...In the essay "Joyas Volardoras," Brian Doyle focuses on how a heart is mesmerizing in various ways. He uses the hummingbird's heart to describe how small a heart could be so powerful and other examples of hearts to show what it could endure. He mainly tells us with shifts and changes of tone, imagery and sensory being used to convey his message across. Doyle shifts his tone when he writes," ... Mammals and birds have hearts with four chambers" he gave examples of animals because he wants readers to think deeply about what animals could go through like the hummingbird. He also shifts his tone from talking about animal hearts more than hearts in general like when he mentions, " So much held in a heart in a lifetime.", and other examples of what human heart endures. Doyle creates an image with his words, and he also makes sure the word he uses is very crucial for it the story. He uses a lot of adjectives, which make it wordy. For example, in the final paragraph, he is transitioning from animals to humans. He makes the pace equal to the pace of a human heart beat. Then he uses real sayings that connect with a human being's heart to make people truly think about these occurrences in your lifetime. What's more, he gives a bunch of background information to the mammals and birds. However, when he transitions to the human heart, he doesn't give as much background as the mammals and birds. He just goes straight to the feeling we can receive as human from the...

...Sacred Heart of Jesus Montessori School Highschool Department - Recto Campus Cagayan De Oro City Name: Arrah-Lou D. Palma Date Submitted: Oct. 24, 2014 Section: Gentleness Teacher: Shareen Baslot 1. Summarize Mark Twain’s significant points In The Damned Human Race, Mark Twain compares the behavior of different animals to human beings to prove in contrary to the Darwinian Theory. Humans actually descended from higher beings. His essay proves a lot of good points. Humans are selfish and wasteful, while animals take only what they need to survive, humans are the only beings in nature that hold grudges and take revenge and that humans are the only beings with morals. I agree and disagree with Mark Twain’s essay. He did live in a different time but cruelty still exists the same. If you analyze the human race or all animals, you can find evil in both creatures. Humans and animals cannot be compared properly. Animals do some awful things to each other as well as human. Mark Twain just lists human’s bad traits. There are a lot of positive traits of humans; he goes into detail of only the negative traits of humans. If there are bad people, there can also be good people. It’s true today, and was also true in the time Mark Twain lived in. In the 1860s, around the time when Mark Twain lived, there was an American Civil War and this is probably why he was so ashamed of human beings. There is something he missed...

...e Story of an Hour" What do YOU think killed Mrs. Mallard? Why? What did you learn by reading the essays following the story? How do you think that reading the sample essays will help you in writing your own essay on fiction? The Story of an Hour written by Kate Chopin is about Mrs. Mallard, the sickly wife of Bentley Mallard who is believed dead. Throughout the story the Chopin describes the rare reaction of Mr. Mallard towards the institution of marriage after her husbands dead. Chopin describes the grief of the woman in such a sad event, as a potential for the woman to change her life in a positive way. The different ways in which the author describes Mrs. Mallard feelings and actions after the notice are purposed to reveal the problems of being tied to another person. From my point of view the concept of being married means being tied to another person no matter how good or bad circumstances are. The matter of fact is that being tied to another person, prevent us from being ourselves. The story of an hour clearly reflects this concept beginning by describing Mrs. Mallard as a woman with a “heart trouble” and not certainly because she is unhealthy. All of her illnesses come her condition within marriage, either because she finds out about her husband death or because of the inherent thought of being tied to her partner. This is explained later as the author describes the main character as "young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain...

...Animal Farm Comparative Essay Rebellion, gluttony, and manipulation are all common themes when it comes to the struggle for power. Animal farm by George Orwell, a book which all of these take place is remarkably similar to the Crucible by Arthur Miller and Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Animal farm, The Crucible, and Macbeth are all written similarly and revolve around the same themes, such that many characters in Animal Farm and Macbeth portray similar characteristics. Animal Farm and The Crucible share common themes and conflicts. In all three books the structure of peoples values change drastically for a turn for the worst. These novels and play all follow popular foundations of literature which revolve around inner evil, the addiction to power, and the loss and regaining of self-identity. Animal farm and Macbeth’s antagonists, Napoleon and Macbeth portray similar characteristics. Napoleon and Macbeth both share important roles in their respective books in that they directly influence and change the fate of many. The two power hungry tyrants go to an extreme to achieve their goals but in two very different ways. Napoleon a more cunning character abuses his superior intellect to deceive the other ignorant farm animals in order to gain power. Through Machiavellian methods he slowly begins to take over the farm by convincing the animals to be more reliant on him, ultimately making his self-proclamation of leader a reality “No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon...

... opinions are formulated about subjects such as music, art, religion and politics. My grandmother raised me to believe in God, Jesus as our Lord and Savior. As a young adult I gave my life to Christ and continued believing the truths of God that I was taught as a child. As a Christian, I believe that the Bible is the word of God, and it stands as the lenses of how the world is viewed in a Christina/Biblical view. In Romans chapters 1-8, the apostle Paul writes about the views a Christian should have and how they should live. In the next paragraphs of this essay, it will be briefly discussed how the Bible guides us through tough life questions such as: Who we are? Where do we come from? What is the meaning/purpose of life, Relationships, and our Destiny? The Natural World A Christian’s Biblical world view of this world is seen in Psalm 139.16, the Psalmist describes how God personally created him in the womb of his mother. We are humbled at the fact that Good took the time to create us in His image. Since the creation of the world humans have been given the revelation of the truth (Romans 1:18) Gen1:1 shows God as the creator of all things. God in his all-knowing power formed the Natural world in detail to perfection. Human Identity Mankind was created in the image of God. Adam and Eve were tasked to be caretakers of the land of Eden (Gen 2:15). They were above the animals. Therefore the misconception some people may have concerning animals and how they identify them...

I have always thought Peta was a genuine organization, yet animal lover Heather Harper can beg to differ in a story I recall reading my junior year of high-school. Harper had been an ex employee for fifteen years before speaking out about the organization in the article titled “WHISTLEBLOWER: PETA Ex-Employee Alleges She Was Encouraged to Steal and Kill Pets, and to Falsify info”. In the article she alleges that she was encouraged by PETA president, Ingrid Newkirk, to steal and kill pets, and to falsify the records. Sad stories such as this one make me want to learn what else PETA could be hiding behind closed doors. As I was researching the organization my thoughts began to shift regarding the accuracy off their investigations....

...Literary essay - The Black Cat Alcoholism is known by many as a disease. A never-ending addiction, which can completely change the abuser’s personality to a point where he or she is almost unrecognizable, compared to how he or she was before. In the story “The Black Cat” by Edgar Poe Allen, 1842, the protagonist goes from an animal-loving husband to an animal and wife -abusing psychopath, due to him being constantly under the effect of alcohol. The narrator in the story is on his death row, and he is looking back at earlier events while confessing his sins. In his childhood, the narrator was very fond of animals, and was given many pets by his parents, which he enjoyed taking care of. “From my infancy I was noted for the docility and humanity of my disposition. My tenderness of heart was even so conspicuous as to make me the jest of my companions” (P.7 L. 18-20). The narrator was as a child, very sweet, kind and lighthearted, which is why he took great pleasure in spending time with his pets. Unfortunately, he was also bullied, which resulted in him spending all his time caressing the animals, because they liked him compared to his bullies. As a grown man, the narrator gets a new cat but ends up mistreating it. He starts drinking a lot and feeling irritable and violent while even abusing his wife and his other pets. This causes the black cat, Pluto; to avoid and neglect him, because it is feeling scared. From the narrators point of view however, he feels that it does not...

...Dear Reader, Below you will find my intellectual journey as I have undergone a critical reflection on various forms of interpretations of children’s literature. This paper is essentially an academic endeavor, but it does differ from an academic essay in that the conclusion is reached in the same way an insight is formed: by starting out with an idea, thesis, antithesis and finally sublation. The resolution is an epiphany of sorts that, like a quest, comes only at the end, after having undergone various trials. I would like to think that this piece of writing exhibits the point I wish to instill: the necessity of imaginative freedom in myth. Let Absurdity Reign Erich Fromm interprets the story of Little Red Riding Hood as the “expression of a deep antagonism against men and sex” (TFL 241). Men (who are represented by the wolf) are seen as “ruthless and cunning animals, who turn the sexual act into a cannibalistic ritual” (CFT 7). A man is a heartless animal driven by the two most primary animal faculties: lust and hunger. Susan Brownmiller contrasts this position with her interpretation of the same tale as a “cultural story that holds the gender bottom line by perpetuating the notion that women are at once victims of male violence even as they must position themselves as beneficiaries of male protection”(CFT 8). Thus, according to Fromm, it is the wolf himself that symbolizes men, whilst for Brownmiller the story itself perpetuates a message of gender prejudice and stereotyping...

...Worldview Essay My worldview consists of knowing that God created the universe and everything in it. He created us in his image to take care of His creation and be companions for one another. God’s love reaches further than any human mind can fathom. God sent His only Son to die on the cross to save His creation from their sin and bring them closer to Him. I believe that God has a plan for all of us and we must be patient and listen for His answers to our questions. The Bible tells us what rules He has for us. I believe that the Bible is the word of God for the people of God. It is in a way a manual for the future to understand the past and how the future might look. I understand that my views are not the same as everyone else. I believe that my views change as I age and experience other fascists of life. Many people wonder who God is and what His characteristics are. God is father, son and Holy Spirit, the Three in One. In Exodus, we are told that the Lord is the One who brought us from Egypt and saved us from bondage. God is love, powerful, almighty and compassionate. Psalm 46:1, God is our refuge and strength. A very present help in trouble. That scripture shows that the Lord is a place of strength and peace from fear. Our Lord God is present with us always. He carries us through our troubled times to safety. God shows us compassion every time it rains, but not flooding the Earth. Human beings are the temple of the Lord God. We are living bodies able to love, hurt...
