Magic Merlyn Moment Analysis

After eating some food and resting, he headed to the village nearby. At his arrival, “the whole village was roused”. “Children shrieked” and “women fainted”. “Some fled, some attacked” the creature. The creature was “grievously bruised by stones and many other kinds of missile weapons”. He ran away and “fearfully took refuge in a low hovel”. (p. 83)

Mercutio: I believe a song to describe Mercutio and his personality “Livin La Vida Loca”- Ricky Martin. This song is a good fit for Mercutio because it is about partying and running around much like Mercutio is portrayed to enjoy to do. One of the lyrics I feel like that applies is “Upside down inside out” because the way Mercutio parties he must have is life turned upside down and inside out every once in awhile. Another lyric that may fit is “Woke up in New York City in a funky cheap hotel” not necessarily because Mercutio would wake up in New York City but because to part as often as him someone would have to wake up in a place that is unfamiliar to them.

When Wart still refuses to tell Kay, Kay “took a fold of Wart’s arm between the nails of first finger and thumb, and pinched for all he was worth” (86).This shows that Wart participates in scuffles as he often fights with Kay. Wart shares similar behaviors with rooks in the way Wart and Kay fight and jump on each other and the rooks make rude remarks and pounce on each other. Another reason why Wart greatly admires the rooks is that “They don't just fly, like other birds, they fly for fun” (155). When Wart is transformed into a goose, he is surrounded by many geese when they begin to take

The poor man lurches towards the nest, a blood trail left by the cut in his foot wanders behind the fellow. His stomach stirs up in a fit, he hasnt eaten in a few days. Footsteps echo throughout the corridor, drowsey the man confuses his own footsteps for those of the creature that defends this cavern. A cold air grazes his neck as he waits to see if the his ears have mistaken something else for the creatures footstep, all is silent only his breath pierces the air. A pidder padder rears it head, the sound of clomping crashes into the man 's eardrums as he begins to shake in fear. Chilled to his core he anticipates the worst, but yet in a surprising relief the

LionWhisker charged off towards the cave before either of them could argue. As he approached the cave he let out a fierce yowl that seemed to echo through the forest. At that same moment a badger blundered out of the cave. LionWhisker leaped at the badger raking his claws across the badger’s muzzle blood oozing from the freshly made wound.

     In the final transformation Wart visits the badger. The badger is a great philosopher who enjoys giving scholarly commentaries. While Wart is visiting him, he explains a story he has written on the creation of the animal kingdom’s hierarchy. In his commentary he explains how man answered God’s riddle and is awarded control over the animal kingdom. He lives a life of solitude because many other animals do not think at his level. They listen he is old and experienced, and with this comes respect.

In the world of literature, many characters go through mental changes. In T.H. White’s novel, The Once and Future King, the protagonist Wart shows examples of his evolution from childhood to manhood. His teacher, Merlyn, is responsible for this growth of wisdom that occurs as Wart is introduced to new lifestyles and customs as he embodies various animals and situations. Wart, also known as Arthur, gradually loses his naive ways in order to one day become a successful king.Wart’s innocence is lost when Merlyn transforms him into varying animals to learn of their unfamiliar habits. Although Wart does not realize he is learning valuable lessons from being a pike, goose, or even a badger, he is gaining the wisdom he needs to prepare for his most challenging role yet. These lessons provide the foundation of him becoming the future king.

The wolf yelped when the slug tore through his left shoulder, and tried to run away, but couldn’t. He fell to the ground, and then started trying to get back up. Charity ran over to the wolf, then stopped and stared in awe as he started changing from a wolf into a man!

Both authors use pathos to emotionally appeal to their intended audiences. Mersh and Walker throughout their articles incorporate several graphic images. For example, Mersh included a picture where Muslim prisoners are stacked up on one another in the shape of a pyramid while being naked. In the same picture, two military officers are shown posing with smiles on their faces. She writes, “both are grinning and giving the thumbs-up” behind the pyramid (3). In the same manner, Walker included a picture of prisoners with sandbags covering their faces. This is important because by including pictures of these events, it personifies the struggles of the prisoners. Both authors wanted to humanize the struggles so that the reader can connect with them

The stick grazed the beast eye, blinding it in one eye. I took this to my advantage; kicking it in the chest as it whimpered to the ground by roared a loud and wind-filled growl into the air, declaring war. I bent down to the ground, before I lunged at the beast, swinging my legs around so I was on top with my broken ankle out of

On the weary night, a shadowy beast wandered into the town of Hadleyville. Attracted by the light and singing of the town’s tavern, the beas punch open the door. The pieces of broken door flew across the tavern hitting liquor bottles and people inside. The men, too drunk with moonshine, are only able to make out the beast contour marked with moonlight. Anger by the appearance of the beast, the drunkard next to the entrance pull out his revolver and open fire. The bullet, upon contact with the beast, ricochet off and hit another drunkard. The bartender appear from behind the bar counter and blast the beast away with shotgun. While it caught him by surprise, the beast stand tall unmoved. The men at the tavern, scared by the beast, began to scream and retreat. Many jump off from window, gun in one hand and their drink in another. Grendel then

I believe that the purpose of this adventure was to ultimately create a divide between Kay and Wart’s futures. Merlyn knows that Wart is destined to be a powerful king and that Kay will be a knight. Therefore, he sends them both on this adventure knowing that Kay will be the one to ultimately kill the griffin and lead the mission, which is a knight’s job. Wart, on the other hand, was the one trampled by the griffin, and he believed that Wart would come to a a realization that he did not want

At the bird’s appearance and apparent vocal articulation, he is at first impressed, then saddened. He compares this evening visitor as only another friend which will soon depart, just as “other friends have flown before” (58). But the raven again echoes quite aptly his one-word vocabulary, thus leading the man on to think more deeply about the possibilities that exist at this juncture. Somewhere deep inside him, he has realized that it doesn’t matter what question he poses, the bird will respond the same.

When your values are clear to you, making decisions become easier,” says Roy E. Disney. Indeed, most of us have and shared different values, which can be social, political, economic, and so on. Albert Camus (translated by Matthew Ward 1989) in his book The Stranger tells the readers a story about a young man called Mersault. Mersault is the main protagonist in Albert Camus’s book The Stranger. Mersault is represented as an ordinary man even though he does not act like others. He is a nonconformist and does not want to play the game that every individual is playing in one’s society, which is to choose one side and sometimes to hold belief that they do not even agree with. The title of his book already tells us a lot about the main protagonist,

Change is not an easy transition during a generation, but there is hope for the upcoming generation.
