Surfing, Duke Energy, and the Coastal Alliance On my way out to the beach I still had no idea what I was going to do for my fifth essay. As my surfing buddy and I exited the freeway and entered the town of Morro Bay I saw three giant gleaming smoke stacks surfacing over the top of the hill. As we got closer to the beach the three smoke stacks gave way to a massive power plant that was a mere fifty feet from the water’s edge. It was surrounded by a fifteen foot cement wall and cameras everywhere

Storytelling is powerful; it lets the speaker reminisce about their experience to fill the void of curiosity from the audience. In “My Last Duchess” by Robert Browning, the Duke negotiates with the Representative of the Count in attempt to marry the Count’s Daughter, whilst talking about the ex-wife’s lack of care towards their marriage and giving hints that he took a part of her death. While in Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado”, the narrator, Montresor, tells a story to an unknown person
this poem was created, women were merely the trophy of men. Much like they have become augmented trophies of men today, women of the past had no say in anything. When people read this poem, they may think "why does the woman put up with the duke, why doesn't she leave him?" Back then, women listened to the man they belonged to; he was their master. Today, a woman with even the slightest bit of common sense does not put up with the attitude of any man. "Too easily impressed: she liked
Women's Behavior in Coleridge's Christabel and Browning's My Last Duchess Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Browning wrote in two different eras. Coleridge's "Christabel" and Browning's "My Last Duchess" both deal with women's sexuality. The women of the poems are both presented as having sinned. Christabel's own belief that she has sinned is based on how a woman of her time was supposed to behave. The Duchess's sin is that she violates the code of conduct for a noble wife
night is dark and long just like the rest of my life. But it is not too late, as long as I am living I will struggle to get what I deserve. Life has become very upsetting lately and I miss the times when I was the highest authority and the sole Duke on Milan. Now things have changed and I sit here in my room helpless, with nothing in my hand, no charge or position in Milan. What a glory I have experienced, guards on my security at all times, wo castles with several maids at my service, I worked
is plenty of food to eat, so the communal hunt takes care of their physical needs. That and the absence of a complex political hierarchy creates a much stronger sense of communal equality hearkening back the the mythical good old days. The exiled Duke himself attests to the advantages of living far from the court, free of the deceits of flattery and double dealing and welcomes Orlando to the feast without suspicion. And, most important here, especially in comparison with the history plays,
To what extent, and in what ways, does the meaning of a literary text rest with its reader? The dictionary definition of the word ‘meaning’ is ‘what is meant by a word, text, concept, or action’. I will be focussing on what is meant by literary texts, and whether meaning is a single fixed idea created when the text is written by the author and is unable to change in any time or situation. Or whether meaning is a malleable form in which certain variables, such as the readers’ gender, class, age

mistress and is reflecting upon their actions while contemplating the image of their lover’s beautiful face. Both are selfish men who were jealous of their victims. The two speakers came from very different backgrounds, one a rich and powerful Duke, the other a low-born worker living in rural simplicity. Porphyria’s Lover is a love story told in the words of a simple man obsessed by his love for a woman of noble birth. The first five lines describe the weather on a miserable, wet evening
the Duke certainly appears to brag about his wife's flirtatious behaviour, and it stopping. Returning to the idea of cruel male domination, though, this is obviously apparent in 'My Last Duchess' when the Duke suddenly proclaims the following; "Notice Neptune, though, taming a sea-horse." I would argue that Neptune is representative of the Duke, 'taming' though I would suggest imprisoning, brutally dominating a beauty of nature, which is representative of the Duchess, whom the Duke violently
"My Last Duchess" is a poem about an arrogant and extremely powerful Duke who is describing his deceased Duchess. From the word "last" in the title it is implied that the duke has had more than one duchess. In this poem, the Duke is extremely egotistic. He says, "I choose never to stoop." The duchess would look at everyone in the world as being equal no matter what class they are. The duke however cannot do this. He is too worried about his appearance. "Porphyria's Lover" is a poem in which
do. They did love each other though because when Queen Mary was on the deathbed she refused to sign the paper that would have Elizabeth killed. If she didn’t really love her sister, she would have let them kill her and allow the Duke of Norfolk to take over as king. The Duke of Norfolk was Elizabeth’s cousin and wished to be king more than anything else. On the other hand, Mary called her sister a bastard and other bad names. Elizabeth and her cousin Mary Queen of Scots often clashed, both personally
accumulation of critiques on Browning’s work, but very little on “My Last Duchess”. The article I found concentrated mostly on the Duke in the poem, and our reactions to him, stating that “[t]he utter outrageousness of the Duke’s behavior makes condemnation the least interesting response…” The title of the article was “Sympathy versus Judgment”. Some of its points are that the Duke controls the entire poem, that it being a monologue was significant, and that he is almost easy to sympathize with and like
awful whooping and yelling, and banging tin pans and blowing horns; and we jumped to one side to let them go by; and as they went by, I see they had the king and the dike astraddle of a rail--that is I knowed it was the king and the duke, thought was all over tar and Feathers, and didn’t look like nothing in the world that was human--just looking like a couple of monstrous big soldier-plumes. Well, it made me sick to see it; and I was sorry for them poor pitiful rascals,
Momma Lowrider: Sandra Teran of Duke's Car Club On Easter Sunday of last year, the sound of gunfire, then police sirens, interrupted the music booming from the cars on South Sixth Avenue. Three people died and six were injured in two separate shootings that occurred within an hour of each other on the street crowded with cars and people (Stauffer). This event reinforced the way the public often views cruisers: as violent juveniles or gang-bangers engaging in a dangerous, vain activity. The violence
