Case Study: The Bone House Wasp

In the story, “The House of the Scorpion” were so many amazing cliff hangers. That made you want to read more and more. The overall main character was a boy named Matt. When being introduced to the story Matt was six years of age. He lived in a small house out in the middle of a poppy field, In a country called Opium. But there's a catch, Matt isnt a real boy. He’s a clone and was created in a lab and given birth by a cow. Throughout his life he wasn't treated very nice for being a clone. Eventually things start to look up for him and end’s up being the new leader of Opium.

There is no better phrase to describe a fond memory than ‘an elusive dream’. Something, that no matter how much you struggle for can never be relived. It sits on the dual pillars of place and time, you may conquer one but the other will always be there, to cause despair. This was the common struggle experienced and expressed in “The Brown Wasps” and “Once more at the lake”.

Obsessed With Killing In the novel The Wasp Factory, by Iain Banks, All the characters possess an uncommon character trait. The main character, Frank Cauldhame is obsessed with killing. He has been obsessed with killing since he was a young child, when he murdered three innocent children. His obsession has evolved into a daily ritual due to multiple reasons. First, Frank’s dad has secretly put additional male hormones in Frank’s food since he was a young child. (Frank was born female, but after years of irregular male hormone in-take, his body and mind slowly transformed into male) This degenerate act caused Frank to react to situations much differently. Frank is also obsessed with killing because, in his perspective, he has nothing

In the story, The House of the Scorpion, written by Nancy Farmer, the main characters are Matt, El Patron, Celia, and Tam Lin. The main setting is the future in Mexico. In the beginning of the story, Matt realizes he is a clone. The main problem is nobody likes Matt because he a clone and not an actual human being. The solution is Matt is the actual El Patron since he died. At the end of the he is now the ruler of Opium and people now respect Matt as their ruler.

Upon a Wasp Chilled with Cold, written by Edward Taylor, tells of a very interesting story in which a wasp warms itself up in preparation for a journey. Edwards word choice is very vivid and one may describe his diction as passionate. He seems to use rhyme and an array of poetic devices as a means to convey his passion. As an orthodox Puritan he truly captures their mentality and desire for God. In the poem Edward envisions himself as this little wasp basking in Gods warmth and divinity, he imparts with his readers his desire to reach a state of clarity in which his ‘misted sight’ would be unblemished and ready to gaze upon God.

In the story, “The House of the Scorpion”, written by Nancy Farmer, the main character is named Matt. The story takes place in the future around Mexico in a city named Opium. The main problem in the book is Matt is a clone and people do not like clones because clones act weird because they have an injection when they are first made that corrupts their body and makes them do things that humans don’t normally do. But Matt is different, he didn’t get the injection but people still think he is like the other clones, disgusting and brain-dead. The problem is solved when everyone is at a party for an old man named El Patron. He died and is having a party thrown in memory of him and El Patron left a note that told everyone to drink a certain wine but the wine was poisoned. Everyone died except for Matt, his “mother” Celia, his friend Maria, and a few others. Everyone is dead so the few that survived decide to start a new life where no one knows who they really are.

One day, Jürgen Otto was walking in a forest and nearly stepped on a spider. The spider quickly jumped away and Jürgen had never seen a spider that looked like the spider Jürgen had almost stepped on. He looked on the Internet and in books but only found one picture in a book made in the 1970s. He had discovered the new species called the Peacock Spider. “Peacock Spiders are only about 3 millimeters long and are found only in Australia” (Jürgen Otto, 2005). Jürgen now spends over 40 hours a week studying these spiders Jürgen has found and learned to love Peacock Spiders and document their actions and interests. Jürgen has found over 10 new species of spiders for scientists.

By the fall of 1944, half of the ferrying division’s fighter pilots were women. WASPs made three-quarters of the domestic deliveries of all domestic deliveries of fast fighters.

The Brown Wasps by Loren Eiseley’s essay demonstrates how human sense of place and self can be based on fantasy. Through his writing, he depicts humans and animals clinging to things they are very familiar with. Eiseley illustrates how humans and animals tend to act in a similar manner by comparing the homeless men who find shelter in train stations with the scenario of the wasp that continuously revisits its hive for accommodation. This is evident in the manner in which both men and wasps die in their special areas. Eiseley depicts homeless men coming to die to the train station benches as similar to the death of wasps in the paper homes. He notes that men sit and cling to benches at the train stations and at times fail to leave the benches

As Alan McCluskey, following Aldrich, argues, “usually only white and wealthy—and Anglo-Saxon Protestant—males were permitted to enter positions of influence and contribute to American high culture” (9). But while WASPish principles would maintain some hold on New England for another half-century, as we saw with Prescott, prestigious institutions began to extend class privileges to those—like Coleman Silk—who did not necessarily fit the WASP designation physically, but were sympathetic to the WASP habitus. As McCluskey continues, “Roth’s philosophical orientation to the nature of human identity holds that [identity] is an ineluctably synthetic process that is unstable, contingent, and ultimately outside the parameters of rigid definition” (8). We see as much when, about the time of Prescott’s retirement and death, a young Silk makes the decision to discard his black heritage and live his life as a white man. While relatively light-skinned, however, Silk knows from personal experience in a Norfolk brothel (“You’re a black nigger, ain’t you, boy?”) that he will never ‘pass’ for ‘pure’ white, and instead adopts a Jewish identity (114). In the slowly expanding definition of who ‘belongs,’ Silk decides to negate the race difference that would exclude him by adopting a religious identity that, while still marginalised, had increasing access to the upper echelons of New England collegial culture. As Zuckerman explains, he presents himself as a “small-nosed Jewish type with the

In 1993 Volkswagen had record low sales but by the end of 1997 the VW brand had sold 137,885 cars. That was an increase of 178% from it’s 1993 slump. It is safe to say that the the ’94 relaunch of VW on the American Market was a success. The “Drivers Wanted” campaign, developed by Arnold Communications, I believe was successful as a result of excellent market research and positioning.

Albert Einstein once said, “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man” (“Einstein Once Said…”). After careful thought on this matter, this can be a scary concept to process. Millions of years have passed with the honey bee gracing the earth, and in fact, the honeybee is the only insect that aids in the production of food that is consumed by the human race (“20 Amazing Honey Bee Facts!”). Imagine going to a grocery store and there being no almonds to buy, a scarce supply of apples to choose from, and a very limited

The above quote is the response of the Financial Times to the best-selling novel, “The Wasp Factory”, and in my opinion, truer words were never spoken. I myself had to force the book out of my hands in the early hours of the morning on several occasions. This clearly says something about the sheer power of Iain Bank’s debut novel. Whether you love it or hate it, once you have read the first page you are instantly struck by it’s brilliance. Throughout this essay, I intend to explore the mind and characteristics of the main character, Frank Cauldhame.

In this paper, I will discuss a play by Athenian playwright Aristophanes, The Wasps. First, I shall give a brief overview of the The Wasps. Then, I will examine the courtroom scene of the play and argue that Philocleon is not an impartial juror. Next, I will discuss generational gap in Athens. Finally, I will conclude the paper with my outcome of the investigation of the conflict between Misocleon and Philocleon.
