Mythic Heros: Sinbad The Sailor
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 517.... Now that I look back at the stories, there are some parts of
Sinbad's fantastic tales that bother me.
First of all, Sinbad never set out in search of adventure. These
amazing things just seemed to always happen to him. He normally set out as a
merchant, carrying goods from one exotic land to another. Yet, on each of these
trips, something incredible happened to him and his crew, resulting in a dead
crew and a fantastic story for Sinbad the sailor.
Secondly, all of Sinbad's great adventures occurred sequentially. In
other words, he went immediately from one adventure to an .....

Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 479.... it is the opinion of the narrator. This fact poses a discrediting, of sort, to the validity of the parable. It may not hold true for each individual that is reading the parable, yet it seems to be reflective of the experiences of the narrator and no one else.
These interpretations, though complicated and seemingly apparent, do not portray the atmosphere of the parable as adequately as I felt after I read it over and over again. Perhaps in the Parable’s simplicity I could be able to interpret something a little more simple and relative to the human viewpoint. Or rather than r .....

A Sword In The Stone
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 868.... strength didn't really matter and instead, it was more important to have intelligence and to know how and when to use it. Merlyn had a very interesting philosophy, which I agree with, he told Arthur "The way to learn it's by listening to the experts." This quote leads to another of the many experiences Arthur had, the one with the hawks. This one was only so that Arthur had a chance to see other's point of view and to see what these experts (the hawks) did different.
What Merlyn tried to accomplish with these real life experiences was to show Arthur the bases of values .....

Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1458.... it. It is dark and treacherous though, and every day there is a challenge. A similar story tells about a tidal pool with life called `Cannery Road'. This part of the story has to deal with figures of Christ. It mainly deals with Santiago as being a figure of Christ and other characters as props, that is, characters which carry out the form of biblical themes. On the day before he leaves when he wakes up, Manolin, his helper, comes to his aid with food and drink. Also a point that might be good is that he has had bad luck with his goal for a great period of time and is sure it .....
