Analysis Of The Book ' The Wolf '

The disappearance of the Neanderthal race is still a much debated mystery. The myth that our ancestors, the original homo sapiens, whipped them out was once the conventional theory on their extinction. The same old narrative of we were stronger, they were weaker. Essentially survival of the fittest on the human scale. However, in The Humans Who Went Extinct, Author Chris Finlayson provides insight on a very different perspective. His theory on the Neanderthal extinction was due to climate change and chance. The ability to adapt was the reason our ancestors thrived while the Neanderthals died out. Jean Auel 's novel The Clan of the Cave Bear is a classic coming-of-age tale about an outcast who thrives in a foreign society despite numerous obstacles placed in front of her. Although, it is based in the prehistoric times, I highly doubt that there is much historical accuracy to this story. It is a powerful tale, however from a historical standpoint, I believe it is as useful as the Spartacus television show on the Roman Era. Both novels cover the Prehistoric World, however, each story 's view is drastically different than the other.

Red moved so fast, co-ordinated and swift. From marching to firing Red was blinding, but it wasn't my red. My red was my sister’s auburn hair, the dancing light of a fire, my red can grab you by the shoulders, it can burn your blood, and it yearns attention. But Red was terror, Red is the spilling of blood from those you love. Red was the viciousness that consumed

Metamorphoses of the Werewolf is a book that charts the evolution, growth and changes of werewolf stories “from Antiquity Throughout the Renaissance.” Each chapter focuses on a tale or set of myths in different time periods, and analyzes them, comparing and contrasting, as well as theorizing the meaning behind them based on textual evidence, mainly from church and court documents. Through this method, Ms. Sconduto points out direct correlations between werewolves and the belief systems of the churches in power.

There are many ways authors write their books that can vary from style, experience, setting, and language. One author that I would like to talk about is Walter Dean Myers and the book that I would want to analyze would be Somewhere In the Darkness. This novel speaks about a poor little boy who was adopted at the age of two after his mother died and had to move to Harlem leaving his family behind . He also had a speech impediment and couldn’t speak or write as well as others but that didn't stop him. The book “Somewhere In The Darkness” is about a boy named Jimmy who was adopted by a very kind-hearted lady after his mother had passed away and his father went into prison. In the book his father is finally released and gave a surprise to Jimmy and takes him to Arkansas to settle down but Jimmy does not trust him. Walter Dean Myers usually writes his books from his own experiences which makes them inspirational, thought out, down to earth, and somewhere relatable to the reader!

A werewolf is someone who changes form into a wolf for a period of time, typically around the full moon. It is unknown when and where the first werewolf myths came to be, but one of the earliest recordings is of Bisclavret by Marie de France. In her story, the protagonist is a baron from Brittany, who has to leave his otherwise normal life for three days each week and roam the woods as a werewolf. As a nobleman in human form, he has conformed to and personified masculine gender norms of the middle ages, yet once he has transformed into Bisclavret, they are abandoned. To be masculine during any age, is to be in possession of the traits or qualities associated with men. The gender norms represented in Bisclavret by Marie de France are so

Throughout American history, there have been unrelenting efforts to force Native American peoples to surrender their tribal existence, national sovereignty, land ownership, tribal land relations, and indigenous tribal religions by turning to western ideals of the Christian religion. Black Elk Speaks by John G. Neihardt is a literary text of considerable significance especially on American culture and religion that tries to examine how Native Americans reconcile their sentiments regarding these unrelenting forces. The book’s main character, Black Elk, a Lakota holy man who is raised in the Lakota Sioux nation’s Oglala band, uses his visions to prescribe solutions for his people. He witnesses various events that shape his life such as the massacre at Wounded Knee and the Ghost Dance. Black Elk is an uncharacteristic member of the Sioux nation, particularly due to his youthful visions and final emergence as the Sioux medicine man with healing and prophetic powers. His great experiences give a deep insight into how the Sioux related with nature. By the time Black Elk is interviewed by John Neihhardt, he is in the twilight years of his life. He is risking a lot by revealing some sacred details about his life to a white man. However, he feels compelled so that he can preserve his sacred visions and thinking for posterity. He uses detailed symbolism as well as instructions passed down

Lauren Wolk centers Wolf Hollow around Annabelle a twelve-year-old girl, who is challenged by the bullying from one of her new classmates: Betty Glengarry. Furthermore, she lives on a ginormous farm with her parents, grandparents, Aunt Lily, and two younger brothers, Henry and James in a tiny town just outside of Wolf Hollow, Pennsylvania. Annabelle first encounters Betty on her walk home from the school house. Betty wants her to bring her something valuable, consequently, Annabelle fails to please her, so she whacks her with a stick and threatens her to hurt her younger brother. Additionally, Annabelle also has to fight to bring Toby, a World War I veteran who became a vagabond, to justice, due to Betty’s numerous claims against him. Betty,

Usually when two people’s point of views are depicted in a story, the books are separated to help the reader understand which character is thinking or saying what. In these two books, the points of view from different people is a reoccurring theme among the pages. In A Thousand Splendid Suns, points of view from two afghan women are portrayed. At first, the story of one woman is told, then the book is separated into a different part telling the story of the other woman. When the stories become associated with one another, the book is separated once again into a different part, telling their stories together, but with chapters separating their points of view on the shared story.

We are only humans after all… Time and time again, writers have used the ideas of monsters to express specific themes throughout stories. May it be good versus evil or overcoming all odds. Subsequently Patrick Ness tries to play with the ideas of monsters but not in the way that one may seem. In his book “The Monster Calls” Patrick Ness uses the monster as a symbolic metaphor to convey that humans are not perfect beings they are always contradicting them selves based on what is right or wrong. Humans need to realize the wrongdoings they commit based upon those moral rights, atone for them and move on.

An old Zen Buddhism is saying said that ” the classic form is emptiness, emptiness is form.” Which means that the outside world without cognizance is a perpetual changeful world, our cognizance is the core of the world, which is inflected the whole nature. Sometimes we are eclipsed by our cognizance that we cannot find out the truth. We used to admit the fact in our sight that process with our cognizance, which probably is the illusory world. In addition, the people in the allegory give up to walk out of the cave that still back to the dark. Besides in the movie, Neo found out that which the world, which he lived a long time was the in illusory world. Both of Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” and the Wachoskis’ The Matrix are involved in this principle; however, they are having some similarities and differences that between their changes and their worlds.

An abundance of research has been made to try to understand human behavior is specific event. This paper is takes the traditional methods of research through observation, and the new evolution of adapting math to make sense of the studies (Wolf, 1978, p. 205). Wolf (1978) goes into detail on how explaining people’s behavior is not valid enough for a study, but instead using measurable methods to support the finding (p. 207). To strengthen his argument Wolf (1978) uses a variety of studies that show the flaws in studies that do not use mathematics to explain their findings (pp. 205-208). As Wolf (1978) begins to use the research that did use math to explain their finding, he points out the importance of using math to defend what the research has found on explaining human behavior (pp. 212-213). The argument that Wolf makes to explain the method of conducting research demonstrates the new

Red is described differently; she is competent and takes regards to her own safety. Carter notes that even though “it is the worst time in all of the year wolves…this strong-minded child insists she will go off through the wood…she is quite sure the wild beasts cannot harm her although, well warned, she lays a carving knife in the basket her mother has packed with cheeses” (Carter 132-133). Red instead of being a naïve girl as in Perrault knows the danger that is lurking in the woods so she deliberately packs protection. Here is the first clue that she will not become a victim as in the case of the child in Perrault’s story.

A young psychic teen hiding from the CIA embarks on a quest to find a hidden treasure that is linked to an old murder, but corrupt police, the CIA, greedy relatives, a crazy homeless man, and the girl he falls smitten with hinder his efforts.

Spring had finally sprung and Sophie just couldn’t waste such a beautiful day. “I think I’m going to take a walk!” she said to herself as she was admiring her blooming flowers. After she watered all of her flowers she went back into the house to put on her jacket.

Zhuangzi is one of the few defining figures of Chinese Taoism. He was probably the author of only some parts of the text that is found today and considered as a source of inner spirituality. The chapters are only the first seven chapters of the text. Most of his work was written and compiled by other thinkers and followers of his who had similar views yet different speculative bearings. The work of the founding figures of Taoism when compared is a puzzle. The life of Zhuangzi can only be surmised from the present text. However, the text fails to provide confirmation to the traditional story which has been speculated upon for centuries. Archeological evidence and discoveries, on the contrary, make it plausible that Zhuangzi was the
