.... culture, which is revealed to be under the thumb of the right-wing leader by virtue of his financial holdings; it is this man who indirectly draws Boku into the maelstrom of the sheep chase and robs him of his independence. No wonder, then, that there is no core, only vacuity, to Boku's being. He is literally without a past (or a future, for that matter). Victims of erasure, neither his family nor his divorced wife, for instance, impinge much on his consciousness. Paradoxically, he is often filled with a sense of loss, though the content of that loss is not clearly spelled ou .....

.... was unreal in one way; much more real in another. …it was possible to say things you couldn’t say anyhow else, things that needed an effort; possible to go much deeper. But not for her; not yet anyhow. (Woolf 171) Kramer 2 With Septimus, seeing his best friend Evans die at war has been a major trauma in his life. His wife Rezia must constantly take him away from his reality and have him focus on things not involving war or him thinking of it. Septimus sees beauty in small lifeless things that surround him.

.... Shows he's not as strong as he portrays himself to be, he's a coward inside, he can't face up to what he's done. b) "... As sparrows, eagles, or the hare, the lion." (Act 1, Scene 2, Line 39).the soldier is speaking of Macbeth and Banquo. just as an eagle easily defeats the sparrow or the lion easily defeats the hare, Macbeth and Banquo defeated their opponents. this is portraying one as an eagle and the other as a lion. either way, there was no competition between Macbeth and Banquo and their enemies. Shows the characters of Macbeth and Banquo and how fierce they rea .....

.... also, making them different. Each of these pieces imply different things to different extents. Akhmatova’s version leaves an abundant amount of information to figure out for ourselves while Szymborska’s uses connotation in a manner which gives us more detail as to what is going on. Although there are many differences in the two different versions of the same poem, several things contribute to the similarities among them. One of the most noticeable similarities is of course the general theme the story line, and tone. All of the elements of poetry are prevalent i .....

.... York and getting thrown into the real world Esther had been very successful academically: `I had already taken a course in botany and done very well. I never answered one test question wrong all year.` Because of her perfectionist attitude, Esther was surprised to hear herself say that she didn't know what her career plans were: `Usually I had these plans on the tip of my tongue. "I don't really know", I heard myself say. I felt a deep shock, hearing myself say that, because the minute I said it, I knew it was true.` She claims that she has `always wanted to learn German .....

.... a large determination towards school, both to fulfill the anticipation of his parents as well as for himself.

.... would have anyway. Quote "If I had forbade him to sign that muster book then and there, I would have lost a son. Is that what you want? But I saw him there so tall and strong I could have wept. You can't shelter him. There comes a time, and this is that time" (page 75.) I think that Moses had to die in order for the story to continue because if he had lived I don't think that the Battle would have been such a alarming experience for Adam, and because of the traumaticness of watching his father's death Adam was able to grow up and become more of a man. Some of the .....

.... a lot. Though they do it at different times, both brag often. "I swam in the blackness of night, hunting monsters out of the ocean, and killing them one by one" (ll. 250-253). Beowulf likes to brag about his accomplishments. But Beowulf and Tick are also very different. For starters, Beowulf wore lots of armor and expensive stuff, but Tick only wears a big blue Speedo-type-thing. When Beowulf went to meet Hrothgar, he wore his expensive armor. "Glittering at the top of their golden helmets" (ll. 214-215). Beowulf liked to show of his wealth be wearing expensive armor. Beow .....
