in different directions:
