Unique, original, and a work of art. Pride and ashes is beautifully written by a writer name Joy. Moreover, it is a fictional book about werewolves. Werewolves are supernatural creatures that are half man and half wolves. They travel or stick together in groups called packs. Uniquely, in packs, they follow a well-built system in which who leads the pack. The pack consists positions, role or rankings a werewolf could have. Furthermore, a pack contains a leader also known as the alpha, the alpha has a second in command or his personal right-hand man called the beta, delta is the third in command, a pack also has a group of people that are better known as omegas, they are the lowest of the low in a pack, and are often categorized as the weak ones. …show more content…
Beta is obviously the second to the strongest, he or she is the person whom the alpha strongly relies on, trusts, and is most likely the alphas best friend. The delta is the third strongest person in a pack. Omegas, as mentioned before are a group that is often bullied, judged, and make fun upon due to their statuses. The omegas had obtained their positions or acquired their poor ranking based on many different reasons. Its either a person failed to transform into their wolf, committed a crime, or was placed in this group by the alpha just because he felt like it or resented that person, it’s unfair but these actions are often left behind doors for certain people to know, people that are selfish and heartless. The werewolves also have royalty, these people are the superior force within the werewolf community. They can command anyone, even alphas, they also possess power beyond the people beliefs. Werewolves, in addition, were blessed with abilities humans don’t own or have. Despite these facts that differ werewolves from humans, werewolves have feelings too. They have something that is called life mates, in fact, it’s a blessing amongst
Disasters can be so impactful; some can forever change the course of history. While many at the time thought this story would soon pass, and with it all the potential bad publicity, the story of the Triangle fire spread quickly, and outraged many people. On a beautiful spring day in March 1911 when 146 workers lost their lives, a fire would prove it could do what years of reformers had failed to do, get the government on the side of the workers. I would argue that the fire largely impacted the country. Specifically, the Triangle Fire ended up changing New York’s interconnected political and economic scene, and spurred on the creation of stricter safety codes. For the first time owners would hold responsibility for their actions. Max Blanck and Isaac Harris; being indicted for manslaughter was proof of this. Social change seemed to be spurred as well; the general public and newspapers would come back the workers of New York. Large institutions would suffer as well. Tammany Hall would be feared less and less by waves of new immigrants. The largest change brought about by the blaze would be legislation. Twenty-five bills, recasting the labor laws of the state
Godard called Alphaville ‘ a film about light. Lemmy is a character who brings light to people who no longer know what that is.’ (Godard,cited in Brody,2008,p229). The first image we are shown is that of a bright flashing light.It opens the film with a hypnotic flicker, its intensity unsettling. It reappears as a car’s headlight, then becomes the car’s indicator signalling a left turn. Later on it’s a light bulb swinging back and forth, the flash of Caution’s instamatic camera, the flicker of fluorescent ceiling lights, the suggestion of neon lights. The flashing light is characteristic of modernity and appropriate to Alphaville, but it’s also crucial in itself (without interpretation) as a filmic image.
betas are subordinate wolves that help the alpha in decisionmaking or other pack activities. The beta wolf can be either
. Open your book to page 125. Research paintings by Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo. This painting “The Four Elements - Fire” is an allegory of fire. What lesson or message does the painting seem to suggest about the meaning of fire? (1 paragraph). The painting “The Fire” by Giuseppe Arcimboldo is made of fire, candles, rifles, and different materials such as sticks and what looks to be turquoise. This painting to me gives off the feeling of a strong warrior or just something very hot and strong. The use of everyday objects put together to create a human looking face brings together a picture that means more as if a person was made of fire, candle holders, and guns creating the illusion of a portrait.
There are two factors that play a role in making a dog a pack leader. Those two factors are the hormones and the level of energy. A pack leader is usually male because of the hormones. A strong pack leader must have a good level of energy because they must be able to hunt for food and look for water. Caesar goes further on in his article to talk about how “a dog is born to be a follower.”
“Banning books gives us silence when we need speech. It closes our ears when we need to listen. It makes us blind when we need sight.” -Stephen Chbosky. Fire has many symbolic meanings throughout the novel and throughout history. In Ray Bradbury’s novel, Fahrenheit 451, he uses fire symbolism to represent Montag’s view of fire throughout the novel. Warmth, purification, and censorship are symbolic meanings of fire relating to Montag’s journey throughout the story.
the wolves were capable of. In his group he finds a monogamous pair who are
Fire is also referenced throughout the book as a symbol of destruction, connecting to the theme of change, but when preventing change. When one thinks of fire, they think of destruction that is the meaning conveyed from the man-made fire in the book. The fire in the society is used to burn books but on another level, it is linked to the destructive ways of the society. When looking at the women in his society, Montag sees “these women twisting in their chairs under his gaze, lighting cigarettes, blowing smoke, touching their sun-fired hair and examining their blazing fingernails as if they had caught fire from his look. Their faces grew haunted with silence” (Bradbury 92). The fire represents how the ways of the society are killing its citizens,
Determining whether the God you praise and worship is choleric because of your presence by the sins you’ve created is at never ending battle in the 17th-18th centuries. Upon the Burning of Our House is a poem, with nine stanzas, written by Anne Bradstreet explaining her understanding and ability to live and learn from sin to God. Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God is a work, written as a sermon by Jonathan Edwards, who preaches to all the non-Puritan sinners. His belief is that if they don’t convert and take blame for their sins, God’s anger toward them will be unbearable and force them to the pits of hell. Analyzing Bradstreet’s and Edwards’ works, a reader can distinguish the personality of the two writers and the different views of God
Werewolves are indicated in the paranormal activity. The history of werewolves has been out for a pretty long time and people do not know if the story is a myth or not. The history began in Wisconsin in 1936 as a man encountered a large creature towering over six feet and covered in hair. Werewolves are known as lycanthropes, which are mythological or folkloric people with the ability to shape-shift into a wolf or wolf-like creature (Werewolves in Wisconsin, 2014). Werewolves’ features are like a wolf mix with a man, very hairy, big and strong. Werewolves are shape-shifting creatures with unusual speed, strength, reflexes, a...
Altho somewhat similar the two stories are very different in many ways. The first story is called “Mystery of Heroism” by Stephen Crane and the other one is “To Build a Fire” by Jack London. Both of the books are part of the short story genre and realism stories. The author's purpose for writing the “Mystery of Heroism” is to tell a story about a brave man who went to get water for a dying man. The purpose for writing “To Build a Fire” is to tell about a man and his dog and how he tried to fight the below freezing temperatures to stay alive. Both authors use realism because they want to tell real stories about people and how they had to overcome struggles in their lifetime. These two stories have similarities but they are way more different than anything else. One of the stories is about a man who has to overcome fear to get water for a man.
The leader by its meaning is one who goes first and leads by example and then the other will followed him after being motivated. The above diagram can be explain as; with the three combinations, the person or the leader will influence the other people or the follower to achieve the purpose or goal. In order to achieve the goal, the leader must have a deep rooted commitment to the goal that he will strive to achieve even if nobody follows him (Wong, 2007). The follower also can influence the leader in order to achieve the goal.
The Werewolves of Society Over the past several hundred years, werewolves have been an important part of Western cultures. Werewolves have appeared in blockbuster movies and been the subject of countless books and stories. Werewolves are dark and powerful creatures that terrify us on multiple levels. While they are some of the most violent and merciless monsters that horror has to offer, there is something about the werewolf that we can identify with.
Forethought, courage, and compassion are traits inherited by all. In the myth “THe Firebringer” from Echoes of Mount Olympus, Prometheus, the creator of the humans passed down theses traits that are too often taken for granted. Earlier in the myth, Prometheus is asked by Zeus to create a new human race with only one restriction- he mustn't take anything that belongs to the immortal gods. Eventually, Prometheus creates his humans and instructs them on basic skills such as hunting, and instinct. Despite his hardest efforts, Prometheus’ human race is cold and miserable.He knows that only with the fire from the heavens will the humans be successful. When Zeus finds out what Prometheus has done sentences him to endless torture, shackled on a mountain.
The ambiguity of this couplet within “Pale Fire” encourages a variety of interpretative possibilities: Shade could mean that he is using his own life as commentary within the poem, which is unfinished at that moment, or he could be prophetically predicting that the poem will be unfinished, or the couplet could be a frame-break that slyly refers to Kinbote using his own life as commentary to the eventually unfinished poem. As neither Shade nor Kinbote provides an analysis of this couplet, it seems that the reader is left to decide what it means by him/herself. This striking instance of ambiguity, in addition to other seemingly impossible coincidences in the text, has led critics to speculate that Shade could have conjured up Kinbote, or vice versa. Whichever interpretation is favoured, attempts at interpreting Pale Fire by locating the most authoritative narratorial voice are thwarted by such instances where interpretive possibilities abound. It is for this reason that diagrams cannot adequately represent the framing narratives in Pale Fire, though I have attempted to represent a few possible structures, which are included in the Appendix. The many positions held by critics, together with the intense debates on the NABOKV-L Internet forum, only attest to the seemingly chaotic structure of framing narratives within Pale Fire.
