I agree with Alice in that the connection Sobel establishes with her readers using personal experiences is extremely captivating. However, my love of her little stories and metaphors become distractions to me truly grasping the scientific nature of what she is describing. Whereas Grinspoon's fact and reasearch heavy writing style becomes a little dry and I seem to lose interest after digesting so much information. After sampling both authors' styles, I find myself torn between the two. I want to be told of the stories of Sobel's friend getting moon dust as a secret love gift and gaining powers but I also need the structure of Grinspoon's multifaceted explanations of basic principles like convergent evolution to help me fully comprehend what

“Two different people, two different places through a one-way window with two different faces.”- “Point of View” Blink 182. This past summer I have read Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech and A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. After reading both books I have reached the conclusion that many details in the setting, characters, and storylines affect the outcome of the situation. Both are stories told through the eyes of a party present during the events that the books are which upon based. There are also many differences and similarities I noticed throughout reading both of the books. All of which have led to my conclusion.
Although both books are written about similar topics, it is expression that separates the two. In the novel “Beowulf” by Seamus Heaney, and in the novel “Grendel” by John Gardner, both books explore what it means to recreate ancient english stories. By reading Beowulf or Grendel, one can distinguish the literary difference in each book when it comes to style of writing, format, and common elements in each book, therefore causing the reader to compare the overall purpose of each book.
There are two sides to every story. The events may be the same, but the tone in which the story is told shapes the reader’s understanding of the events. This idea is never more evident than through the disparity between Burton Raffel’s translation of Beowulf and John Gardner’s Grendel. Both novels are based on the idea of Beowulf killing Grendel. However, the two different points of view telling the story create vastly different novels. Beowulf highlights the heroic and positive world in which Beowulf lives. Whereas Grendel elucidates on the miserable life that Grendel is circumscribed to. The consistent variance in tone skews the events in two completely different directions. The tone between Beowulf and Grendel differ in
Many works are so inspiring, they are retold time and time again, sometimes in fresh, unheard ways. The ancient poem, known as “Beowulf,” is a complex epic detailing the arrival of the title character, Beowulf, and his battles with three otherworldly monsters. Grendel, a novel written centuries later by John Gardner, takes that story and turns it on its head. Grendel, a character filled with introspective thoughts, is one of the three monsters that Beowulf appears to fight. While telling the same story, the two texts have many differences, but often manage to get the same emotion evoked from the audience.
The detail in both stories is amazing. Grendel though, describes everything in greater detail. Mostly everything in Grendel creates an image in the reader’s head. One example would be, “The old ram stands down looking over the rockslides stupidly triumphant. I blink. I stare in horror. “Scat!”. I hiss. (Grendel 5). This creates a vivid image in the readers head of what his happening. Another example would be, “I cry, with another quick, nasty face at the sky, mournfully observing
“Beowulf” and Grendel are two tales similar in many ways, yet different from each other. These stories are like a coin; you cannot have one side without the other. Just as the sides of a coin share the same coin, these stories share a similar plot, a setting, and tell of the same events. The sides of a coin also have differences as do “Beowulf” and Grendel. In the case of these two tales this difference is in their respective philosophical views.
perfection. The narrator not only does it separate Nature from humanity and their desire for scientific discovery,
His book contains many aspects of his life that I can somehow relate to it.
To every story there are two sides. The idea may be the same, but the tone that the story is told in shapes our understanding of the events. This idea is can not be more evident than through the vast difference between the Anglo-Saxon poem “Beowulf” and John Gardner’s novel “Grendel”. Both are based on the very same idea of an epic hero slaying a monster. However, the two different points of view telling the story create vastly different perspectives.
2. What are the implications of the author’s arguments for other readings and discussions in this course?
The day was one of many. soon to my suspense something was going to happen that I would never forget.
Many have declared Tim hunt a sexist for a badly formed joke, so it’s hard to take analysis of said joke seriously. Hunt recalls that after delivering the joke, “I was very nervous and a bit confused but, yes, I made those remarks – which were inexcusable – but I made them in a totally jocular, ironic way. There was some polite applause and that was it, I thought. I thought everything was OK. No one accused me of being a sexist pig.” (McKie). Perhaps, then, the people offended were mostly people that were not present when the joke was made, or were simply too afraid to confront him at the panel; so, they went home and tweeted about it until he was fired. Internet justice at its finest.
In this paper, an analysis will be made about the innovative leader Vineet Nayar, a former CEO of HCLT. This paper examines and describes his leadership techniques within his organizations. In this paper, I will analyze the global trends that influenced the need for Nayar to create a more innovative organization. Also, this paper will introduce the five discovery skills and assess Nayar’s use of them as an innovative leader within his organization. Lastly, I will make recommendations for improvement on use of the discovery skills.
In the poem Song there are many different accounts of personification and a beautiful story being told. Gabriela Mistral wrote this poem about a woman who is heartbroken and sings along with her sorrows. Even as the day grew closer to night and everyone and everything stops singing, she continues. Mistral used personification to give the song its own life. She talks about the sing caressing a child and she also says how the night grows maternal.
