"Hotel California" is the title song from the Eagles' album of the same name and was released as a single in February 1977. It is one of the best-known songs of the album-oriented rock era. Writing credits for the song are shared by Don Felder, Don Henley, and Glenn Frey. The Eagles' original recording of the song features Henley singing the lead vocals and concludes with an extended section of electric guitar interplay between Felder and Joe Walsh. The song has been given several interpretations
described as humorous or sardonic but there is a bit of irony in the speaker’s tone (230). Frost’s use of “natural lyrics provide a comparison with the outer scene and the psyche” (230). This meaning that the poem describes some of the general idea of hell through either fire or ice, but also presents it with the ironic undertones associated with them such as desire, hatred, passion and the idea of death. Though the poem is simple and short it presents the metaphorical downfall of the speaker in which
Gabriela Raya | Sociology 135 | December 18, 2015 “For as long as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster. To me that was better than being president of the United States. To be a gangster was to own the world” (Scorsese 1990). The American Film Institute for its representation of mob families has named Martin Scorsese’s 1990 film GoodFellas. GoodFellas is without a doubt the best American mafia film for several reasons. Not only is it a biographical crime film with the real events involving
imagine hell having so many different levels because we are taught that one sin is no different from another. Dante makes a clear point that not all sin is created equal; as he visits each level this is made clear. The existence of heaven or hell is some people’s beliefs. The fact that every man and woman will have to answer for he choices that were made in here life is frightening to some. It even scares many into living a life wholesome in Gods eyes. The picture that is painted of hell by Dante
The bond between a child and parent is a sacred one because your parents will always be there and will always want good things to happen to you. Holden sees his parents’ love and affection as “touchy as hell” and stays away from them. The way that Holden treats his parents is despicable and atrocious because they do so much for him and his future, but he does not acknowledge it. His parents put him in many prestigious schools which he should not even be
off the path of moral truth and into Hell. The Virgin Mary and Santa Lucia ask Beatrice, Dante’s deceased love, to send some help. Thus, Virgil comes to the rescue and essentially guides Dante through Hell and back to the mortal world from which he came. However, things begin to seem kind of odd. When reading the Inferno one may begin to question the way Dante describes Hell and the things that occur within, or even the things we have always believed about Hell. Despite the way it is described and
Stay focused and keep a close eye for survivors.” Sargent yells. “ Sir yes Sir!” We all reply. We began marching all around the rice paddy. The putrid, musty smell to it making my nose twitch. In the distance we hear a moan- faint and soft. We all freeze. Sargent motions us to the sound and we proceed silently to the noise. “ Bernard!” I yell dropping to the ground like the dead leaves from the old maple tree. He lies there with what seems to be a twelve-inch staff-made of tree bark. Blood crimson
(Wilkins 5). As with all systems of rule, an attempt to force the peoples governed by them into obedience creates possibilities for positive and negative reinforcement via religious beliefs (Wilkins 12). Good and bad, or in more common terms, heaven and hell. Punishment on earth is often short lived and quickly forgotten, but a threat of eternal punishment is well, eternal. From ancient Egyptians to current Judeo-Christian religion, there is always an eternal punishment for infractions of the religious
all who view works of literature in their own way. Although authors express their ideas in their own words the different types of readers can interpret it with their own meaning. In one piece of literature, Dante’s Inferno, the author’s trip through hell can be viewed and interpreted in many ways. An individual can perceive different meanings from Dante’s Inferno based on their beliefs and background. Dante’s Inferno, part of the epic poem Divine Comedy, was written by Dante Alighieri in the 14th
states that, “All this was about as near to hell as a man would care to get…” (78). For the conditions were deplorable. Long hours with no compensation were expected, zero consideration was given to the safety of the workers, and such basics as heating and cooling were completely disregarded. As seen on page 72, “On the killing-floor you might easily freeze, if the gang for any reason had to stop for a time. You were apt to be covered in blood, and it would freeze solid; if you leaned

Step six is to go back to the wet paper and clean up any water that is sitting on it, so that is damp. Step seven is to take the woodblock with ink and put it on the wet paper and put pressure on it. Step eight is to carefully flip the paper over so that the woodblock is on the bottom and the paper is on the top. Step nine is
narrates his decent and observations of hell. A wonderful part of that depiction is his descriptions of the creative yet cruel punishments that each of the different sinners receive. This story is an integral part of literary history, and even if I were to have the imagination and ability of Dante Alighieri, I don’t believe I would change this tried and true version known universally. Since I have the desire to maintain the validity of Dante’s version of hell in its entirety, I will explain the parts
nothing to pride himself on. Having a craving for white women should not, therefore, be read narrowly as a phallika, as a Black Shinto Kanamara Matsuri enabled by loose censorship strictures in a post-code Hollywood. It speaks to more than being an over-sexed instinct. This use of the buck stereotype can be read as an act of revolt in which a camera virtuoso turns a vile practice to good account. Only the buck allows him to push the envelope and stands him in good stead when it comes
The book takes us through Dante’s journey through Hell. There are nine circles in Dante’s Hell. Each circle of suffering is located within the Earth. The nine circles are divided into three major groups: Incontinent, Violent, and Fraudulent. For each circle, a different sin is recognized. In my opinion, the punishments that correspond with the sins that are committed on Earth are justified in Dante’s version of Hell. Before the first circle of Hell, there is the Ante-Inferno. The Ante-Inferno contains

“I’m going to die! I swear I’m going to freeze to death,” Quill, our melodramatic seven year old proclaims. My husband James sighs next to me. “You will not die, stop saying that. Keep moving, you’ll stay warm.” “Dad, what’s this?” Quill pokes something with the walking stick. “I’m still going to die.” Dani keeps trying to see Quill’s find which annoys her older brother. James has made it to the pile of snow. “Stop poking it and let me see.” “Is it bear poop? Dani, back off, this is man stuff.” Quill
learned what to look for. Reading The Divine Comedy: Inferno by Dante that the farther you go down into hell the more extreme the punishments are. Also, when studying 1001 Nights I found the repetition of words to illustrate morals throughout the embedded narrative as a theme found in the work. In Dante’s The Divine Comedy: Inferno, the theme that in order to reach to heaven, you must go through hell stood out to me. The allegory starts off with Dante walking through the woods alone. He is trying to
an individual in films such as Rosemary’s Baby (1968) and The Rite (2011). After searching for two Hell-worthy movies in my personal DVD collection, I stumbled upon The Little Shop of Horrors and The Shining. While one could compare and contrast many aspects, this essay will concentrate on the following: differences between each film and the characters chosen to represent the Devil, the personal Hells associated with each individual, the evil influences and their end goals. Lastly,
and he tries to hurt her, she could freeze up and get really hurt. "Anything." She whispers "Did you see the sun set?" I ask "Yes, it was amazing." I can practically see her smiling as she talked about science. "What do you want to do for our date tomorrow, when I'm officially ungrounded." I smile, barely able to contain my excitement, I can't wait to see her tomorrow. "I don't care, as long as I'm with you." She says laughing quietly. "That was cheesy as hell." I laugh "I know!" Autumn giggles
So there I was sitting in the passenger side of the beat up Subaru with some indie rock band playing in the background. The singer sounded like he was on his last leg and was about to run out victoriously, jumping into the freeze frame with his fist curled in the air. I had just finished performing halftime at the football game, we were still down by forty two. Boy, you should have seen us dance, we were goddamn awful. The new girls didn't know the steps, bumping mindlessly into each other and the
