damp as tendrils" to create this positive sense of who Jane is (line 1). In order for one to understand the comparison, we must know that a tendril is a branch of a growing plant. This simile allows to see that just as a plant, the teacher has seen Jane blossom and grow into the strong women she was before dying. The poem goes on to elaborate on the complexity of the tendrils stating how Jane no longer is, "waiting like a fern" out in the field. These two similes tie in well as tendrils are the beginning
the water from the pond water. I cupped some water in my hands and splashed it into my face. I looked at Enna and Grayson to see them staring behind me. I looked behind me to see a hunter looming behind me. It raised its arm as tendrils came from its forearm. The tendrils contorted and morphed its raised arm into a spike. As it was about to drive the spike into me, I dove into the pond and quickly swam to the side where Enna and Grayson were standing. I then got out of the pond and ran with them

The Incredibles’ Chapter… Luminous lights glinted in the eery darkness of Syndrome’s evil lair. Machines turned. Red warning lights flashed. Lurking in the unknown, the devil stood, red hair blowing in the wind like a roaring flame. He strode out of the shadows, with a menacing smirk right across his face and glared intensely at Mr. Incredible. Long blue snakes grasped Mr. Incredible as he hung from a mysterious machine, their sharp teeth piercing him every time he tried to move. A once strong,

they were full of savagery they did have compassion and love for one another. Q.O.P “Then dog-like, uncomfortably on all fours yet unheeding his discomfort, he stole forward five yards and stopped. There was a loop of creeper with a tendril pendant from a node. The tendril was polished on the underside; pig, passing through the loop, brushed it with their bristly hide.” “What are we? Humans? Or animals? Or savages?” “We've got to have rules and obey them. After all, we're not savages. We're English
Lord of the Flies - Savagery “There are too many people, and too few human beings.” (Robert Zend) Even though there are many people on this planet, there are very few civilized people. Most of them are naturally savaged. In the book, Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, boys are stranded on an island far away, with no connections to the adult world. These children, having no rules, or civilization, have their true nature exposed. Not surprisingly, these children’s nature happens to be savagery

Poetry, like any other piece of literature, is written to express certain emotion,feeling or idea as desired by the author. Without a defined format, poems come in all sorts of variations, each with it’s own sound,smell, and taste. The most successful poems masterfully give readers the Ah Ha! experience and invoke in them incomprehensible emotions that render them vulnerable to the poets message. William Shakespeare’ s Sonnet 18 and Sylvia Plath’s Metaphors adequately contain imagery,lineation,and
the pounding behind my eyes subsided and I sat up in my bed. After a few moments, I opened my eyes only to be struck with fear.He stood in the corner of my room. Black tentacle-like tendrils began protruding from His back. Black fuzz along with the sound of hushed, raspy child-like voices began growing around the tendrils. His knee length arms reached out towards me, His fingers beckoned me to Him. His face began to split where His mouth should be and he spoke with the black mouth that had been recently
Art Nouveau was an artist movement that started in Europe and peaked in popularity between the years of 1890 and 1910. It had a great influence on graphic design, but was also practiced in the fields of art, architecture and applied art. Art Nouveau is a French term meaning “new art” and is characterized from the highly stylized forms as well as organic and plant motifs. “The organic forms often took the shape of sudden violent curves which were often referenced by the term whiplash” (Eskilson, 56)
1. The boys on the island start developing tensions. One group of boys was assigned to build huts and the other was supposed to keep the signal fire alive. During the time that the boys were building shelter, they began fighting amongst themselves about the conspiracy of the so-called ‘beastie’ and whether monsters are real or not. Meanwhile, while Jack is supposed to be watching the signal fire, he decides to lead his group to hunt a pig. Although Ralph strongly disagreed with this idea, Jack still
The Lord of the Flies book was written by William Golding and published in the 1954. The world would’ve gone through two world wars already, as it was written after the two wars. The death and violence was fresh in everyone’s minds still, which would explain why there were so many references to the wars. Such as “Didn't you hear what the pilot said? About the atom bomb? They're all dead” (Golding 16). There are several references to the wars, Piggy even talks about grown-ups being responsible and
Metaphors by Sylvia Plath describes feeling heavy, fat, and nauseous literally. However every phrase, every line, and every word in Metaphors symbolizes a deeper alternate meaning. Sylvia Plath uses metaphors, symbolism, and motifs to explain the feelings associated with pregnancy. A riddle of 9 lines is the perfect way to describe this poem, and there is no coincidence that it in fact is the first line of the poem. This poem about a pregnant woman gives many hints toward pregnancy. The most obvious
not daytime. Were one to attempt a midnight dip, they would find the waters to be frigid and biting against their bare skin. Long grasses sway in the brisk air, as hair may swirl around a girl’s face as she dances in the wind. Their shadows appear tendril-like, and stretch far along the beach. Waves gently lick the shore. The full moon in the sky indicates spring tides to be in full effect, meaning that tonight the tide is far lower than average. Damp sand is the evidence left behind from the high
affected by the lack of enforced guidelines and the defiance against them. His changing hair is symbolic of his changing character. When Ralph is running away from Jack’s tribe, “His hair was full of dirt and tapped like the tendrils of a creeper”(212). The simile “tapped like the tendrils of a creeper” is comparing Ralph's hair to a special stem of the winding vines in the forest. This describes his hair as being stringy and winding around in the same manner the vines covering the forest are tangled. This
Donatellos David Donatello was one of the most important and influential artists of the fifteenth century. As a master artist, he sculpted some of the most beautiful pieces of the Italian Renaissance. His innovations impacted many artists of his time, and set the standard for centuries of sculptors to follow. Donatello’s style is clearly defined and easily recognized in nearly all of his pieces. An exception is the bronze, David, dated 1425-1430. David strays from the traditional style of
heartlessly cremated, lives bid farewell with a lonely tear, and not even the ashes of liberty were able to be whiffed in the monoxodized morning sky. Pakistan and its civilians had plunged into deepest mourning as an onyx blanket leisurely wove its tendrils over the nation, plaguing it, depriving the once-united country of its birthright. Was this an epidemic like the Bubonic Plague, a warfare like the WWII, a revolution like its own, a natural disaster like a massive earthquake, or perhaps mass destruction
towering redwood trees, gazed in awe at the magnificence of a statuesque mountain, or happened upon a crystal clear alpine lake, there is no experience quite so ethereal as a lotus field at dawn. Freshly killed rabbits cooking on ceramic hibachis send tendrils of smoke curling upward from the fire, as though the animals’ spirits are reaching for each other under the low haze that presses down across the darkness of the water. Whispers, and the gentle stirring of the water against the raised stone path
