For many, death could truly be the worst thing to happen. The theme of morality is explored thoroughly both literally and metaphorically throughout Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby. While murder is certainly gruesome, it can also be a symbolic form of karma. The murder of Jay Gatsby, not that of Myrtle Wilson, is the greater crime. This is demonstrated using the presence of hope, for Gatsby unmaterialistic views while Myrtle suffers from the clouded view of false glamour. Tragedy offers another
The Transition of Season in Summer and Winter by Mary Shelley and Winter and Summer by Stephen Spencer Both Summer and Winter by Mary Shelley, and Winter and Summer by Stephen Spender discuss the transition of both seasons. In Summer and Winter, the author is a spectator. She discusses only her observations of the seasons. In Spender's poem, the author partakes in the poem, noting his feelings about winter and summer. Spender's views are a more personal account; he actually participates
Both Shelley, in "Ode to the West Wind," and Wordsworth, in "Intimations of Immortality," are very similar in their use of nature to describe the life and death of the human spirit. As they both describe nature these two poets use the comparison of how the Earth and all its life is the same as our own human life. I feel that Shelley uses the seasons as a way of portraying the human life during reincarnation. Wordsworth seems to concentrate more on the stages that a person goes through during life
essay he has elucidated the change of seasons- change from winter to spring- in an impressive way by the use of images, similes and metaphors.. Winter, as he narrates, brings woe and causes wreck. The intense frost that sustained for several weeks caused the death of birds. The remnants of the beautiful bevy of birds – lapwings, starlets, thrushes, lied scattered in the fields. The “invisible beasts of prey” had wolfed the birds. The winter had massacred the song birds and their blood-soaked skins

Jealousy in Much Ado About Nothing, Othello, and Winter's Tale The common thread of jealousy ties together the main plots in Much Ado About Nothing, Othello, and The Winter's Tale. In each of these plays, the main conflict is centered around some form of jealousy. While jealousy is the mutual, most prominent cause for turmoil in these plays, its effects on the characters, and ultimately the plots, is different in each case. This difference has much to do with the way in which the concept of
A Race for Rats in The Winter of Our Discontent Some runners look only to the finish line, choosing to ignore what they step on or who they pass along the way. In The Winter of Our Discontent, Steinbeck portrays the dawning of a selfish American society concerned solely with winning personal races. Set in a small New England town during the early sixties, the story focuses on the life of Ethan Allen Hawley, an intelligent man with prestigious family history who is employed as a grocer to the dismay
A Feminist Reading of The Winter’s Tale In the Shakespearean tragedies we have studied, we have been exposed to tragic male protagonists who create their own downfall. Within these tragedies, Shakespeare's female characters are vested with varying degrees of power in relation to the tragic heroes. In looking back at Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, The Winter's Tale can be seen as an extension of the exploration into the nature of women and power broached in his earlier tragedies, as well as

Italo Calvino as Author/Game-master in If On a Winter's Night a Traveler In an interview conducted in January 1978, one year before the publication of his novel If on a winter's night a traveler (Iown), Italo Calvino responded to a question about his future writing plans with these words: "What I keep open is fiction, a storytelling that is lively and inventive, as well as the more reflective kind of writing in which narrative and essay become one" (Calvino, Hermit in Paris 190). Calvino created
There is a variety of sports in the world. Some sports are enjoyed only in particular seasons such as summer of winter. I prefer winter sports to summer sports because I am more active in the winter than in the summer. Three winter sports I love are skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating. Skiing is the first winter sport, which I have learned. In order to enjoy Skiing, you need a pair of skis, ski boots, a ski pole, and a ski suit. First of all, you should wear your ski boots and fix it to a binding
Breeze”, closely links seasonal conditions and activities to different lifestyles. Specifically, Joshua links outdoor activities and spring in Manhattan to a life that needs “more adventure” and “thrills”. He also chooses to link indoor places and winter to the picture of a life that is “limited”, “dying” and “misspent”. Light and dark are also used as a binary within this story. What shows the connection between the ideas described is how the author uses repetition and patterns to emphasize his most
Introduction Winter finishing of steers is a common practice for many years in Ireland and indeed around the world. There are many advantages and disadvantages to this type of finishing system which will be discussed in this report. The most common method of finishing steers over the winter period is housing cattle for 80-120 days where they are fed grass silage and concentrates to an ad-lid stage until fit for slaughter. This is determined by visually condition scoring and fat scoring steers as
Winter is the most astonishing time of the year; nothing beats the beauty of fresh, white snow. There are so many things you can do with snow. For example: building a snow fort, having a snowball fight, or skiing. I went skiing for the first time at 19 years old and might I say, it was truly amazing. At the end of 2017, I took a trip to Italy to visit my friend Matilda. I stayed with her and her family. We did so much, and we went to so many places. But Skiing was the activity I wanted to do the

The overview of the village captures an ephemeral moment, despite the cold presence of the snow, the serenity of the town enraptures the viewer in warmth and welcome. The rustic simplicity of the image charms the foreign spectator
Life in Alaska vs. Life in Ohio Living in different places takes many roles on people. Destinations such Alaska are always cold and on the other hand in Ohio people experience many different types of weather on a weekly pattern. Living in Ohio my whole life, I can relate to that very well because one day it could be sunny outside and then the next day it would be snowing. Once you are accustomed to living in a place for a long time, the weather and situation you have to take are not unusual anymore
